ABSTRACT

Customer experience is a dominant marketing concept and is regarded as a key determinant of success, yet there is a lack of a widely adopted operationalization of the construct. In this study, we aim to ‘aggregate’ validated CX-related scales to develop a context-independent measure of CX. ‘Aggregating’ in this paper is a novel approach and refers to deriving dimensions and items from available CX-related scales identified through a systematic literature. 315 items from 23 scales were thus compiled and face validated to reach a final item pool consisting of 47 items and 10 dimensions. The item pool is empirically tested in a field study (n=625) for psychometric evaluation and further item reduction. The reduced scale consists of 40 items and potentially 10 dimensions: hedonic, affective, social experience, community, employee characteristics, empathy, complaint handling, learning, process experience and overall evaluation.
