Customers’ Responses to Service Failures: the Interactive Effects of Self-Congruence and Coping Strategy
We investigate the interactive role of self-congruence and customer coping in service failure encounters. We found that, when using problem-focused coping, customers having actual self-congruence with the service perceive lower levels of service failure severity. However, customers with actual or ideal self-congruence perceive failure severity similarly when using emotion-focused coping.
