Abstract: | The purpose of the study was to determine the effects of equity and outcomes in customer complaint situations. The study utilized a 2 multiplied by 2 within-subject design with equity (inequity, equity) and outcomes (low, high) as the independent variables. The dependent variables were perceived equity, behavioral intentions, resentment, and guilt. Subjects were 128 students from a large western university. Implications for customer complaint handling practices were discussed. |
