Scales for Measuring Mobile Service Quality (M-SQ): A Literature Review and Identification of Key Dimensions

Abstract

Mobile service quality (m-SQ) is vital to manage the competitiveness of a company in the mobile business market. Existing studies on m-SQ share key characteristics of m-service in general, such as mobility and context awareness. A set of common m-SQ dimensions that reflects such key characteristics would serve as the theoretical backbone of m-SQ. This research aims to conduct a comprehensive review of existing studies on m-SQ scales and identify key dimensions of m-SQ to understand the essence of m-SQ scales. A total of 45 existing studies on m-SQ scales were reviewed and seven key dimensions of m-SQ scales were identified. This study is expected to serve as a solid knowledge-base for conducting new investigations on m-SQ scale development as well as help practitioners utilise m-SQ scales.
