1. INTRODUCTION


Banking sector in Bangladesh is characterized as a highly competitive and highly regulated sector. With a good
number of banks already in operation and a few more in the pipeline, the market is becoming increasingly
competitive day by day. With the global slowdown in the face of rising competition, the commercial banks are constantly
looking for ways to develop their market and quality of service and product to remain ahead of others. For this purpose
they are concerned about getting knowledge about their client’s perception on their activities. Therefore, each
commercial bank needs to generate knowledge on consumer’s perception on its day to day activities.


1.1 OBJECTIVE OF THE STUDY

The prime objective of the study is to identify the effects of consumer perception on general banking activities of
commercial banks. The secondary objectives are;
    To find out different activities of general banking division.
    To determine the characteristics of the organizations.
    To draw the relationship among the consumer perception and the Bank’s activities.

1.2 THE STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM


Consumers are one of the most important sources of clients for any bank. Bank gets a lot of money for further
investment from these clients by the savings account and fixed deposit given by the clients. So, it is highly required
that bank takes care of its important clients and renders service in such a way that fulfills the requirement of the
clients. But in recent times it has been seen that the banking activities of the clients have been reduced. So fulfilling
the requirements is mostly needed. But, to fulfill the requirement at first bank needs to know about the need and
demand of the clients.
Management decision problem and Marketing research problem of the research are:
                             How do consumers perceive the general banking activities of commercial banks?
                             Factors affecting the perception of clients on general banking division.


1.3 RESEARCH QUESTION
The statement of the problem can be defined as broad statement and specific components of the problem

                                      To measure the perception of consumer on general banking activities.
                                      To determine the characteristics of the organizations.
                                      To draw the relationship among the consumer perception and the bank’s
                                      activities.


1.4 IMPORTANCE OF THE STUDY


The study seemed very much important because this sort of factor analysis is not done in good numbers in the past.
Though some studies were done before, the use of factor analysis is not found properly. That’s why this study
became very much significant in terms of its importance.


1.5 LIMITATION OF THE STUDY


         A very few factor analysis was done previously and that created a problem in selecting research variables.
         Some problem grew up due to the use of small number of variables since consumer’s perception varies from
         person to person.

           Lack of information due to the policy of different commercial bank to keep all the information confidential.
           Therefore it was quite difficult to obtain all the necessary data that was required to complete the study.
           Major part of the study is based on the face-to-face interviews, which consists of view and opinions of those
           people. In some cases some of them were not able to provide concrete information.

2. PROPOSED CONCEPTUAL FRAMEWORK

2.1 PROPOSED GRAPHICAL MODEL:
A graphical analytical model has been used to guide the research design. This looks like the following graph:


Commitment, Convenience,
Attitude toward Banking,                            Customer’s Reliance

2.2 LITERATURE REVIEW


The core service (“what” is being offered) has features that shape customer perception and differentiate one service
provider from another (Sureshchandar et al. 2002; Brogowicz et al. 1990; Rust & Oliver 1994, Schneider & Bowen
1995; Kotler 1984).


In the area of consumer perception on general banking activities of a bank a very few literature has been found. In
this area we can develop some strand. One strand focuses on web site quality, service quality, trust and loyalty as
important factors for consumer satisfaction. (Floh and Treiblmaier, 2006). Floh and Treiblmaier (2006) mentioned
some variables used in previous research works. Those variables are summarized in the following table:

Lichtenstein and Williamson (2006) focuses on attention, accessibility, convenience, self-efficacy, usability, risks and
costs, relative advantage, knowledge and support as important factors that affect the consumer’s perception on the e-
banking activities of any bank.


DeLone and McLean IS Success Model and Trust-Commitment Theory focuses on the Web site quality, service
quality, perceived security, perceived privacy, user satisfaction, trust, commitment, usage and loyalty as some factors
that affect and influence consumer satisfaction (Susanto and Zo, 2011).


From the previous studies now we can draw a conclusion in a form of taking factors from these related studies:

4.1 FACTOR ANALYSIS
Factor analysis is a statistical method used to explain variability among observed variables in terms of fewer
unobserved variables called factors. The observed variables are modeled as linear combinations of the potential
factors, plus "error" terms. The information gained about the interdependencies between observed variables can be
used later to reduce the set of variables in a dataset. Factor analysis originated in psychometrics, and is used in
behavioral sciences, social sciences, marketing, product management, operations research, and other applied sciences
that deal with large quantities of data.                                         (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Factor_analysis)

From the above result table, we can see that to determine the numbers of factors we can consider here eigenvalues
and the percentage of the variance:


To determine the number of factors on the basis of eigenvalues
From the table, we can see that, there are three factors which values are more than 1. Such as the eigenvalue of first
component is 4.771, the eigenvalue of second component is 2.351and the eigenvalue of third component is 1.204.
Therefore we considered 3 factors.



To determine the number of factors on the basis of the percentage of the variance
The ideal values of cumulative percentage of the variance to determine the numbers of factors is 60%. From the table,
we can see that, the percentage of variance of first component is 39.759 and the percentage of variance of second
component is 19.594 and the percentage of variance of third component is 10.035. As a result the cumulative
percentage of variance of three factors is 69.389 which accounts for at least 60 percent of the variance.

5.   CONCLUSION


With the present recession of the global economy, the entire world’s business environment has been influenced.
Although Bangladesh is a small country, global recession puts a very powerful impact on its business world. Every
commercial bank is trying to give a better service to its customers to survive in this competitive business
environment. As the activities in general banking division of commercial banks are directly related with the
consumers, most of the banks are conscious with the activities of this division.


In this paper we have discussed about findings from a list of variables that affect consumer perception about the
commercial banks in Bangladesh. We have focused on identifying key variables that affect consumer perception about
any bank. The variables that we used to identify consumer perception were customer loyalty, attention, accessibility,
convenience, risks, trust, security, privacy, costs, attitude toward banking and service. Then these variables are
summarized into three factors named as customer’s reliance, customer’s value and safety issues. Our Result explains
that people are highly conscious about these factors regarding their banking.


The first factor is customer’s reliance. Customers are highly conscious about their reliance on bank. As bank deals
with their monitory issues, customer wants to rely on the banker or relationship manager. In this paper customer’s
reliance is the combination of the commitment of the employee to the customers, convenience, favorable attitude of
the customer towards the bank and the trust of the customer on the bank.


The second factor that extracted from this research is customer’s value. This customer’s value is the combination of
attention, accessibility, service quality, loyalty and cost of service. Whenever any customer enters into any bank,
he/she expects proper attention from the relationship manager. The customer has an expectation that he will be

informed about the services available in that bank and wants to do better utilization of his/her asset, making it into
good portfolio. The good service quality of the officer helps the customer to increases his/her relationship with the
bank. Thus customers become loyal to the bank. Besides, customers are highly conscious about their cost of service.
As they are paying for the service what they get, they expect good services from their bank.


The third factor that extracted from this research is concerned with the safety issues of customer. The variables that
summarized in this factor are security, privacy and low risk. Customers want the safety and security of their asset. It
is expected that customer’s information are not shared with anyone else. Sometimes any customer may give authority
to anyone to get his/her financial information like balance of the account or statement of any particular time frame.
Those authorizations of any particular case are related to that specific time. Another option is giving delegation
power of to someone by the account holder. With the entire options customer expect the safety and security of their
information.


Any bank can do well if it is highly conscious about the three factors discussed above. Maintaining this
consciousness can help the bank to get good deposit (liability) and utilize those in profitable advance (asset).

Cell:+88-01912807050 E-mail: aafxal_005@yahoo.com Abstract To cope up with the competitive and highly regulated banking sector, every bank is trying to put their focus on satisfying its customers. As a result consumers’ need is required to be found out. This research focuses on the issues to find out consumers’ perception on general banking activities of a commercial bank. The paper provides an understanding of different factors that affect consumer perception on general activities of a bank. Here 3 factors are generated with the help of factor analysis. This sort of research is also helpful to find out consumer’s perception in different industries and organizations. Keyword: Factor analysis, General banking activities, Commercial banks 1. INTRODUCTION Banking sector in Bangladesh is characterized as a highly competitive and highly regulated sector. With a good number of banks already in operation and a few more in the pipeline, the market is becoming increasingly competitive day by day. With the global slowdown in the face of rising competition, the commercial banks are constantly looking for ways to develop their market and quality of service and product to remain ahead of others. For this purpose they are concerned about getting knowledge about their client’s perception on their activities. Therefore, each commercial bank needs to generate knowledge on consumer’s perception on its day to day activities. 1.1 OBJECTIVE OF THE STUDY The prime objective of the study is to identify the effects of consumer perception on general banking activities of commercial banks. The secondary objectives are; To find out different activities of general banking division. To determine the characteristics of the organizations. To draw the relationship among the consumer perception and the Bank’s activities. 54

European Journal of Business and Management www.iiste.org ISSN 2222-1905 (Paper) ISSN 2222-2839 (Online) Vol 4, No.7, 2012 1.2 THE STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM Consumers are one of the most important sources of clients for any bank. Bank gets a lot of money for further investment from these clients by the savings account and fixed deposit given by the clients. So, it is highly required that bank takes care of its important clients and renders service in such a way that fulfills the requirement of the clients. But in recent times it has been seen that the banking activities of the clients have been reduced. So fulfilling the requirements is mostly needed. But, to fulfill the requirement at first bank needs to know about the need and demand of the clients. Management decision problem and Marketing research problem of the research are: How do consumers perceive the general banking activities of commercial banks? Factors affecting the perception of clients on general banking division. 1.3 RESEARCH QUESTION The statement of the problem can be defined as broad statement and specific components of the problem Table 1: Research Questions Research Questions Broad Research What is the impact of consumer’s perception on the general banking activities of Question a commercial bank? Specific components To find out different activities of general banking division. To measure the perception of consumer on general banking activities. To determine the characteristics of the organizations. To draw the relationship among the consumer perception and the bank’s activities. 1.4 IMPORTANCE OF THE STUDY The study seemed very much important because this sort of factor analysis is not done in good numbers in the past. Though some studies were done before, the use of factor analysis is not found properly. That’s why this study became very much significant in terms of its importance. 1.5 LIMITATION OF THE STUDY A very few factor analysis was done previously and that created a problem in selecting research variables. Some problem grew up due to the use of small number of variables since consumer’s perception varies from person to person. 55
  • 3. European Journal of Business and Management www.iiste.org ISSN 2222-1905 (Paper) ISSN 2222-2839 (Online) Vol 4, No.7, 2012 Lack of information due to the policy of different commercial bank to keep all the information confidential. Therefore it was quite difficult to obtain all the necessary data that was required to complete the study. Major part of the study is based on the face-to-face interviews, which consists of view and opinions of those people. In some cases some of them were not able to provide concrete information. 2. PROPOSED CONCEPTUAL FRAMEWORK 2.1 PROPOSED GRAPHICAL MODEL: A graphical analytical model has been used to guide the research design. This looks like the following graph: Commitment, Convenience, Attitude toward Banking, Customer’s Reliance Trust Attention, Access, Service Consumers’ Customer’s Value Perception Quality, Loyalty, Cost of services Security, Privacy, Low risk Safety Issue Fig 1: Factors Consumers Perceive regarding the general banking activities of commercial bank 2.2 LITERATURE REVIEW The core service (“what” is being offered) has features that shape customer perception and differentiate one service provider from another (Sureshchandar et al. 2002; Brogowicz et al. 1990; Rust & Oliver 1994, Schneider & Bowen 1995; Kotler 1984). In the area of consumer perception on general banking activities of a bank a very few literature has been found. In this area we can develop some strand. One strand focuses on web site quality, service quality, trust and loyalty as important factors for consumer satisfaction. (Floh and Treiblmaier, 2006). Floh and Treiblmaier (2006) mentioned some variables used in previous research works. Those variables are summarized in the following table: 56

DeLone and McLean IS Success Model and Trust-Commitment Theory focuses on the Web site quality, service quality, perceived security, perceived privacy, user satisfaction, trust, commitment, usage and loyalty as some factors that affect and influence consumer satisfaction (Susanto and Zo, 2011). From the previous studies now we can draw a conclusion in a form of taking factors from these related studies: 57

Then factor analysis which is a multivariate technique is used to find out the factor influencing consumer’s perception. 3.2 INFORMATION NEEDED 58
  • 6. European Journal of Business and Management www.iiste.org ISSN 2222-1905 (Paper) ISSN 2222-2839 (Online) Vol 4, No.7, 2012 Main information was required to find out client’s perception on the general banking services. For this purpose face to face interview worked as the best way to get information from the clients and that can reflect consumer’s perception. 3.3 INFORMATION COLLECTION To collect information 80 respondents were used to conduct a survey with the help of questionnaire. 3.4 SOURCES OF DATA Primary source: Interviewing the clients as well as managers of the bank has been regarded as the primary source of information. Secondary sources: Different publications of the organizations, departmental working procedure manual regarding their functions and their website were the secondary sources of data. 3.5 QUESTIONNAIRE DEVELOPMENT The questionnaire was developed in a way that reveals the respondents response related to each of the independent variables. A single statement is prepared for a single independent variable. The questionnaire was formed as a seven point scale that starts from point- 1 strongly disagree to point- 7 strongly agree with point- 4 reflecting neither agree nor disagree. The related table is given below to give the clear view of the scale. Strongly Disagree Somewhat Neither agree Somewhat Agree Strongly disagree disagree nor disagree agree agree 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 3.6 DATA COLLECTION METHOD Data required for this study to identify the present consumer’s perception in banking were conducted by survey. Survey was conducted on factors affecting consumer’s perception. The respondents were asked questions from a preplanned questionnaire. Face-to-face Interviews Face-to-face interview was conducted between a market researcher and a respondent. Data was collected on a survey. The survey was very rigid or 'structured' and use closed questions. Data is easily compared. 3.7 SAMPLING DESIGN 59

European Journal of Business and Management www.iiste.org ISSN 2222-1905 (Paper) ISSN 2222-2839 (Online) Vol 4, No.7, 2012 4.1 FACTOR ANALYSIS Factor analysis is a statistical method used to explain variability among observed variables in terms of fewer unobserved variables called factors. The observed variables are modeled as linear combinations of the potential factors, plus "error" terms. The information gained about the interdependencies between observed variables can be used later to reduce the set of variables in a dataset. Factor analysis originated in psychometrics, and is used in behavioral sciences, social sciences, marketing, product management, operations research, and other applied sciences that deal with large quantities of data.

Such as the eigenvalue of first component is 4.771, the eigenvalue of second component is 2.351and the eigenvalue of third component is 1.204. Therefore we considered 3 factors. To determine the number of factors on the basis of the percentage of the variance The ideal values of cumulative percentage of the variance to determine the numbers of factors is 60%. From the table, we can see that, the percentage of variance of first component is 39.759 and the percentage of variance of second component is 19.594 and the percentage of variance of third component is 10.035. As a result the cumulative percentage of variance of three factors is 69.389 which accounts for at least 60 percent of the variance.

CONCLUSION With the present recession of the global economy, the entire world’s business environment has been influenced. Although Bangladesh is a small country, global recession puts a very powerful impact on its business world. Every commercial bank is trying to give a better service to its customers to survive in this competitive business environment. As the activities in general banking division of commercial banks are directly related with the consumers, most of the banks are conscious with the activities of this division. In this paper we have discussed about findings from a list of variables that affect consumer perception about the commercial banks in Bangladesh. We have focused on identifying key variables that affect consumer perception about any bank. The variables that we used to identify consumer perception were customer loyalty, attention, accessibility, convenience, risks, trust, security, privacy, costs, attitude toward banking and service. Then these variables are summarized into three factors named as customer’s reliance, customer’s value and safety issues.
