In the service industry, the recovery effort due to the service failure is very important topic to raise the dimension of customer satisfaction to a higher level. Thus, throughout the whole service industry in today, the effort to prepare the customer response manual according to the situation such as service failure or recover the situation of service failure through the continuous CS training are being made. However, we had a question 'whether the customers satisfied indeed through such service recovery effort? - That's the first step of this study. In other words, it is needed to judge correctly whether we misunderstand the fact that the workers in service sector avoided the service failure situation simply as the service recovery. If so, we need to identify what is needed and how it is needed in order to get the substantial results in the service recovery,
The purpose of this study is to analyze the effect that the authenticity in service recovery and the formation of relation belief with customers through this give to the result of service recovery. In addition, the purpose is to verify that when the relation belief is formed through the authenticity, it shows the excellent result in the service recovery efforts. In order to accomplish the purpose of this study, we found the potential variables such as positive emotion expression for customer service, disharmony of emotion, interpersonal attachment etc through the advanced study and utilized them as the independent variables to identify the conscious state of service provider. And we designated the authenticity and relation belief, service recovery result as dependent variables. We evaluated the effect that the independent variables give to the result of service recovery via the authenticity and relation belief using the structure equation model after establishing the 6 hypotheses. As a result of analysis, it was found that the authenticity lack of relation belief with customers didn't give the significant effect to the result of service recovery. This means that even if the service workers tried the service recovery efforts with the authenticity, if the customers didn't accept this, it could be difficult to expect the result of service recovery. That is, for the result of substantial service recovery, the authenticity that the relation belief with customers was established is the core and it is more important to form the relation belief with customers based on the basic authenticity than the service recovery efforts through the customer response manual etc.
