    The Impact of Brand Trust and Mood on Consumer Complaining Behavior
    (2020) Tosun, Petek
    Managing consumer complaints is essential in the competitive business environment. Various personal or situational factors can influence consumer complaining behavior. Marketing managers must understand these factors well to understand their customers and manage their complaints. A customer’s affective state or mood can influence his or her complaining behavior since affective states interact with cognition in shaping consumer behavior. Besides, a consumer’s trust regarding a brand is closely related to his or her expectations in the consumption situation and influences complaining behavior. In this context, the purpose of this study is to examine the impact of consumer mood and brand trust on consumer complaining behavior. An online survey was distributed by convenience sampling method in Istanbul between 17 October – 3 November 2020. Fifty-nine individuals with a mean age of 41 participated in the survey. The participants answered questions about their mood, brand trust towards the bank they use most frequently, and then read a service failure scenario regarding the bank’s branch services. After answering questions about their satisfaction level with the service explained in the text, they responded to questions about their complaining behavior estimates. In alignment with the service failure scenario, the participants’ satisfaction level has become approximately 1.6 over 5, indicating dissatisfaction, as expected. Findings were analyzed in SPSS. The scales were reliable with the following Cronbach’s alpha levels; 0.867 for the brand trust scale, 0.958 for the mood scale, and 0.729 for the consumer complaining behavior scale. The normality tests showed that the dependent variable, consumer complaining behavior, was normally distributed (Shapiro-Wilk test, p:0.24, skewness: -0.189, kurtosis: -0.010). The regression analysis showed that mood (standardized beta: -0.272, p=0.024) and brand trust (standardized beta: -0.288, p=0.002) had a significant negative effect on consumer complaining behavior. Two other variables were also controlled; the frequency of doing banking transactions and the number of banks that are actively used, but the analysis showed that they did not have a significant effect on consumer complaining behavior. Besides, ANOVA results showed that consumer complaining behavior did not differ across participants’ education level and preferred banking channels such as the internet or mobile banking. This study has shown that a positive mood and bank trust reduced consumers’ intentions to complain in a service failure situation. The primary managerial implication of this study is that marketing programs, personal selling efforts, and customer relationship management must focus on building and maintaining trust and commitment between their brand and customers since brand trust decreases negative word-of-mouth and reduces CCB intentions in case of a service failure. Besides, service providers must try to create a positive-mood-inducing atmosphere to decrease customer complaints. The findings support the commitment and trust model of relationship marketing (Morgan and Hunt, 1994). Future studies can employ more representative samples to reach more generalizable results. Researchers can test the findings and make comparisons across different service sectors. Further studies can also include brand forgiveness and brand personality concepts in their research models.

    Customer Relationship Management in the Covid-19 Outbreak From a Salesperson Perspective
    (2020) Tosun, Petek
    The new coronavirus disease (Covid-19) has led to an unpredictable change in business and social life. Many institutions shifted to remote working to reduce the possibility of contagion in the workplace. Banks, which are among the major institutions in business life, have adopted remote working and social distancing rules in their branches and other workspaces. This change has inevitably influenced salespeople’s relationships with their customers since the ways of interacting and communicating have changed dramatically. The purpose of this study is to explore the impact of flexible and remote working during the Covid-19 pandemic on customer relationship management (CRM) in retail banking. A survey was conducted on customer relationship managers, branch managers, and other sales personnel regarding their self-assessment of CRM and sales performance during the remote working conditions in the Covid-19 outbreak. The findings have shown that the outbreak period has improved salespeople’s relationships with their customers. Besides, sales performance was positively influenced by CRM. CRM and sales performance did not change significantly depending on the size of the bank’s branch network or the salesperson’s total work experience. 18% and 16% of the salespeople found themselves important and safe, as employees of banks during the outbreak, respectively. However, 51% of the participants stated that working in the banking sector in the outbreak period was hard and anxious. While 16% of the participants thought that it is possible to work from home, only 4% stated that face-to-face communication is required. This study is timely research that has focused on the impact of the Covid-19 outbreak on CRM in banking and may constitute a proper base for future studies that will examine the impact of the pandemic deeper.

    Brand Trust for Digital-Only Bank Brands: Consumer Insights From an Emerging Market
    (ATLAS, 2020) Tosun, Petek
    Financial services are increasingly evolving and moving towards digital service models. New technologies and the rapid diffusion of the internet are introducing new business models in the banking industry, by providing many alternatives for reaching and interacting with customers. One of the new banking business models is digital-only banking. Digital-only bank brands are servicing in digital platforms without providing any traditional branch services. However, in many countries, banks are still operating within conventional service models, so some changes in laws and regulations may be required to provide digital-only banking services. Besides such structural and institutional requirements, positive consumer attitudes toward working with digital-only brands are prerequisites for any brand to be successful in the highly competitive financial services market. Positive consumer attitudes are especially important in the digital- only banking context since preferring a bank brand with a large network of established branches is still essential for building brand trust for many customers. Therefore, financial services institutions need to have a deep understanding of consumer perceptions and the antecedents of brand trust regarding digital-only banking. This study aims to explore consumer motives and elements of building customer trust for a digital-only banking brand in an emerging market context. Consumer insights were obtained as a result of a pilot study, which included preliminary interviews with retail banking customers. The interviews have shown that trust is the core factor for bank preference. Digital-only brands have the risk of being perceived as untrustworthy. Positive word-of-mouth, clear procedures, reliable terms and conditions, having responsive and effective customer services teams, and solving customer complaints fast are stated as important points to build brand trust for digital-only brands. This exploratory study may provide a basis for future empirical studies. The findings will be beneficial for the policy- makers, marketing managers of financial services institutions, and researchers who want to understand customer expectations.

    Bu çalışmanın amacı, bireysel bankacılık hizmetlerinde kurumsal marka imajı ve marka güveninin bir bankadan hizmet alma niyeti üzerindeki etkisini incelemektir. Müşterilerin bankaya varlık emanet ettikleri yatırım hesapları ile bankadan varlık ödünç aldıkları ih- tiyaç kredisi arasında alınan hizmetin değerlendirilmesi sırasında tüketici hizmete fark- lı noktalardan baktığından, bankacılık ürünleri arasında karşılaştırma da yapılmıştır. Bu çalışmanın kavramsal modeli, Gerekçeli Eylem Teorisi’ne dayandırılmış ve davranışsal niyeti etkileyen değişkenlere marka güveni ve kurumsal marka imajı eklenerek model ge- nişletilmiştir. Kantitatif araştırma yöntemi kapsamında yapılan regresyon analizlerinin so- nucunda, kurumsal marka imajı ile marka güveni kavramlarının, tutum değişkeni aracılığı ile bankacılık ürünü satın alma niyetini pozitif yönde etkilediği görülmüştür. Kurumsal marka imajı, bankacılık ürünlerinin ana kategorileri olan bireysel kredi ürünleri, yatırım ürünleri, kartlar ve dağıtım kanallarını kullanma niyeti üzerinde önemli etkiye sahiptir. Araştırma sonucunda, Gerekçeli Eylem Teorisi, finansal hizmetler alanında marka güveni ve kurumsal marka imajı kavramları ile genişletilerek, finansal hizmetler alanında yapılacak çalışmalar için araştırmacılara bir model önerilmiştir.
