L’objectif de cet article est de montrer comment les interactions avec les clients initialement inconnus mais présents lors de l’expérience de service, que nous appelons ‘co-clients’, influencent la satisfaction immédiate du consommateur envers le service délivré. Cette recherche exploratoire s’appuie sur une étude qualitative croisant plusieurs méthodes, menée sur deux services: un voyage en train et un cours de fitness. Elle identifie six rôles joués par les co-clients sur la satisfaction et quatre mécanismes d’influence sous-jacents. Les autres clients informent sur le service à venir, posent les règles sociales, sont un standard de comparaison, distraient, perturbent et aident à participer. L’influence de ces rôles sur la satisfaction se manifeste par la modification des attentes et de la performance perçue, directement ou via la participation, et à travers le sentiment d’équité. Elle est par ailleurs modérée par des variables situationnelles.
