Abstract

Customer satisfaction is viewed as an end rather than a means, as far as organizational goals are concerned. This is because ensuring customer satisfaction will automatically end up with achievement of organizational objectives. Many management writers consider service quality as the most important factor determining customer satisfaction. This research study attempts to find out the impact of the quality of service on the satisfaction level of customers in the public sector General Insurance companies in Cochin. The required data is collected from the customers of these companies in Cochin. The study reveals that the employee service quality of public sector General Insurance companies in Cochin has a significant positive impact on customer satisfaction. The study recommends improvement in quality of service in organizations to ensure higher level of satisfaction among customers.

Keywords: Customer satisfaction, organizational goals, Public Sector General Insurance, service quality
