Abstract

Research on customer participation in service recovery is surging, yet empirical examinations provide mixed results. A meta-analysis of 30 independent samples reported in 21 studies (N = 7872) shows that the effect sizes for the relationships between customer participation in service recovery and customer outcomes are rather weak. We also find that customer participation in service recovery has an indirect effect on satisfaction with service recovery via distributive justice and procedural justice, but not via interactional justice. Conversely, customer participation in service recovery has an indirect effect on overall satisfaction via distributive justice and interactional justice, but not via procedural justice. Finally, the effectiveness of customer participation in service recovery is stronger when customers participate in the outcome of the recovery and for customers with an Eastern cultural background, but weaker when additional compensation is offered and in online settings.

1
Multilevel meta-regressions often suffer from multicollinearity (e.g., Pick and Eisend 2016). Unfortunately, multilevel models do not offer a direct diagnostic for multicollinearity. Similar to Pick and Eisend (2016), we applied the variables in a linear regression model. The variance inflation factors (maximum VIF = 3.0) fall below the recommended threshold, suggesting that multicollinearity is not an issue.
 
2
We also ran a more parsimonious model, in which we used one intercept rather than the set of dependent variable-specific intercepts at level 1. The model fit did not change significantly (∆χ2(7) = 3.511, p > .05). The results for the moderators did not vary substantially.
 
3
Additional tests show that the strength of this effect does not depend on the nature of the compensation, that is, whether additional monetary compensation or psychological compensation (i.e., an apology) is offered.
