The purpose of this study is to conceptualize the recovery transparency in the financial industry and develop a scale for measuring the financial company’s recovery efforts within the context of financial service failure. We newly constructed the concept of service recovery effort by adding recovery transparency to justice and authenticity mainly used in previous studies. And then we developed a two-dimensional measure of recovery transparency composed of visibility and traceability based on the literature review and the review of professional groups. We conducted an experimental study based on analyzing data from 293 respondents of a questionnaire and provided them with one of the 16 service failure and recovery scenarios in the context of a financial mis-selling. As a result of factor analyses such as exploratory factor analysis (EFA) and confirmatory factor analysis (CFA), a multi-item scale involving four factors (visibility, traceability, authenticity, and justice) is developed. The recovery transparency proposed in this study will be useful for future research on service recovery in various service fields as well as in the financial service.
