Abstract

The retail service becomes distinctive when it is noticed by the customer, thus, adding up in his experience. The execution of the service actually relies on the employees who perform the assistance to this customer. Therefore, this study aims at analyzing the orientation to service (OS) of the employees who perform customers’ assistance and, then, testing the influence of the OS upon the quality of retail service perceived and the customer’s experience. Hence a survey was carried out in physical stores (offline), where the OS was measured through employees evaluation (n=100), also the quality perceived and the experience from the customer’s point of view (n=1000). The adopted statistic technique were: Structural Equation Modeling. Results showed a nonsignificant influence of employee service orientation on customers experience and quality of service perceived.
