Abstract

Managing waiting experience is critical for providing service because waiting is an inevitable experience. We explored the factors which influence the waiting experience of the customers and the experience they face, in order to find out the meaning of waiting experience of the customer. As a result, we investigated a holistic sequence divided into four stages. When the customers wait for the service, perceived time would be increased by Zeigarnik effect. How long the customers feel when waiting is largely affected by a gap between waiting time and the perceived time, rather than the perceived time itself. Furthermore, the customers showed a tendency to have hard time immersing in the media due to considering others. Additionally, we could find that waiting time after giving an order is relatively more important than the waiting time before the order. Based on the results, the service provider should convey a feeling of completion by fitting the end point of the media to the point when the customer receives the service. In addition, high predictability needs to be offered for the customers in order to predict the exact waiting time. Finally, the customers should feel as if they take the initiative during waiting time.

서비스를 제공해주는데 있어서 대기시간 관리는 매우 중요하다. 대기는 현대사회에서 서비스를 받는데 있어 피할 수 없는 경험이며 서비스 만족도에 악영향을 미치기도 한다. 사용자가 서비스 대기 시간에 겪게 되는 경험의 의미가 무엇인지 알기 위해 대기시간의 사용자 경험에 영향을 미치는 요인과 그로 인해 사용자가 겪게 되는 경험들을 탐색해 보았다. 그 결과 대기 경험의 총체적인 시퀀스를 4단계로 나눠 밝혀냈으며, 인지된 시간 자체 보다는 기대하는 시간과 인지된 시간의 차이가 중요하고, 주문 이전 보다 이후의 대기가 더 중요하다는 사실을 발견할 수 있었다. 또한 사용자는 대기 중 자이가르닉 효과에 의해 시간을 더 길게 느끼고 주위 눈치를 보기 때문에 미디어에 몰입하지 못한다는 사실도 발견하였다. 도출된 발견들을 통해 대기시간에 사용자가 보는 미디어의 끝을 서비스를 제공받는 시점과 일치시키는 완성된 느낌을 제공해야 하며, 사용자가 최대한 정확한 대기시간을 예측할 수 있도록 예측 가능성을 제공해야 하고, 마지막으로 사용자가 대기시간 동안 주도권을 가지고 있다고 느끼게 해야 한다는 세 가지 서비스 디자인 원칙을 제시하였다. 추가적으로 그 목적으로 가는 단계적이고 현실적인 대안도 제시하였다. 이는 서비스 제공자 가 전략 구축 시 디자인 원칙으로 활용하여 서비스 고객 만족도를 높일 수 있을 것이다.
