Abstract

This paper examined the influence of employees' social regard toward the customers, such as, overall service quality, service satisfaction, and service loyalty. The paper proves that the high contact beauty services and the low contact fast-food services have different customer satisfaction level depending on the employees' social regards. A survey study was conducted to collect the data with the actual service purchasers at domestic beauty services and fast-food services. Analysis of structural equation modeling with Amos 18.0 was performed to test the research hypothesis. The results of the study are as follows: First, social regard has positive influences on service quality, service satisfaction, and service loyalty. Second, Social regard has more effect on service satisfaction in a high contact beauty services than in a low contact fast-food services.

본 연구의 목적은 고객에 대한 배려가 전반적인 서비스품질, 서비스 만족과 서비스 충성도에 대한 영향력을 검증함으로서, 서비스에서 종업원의 고객에 대한 배려 행동이 충성도 형성 과정에 미치는 영향을 설명하였다. 또한 고객에 대한 배려의 전반적인 서비스품질과 만족에 대한 영향이 서비스 접촉수준이 높은 미용실 서비스와 낮은 패스트푸드 서비스 사이에 차이가 난다는 것을 검증하였다. 본 연구는 미용실 서비스와 패스트푸드 서비스를 이용한 경험을 가진 소비자를 대상으로 자료를 수집하였으며, Amos 18.0 통계패키지를 이용한 구조방정식 모형분석으로 연구가설을 검증하였다. 연구결과는 다음과 같다. 첫째, 고객에 대한 배려는 전반적인 서비스품질과 서비스 만족을 통해 충성도에 영향을 주며, 또한 직접적으로 서비스 충성도에 영향을 주는 것으로 나타났다. 둘째, 접촉수준의 차이에 따라 접촉수준이 높은 미용실 서비스에서 고객에 대한 배려의 만족에 대한 영향이 더 크게 나타나는 것을 확인하였다. 즉, 종업원과의 접촉수준이 좀 더 빈번한 서비스에서 종업원의 고객에 대한 배려 행동이 고객 만족을 향상시키는데 중요하다는 것을 확인하였다.
