服务失败情景下智能客服自嘲式沟通对用户宽容意愿的影响研究
A Study on the Impact of Self-Deprecating Communication by AI Customer Service on User Forgiveness in Service Failure Scenarios
摘要: 智能客服凭借自身优势已被应用于许多服务场景中,但由于技术水平限制,仍存在诸多问题,无法为用户提供满意的交互体验,导致服务失败。为弥补用户损失,挽救品牌形象,企业需进行服务补救。本研究探讨在服务失败情景下,智能客服能否通过自嘲式沟通提升用户宽容意愿,以及相应作用机制和边界条件。研究发现:智能客服自嘲式沟通能够提升用户的宽容意愿,感知真诚在其中起到中介作用,相比于结果失败,在过程失败情景下,自嘲式沟通提升作用更显著,且感知真诚中介作用更强。
Abstract: Leveraging their inherent advantages, AI customer service agents have been deployed across numerous service scenarios. However, due to technological limitations, various issues persist, preventing them from delivering satisfactory interactive experiences for users and consequently leading to service failures. To compensate for user losses and salvage brand image, companies need to implement service recovery. This study investigates whether AI customer service can enhance user forgiveness through self-deprecating communication in service failure scenarios, along with the underlying mechanisms and boundary conditions. The findings reveal that self-deprecating communication by AI customer service can increase user forgiveness, with perceived sincerity mediating this relationship. Furthermore, compared to outcome failures, the enhancing effect of self-deprecating communication is more pronounced in process failure scenarios, and the mediating effect of perceived sincerity is stronger.
