In the past, banking was concerned only with borrowings and lending activities.
But at present banking is catering entire requirement of individual customer and
is emerging as potential sector for the consistent growth of business. Customer
retention is of the top priority of the banks. All banks are surging ahead to
project themselves as the most preferred bank by customers as they are becoming
more sophisticated in their needs and are increasingly demanding higherstandard service. To them service means customer satisfaction, customer delight,
excellent service delivery and customer relationship etc. In recent years, a
number of private players and foreign banks have entered the Indian market and
made it more competitive. The survival and growth of a bank not only depends on
its ability to provide qualitative service to its customers but in building a long-
term mutually beneficial and trust worthy relationship with its customers. In the
present study, the researchers decide to undertake a research study with regard
to customers preference towards banking attributes.
KEYWORDS: customer preference, service quality, total score, ideal score &
least score.
INTRODUCTION
In this electronic era, the service sector has
been showing promising signs across the
globe. Competition and technological
advancement are the twin factors that have
brought about unimaginable changes in
customer services. India is also sailing in
accordance with current global trends. In
our country, the service sectors

contribution to the national economy is to
be perceived at the macro angle. Banks in
India are characterized by huge network of
branches supported by strong banking
system and their products and channel of
distribution capabilities can be matched
with those of the leading internationalbanks. Banks desiring to become global
must have carved a niche for themselves in
India and other well established markets,
says a report of consultancy major Ernest
and Young, as they would be major source
of revenue generators of the financial
system. External service quality, which
refers to the quality of service delivered to
the customers, has gained importance in
the light of increasing customers
estimations, and changing customer
preferences. External service qualityoffered to customers in generally referred
to as service quality. Providing high
quality service enhances customer
retention rates, helps to attract new
customers through positive word of mouth
advertising, increase productivity, leads to
higher market share, financial performance
and profitability. With the emergence of
new generation banks, introduction of
technology, competition and deregulation
etc., new dimensions to customer service
have been added. In the present scenario,
customers delight, has been a buzzword in
banking. The external and internal service
quality in banks is a compulsory
requirement for the survival of banks in
the industry.
OBJECTIVE OF THE STUDY
To study the customer satisfactionin banks under study
To identify the factors with regardto service quality
To analyze whether there is anydifference in attitude with regard to
service quality for different banks
To make comparative analysis ofcustomers satisfaction in various
banks.
To suggest appropriate steps forimprovement.
LIMITATIONS OF THE STUDY
The study is restricted to theselected branches of Odisha only.
The study is restricted to customersof AXIS Bank, UCO Bank and
Punjab National Bank only.
The sample is limited; it may notrepresent scenario of all the
customers preference.
The period of study conducted forthe period of 4 months i.e. May
2010 to August 2010.
REVIEW OF LITERATURE
In view of the fact that customer
satisfaction is indispensable in the banking
organization, many government and non-
government agencies as well as individual
academicians and practitioners undertook
various studies. Oliver (1980) expressed
their view about customer satisfaction that
customer satisfaction is a feeling or
attitude of a customer towards a product or
service after it has been used and is
generally described as the full meeting of
ones expectation. Codatte (1987) argued
that customer develops norms for product
experience and these, rather than
expectation from a brands performance,
determine the confirmation/
disconfirmation process. Westbrook(1991) has argued that in addition to the
cognitive components as both coexist and
make independent contribution to the
satisfaction judgments. Levesque (1996)
conducted a study to confirm and
reinforced idea that unsatisfactory

customer service leads to drop in customer
satisfaction and willingness to recommend
the service to a friend. This would in turn
lead to an increase in the rate of switching
by customers. East (1997) suggested that
customer satisfaction is a major outcome
of marketing activities whereby it servesas a link between the various stages of
customer buying behavior. If the
customers are satisfied with a particular
service offering after its use, then they are
likely to engage in repeat purchase and try
time extensions. Researchers like Jamal
(2002) and Campbell (2006) have
evaluated services of banks in term of
customer satisfaction parameters and ,
therefore, have made good contribution in
the field of research in the area. However,
human customer is a complex organism,always changing with changing times, the
preference and priorities also do not
remain static which change his/her
perception about the satisfaction or
dissatisfaction regarding the services he/
she gets from banks. Taking this into
consideration, the above studies lose their
relevance and there is need to conduct a
fresh study on the subject. It is against this
backdrop that the present study is
undertaken with a view to fill up this gap.
RESEARCH UNIVERSE AND
METHODOLOGY
With reference to the selection of the
research universe the state of Odisha has
been selected with specifications to the
compulsions of the geographical territory,
linguistic boundary, and administrative
settlement commonness. Odisha is an

per Indian census survey-2001) ,
population density 236 per Square
Kilometers, Sex Ratio 972 literacy rate of
63.61%. The state is comprising of 30
districts (Administrative Divisions) and 58

SAMPLING PLAN
In support to the objective of the researchthere is a primary research through
questionnaire administration method in the
field through stratified random sampling
method covering the state through

Employees should be giventraining to improve their attitude
Banks should arrange meetingswith their customers to promptness
in providing the services.
It is advisable for all the banksunder study to keep a separate
complaint-cum suggestion
box/book to enable customer to
offer suggestions and complaints.
The working hours of the banksmust be flexible as possible. The
operating hours of banks must be
extended depending upon the need
and desire of the customers.
Provision for separate inquirycounter at all the banks would be
very useful especially to the
illiterate. Efficient, knowledgeable,
courteous, competent and versatile
front line staff is the prime
requirement for all the banks
surveyed.
