EXTENDED CONCEPTUALIZATION OF EXPECTATION While the SERVQUAL instrument h<strong>as</strong> been productively used for me<strong>as</strong>uring service quality in many studies - e.g., public recreation programs (Cromp<strong>to</strong>n <strong>and</strong> Mackay, 1989), hospitals, health care or medical care settings (Babakus <strong>and</strong> Mangold, 1992; Steffen, 1992), US Postal Service (Kilkenny, 1992), higher education (Boulding, Kalra, Staelin <strong>and</strong> Zeithaml, 1993; Ford, Josep <strong>and</strong> Joseph, 1993), <strong>and</strong> the Air National Guard (Orwig, 1994)-it h<strong>as</strong> also raised, questions about the interpretation <strong>and</strong> operationalization of expectations (e.g., Te<strong>as</strong>. 1994, 1993). In response <strong>to</strong> that, their later work on the nature of expectation (Par<strong>as</strong>uraman, et. al., in different order of names, 1994a, 1994b, 1994c, <strong>and</strong> 1993) resulted in the conceptualization <strong>and</strong> operationalization of expectation in<strong>to</strong> two levels: Desired Service - the service level cus<strong>to</strong>mers believe organizations can <strong>and</strong> should deliver; <strong>and</strong>, Adequate Service - the minimum service level cus<strong>to</strong>mers consider acceptable. The comparison of perception <strong>to</strong> desired service level <strong>and</strong> adequate service level generate a "Me<strong>as</strong>ure of Service Superiority" (MSS or perceived service relative <strong>to</strong> desired service) <strong>and</strong> a "Me<strong>as</strong>ure of Service Adequacy" (MSA or perceive service relative <strong>to</strong> adequate service) respectively. Therefore, for the original gap 5, the comparison between desired service <strong>and</strong> perceived service is the perceived service superiority gap; Par<strong>as</strong>uraman, et. al. (1994) call this perceived service quality (PSQ) Gap 5A. On the other h<strong>and</strong>, the comparison between adequate service <strong>and</strong> perceived service is the perceived adequacy gap; they call this PSQ Gap 5B. The higher the perceived service relative <strong>to</strong> desired service level, the higher the Perceived Service Superiority; <strong>and</strong> accordingly for adequate service level. These two service quality <strong>as</strong>sessments, therefore, replace the single Gap 5 <strong>and</strong> 1 in the Gaps model (Zeithaml, et. al., 1993). Figure 2 shows gap 5 in its new form. Separating adequate service <strong>and</strong> desired service levels is the "zone of <strong>to</strong>lerance" (ZoT) (Par<strong>as</strong>uraman et. al., 1994a, 1994b, 1994c; Zeithalm et. al., 1993). The service performance is considered satisfac<strong>to</strong>ry (<strong>to</strong>lerated), but not superior, if the perceived service score lies in between the desired service score <strong>and</strong> adequate service score. Stamatis (1996:165) suggested that, in the absence of competition, achieving 98
