Abstract

The user and task-oriented virtual customer assistants offered by banks to their customers can perform many transactions, provide information, and give investment advice to customers through banks’ digital platforms. The day-to-day increase in the number of customers experiencing virtual customer assistants necessitates questioning the quality of the service provided by banks. At this point, the aim of the study is to reveal the effects of the utilitarian and hedonic service quality dimensions of virtual customer assistants on customer trust, customer satisfaction, and customer loyalty, as well as to determine the effect of customer trust, customer satisfaction and customer loyalty on word-ofmouth communication. In line with this goal, the survey was applied in Turkey to 346 bank customers, experiencing virtual customer assistant, via convenience sampling and snowball sampling methods. Data were analyzed by the technique of structural equation model via the Smart PLS program. Research results show that the dimension of usefulness and entertainment, which is one of the service quality dimensions for the virtual banking customer assistant, has an impact on customer trust, customer satisfaction, and loyalty, and the dimension of being trend has an impact on customer trust. However, the research results show that trust in the virtual banking customer assistant positively affects customer satisfaction and loyalty regarding using virtual customer assistant. Since the application of virtual banking customer assistant is just a new service, the effect of word-of-mouth communication was also measured in the research, and it was seen that the trust and loyalty of customers towards this service had an impact on word-of-mouth communication. Also, that customers’ experience of virtual assistants in the banking sector in Turkey is yet to be studied reveals the originality of this research.

Özet

Bankalar tarafından müşterilerine sunulan, kullanıcı ve görev odaklı sanal müşteri asistanları, bankaların dijital platformları üzerinden pek çok işlemi yapabilmekte, bilgi vermekte ve müşterilerine yatırım tavsiyelerinde bulunmaktadır. Her geçen gün sanal müşteri asistanlarını deneyimleyen müşteri sayısındaki artış bankalar açısından sunulan hizmetin kalitesinin de sorgulanmasını gerektirmektedir. Bu noktada çalışmada sanal müşteri asistanlarına ilişkin faydasal ve hazsal hizmet kalitesi boyutlarının müşteri güveni, müşteri tatmini ve müşteri sadakatine etkisinin ortaya konması ile birlikte müşteri güveni, müşteri tatmini ve müşteri sadakatinin ağızdan ağıza iletişim üzerindeki etkisinin belirlenmesi amaçlanmaktadır. Bu amaçlar doğrultusunda Türkiye’de sanal müşteri asistanını deneyimleyen 346 banka müşterisinden kolayda ve tesadüfi örnekleme yöntemi kullanılarak, anket aracılığı ile veri toplanmıştır. Araştırmanın analizinde Smart PLS programı kullanılmış ve veriye Yapısal Eşitlik Modellemesi uygulanmıştır. Araştırma sonuçları sanal bankacılık müşteri asistanına yönelik hizmet kalitesi boyutlarından kullanışlılık ve eğlence boyutunun müşteri güveni, müşteri tatmini ve sadakati üzerinde etkisi olduğu ve trend olma boyutunun ise müşteri güveni üzerinde etkisi olduğu sonucuna ulaşılmıştır. Araştırma sonuçları sanal bankacılık müşteri asistanına duyulan güvenin, bu hizmete yönelik müşteri tatmini ve sadakatini olumlu yönde etkilediğini göstermektedir. Sanal bankacılık müşteri asistanı uygulamasının henüz yeni bir hizmet olması nedeniyle araştırmada ağızdan ağıza iletişim etkisi de ölçülmüş olup, müşterilerin bu hizmete yönelik duydukları güven ve sadakatin ağızdan ağıza iletişim üzerinde etkisi olduğu ortaya konmuştur. Bununla birlikte Türkiye’de bankacılık alanında sanal müşteri asistanları aracılığı ile sunulan hizmetin müşteri deneyimi boyutunu araştıran uygulama içerikli çalışmaya yapılmamış olması bu araştırmanın özgünlüğünü ortaya koymaktadır.
