    kullanılmaktadır.Bubağlamda,çalışmanın temelkonusubankacılıkhizmetlerininkalitesinindeğerlendirilmesidir.

    Araştırmanın Yöntemi: Hizmet kalitesinin ölçümünde çeşitli yöntemlerkullanılmaktadır. Bu yöntemler içinde en sık ve yaygın kullanılanı servqualyöntemidir. Hizmet kalitesinin değerlendirilmesinde, hizmet kalitesini oluşturanbeş boyut fiziksel özellikler, güvenilirlik, heveslilik, güven ve empati olarak elealınmıştır. Servqual ölçeğinde yer alan ifadeler kapsamında oluşturulan anketformu,bankadahizmetalanmüşterilereuygulanmıştır.EldeedilenverilerSPSS16programındaanalizedilmişvebulgulardeğerlendirilmiştir.

    Araştırmanın Bulguları: Katılımcılar İzmir ilinde, özel bir bankanınşubesindeişlemyapmaküzeregelmişkişilerdir.Genelolarak,anketicevaplayanlarınbüyük bir kısmı erkek, 26-30 yaş grubunda, lisans mezunu, 1001-2500 geliraralığında,işçivememurkişilerdenoluşmaktadır.

    Sonuç: bankanın hizmet kalitesinin beklenen düzeyde olmadığınıgöstermektedir. Boyutlar kendi içinde karşılaştırıldığında, müşteriler en çokbankanınfizikiözellikleriniolumluolarakalgılamaktaancakbankanınkendileriileempatikuramadığınıdüşünmektedir.

    4. CONCLUSION AND RECOMMENDATIONSToday the concept of service has broadened and the intense competitive

    environmentbetweenorganizationsmakeservicetobegivenmorequalified. Duetothedevelopmentoftheconceptofservice,qualityconcepthasalsobecomemoreimportant forbusinesses. Comparedwithmanufacturingfirms, servicebusinessesshouldpaymoreattentiontoquality.

    Ensuring and improving service quality is an important strategy forbusinesses to have competitive advantage.This strategyof the business providespositive perception of corporate image and prestige, increase profitability, createcustomersatisfactionandcustomerloyaltyinthelong-term.

    Measurement of service quality is more difficult for services because ofdistinctivefeaturesfromgoods.Manymethodsandmodelshaveimprovedforthemeasurementofservicequality.Fromthesemodels,Servqualisthemostknownandwidelyusedmethod.

    For each of the phrase that takes place in Servqual scale, customers’expectations values exceed perception. This situation shows that bank’s servicequalitylevelislowerthanexpectedlevel.Thebank’sservicescanmeetcustomers’expectations for physical features and reliability dimensions while bank cannot meet he customers’ expectations exactly for responsiveness, confidence andempathydimensions.Whenthedimensionsarecomparedwitheachother,customersperceivephysicalappearanceofbankpositivebutcustomersthinkthatbankcannotempathize.

Customers’ confidence to employees isvaluableintermsofinvestmenttrust.Forthisreasonbanksshouldeducateemployeescontinuously.Banksshould trainemployees incertainperiodsandshould informthem about the new investment instruments.
