Abstract
This research examined the influence of two socialization strategies, namely Formal and Informal, on the participants in the service encounter; more specifically on service quality. A mail survey by means of self administered questionnaires was conducted among a matched sample of 210 front-line employees and 1050 customers in three major commercial banks with national branch networks in South Africa.
