- Abstract
This research aimed at defining the concepts of “complaint handling” and “service recovery” and finding out their influence on customer satisfaction, loyalty, and retention. A systematic literature review was used as a research methodology to reach these goals. Based on the literature review, a model of the influence of complaint handling and service recovery on customer satisfaction, customer loyalty, and customer retention, was developed and described. The analysis of previous studies showed that customer satisfaction was highly affected by complaint handling and service recovery. The other two variables: customer loyalty and customer retention, did not directly correlate with complaint handling and service recovery. However, based on reviewed articles, it can be seen that the influence of complaints handling on customer loyalty could be mediated by customer satisfaction; the loyalty of customers was significantly affected by the level of customers’ satisfaction. Meanwhile, another variable - customer retention was highly affected by customer satisfaction and customer loyalty. Therefore, it also had an indirect correlation with complaint handling and service recovery.
