Kurzfassung/Abstract
The service–profit chain has served as a prominent guidepost for service managers and researchers alike. This meta-analysis provides the first comprehensive test of it, showing that all the links proposed in the service–profit chain (SPC) appear statistically significant and substantial. However, the effect sizes vary considerably, partly according to the type of service provided. Meta-analytic structural equation models show that internal service quality translates into service performance through various mechanisms, beyond employee satisfaction, and highlight the importance of the service encounter and customer relationship characteristics for customer responses. The findings indicate the need to integrate complementary paths in the SPC framework and also challenge the implicit SPC rationale that firms should always maximize employee satisfaction and external service quality to optimize firm performance.
