Examining Role of Anthropomorphism in Customer Switching Behavior

This study investigates the moderating role of anthropomorphism in the relationship between service failure (low vs. high severity) and switching in a post-failure context. The results showcase a dual effect of anthropomorphism, where it reduces the switching behaviour in low-severity condition and enhances the switching behaviour in high-severity condition.
