Executive Summary
Now the banks constitute the core of the country’s organized financial system in Bangladesh.
Banks are now-a-days the most trusted financial organizations to the people all over the
world and they satisfied their customer by offering Different banking services. Ensuring the
maximum level of customer satisfaction is an aim for each financial institution. As a result
the customer expectations about the service quality of Janata Bank always remain medium. I
got the opportunity of getting important information from the employees of this bank that
help me to prepare this project paper.
Janata Bank Limited, a leading commercial bank with 867 outlets strategically located in
almost all the commercial areas throughout Bangladesh, overseas Exchange Houses and
hundreds of overseas Correspondents, came into being as a Public Limited Company on May
17, 2007 with a view to take over the business, assets, liabilities, rights and obligations of the
Janata Bank which emerged as a nationalized commercial bank in 1972 immediately after the
emergence of Bangladesh as an independent state.
The objective of the report is to assess the level of importance, the customer of Janata Bank
put across various service attributes and also to determine how well Janata Bank is satisfying
the customer of those service grounds and different service quality dimensions. The survey is
conducted on 100 respondents (sample) those represent the total general customers segment.
Customer had to mark the level of importance that they perceive about a particular service
attribute’s quality. The survey data is then analyzed with the help of statistical tools like
weighted average mean and simple arithmetic mean.
The survey outcome is not highly satisfactory. Customers are highly dissatisfied with the
service quality of ATM’s because of the less number of ATM’s. By increasing the numbers
of ATM’s, constructing the new branches, employees training, introducing locker service,
personalize caring, implementing charges Janata Bank can improve its service quality. Janata
Bank should attract the dissatisfied customer in order to bring them to positive side of the
road strong relationship with the customers can be maintained.

Exploratory Research
Exploratory research is a type of research conducted for a problem that has not been clearly
defined. Exploratory research helps determine the best research design, data collection
method and selection of subjects. It should draw definitive conclusions only with extreme
caution. Given its fundamental nature, exploratory research often concludes that a
perceived problem does not actually exist.
The entire questionnaire is prepared based on the SERVQUAL scale. There are five service
quality dimensions Reliability, Responsiveness, Assurance, Empathy and Tangibles. I also
designed a structure and unstructured questionnaire. This structured questionnaire was the
major tools of this research project. 21 questions are selected which focus this 5
dimensions.

Questionnaire survey: I also designed a structure and unstructured questionnaire for the
customers of Janata Bank. This structured questionnaire was the major tools of this research
project.
1. Method
For the purpose of getting better result, I adopeted non probabilistic purposive sampling
technique during the survey of these project where customers were given copies of the
questionnaire and were asked to fill them. I gave continuous support to the customers for
any problems that they faced while filling up questionnaire so that the validity of the
questionnaire increases. As the simple random sampling is easily understood and results are
assessable it is best suited for my study.

2.1 Satisfaction
Definition 1: Satisfaction means the contentment one feels when one has fulfilled a desire,
need or expectations.
Rather than a single definition, I think it is appropriate to provide several definitions because
a single definition gives the impression that there can be only one, which is certainly not
true.

Expressed
Implied
Expressed: Customer Expectations are those requirements that are written down n the
contract and agreed upon by both parties for example, product specifications and delivery
requirements. Supplier’s performance against these requirements is most of the items
directly measurable.
Implied: Customer Expectations are not written or spoken but are the ones the customer
would ‘expect’ the supplier to meet nevertheless.
For example, a customer would expect the service representative who calls on him to be
knowledgeable and competent to solve a problem on the spot.
There are many reasons why customer expectations are likely to change overtime. Process
improvements, advent of new technology, changes in customer’s priorities, improved
quality of service provided by competitors are just a few examples.

An Assessment of Customer Satisfaction of Janata Bank
Reliability is defined as the ability to perform the promised service dependably and
accurately. More specifically, it means that the company deliverers service provision,
problem resolution, and pricing according to their promises. In this way, firms can keep their
customers loyal to them. (Zeithaml, Bitner & Gremler 2009, 113.)
Responsiveness is the willingness to help customers and to provide prompt service. The
focus is weighted on how quickly and attentively companies are able to deal with customer
requests, questions, complaints, and problems. Companies must have customer’s point of
view to deliver service and handle requests in order to excel on this dimension. (Zeithaml,
Bitner & Gremler 2009, 114.)
Assurance is the knowledge and courtesy of employees and their ability to convey trust and
confidence. For high-risk service such as banking, insurance, medical, brokerage, and legal services,
this aspect tends to be particularly significant. Companies need to gain trust and confidence in ord er
to create trusting relationships with their customers. (Zeithaml, Bitner & Gremler 2009, 114.)
Empathy is the provision of caring individualized attention to customers. The core idea is to prove
customers that they are cared and understood through personalized or customized service, as they
are special and important for firms. Small firms are often able to reflect their personal knowledge of
customer requirements and preferences and build relationships with their customers so that small
firms tend to be more advantageous when competing with larger firms in this dimension. (Zeithaml,
Bitner & Gremler 2009, 114-115.)
This attribute demands customization service process. Aspects like individual attention,
understanding customer’s needs and interests were categorized in this section.
23
An Assessment of Customer Satisfaction of Janata Bank
All of those elements are equally important in order to obtain one hundred percent of quality and
have different influence on the final service quality. Customers use those five dimensions to organize
information about service quality in their minds. Depending on a situation, sometimes all the
dimensions are used, and at other times not. Although this model is found relevant for a variety of
service business and therefore widely used, some researchers suggest that cross-cultural aspect is
missing on those dimensions. Individuals from different backgrounds seek different experiences
from the same set of service and also perceive actual experiences differently. This has to be taken
into account when applying these dimensions. (Zeithaml, Bitner & Gremler 2009, 112.)

Previously, most money transfers were processed manually across Janata Bank’s
remittance centres due to which it would take up to four days for beneficiaries to
receive funds. Janata Bank wanted to offer their customers popular same day
services such as spot cash within minutes.
Janata Bank wanted to be able to communicate and collaborate information
accurately, rapidly and reliably among their 867 branches. They wanted to ensure
that the right information is delivered to the right branch at the right time using
advanced auto-routing features.
Some Janata Bank branches could expect up to 2,000 customers on certain days,
making it very difficult for their staff to serve them. Janata Bank wanted to empower
their staff to help customers as effectively as possible.
Janata Bank wanted to have a sophisticated money transfer management system
that could be easily used by their staff. They wanted the system to be user-friendly
so staff could rapidly learn how to use it, which in turn could save them time and
cost.

liabilities of some banks operating in former East Pakistan. CRISL, being a local rating

Most of the customers feel safe in transactions with Janata Bank. So that it is one of
the most vital or strong part for Janata Bank.
If banks are to improve their satisfaction loyalty ratings and differentiate themselves from
the competition, they need to understand what really drives satisfaction and loyalty. they
also need to know which areas have the greatest room for improvement. There is little point
in intervening resources on areas that are important but are performing well, or in areas
that there is much room for improvement but they are not important in driving satisfaction
and loyalty. Thus Janata Bank managers need to know what levers to push to increase these
measures of success.
One useful tool is to search for the most important attributes that allow analyzing those
areas that are important and have much room for improvements. In the following section
the most important attributes will be discussed.

services. Some other attributes, which were important to customers but not considered as
drivers of satisfaction are listed below:

important or less important or indifferent for the customers and were not considered by

customers across the various drivers of satisfaction. The results of the survey showed that
customers were satisfied only across the following drivers of satisfaction:

attributes. Again the customer also ranked some of the highly important factors as highly
dissatisfactory. These attributes thus damaged the overall satisfaction scores drastically.
Some such attributes are as follows:
Speed of Service
Locations of ATM’s
Most of the other drivers of satisfaction that were very important to customers showed
average satisfaction scores. This depicts that most of the customers are not very satisfied

This research has provided some interesting insight in to what kind of service the customers
give importance to and what quality service they get from Janata Bank Ltd. It is quite
obvious from the research that the customer requirements are not fully met and they are
very dissatisfied with some of the aspects of the bank. Again the research revealed that only
one third of customers were more or less satisfied with the service of the bank and more
