Results shows that there are significant differences between expectations and perceptions in five dimensions of Seve Qual model for the both groups. So that, in active cooperatives the perception scores are higher than expectations for four dimensions (reliability, responsiveness, assurance and empathy) however, in the inactive cooperatives, perception scores are significantly lower than expectations. Expectation scores in active and inactive cooperatives are 29.56 and 29.68 howevere, their perception scores are 28.02 and 11.85, respectively. It shows that despite of equal expectations of members, inequal services presented by the cooperatives which implies that regardless of other factors, it could affect on the second group to be inefficient and inactive.
