In a study with respondents from 240 automotive dealerships, composite culture scores were created from dealerships with below 50% customer satisfaction and dealerships with over 80% customer satisfaction. Findings show that the dealerships with higher satisfied customer satisfaction scores also had higher culture scores relative to the dealerships with lower customer satisfaction. Customer Focus and Coordination & Integration had the highest correlations with customer satisfaction scores. These results indicate that it is important for employees to understand the needs of the customer, and share a common responsibility toward customer service to increase customer satisfaction. Notes: Customer satisfaction scores were from a national customer satisfaction survey administered by an independent research firm.
