considered that switching cost will be decreased when compliant attitude toward
a firm or products of a firm increased. From this point of view, the main aim
of this study is to reveal possible effects of bank customers’ attitudes
towards complaint on switching cost. In the scope of the study, attitudes
toward complaint examined as two dimensions, and switching cost as five
dimensions. The data of the research was gathered in the scope of a field study
performed with survey method that implemented on 340 participants determined
with convenience sampling among bank customers in Saruhanlı district of Manisa.
As a result of data analysis, it is determined that personal complaints as a
dimension of attitudes toward complaint has a negative effect on four
dimensions of switching cost (financial, uncertainty, learning, and relational
costs) except setup cost. In addition, it is identified that social complaints,
another dimension of attitudes toward compliant, has negative effect on four
dimensions of switching cost except financial cost. With the increase in
attitude to the complaint, switching cost is decreasing. Therefore, the
