Title The effects of recovery service on customer satisfaction leading to switch intention and word-of-mouth about VietJet Air 2. Abstract Service failures are all too common these days, no matter how good you are, and recovering from them is a difficulty that many airlines face. If service faults are not resolved swiftly, revenue and customers may be lost. With low-cost airlines like VietJet Air, service errors often occur, but it is not focused on recovering.
Therefore, this study has taken the context of the aviation industry in Vietnam, specifically VietJet Air. This study aims to understand the influence of key service recovery strategies including offering apology and compensation on customer satisfaction. From there, find out the relationship between customer satisfaction and intention to switch and WOM about VietJet Air. This study uses the main method of quantitative research with a sample of 260.
The research subjects are VietJet Air’s passengers who have ever faced any service failure such as flight delay, flight cancellation, lost baggage, and some other problems. Research results supported all the proposed theories in this article. In particular, the service recovery campaign including apology and compensation affects customer satisfaction, which is an important contribution in practical application. Customers who are hurt and generate negative feelings when experiencing service failures, they will need sincere apologies and adequate compensation.
In addition, the positive influence of customer satisfaction on conversion intention was also supported in this study. When a passenger is satisfied with an airline, their intention to use another airline is unlikely to occur, a and positive word of mouth about the airline will also increase. Nevertheless, this research also had some limitation, which was highlighted in the body research. Keywords Service recovery, customer satisfaction, switching intention, WOM, VietJet Air.
Tiêu đề Tác động của phục hồi dịch vụ đến sự hài lòng của khách hàng dẫn đến chuyển đổi ý định và truyền miệng về VietJet Air. Abstract Những sự cố về dịch vụ ngày nay đã trở nên quá phổ biến, cho dù chúng ta có giỏi đến đâu, và việc khắc phục chúng là một khó khăn mà nhiều hãng hàng không phải đối mặt. Nếu các lỗi dịch vụ không được giải quyết nhanh chóng, doanh thu và khách hàng có thể bị mất. Với các hãng hàng không giá rẻ như VietJet Air thường sẽ xảy ra lỗi dịch vụ nhưng lại không được chú trọng khắc phục.
Vì vậy, nghiên cứu này đã lấy bối cảnh của ngành hàng không Việt Nam, cụ thể là VietJet Air. Nghiên cứu này nhằm mục đích tìm hiểu ảnh hưởng của các chiến lược khôi phục dịch vụ chính bao gồm đưa ra lời xin lỗi và bồi thường có tác động như thế nào đối với sự hài lòng của khách hàng. Từ đó, tìm ra mối quan hệ giữa sự hài lòng của khách hàng và ý định chuyển đổi và WOM về VietJet Air. Nghiên cứu này sử dụng phương pháp chính là nghiên cứu định lượng với mẫu là 260.
Đối tượng nghiên cứu là những hành khách của VietJet Air đã từng gặp sự cố dịch vụ như chậm chuyến, hủy chuyến, thất lạc hành lý, và một số vấn đề khác. Kết quả nghiên cứu đã chấp nhận tất cả các lý thuyết được đề xuất trong bài nghiên cứu này. Đặc biệt, chiến dịch khôi phục dịch vụ bao gồm xin lỗi và bồi thường ảnh hưởng đến sự hài lòng của khách hàng, là một đóng góp quan trọng trong việc áp dụng thực tế. Những khách hàng bị tổn thương và nảy sinh cảm giác tiêu cực khi gặp sự cố dịch vụ, họ sẽ cần lời xin lỗi chân thành và đền bù thỏa đáng.
Ngoài ra, ảnh hưởng tích cực của sự hài lòng của khách hàng đến ý định chuyển đổi cũng được chỉ ra trong nghiên cứu này. Khi một hành khách hài lòng với một hãng hàng không, ý định sử dụng hãng hàng không khác của họ sẽ khó xảy ra, sự truyền miệng tích cực về hãng hàng không đó cũng sẽ tăng lên. Tuy nhiên, nghiên cứu này cũng có một số hạn chế, điều này đã được nhấn mạnh trong bài nghiên cứu chi tiết dưới đây. Keywords Khôi phục dịch vụ, sự hài lòng của khách hàng, ý định chuyển đổi, truyền miệng, VietJet Air.

Nguyen et al. Quoc et al. Proposal research model .1 Research background As a result of the globalization trend, domestic businesses are finding it more difficult to compete. Businesses must preserve and increase their power in order to take advantage of other businesses and rivals, as well as maintain their position, in order to sustain and grow the marketplace.
As a result, successful entrepreneurs have a thorough understanding of their clients and rivals. Businesses would like to achieve high levels of consumer satisfaction and happiness in order to promote brand loyalty and encourage others to do the same (Famiyeh et al. When service failure occurs, the dissatisfaction of the customer may have an impact on his subsequent consumption behavior (Shandong, 2018).
