Modelo SERVQUAL para evaluar la calidad del servicio en comercios minoristas de Santo Domingo, Ecuador
Resumen
Esta investigación analiza la calidad de los servicios ofrecidos por comerciantes minoristas en la “Peatonal 3 de Julio”, una de las bahías comerciales más relevantes de Ecuador. Justificado por la importancia del comercio minorista en la economía local y su capacidad para satisfacer necesidades cotidianas, el estudio se enfoca en evaluar diversos aspectos tangibles e intangibles de la calidad de servicio. El objetivo consiste en determinar los efectos de la tangibilidad y la seguridad en la calidad percibida del servicio y, a su vez, en la satisfacción del cliente. Se empleó el modelo SERVQUAL y una metodología cuantitativa basada en encuestas a 1.037 clientes, analizando las respuestas mediante un Modelo de Ecuaciones Estructurales. Los principales hallazgos revelan que la tangibilidad y la seguridad tienen efectos directos significativos sobre la calidad del servicio, la cual a su vez influye directamente en la satisfacción del cliente. La tangibilidad y la seguridad presentan efectos indirectos en la satisfacción, mediadas por la calidad del servicio. Se concluye que mejorar los aspectos tangibles y de seguridad en esta bahía comercial contribuiría a una percepción de mayor calidad y satisfacción del cliente, promoviendo así una experiencia de compra integral y una mayor lealtad del cliente.
