The service failure caused by a provider comes to an end of the relationship between a customer and a provider. To prevent this disaster, a firm takes a step to prevent customer churn. The purpose of this paper is to investigate how switching barriers affect service recovery. To verify hypotheses respectively, some data were collected and processed. The findings and implications can be analysed as follows. Positive and negative switching barriers have a significant positive effect on service recovery evaluation. And positive switching barrier has more impact on service recovery evaluation than negative switching barrier. Thus, the author concluded that the more switching barriers a firm builds, the more service recovery it improves.
