ABSTRACT

This study attempts to identify the factors of customer-to-customer interaction within airline services, specifically the relationship between customer-to- customer interaction and customer satisfaction. From this relationship, the moderating effect of flight attendants’ role performance is examined. This empirical study collected relevant data through a survey of local customers that experienced overseas airline services within one year. As a result, customer-to-customer interaction was broken down into four behavioral factors: externally unpleasant, lacking manners in shared space, loudness, and service complaint behavior. Within these factors, lacking manners in a shared space and loudness showed a negative influence on customer satisfaction, whereas service complaint behavior showed a positive influence on customer satisfaction. Lastly, the role of performance of the flight attendant was divided into two factors: problem solving ability and attitude towards customers. Both factors proved the moderating effect between customer-to-customer interaction and customer satisfaction. The study results address academic and practical implications.
