LITERATURE REVIEW

Jinea Akhtar (2011)has briefing that “service quality is one of the success factorswhich always influence the competitiveness of an organization. This study examines the relationship between service quality, satisfaction, and loyalty in the private commercial banks in Bangladesh. The determinants of service quality were categorized into product features, physical aspects, customer

www.theinternationaljournal.org  >  RJSSM  :  Volume:  07,  Number:  05,  September  2017                                                   Page  123

services, and technology and security aspects. It has been proved service quality, satisfaction, and loyalty is strongly and positively related to each other”.

Dr. NarinderKaur (2013)has clear“ TRUST as an implicit or explicit pledge of relational continuity between exchange partners. One of the difficulties here is that “Trust” is closely related to the concept of loyalty and commitment and such, as might be considered to be the desired outcome of relationship building in customer market. The study has shown that the “trust” was very strong in Foreign Sector Banks”.

Rajesh Nair, Ranjith P V, Sumana Bose and CharuShri (2010)tried to find out the Service quality of Banks in Navi Mumbai. It tries to look whether there is gap between customer expectations and perceptions of service offered. One of the most popular models, SERVQUAL was used. It was observed that there were five important factors for service quality analysis which are Tangibles, Reliability, Responsiveness, Assurance and Empathy.

VandanaPareek (2014)has concluded that banking industry had sufficiently undergone rapid changes. The study showed that product attributes, employee Characteristics, customer convenience, bank tangibles, cost of transaction and customer communication were the main factors contributing to customer satisfaction in banks.

Dr. T. Vanniarajan, K. SubbashBabu (2011)initiatesthat the important internal service quality factors are their employees' and customers' orientation, team orientation and employee orientation, learning environment and outcome orientation. The important discriminant service quality factors of banks are customers' orientation and team orientation. They identified that these two factors are significantly and positively influencing the customers' satisfaction and the behavioral intention. Their study conveys the need of conversion of “high tech” strategy to “high-touch” strategy to create customer loyalty in the banking industry. STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM

In addition, still there is a need for us to diagnose the service quality and intensive banking services of CBE in Assosa.
