description: Colloidal systems offer the ideal conditions to study the nucleation process, both from an experimental viewpoint, due to their relative large size and long time-scales, and from a modeling point of view, due to the tunability of their interactions. Here we review some recent works that study the process of colloidal crystallization from a microscopic perspective. We focus in particular on non-classical pathways to nucleation where the appearance of the solid crystals involves fluctuations of two (or more) order parameters. We interpret the non-classical behavior as a decoupling of positional and orientational symmetry breaking. We then consider how the nucleation pathway determines which polymorph is selected upon nucleation from the melt. Moreover we show how the study of nucleation pathways not only sheds new light on the microscopic mechanism of nucleation, but also provides important information regarding its avoidance, thus suggesting a deep link between crystallization and vitrification.

Employees' Perception of the Problems and Practices of Employee Performance Evaluation: A Case study of Awash International Bank (AIB)
Creators: name: Bayisa, Zelalem
Publisher: name: National Academic Digital Repository of Ethiopia
Year: 2007

description: This project is designed to assess the perception of employees towards the practices and problems of performance evaluation in Awash International Bank To this end; the study has the objective to assess the perception of employees towards the problems and practices of performance evaluation. On the basis of data collected through questionnaires and interview which are founded on the theoretical assessment of related literatures; I have tried to unearth some of the real problems of appraisals based on the opinion of the ratees in that particular organization. The questionnaire was distributed to 80 employees of the bank working in four branches: Bole, Head office, Stadium and Arat Kilo branches in which only 65 were fully completed and returned. The questionnaire was distributed to the employees on the basis of convenience sampling based on the willingness and cooperation of the respondents. The data collected were analyzed using SPSS software. On the basis of the data obtained from the respondents, the study identified the lack of transparency both during the evaluation and after evaluation as its major findings. Almost all the participants vented out that they are not allowed to see the result of their ratings. As a result, they do not have a confidence on the appropriateness of the evaluation to make crucial human resource decisions. The lack of clarity of performance evaluation criteria and the subjectivity involved in the evaluation which resulted in role ambiguity and frustration viii among the employees were identified to be the other problem of performance appraisal in Awash international bank (aib). On the other hand, the subjective nature of the standards against which the performance of employees are judged lead raters to manipulate the evaluation for their own personal agendas. The universal purpose of performance evolutions across the board were also common problems in the system. The performance evaluation forms do not reflect the performance of the employees as they can be irrelevant for some jobs. Moreover, through my research I have discovered that raters usually do not continually record or document the performance of employees over the evaluation period. In this regard, it was identified that raters evaluate the performance of employees on the basis of recent behaviours. Based on the findings of the study, I have forwarded some recommendations so that if they are used by the bank will give them an insight as to the practice and its associated problems of performance appraisal in the organization.
On $g$-Extra Connectivity of Hypercube-like Networks

description: Given a connected graph $G$ and a non-negative integer $g$, the {\em $g$-extra connectivity} $\k_g(G)$ of $G$ is the minimum cardinality of a set of vertices in $G$, if it exists, whose deletion disconnects $G$ and leaves each remaining component with more than $g$ vertices. This paper focuses on the $g$-extra connectivity of hypercube-like networks (HL-networks for short) which includes numerous well-known topologies, such as hypercubes, twisted cubes, crossed cubes and Möbius cubes. All the known results suggest the equality $\k_g(X_n)=f_n(g)$ holds, where $X_n$ is an $n$-dimensional HL-network, $f_n(g)=n(g+1)-\frac{g(g+3)}{2}$, $n\geq 5$ and $0\leq g\leq n-3$? Some authors also attempted to prove this equality in general. In this paper, we construct a subfamily of an $n$-dimensional HL-network with $g$-extra connectivity greater than $f_n(g)$ which implies that the above equality does not hold in general. We also prove that for $n\geq 5$ and $0\leq g\leq n-3$, $\k_g(X_n)\geq f_n(g)$ always holds. This enables us to give a sufficient condition for the equality $\k_g(X_n)=f_n(g)$, which is then used to determine the $g$-extra connectivity of HL-networks for some small $g$ or the $g$-extra connectivity of some particular subfamily of HL-networks. As a result, a short proof for the main results in [Journal of Computer and System Sciences 79 (2013) 669--688].

description: Today competition is not only rife, but growing more intense constantly. However, companies need to start paying keen attention to their competitors, they must understand their customers. Airlines are suffering from each competition. They have to believe customers as core concept of their business; customer satisfaction is what guarantees the future of air lines and it is achievable by taking up their services and passengers' needs. In other words, service quality is typically defined in terms of consumer satisfaction. The purpose of this study is to measure the service quality and its subsequent effect on customer satisfaction at Ethiopian airlines using a model that describes various dimensions of service quality. To this purpose the researcher has studied the service quality of the air line using SERVQUAL model. Convenience sampling technique was used in the study to take a sample from the infinite population. A total sample of 150 respondents who have made a flight with Ethiopian airlines were taken as a respondent. A questionnaire was designed based on the model in order to examine all the five factors of service quality in the model for air line industry. It is inclusively concluded that passengers of EAL are not satisfied with the perceived services of three dimensions of the model and it warns the air line to focus on passengers expectations. Tangibles, assurance, responsiveness, reliability and empathy are five features of the model and in tangibles and reliability the passengers are satisfied, but in the remaining three passengers feel dissatisfied. Managers should train employees, improve visually attractive facilities and coordinate all people, departments and organizations involved with the services. Finally, managers at EAL should measure passengers' satisfaction and service quality seasonally to keep the services corresponded with customers' opinions.

description: The Ethiopian Commodity Exchange was established to revolutionize Ethiopian agriculture and transform the economy through a dynamic, efficient and transparent marketing system. Properly implemented and regulated, commodity exchanges can contribute greatly to the achievement of a country's economic and developmental goals and strengthen the bargaining power of participants. Hence the overall objective of this study is to assess the trading practices and identify the challenges of participants of the Ethiopian commodity exchange. And the variables that were assessed and identified were trading practice, warehouse and quality grading, liquidity and market information system. A survey questionnaires and interviews were prepared to collect a primary data, secondary data from the books and documents of the ECX and other sources were also used to augment the primary data. The data was collected from a sample of 80 Ethiopian commodity exchange participants or members selected through random sampling. And the survey was collected through cross-sectional survey. And the data was analyzed through descriptive analysis and binary regression model by using of SPSS version 16.The result shows Ethiopian commodity exchange was practicing an open outcry trading system and spot contract. The binary regression model result verified that time of participation, limited membership seat, membership seat fee and occupation was found to be highly significant with the choice of membership category. Apart from this according to the descriptive analysis lack of adequate warehouses, grading and sampling system, higher penalty cost for not withdrawing commodities from the warehouses on time, availability of in store credit, higher membership seat fee and transaction cost, were found to be some of constraints that hinder participants from the smooth functioning of transactions in the exchange.

description: The objective of this research was to investigate empirically the challenges that the Micro and Small Enterprises in Bahir Dar city are facing and the extent of business development services provided by the Technical, Vocational and Enterprise Development Department of the city Administration'sTechnical, Vocational, and Enterprise Development Department to help them continue in operation. This research covered both the demand and the supply side of business development service. The sample involved in the study were 334 micro and small enterprise operators and an expert from each of the nine sub cities of Bahir Dar. The number of micro and small business operators from every sub city, and the five selected business sectors were proportionately selected using a multi stage stratified clustering method. The results of the study revealed that,the micro and small enterprisesoperating in the city have been facing various constraints that needs additional effort from different actors. The effort that has been deployed by the TVEDD as a BDS provider appeared to be very low. Micro and small enterprises found it very difficult to access alternative financing, market for their products, adequate trainings and advisory services, infrastructure, quality inputs and skilled labor to improve productivity and maintain the required standards of quality. This in turn affected their products' marketability and negatively contributed towards their negotiation capacity to grow and continue in operation. In general, the BDSs thatTVEDD provided to date are found very helpful by the enterprises operating in manufacturing, construction and urban agriculture sectors. On the other hand business from retail and service sector found the services to be generic and not in line with their identified gaps. Even though the information on BDS is available to the MSEs at large,TVEDD provided services were not equally accessible by the MSEs.In relation to the level of challenge that the MSE operators are facing, the level of non-financial services provided to the MSEs is very limited. The awareness level of MSEs to make use of BDS is also at its infant stage.The results found suggest that, BDS is important to improve growth and sustainability of MSE but the quality and quantity of the services provided to the MSE need to be enhanced, well-coordinated and networked. It is also equally important to document and institute a referral system to enhance both the quality and the quantity of the services that need to be provided to MSEs. Finally the government should also consider encouraging and building the capacity of the nongovernmental service providers and facilitators to satisfy the needs of the MSEs to grow and sustain.

description: The hourglass model is a widely used as a means of describing the design of the Internet, and can be found in the introduction of many modern textbooks. It arguably also applies to the design of other successful spanning layers, notably the Unix operating system kernel interface, meaning the primitive system calls and the interactions between user processes and the kernel. The impressive success of the Internet has led to a wider interest in using the hourglass model in other layered systems, with the goal of achieving similar results. However, application of the hourglass model has often led to controversy, perhaps in part because the language in which it has been expressed has been informal, and arguments for its validity have not been precise. Making a start on formalizing such an argument is the goal of this paper.

description: Now days, organizations operate in a complex and changing environment that greatly enhances or influences their growth and expansion. To cope up with this changing environment and technological advancement organizations need to develop and train their employees. In addition the survival and growth of any organization depends on the quality of human resources of the company. Skills and knowledge can easily become obsolete in same way as machines or technology. So if an organization is to survive these must be constantly kept up to date through effective HRD programs. HRD is especially important in industries with rapidly changing technologic such as banking industries Having this in mind, the study has been conducted in NBE to assess the practices HRD programs. The methodologies used to undertake the study were both primary and secondary data collection instruments. The sampling technique employed to collect primary information was simple random sampling. Accordingly, the data gathered were analyzed using descriptive statistics. The finding of the study reveled that NBE'S strength in most of the T and D program processes, especially with respects to adequacy of HRD budgets, HRD methods, trainer's capabilities and skills, appropriateness of training facilities and desired content of the HRD program.. However, NBE is not as such effective enough relation to HRD program's need assessment, objectives, training periods' adequacy, and evaluation as majority the respondents replied. Thus, the bank should keep up with its strengths and should alleviate its weaknesses by applying scientific principles regarding HRD program.

description: A period of quenching between the formation of the thick and thin disks of the Milky Way has been recently proposed to explain the observed age-[α/Fe] distribution of stars in the solar neighbourhood. However, robust constraints on stellar ages are currently available for only a limited number of stars. The all-sky survey TESS (Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite) will observe the brightest stars in the sky and thus can be used to investigate the age distributions of stars in these components of the Galaxy via asteroseismology, where previously this has been difficult using other techniques. The aim of this preliminary study was to determine whether TESS will be able to provide evidence for quenching periods during the star formation history of the Milky Way. Using a population synthesis code, we produced populations based on various stellar formation history models and limited the analysis to red-giant-branch stars. We investigated the mass-Galactic-disk-height distributions, where stellar mass was used as an age proxy, to test for whether periods of quenching can be observed by TESS. We found that even with the addition of 15% noise to the inferred masses, it will be possible for TESS to find evidence for/against quenching periods suggested in the literature (e.g. between 7 and 9 Gyr ago), therefore providing stringent constraints on the formation and evolution of the Milky Way.

Hierfür wurde eine kürzlich charakterisierte Gruppe von IMOMA-Zyklasen, die in unterschiedlichen Naturstoffbiosynthesen Sauerstoffheterozyklen über eine intramolekulare oxa-MICHAEL-Addition bilden, eingehender untersucht und ihr Potential für eine synthetische Nutzung evaluiert. Die durchgeführten Arbeiten erweiterten die Auswahl an charakterisierten IMOMA-Zyklasen und schaffen am Beispiel der detaillierten Studie zu AmbDH3 eine Blaupause für entsprechende Untersuchungen verwandter Zyklasen in der Zukunft. Hiermit rückt eine Verwendung dieses neuen Enzymtyps in der chemoenzymatischen Synthese näher. Die bisher gewonnenen Erkenntnisse legen nahe, dass die Verwendung dieser Zyklasen gegenüber der verfügbaren chemischen Synthesemethodologie für die IMOMA bedeutende Vorteile, wie eine hochkonservierte Stereoselektivität und die Möglichkeit zur kinetischen Racematspaltung, bietet.

description: Customer satisfaction is essential for the success of service firms like banks. Thus, the issue of enhancing the level of customer satisfaction has become the prime focus of service giving firms. The purpose of this study was to know the level of customer satisfaction in the services provided by bank of Abyssinia and it is also to identify the factors that influence customer satisfaction on the banking sector of BOAs, based on customer satisfaction regarding service quality. Five dimensions in service quality such as tangibility, reliability, responsiveness, empathy, and assurance are considered as the base for the analysis of this study. A structured questionnaire with 5 point Likert scale has been used to collect the data by conducting survey. The questionnaire has been personally administered on a sample size of 110 customers who were willing to fill the questioner from a total population of 478,436 BOA customers in 183 branches by taking 10 branches based on convenient sampling method. From 110 sampled respondents taken from 10 branches, 11 for each, a total of 106 respondents were returned the questionnaire. Data has been analyzed by using SPSS software (version: 20). Result of the study showed that 64% of customers in bank of Abyssinia are satisfied with the service of the banks and Tangibility, Assurance, Empathy, sex and number of years as a customer of BOA are significantly and positively influenced customer attitudes in terms of satisfaction that is the three service quality dimensions and the two control variables are crucial for customer satisfaction in bank of Abyssinia. Based on the findings also the researcher recommends the bank to focus on its tangible natures while this dimension have lest mean score when it compared from the others. As well as recommends that the bank to further investigate the main reason of unsatisfied customers and also to focus on the customers who not taking a side weather on satisfied or dissatisfied groups. This paper makes a useful contribution in updating the current customer satisfaction levels of Ethiopian banks.

description: This research aims to investigate the overall and detailed financial disclosure status of Ethiopian companies against the IAS/IFRS standards. For the sake of achieving the objectives of this study, the detailed disclosure index has been adopted and analyzed using descriptive statistical methods. The disclosure index filled from a sample of 75 banking, insurance and ECX member companies' annual financial reports of 2013/2014 GC (2006 EC). These 75 annual financial reports were selected from 20% from each of the 19 banks, 17 insurance and 343 ECX member companies using a simple random sampling technique. The literature analysis outlined the role of various local and international standards and regulatory bodies into the status of financial disclosure practices in Ethiopia. Various empirical studies have also been analyzed at the developed, developing and Ethiopian contexts. Therefore, the overall findings show that all the seventy five sampled companies have not fully complied with IAS/IFRS disclosure requirements. It is further indicated that the overall mean of 35.18% compliance score was very much lower than an average 56% compliance in the developing world (Gephardt and Heilman 2004). In addition, the study also revealed significant differences among the two selected industries in Ethiopia with significance difference levels of 0.26723 (t-test=6.533, P=0.000). Based on findings, recommendations to government bodies, the concerned companies and suggestions for other researchers are forwarded.

description: This study aim to see the factors that influence the adoption of agent banking in commercial banks of Ethiopia. The study tries to answer research questions such as Why do commercial banks venture into agent banking? What are the factors influences the adoption of agency banking? To answer the questions descriptive study used to analyze the data gathered from the selected private banks Dashen Bank, United Bank and Lion International Bank. The study uses different theories which have relation to the adoption of agent banking like innovation theory, agency theory and porter's competitive theory. Based on this a research frame work developed by identifying the factors as independent variable and adoption of agent banking as dependent variable. The factors identified are technology, demography, competition, regulation, consumer behavior and untapped market. The study identifies that the factors have great influence on commercial banks to adopt agent banking since agent banking has benefit for the banks and the customers in reducing costs. Moreover, agent banking helps the banks to be competitive, widen their customer base, and enable them accessible to reach the unbanked population. The study recommends banks have to conduct technology based competition to widen their customer base by reaching the unbanked society which is the huge untapped opportunity. The regulatory body also has to see the regulation from time to time to control the risk associated with the product and revise points which might have restriction on the process. Keywords: Adoption of Agent Banking, unbanked population, regulatory body

description: A review of recent developments of the dispersive optical model (DOM) is presented. Starting from the original work of Mahaux and Sartor, several necessary steps are developed and illustrated which increase the scope of the DOM allowing its interpretation as generating an experimentally constrained functional form of the nucleon self-energy. The method could therefore be renamed as the dispersive self-energy method. The aforementioned steps include the introduction of simultaneous fits of data for chains of isotopes or isotones allowing a data-driven extrapolation for the prediction of scattering cross sections and level properties in the direction of the respective drip lines. In addition, the energy domain for data was enlarged to include results up to 200 MeV where available. An important application of this work was implemented by employing these DOM potentials to the analysis of the (\textit{d,p}) transfer reaction using the adiabatic distorted wave approximation (ADWA). We review the fully non-local DOM potential fitted to ${}^{40}$Ca where elastic-scattering data, level information, particle number, charge density and high-momentum-removal $(e,e'p)$ cross sections obtained at Jefferson Lab were included in the analysis. An important consequence of this new analysis is the finding that the spectroscopic factor for the removal of valence protons in this nucleus comes out larger by about 0.15 than the results obtained from the NIKHEF analysis of their $(e,e'p)$ data. Another important consequence of this analysis is that it can shed light on the relative importance of two-body and three-body interactions as far as their contribution to the energy of the ground state is concerned through application of the energy sum rule.

description: Spin waves in the type-III ordered antiferromagnetic state of the frustrated $t$-$t'$ Hubbard model on the fcc lattice are calculated to investigate finite-$U$-induced competing interaction and frustration effects on magnetic excitations and instabilities. Particularly strong competing interactions generated due to interplay of fcc lattice geometry and magnetic order result in significant spin wave softening. The calculated spin wave dispersion is found to be in qualitative agreement with the measured spin wave dispersion in the pyrite mineral $\rm Mn S_2$ obtained from inelastic neutron scattering experiments. Instabilities to other magnetic orders (type I, type II, spiral, non-collinear), as signalled by spin wave energies turning negative, are also discussed.

description: This research paper presents assessment of credit monitoring and asset quality in the case of Dashen Bank. The study was conducted on the basis of opinion survey collected from randomly selected credit officers working in Dashen Bank through interview. The collected data were analyzed using descriptive qualitative research to assess and describe the relationship of credit monitoring and asset quality in banks operating in Ethiopia, particularly in Dashen Bank Share Company. The research also aimed at assessing the factors that affect asset quality and areas of improvement in the credit monitoring activity. The results from the analysis has emphasized on four findings. First, credit monitoring activity and asset quality are related and the relevance of their relationship is significant. Second, credit monitoring activity and asset quality are affected by credit governance, collateral position of borrowers, credit culture, market condition, economic conditions, finical conditions and the monetary policy of National Bank of Ethiopia. The economic condition, market condition, monetary policy and credit culture are external factors that significantly affect credit monitoring activity while the credit governance, collateral position and financial condition are internal factors that significantly affect asset quality. But the later factors are also affected by the credit monitoring activity. Finally, it was also recommended that the credit deployment plan and loan portfolio management, the credit appraisal and approval function and the performance evaluation and monitoring activity should be regularly reviewed in line with all relevant internal and external factors to ensure prevalence of enhanced credit monitoring activity and asset quality.

description: Fitting spectral distributions of total fluxes or image intensities are two standard methods for estimating the masses of starless cores and protostellar envelopes. These mass estimates, which are the main source and basis of our knowledge of the origin and evolution of self-gravitating cores and protostars, are uncertain. In this model-based study, a grid of radiative transfer models of starless cores and protostellar envelopes was computed and their total fluxes and image intensities were fitted to derive the model masses. To investigate intrinsic effects related to the physical objects, all observational complications were explicitly ignored. Known true values of the numerical models allow us to assess the qualities of the methods and fitting models, as well as the effects of nonuniform temperatures, far-infrared opacity slope, selected subsets of wavelengths, background subtraction, and angular resolutions. The method of fitting image intensities gives more accurate masses for more resolved objects than the method of fitting total fluxes. With the latter, a fitting model that assumes optically thin emission gives much better results than the one allowing substantial optical depths. Temperature excesses within the objects above the mass-averaged values skew their spectral shapes towards shorter wavelengths, leading to masses underestimated typically by factors 2-5. With a fixed opacity slope deviating from the true value by a factor of 1.2, derived masses are inaccurate within a factor of 2. The most accurate masses of the models are estimated by fitting just two or three longest-wavelength fluxes. Conventional algorithm of background subtraction is a likely source of large systematic errors. The absolute values of masses of the unresolved or poorly resolved objects in star-forming regions are uncertain to within at least a factor of 2-3.

title: Der moralische Kompass der JägerInnen
Creators: name: Unger, Hannah Kristin
Year: 2023

description: Die vorliegende Masterarbeit beschäftigt sich zum einen mit dem Moralverständnis von JägerInnen und zum anderen damit, ob die Theorie der umweltethischen Positionen auf JägerInnen anwendbar ist. Die Arbeit setzt sich aus einem theoretischen und einem empirischen Abschnitt zusammen. Der erste, theoretische Teil beschäftigt sich mit der Definition und Unterscheidung von Moral und Ethik, dem Forschungsfeld Umweltethik, damit, wie die Tierethik in die Umweltethik eingebettet ist und mit relevanten Begriffen sowie bisherigen Forschungen aus diesem Feld. Der zweite, empirische Teil der Arbeit dient der Überprüfung der auf der Theorie basierenden forschungsleitenden Annahmen und Forschungsfragen. Dafür wurden leitfragengestützte, problemzentrierte Interviews mit JägerInnen geführt. Die Auswertung der Interviews erfolgte durch die computergestützte qualitative Inhaltsanalyse mittels MAXQDA. Der Fokus der Arbeit liegt auf der Erforschung des moralischen Kompasses der JägerInnen und den Fragen, wodurch dieser Kompass definiert wird und was aus Sicht der JägerInnen moralisch integres Handeln bei der Jagd bedeutet. Ausgehend von den Aussagen der ProbandInnen wurde überprüft, ob ihre persönlichen Zugänge zur Jagd und der Tötung von Tieren mit der Theorie der umweltethischen Positionen kompatibel sind und ob die JägerInnen einzelnen Positionen zugeordnet werden können.
description: This master's thesis deals on the one hand with the moral understanding of hunters and on the other hand with whether the theory of the separation of the environmental ethical positions is applicable to hunters. The thesis was divided into a theoretical and an empirical part. The first, theoretical part deals with the definition and distinction between morals and ethics, the research field of environmental ethics, how animal ethics is embedded in environmental ethics and discusses relevant terms and previous research in this field. The second, empirical part of the work serves to review the research assumptions and research questions based on the theory. For this purpose, problem-focused interviews with hunters were conducted based on key questions. The interviews were evaluated with computer-aided qualitative content analysis using MAXQDA. The focus of the work lies on exploring the Moral Compass of Hunters and the questions of how this compass is defined and what it means for hunters to be acting with moral integrity when hunting. Based on statements from the interview partners it was analyzed whether their personal approach to hunting and the killing of animals is compatible with the theory of the four environmental ethical positions and whether the hunters can be assigned to one of those positions.

description: People usually get involved in multiple social networks to enjoy new services or to fulfill their needs. Many new social networks try to attract users of other existing networks to increase the number of their users. Once a user (called source user) of a social network (called source network) joins a new social network (called target network), a new inter-network link (called anchor link) is formed between the source and target networks. In this paper, we concentrated on predicting the formation of such anchor links between heterogeneous social networks. Unlike conventional link prediction problems in which the formation of a link between two existing users within a single network is predicted, in anchor link prediction, the target user is missing and will be added to the target network once the anchor link is created. To solve this problem, we use meta-paths as a powerful tool for utilizing heterogeneous information in both the source and target networks. To this end, we propose an effective general meta-path-based approach called Connector and Recursive Meta-Paths (CRMP). By using those two different categories of meta-paths, we model different aspects of social factors that may affect a source user to join the target network, resulting in the formation of a new anchor link. Extensive experiments on real-world heterogeneous social networks demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method against the recent methods.

description: In the highly competitive banking industry, the success and failure of any business organization merely depends on how well it satisfies the needs and wants of customers. If a bank needs to stay competitive in the industry, it has to continuously meet the needs and wants of its customers. This research has adopted items from previously done literatures so as to assess the interaction among demographic variable, service quality, corporate image, and price and customer satisfaction from customers' perspective.0. The main objective of this study is assessing the level of customer satisfaction and factors affecting customer satisfaction the case of commercial banks of Ethiopia on the selected branches in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. Survey method was employed and primary data were gathered through the use of questionnaires. Self-administered questionnaires have been distributed for 385 randomly selected samples and out of this, analysis was made based on the data collected from 345 respondents. The questionnaires were analyzed using descriptive statistics, T-test, one way ANOVA and regression with the support of SPSS for analysis and summarization purposes. The findings based on four different independent variables (demographic variable, service quality, corporate image and price) revealed that age and education are demographic factors that have significant influence on customer satisfaction. Empathy, reliability and assurance from dimension of service quality have a significant influence on customers' satisfaction. The study has identified corporate image and price hold significant influence on customer's satisfaction. The study also found out that majority of the customers are satisfied with the services of commercial bank of Ethiopia. Key words: Service Quality, Price, Corporate Image, Customer Satisfaction
