TORRES FRAGOSO, Jaime  and  LUNA ESPINOZA, Ignacio. Assessment of banking service quality perception using the SERVPERF model. Contad. Adm [online]. 2017, vol.62, n.4, pp.1270-1293. ISSN 0186-1042.  https://doi.org/10.1016/j.cya.2016.01.009.

The purpose of this article is to evaluate the quality of the services provided by the two most important banks that operate in Mexico, using as case study those branches that are located in the four main cities of the Isthmus of Tehuantepec: Ixtepec, Juchitán, Tehuantepec and Salina Cruz. The methodological strategy of this investigation resided in the application of a modified version of the SERVPERF model, one of the most important in this type of studies, which assesses the perception of the clients based on five criteria: reliability, responsiveness, safety, empathy and tangible elements. Strictly speaking, these criteria or dimensions jointly define the quality of the service received. The results found indicate that, in general terms, the assessment of the clients of both banks regarding their services is high, which could be explained by the establishment of very low expectations by the users according to the specific socioeconomic variables. Additionally, significant differences were found regarding the assessment between groups of people according to the different analyzed variables, such as occupation, level of education and age range.
