The Impact of the Quality of Banking Services on Improving the Marketing Performance of Banks in Gaza Governorates from the Point of View of Their Employees

This study aimed to identify the impact of the quality of banking services on the marketing performance of the banks operating in the Gaza Strip in light of the financial transformations from the point of view of employees and the relationship between the quality of banking services and marketing performance from the point of view of employees. The researchers used the descriptive analytical method. The research population consisted of employees of Bank (Palestine Limited, Islamic Palestine, Housing, Jerusalem, Arab Bank). The study tool was a questionnaire applied to a simple random sample of employees. A total of 97 responses were obtained with a recovery rate (97%) for the questionnaire of the employees. The results of the study indicated that the level of availability of the quality of banking service (safety, credibility, efficiency of service providers, tact, empathy, reliability, communication, accessibility, material and human aspects, response level) in banks operating in the Gaza Strip from the point of view of employees was high. The results showed that the level of marketing performance of banks operating in the Gaza Strip from the point of view of workers was high. There is a statistically significant relationship at the level of (α≤0.05) between the quality of banking service and the financial transformations on the one hand and the financial transformations and marketing performance in the banks operating in the Gaza Strip from the point of view of employees. There is a statistically significant relationship at the level (α≤0.05) between the quality of banking service and marketing performance in the banks operating in the Gaza Strip from the point of view of employees. There is a statistically significant impact of the quality of banking services on the marketing performance of banks operating in the Gaza Strip in light of the financial transformations from the point of view of employees. The intermediate variable of financial transformations weakens the impact between the quality of banking services and marketing performance. There are no statistically significant differences at the level of (α≤0.05) between the averages of the employees' estimation on the quality of banking services, marketing performance and financial transitions for the variable of scientific qualification and the bank. There are statistically significant differences at the level of (α≤0.05) between the average scores of employees on the quality of banking services for the variable number of years of service and for those who have years of service (less than 5 years). One of the most important recommendations was to promote and develop the skills of bank employees, prepare banking competencies on a global level, develop their performance in the field of assimilation of developments and on the development of the banking industry. The use of special agencies to study and discover areas of weakness and strength in banking services through the use of models developed globally to raise the credibility of the results locally and internationally. The establishment of strategies and policies for the improvement of the quality of the banking service provided by the Department of Banks, taking into consideration the relative importance of the quality of the banking service provided effectively in the design and implementation of quality strategies. The need for banks to face financial transformations emanating from within the bank and not to develop a model system imported from abroad or from other banks in order to achieve effectiveness. Banks must adopt effective strategies to upgrade their services to the level of these different challenges. To develop and strengthen the oversight role of the Monetary Authority over banks, and to adopt an ambitious plan to restructure the Monetary Authority and its operations to become more in line with international standards and practices and to become a modern central bank with full powers. Banks need to encourage researchers and those interested in banking services to carry out applied studies and scientific research in this area by providing them with the financial support and data required to do so.
