Abstract

This study was conducted to analyze the influence of the service quality of the food court on customer satisfaction, revisit intention in a discount store. Among the 400 surveys, 371 participants were collected and 350 respondents were analyzed for the statistical analysis to verify research purposes. SPSS 21.0 program was used to derive the following: factor analysis, reliability analysis, simple regression, and multiple regression analysis. Results shown that, first, service quality at the discount store can affect the customer's satisfaction. The factors which can affect the customer's satisfaction are type, empathy and credibility but guarantee and reactivity don't affect it. Second, service quality at the discount store can affect a customer's revisiting. The factors which can affect the customer's revisiting are type, guarantee, empathy and credibility but reactivity doesn't affect it. Third, the customer's satisfaction at the discount store can affect the customer's revisit intention. Through this study, food court service quality can affect not only the customers' satisfaction but also consumers' revisit intention. Therefore, the company and the management need to keep researching and developing various menus, customer service training, and hygiene training in order to set the customer at ease along with making a comfortable mood and set up a dine out & meeting system.

본 연구는 대형할인점내 푸드코트 방문고객을 대상으로 푸드코트의 서비스 품질이 고객 만족 및 재방문의도에 어떠한 영향을 미치는 지를 살펴보고, 실제적인 고객만족과 재방문을 높일 수 있는 마케팅적 전략을 제시하고자 하였다. 총 400부의 설문지를 배포하여 350부가 분석에 이용되었고, SPSS 21.0 프로그램을 이용하여 기술통계, 요인분석, 신뢰도분석, 회귀분석을 실시하였다. 먼저 조사대상자의 대형할인점 푸드코트 이용행태를 살펴보면, 푸드코트 이용횟수는 월 2회 이상 이용이 70.4%나 되었고, 푸드코트의 개선사항으로는 할인혜택과 정보에 대한 개선을 요구하는 사람이 20.9%로 가장 많았다. 둘째, 대형할인점내 푸드코트 서비스 품질중 유형성(${\beta}=.456$), 공감성(${\beta}=.211$), 신뢰성(${\beta}=.183$)이 고객만족에 정(+)의 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났으며, 이 중 ${\beta}$계수 값이 0.456으로 크게 나타난 유형성이 가장 영향력이 큰 항목이었다. 셋째, 대형할인점내 푸드코트 서비스 품질중 유형성(${\beta}=.258$), 보장성(${\beta}=.148$), 공감성(${\beta}=.383$), 신뢰성(${\beta}=.201$)이 고객만족에 정(+)의 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났으며, 이 중 ${\beta}$계수 값이 0.383으로 크게 나타난 공감성이 가장 영향력이 큰 항목이었다. 넷째, 대형 할인점내 푸드코트에 대한 고객 만족은 재방문의도에 유의한 정(+)의 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 이상의 연구 결과를 통해 대형할인점내 푸드코트 운영자들은 특히 가정 내로 보내는 정보지나 인터넷, SNS를 활용한 다양한 할인혜택 정보제공과 홍보를 강화할 필요성 있고, 다양한 메뉴개발로 인한 신메뉴 출시와 메뉴 교육, 서비스 교육, 위생교육을 통하여 고객이 안심하고 편안하게 서비스를 받을 수 있는 환경을 만들어 주어 가족 외식과 모임을 할 수 있는 시스템을 확보가 필요할 것이다.
