Business need to attract and establish a customer market and would need to retain it through satisfaction. That is the key to its business performance (Johnson et al. 2000). In order to attain this goal, a company should have a high satisfaction rate from its clients. The increasing competition, whether for profit and non profit purposes, is forcing the business sectors to pay much and more attention to satisfying customers (Management library, 2008). Indian banking sector have undergone intense competition and a change in customers’ expectations over the last few years (Cheng et al., 1996). Intense competition and endlessly evolving customer demands have led Indian banks to identify drivers of customer satisfaction and loyalty (Lanka et al., 2009).
Customer satisfaction is the key for survival in the market. Cost of acquiring a new customer is much more than the cost of retaining the customers. Customers are giving top priority, and according to their expectation, new product and services are being developed to satisfy them with special focus on service quality. New marketing concept and strategies are paying greater attention to identifying customer need and expectation (Morgan, 1989), and offering high service quality to customers. The interest is largely driven by the realization that high service quality results in customer satisfaction and loyalty with the product or service, greater willingness to recommend someone else, reduction in complaints and improved customer retention (Zeithaml et al., 1996). There is a significant difference in customer and job satisfaction in both private and public sector.
