for customers, to further improve the quality of the Bank's customer care services.

The quality of customer care service before, during and after the transaction includes the following groups of factors:

Reliability: Relates to the ability to perform a service as expected reliably, accurately, and completely.

Tangible facilities: Related to facilities, equipment, appearance, decoration

employee outerwear

Responsiveness: Willingness to provide prompt, prompt service and enthusiastic customer assistance.

Service capacity: Related to staff's level of knowledge, polite attitude

polite and able to convey to customers.

Empathy level: Caring and individualized attention

to customers

1.2 Variables, research model hypotheses.

- For a long time, researchers have tried to define and measure service quality. This group of authors initiated and used qualitative and quantitative research to build and test a scale of service quality components (called the SERVQUAL scale). The SERVQUAL scale has been adjusted and tested in many different types of services.

The SERVQUAL scale measures perceptions of service through five service quality components, including:

1. Reliability: Demonstrates the ability to perform services consistently and accurately.

first time deadline

2. Responsiveness: Shows the willingness of the service staff

to provide timely service to customers.

3. Service capacity (assurance): Demonstrates professional qualifications and polite, enthusiastic service to customers.

4. Empathy: Showing care and concern for each individual.

client.

5. Tangibles: Expressed through appearance and clothing of

service staff, equipment to perform the service.

The scale consists of 2 parts, each part has 22 statements. The first part aims to determine customers' expectations for the type of service of the business in general. That is, regardless of any specific business, the interviewees indicate their level of desire for that service. The second part aims to determine customers' perceptions of the service performance of the surveyed business. That is, based on the specific service of the surveyed business to evaluate. The research results aim to identify the gaps between customers' perceptions of the quality of service performed by the business and customers' expectations for that service quality. Specifically, according to the SERVQUAL model, service quality is determined as follows:

Service Quality = Perception – Expected Value

Parasuraman & ctg (1991) asserted that SERVQUAL is a complete scale of service quality, achieving value and reliability and can be applied to all different types of services. However, each specific type of service has its own characteristics. Many researchers have also tested this scale with many types of services as well as in many different countries. The results show that the components of service quality are not the same in each service industry and each different market. Specifically, Mehta & ctg (2000), in a study in Singapore, concluded that supermarket service quality includes only two components: tangibles and service staff. Nguyen & ctg (2003) tested SERVQUAL for the outdoor entertainment market in Ho Chi Minh City and found that this service quality includes four components: reliability, staff service ability, empathy and tangibles. To conclude, due to the characteristics of each type of service, researchers need to adjust the SERVQUAL scale for each specific study.

The use of quality and gap models as a basis for assessing service quality is also controversial (Carmen, 1990; Babakus & Boller, 1992; Cronin & Taylor, 1992). Cronin & Taylor, 1992 with the SERVPERE model, argued that the level of customer perception of the service performance of the business best reflects the quality of service. According to model C: Service quality = Level of perception.

This conclusion has been agreed by other authors such as Lee et al. (2000), Brady et al. (2002 ). The SERVPERE scale also uses 22 statements similar to the customer perception question in the SERVQUAL model, omitting the expectation part. For the convenience of research in a short period of time, I chose the SERVPERE model as the research model for this topic.
