Validación de la escala de necesidad de interacción social entre cliente y prestador de servicios

Validação da Escala de Necessidade de Interação Social entre Cliente e Prestador de Serviços

RESUMEN

Con la consolidación del sector de los servicios en la economía mundial, es preciso estudiar en mayor profundidad la relación entre cliente y prestador de servicios. Este trabajo analiza la validez y la fiabilidad de la escala de necesidad de interacción social entre empleados y clientes. Esta escala ha sido creada por Dabholkar (1996), a partir de las ideas de Langeard et al. (1981). Hay relativamente pocos estudios sobre esta escala, aunque este constructo debería ser tenido en cuenta en futuras investigaciones sobre la interacción de servicios. Este estudio se ha basado en una muestra de 819 estudiantes universitarios. Los resultados sugieren que la escala de necesidad de interacción social es un instrumento de medida breve, simple y fiable.

ABSTRACT

With the consolidation of the services sector in the global economy, we need to study further the relationship between customer and service provider. This paper analyzed the validity and reliability of the need for social interaction between customer and service provider. This scale has been made by Dabholkar (1996), from the ideas of Langeard et al. (1981). There are relatively few studies with this scale, therefore this construct should be taken into account in future research about service interaction. This study is based on a sample of 819 undergraduates. The results suggest that the Need of Social Interaction is a brief, simple and reliable scale.
