As the development of service marketing, research on service failure has gained more and more attention. This research aims to explore factors influencing the service failure severity perception, focus on consumers' internal propensity, ZOT(zone of tolerance) about service and comparison with other consumers in service failure situation. According to study results, it revealed that past experience satisfaction has negative effect on the zone of tolerance about service failure. Company image also has negative effect on the ZOT about service failure. While service importance has negative effect on the ZOT about service failure, it has positive effect on the perceive service failure severity. The ZOT about service failure has negative effect on perceived serviced failure severity. In contrast, social comparison perception level has no effect on perceived service failure severity, and negative affectivity also has no effect on that. In Conclusion, five hypothesis are accepted among seven hypothesis. This study gives important point to researchers and service providers in the service industry. For researchers, the result will be helpful them to further develop service failure and recovery framework. For service providers, the results will suggest specific guidelines for recovering the service failure. They can place emphasis on the serious point, so they can get a effective performance from the recovery strategy.

This study was intended to examine the effect that the quality of service delivered by social commercial companies and service providers and perception towards seriousness of service failure would have on the intention of repurchase and revisit. 10 hypotheses were derived from literature review. excluding the questionnaires that contained many missing values or inconsistent or insincere answers. The results of this study can be summarized from 3 aspects. First, it was found that the quality of service delivered by social commerce companies had a statistically significant effect on social commerce companies' service failure(Hypothesis 1) and social commerce company repurchase intention(Hypothesis 3) in connection with the effect that the quality of service delivered by social commerce companies and service providers would have. The quality of service delivered by service providers was found to have a statistically significant effect on service providers' service failure(Hypothesis 2) and service provider revisit intention(Hypothesis 4). Second, the perception towards seriousness of service failure by social commerce companies and service providers was found to have the following effect: The service failure by social commerce companies(Hypothesis 5) was found to have a statistically significant effect on service provider revisit intention(Hypothesis 8), but did not have a statistically significant effect on social commerce company repurchase intention (Hypothesis 6). The service failure by service providers was found to be statistically significant for service provider revisit intention(Hypothesis 7) and social commerce companies purchase intention(Hypothesis 9). Finally, service provider revisit intention was found to be statistically significant for social commerce company repurchase intention(Hypothesis 10).

This study investigates the effect of seriousness and controllability of service failure on perceived fairness, reliability, satisfaction and loyalty of customers. The result of the study is as follows. First, it was expected that a control-attribute and a seriousness-attribute would have an negative(-) impact on perceived fairness-attribute; however, the result showed that both did not have an negative impact on it. Next, a fairness-attribute of a procedure had a significant effect on trust, and a fairness-attribute of interaction and a fairness-attribute of distribution had a significant effect on trust and satisfaction. Lastly, trust had a significant effect on satisfaction while satisfaction had a significant effect on loyalty. Based of the result of this study, food-service enterprises need to perform a fast process of a recovery to overcome service failure rather than confirming a control-attribute and a seriousness-attribute of service failure. Also, they should set up a process of the recovery in the order of trust, satisfaction, and loyalty and check if this process is promptly carried out.

At this moment in time, this study wants to verify the role of the effect of justice awareness on trust and satisfaction and adjustment role of employees' authenticity. An object of his study was 206 people who complained about service and this study analyzed their questionnaires by using SPSS, AMOS. To sum up, First, this study result shows that the seriousness of service failure has a negative effect on justice and only controllability has a negative effect on justice. Second, this study result shows that justice awareness has a positive effect on trust and satisfaction and that recovered trust has a positive effect on satisfaction. Third, authenticity has regulation effect on the structural relationship of severity, controllability, trust and satisfaction. Based on such result, this study presented suggestive point and suggested future study.

The relationship quality and recovery of service failures perceived by consumers play an essential role in affecting the service provider's image and sales in terms of the highly involved service industry. In particular, implementation of successful relationship marketing strategies and effective recovery of service failures provide greater satisfaction for customers expecting customized services and reinforce the relationships between the companies and consumers. Based on these previous studies, this research conducted to find out the causal relationship between the variables influencing service recovery expectations and word of mouth(WOM) by approaching the severity of service failures from the perspective of relationship marketing and attribution theory. For the empirical analysis of this research, we conducted a questionnaire surveys of 360 service users of beauty salons, who have experienced in high-involvement services, and utilized 333 questionnaires for the final analysis. The hypothesis was experimented using the Structural Equation Model(SEM), and the results are as follows. First, we identified that the higher the customer perceived the severity of the service failure, the lower the quality of the relationship. Second, we verified that service users observed service failure as a temporary and uncontrollable factor as they distinguished service quality as higher. Third, the hypothesis that customers recognize service failures as a temporary one has a positive impact on service recovery expectation level is determined through empirical analysis. Forth, it was figured out that the higher the perceived quality of the relationship with the service provider, the higher the service recovery level expected by the consumers. At the same time, the hypothesis that optimism for service recovery expectation affects positive word of mouth has been verified. The results of this study help develop the customer-oriented business model of the service companies. Furthermore, the academic significance in that it suggested a new direction for the research of high-involvement service marketing.

2015년 기업생멸 행정통계에 따르면, 우리나라의 최근 5년 동안('2010~2014년) 연평균 창업은 77만개, 폐업은 69만개인 것으로 나타났다. 지난 2015년 한해에만 개인사업자로 106만8313명이 창업을 하고 73만9420명이 폐업을 했다. 이는 하루 평균 3000명이 창업을 하고 2000명이 문을 닫는 셈이다. 실패를 경험한 기업인들은 여러 가지 심리적, 경제적 어려움에 직면하게 된다고 연구 보고되고 있다. 이같은 결과는 사업실패를 경험한 기업인들에 대한 케어의 필요성을 보여준다. 지난 2010년부터 정부가 실패기업인들에 대한 재기지원사업에 나서고는 있으나 재창업지원제도의 효과성에 대해서는 보장하기 어려운 상태다. 일각에서는 재창업지원이 양적인면에서는 활성화됐으나 질적으로는 아직 미흡하다고 지적이 나오고 있다. 이같은 상황에 착안하여 본 연구는 사업실패를 경험한 기업인들이 겪게되는 심리적 특성과 재기를 하고자 할 때 방해요소로 작용하는 감정요인에 초점을 맞추고자 한다. 따라서 선행연구를 통해 사업실패를 경험한 기업인들의 감정메카니즘을 규명한 모델(건강신념 모델:Health Belief Model)을 적용한 창업실패관련 개인평가와 사업실패경험(재무적 손실, 비재무적 손실)이 재창업의도에 어떠한 영향을 미치는지 규명하고자 한다. 감정요인인 창업실패관련 개인평가는 지각된 심각성, 지각된 취약성, 지각된 장애로 구성했다. 또 창업실패관련 개인평가와 재창업의도 사이, 사업실패경험과 재창업의도 사이에 재창업지원정책, 창업자기효능감이 각각 조절작용을 하는지 유의미한 관계성을 알아보고자한다. 연구 대상은 정부 재창업지원 프로그램을 진행하고 있는 중소기업진흥공단, 서울산업진흥원, 재도전지원센터등 기관의 재창업지원을 받은 기업인을 대상으로 설문을 실시하여 이들이 재창업지원서비스를 받기 전과 후에 대한 측정을 통해 실증분석을 하려고 한다.이 연구가 설정한 가설이 맞을 경우, 시사점으로는 정부의 재창업지원 프로그램의 효과성에 대한 검증이 될 것이다. 또 창업실패관련 감정메카니즘 규명으로 사업실패 기업인들의 재기를 도울 수 있는 재창업지원정책의 고도화가 가능해 질 것으로 판단된다.
