What is the Main Objective?
---------------------------------------------------------------------
The objective of this article - Servicescapes: The Impact of Physical Surroundings on Customers and Employees- is to integrate theories and empirical findings from diverse disciplines into a framework that describes how to build environment, or what is referred to here as the "servicescape," affects both consumers and employees in service organizations.
Firstly, a typology of service organizations is presented that illuminates important variations in form and usage of the servicescape.
Secondly a conceptual framework is offered for explaining environment-user relationships in service organizations, and specific research propositions are advanced. The framework is anchored in the environmental psychology research tradition and also draws together relevant literature in marketing, organizational behavior, human factors/ergonomics, and architecture.
Finally, the linkages between the service organization typology and the framework are examined, and key managerial and research implications are discussed.
The mainly theme and objective are discussed by the following items step by step:
1. A Typology of Servicescapes and Conceptual Framework
2. Behaviors in the Servicescape- Individual Behaviors, Social Interactions, Service Topology and Behavior
3. Internal Responses to the Servicescapape- Environment and Cognition, Environment and Emotion, Environment and Physiology
4. Service Typology and Internal Responses and Response Moderators
5. Dimensions of the Servicescape- Ambient Conditions, Spatial Layout and Functionality, Signs, Symbols, and Artifacts, Service Typology and Environmental Dimensions
6. Managerial Implications and Research Implications
