This study is about the influence of perceived justice with service recovery on customer satisfaction and the customer's behavioral results. Even though prior studies estimated overall customer satisfaction, this study measured customer satisfaction separately in two parts: satisfaction with the service recovery and relationship satisfaction. The results are as follows. Distributive justice and interactional justice have positive effects on satisfaction with service recovery. But distributive justice, procedural justice and interactional justice have positive effects on relationship satisfaction. Satisfaction with the service recovery and relationship satisfaction have a positive effect on customer loyalty.

Purpose: This study investigates the relationship between service compensation, consumer sentiment and revisit intention for service recovery in the Chinese foodservice industry, and the moderating effect of employee authenticity. Methods: Data were collected from people who experienced eating out in a city located in central China, and the hypothesis was verified through multiple regression analysis and hierarchical regression analysis. Results: The results indicate that the specificity of compensation affects both positive and negative emotions of customers, and the activeness of compensation also influences positive emotions of customers. Also, employee autheticity moderates the effect of specificity of compensation on customers' positive emotions. Both positive and negative emotions of customers influences revisit intention. Conclusion: These results show that the role of service compensation is important in service recovery in the rapidly expanding Chinese foodservice industry. In addition, since the sincerity of employees plays an important role in maximizing the recovery effect in the process of service recovery, it suggests that it is important not only to improve services in the quantitative aspect but also in the qualitative aspect through employee training.

The purpose of this study was to make a general overview of SST-Based(Self-Service Technology Based) services and understand SST-Based service failure by users and service recovery strategy based on attribution theory. To achieve these purposes, the study reviewed literature related to the unique characteristics of SST-Based service and user studies of SST-Based service. As a result, it was found that there are no significant differences between general SST-Based service and library SST-Based service. In addition, this study suggested appropriate service recovery strategies of service failure by users through the understanding of attribution theory. The finding was that the most important SST-Based service recovery strategy is to improve technical service quality of the services.

Due to fierce competition, many domestic fashion businesses are suffering difficulty in securing and maintaining customers. Accordingly, fashion companies are devoting all their energy to secure customers by using high quality and diverse strategies for distribution and promotion, and to secure loyalty by satisfying customers with the offer of excellent service. Thus, it is very important to provide systematic service recovery strategy available for handling service failure effectively. Therefore, the purpose of this study is comprehensively analyzing influences of expectation dis-confirmation and perceived justice for service recovery upon consumers' satisfaction and loyalty. The findings are as follows. First, as for the service failure that customers experienced, the more consumers who expect it to be recovered led to the higher formation of expectation-compensation dis-confirmation. Second, it was indicated that the higher seriousness in service failure that customers experienced led to the lower satisfaction and loyalty to service recovery. Third, as a result of examining influence of expectation-compensation dis-confirmation for service-failure recovery upon consumer satisfaction and loyalty, the customers who showed more positive dis-confirmation to expectation-compensation were indicated to form the more satisfaction and loyalty. Fourth, as a result of examining the influence of the perceived justice in the process of service-failure recovery upon customer satisfaction, all in 3 dimensions of justice had effect on customer satisfaction.

The aim of this study is to investigate the role of information service failure severity within existing framework of service recovery justice research and analyse the effects of the attribution of service recoveries on recovered user satisfaction and revisit. For empirical analysis, A total of 452 valid questionnaires were used to analyse the data gathered from university students who experienced the information service failures of university library. Some findings of the research are as follows: First, service failure severity has negative effect on service recovery justice. Second, procedural and interactional recovery justice has positive effect on recovered user satisfaction. Third, service recovery justice has significant influence on procedural and interactional justice. Finally, recovered user satisfaction has positive effect on user revisit and mouth of word.

Designing cost-effective service recovery strategies mix has been recognized one of important issues by both service researchers and practitioners. In spite of the rising interest in them, there has been scarce studies on them. In this paper, we try to find cost-effective service recovery strategies mix via game-theoretic modeling. Especially, we focus on the possible incentives such as voucher type reward and service re-performance which have different cost structure. We investigated three questions about the topics as follows:(1) Should the service firm use the possible incentive scheme such as voucher and service re-performance for service recovery?, (2) How much voucher and service re-performance is adequate for service recovery under diverse service failure severity level?, (3) How much voucher and service re-performance is adequate for service recovery under diverse threshold level to make the customer repurchase? The results are as follows:(1) The use of both voucher and service re-performance for service recovery results in greater surplus for the service firm. (2) The higher gets the service failure severity level, the higher total incentives are required in the equilibrium. As service failure severity level gets higher, higher level of discount might be more useful to the service firm. However, service re-performance should be cut down above some critical level of service failure severity in the equilibrium. (3) The higher gets the threshold level to make the customer repurchase, the higher incentives are required in the equilibrium, and the higher portion of voucher incentive is required relative to that of service re-performance in the equilibrium.

In this paper, we propose a technique for blockchain service replication and recovery using kubernetes(BR2K) that robustly executes blockchain services based on replication and supports systematic recovery in case of the service failure. Blockchain services are being developed and applied in various fields such as administration, finance, and medical systems based on the features of blockchain, such as decentralization, high security, and data integrity. In such areas where service continuity is important, it is necessary to provide robustness for execution of blockchain services, and a recovery plan for service failure is also required. To this end, BR2K provides an execution replication technique that systematically supports the sustainable execution of blockchain application services. Also, it introduces a robust container registry based on the blockchain service registry, systematically supporting the recovery of service failures by using it. In addition, Truffle, a blockchain service development framework, is extended to utilize the Kubernetes container management tool, and BR2K provides a technique for rapidly deploying blockchain services using the extended framwork.

Recent studies show that effective service recovery has a positive influence on customer satisfaction and loyalty. We also see the positive relationships among logistics service quality, customer satisfaction and repurchase intentions. Most logistics service suppliers have strategy regarding service recovery and logistics service quality. Therefore, we try to find simultaneous influence of service recovery and logistics service quality on customer satisfaction in the online shopping mall case. We, furthermore, examine the relationship among satisfaction and relationship quality.

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.
