This study identified the causal relationships among customer satisfaction, consumer commitment, and relational outcomes(i.e., positive word-of-mouth intentions and increased customer share) in coffee houses. The results showed that satisfaction had positive impacts on consumer commitment(${\gamma}$=0.40, t=5.44, p<0.001), positive WOM intentions(${\gamma}$=0.49, t=7.47, p<0.001), and increased customer share(r=0.52, t=7.49, p<0.001). Consumer commitment also had positive impacts on positive WOM intentions(${\beta}$=0.41, t=6.52, p<0.001) and increased customer share(${\beta}$=0.26, t=3.97, p<0.001). Considering the direct effects only, satisfaction had the largest impact on increased customer share while consumer commitment did on positive WOM intentions. In addition, the direct effects of satisfaction on relational outcomes were greater than those of consumer commitment In terms of the total effects, however, relational outcomes were maximized when we combined the direct effects of satisfaction and the indirect effects of satisfaction through consumer commitment. This result supported that consumer commitment played a partial mediating role between satisfaction and relational outcomes. Furthermore, it implied that coffee houses would take full advantage of relational outcomes when they made their customers satisfied and committed to the relationship.

본 연구는 서비스 교육성과에 미치는 영향으로 성격의 요안을 살펴봄으로써 서비스 지향적인 직원들의 채용 및 서비스 교육의 방향에 대해 연구하자 하였다. 최근 기업 간의 경쟁이 치열해 지면서 고객들에게 제품이외의 것을 제공하여 고객만족을 통한 차별화에 관심을 주기 시작 하였다. 이라한 기업들은 '고객만족' 을 위해 물리적 자원과 서비스 제공자의 인적자원을 포함하여 광범위하게 노력을 기울였다. 그러나 변화무쌍한 고객의 기대에는 더 광범위한 노력이 필요하였다. 따라서 인적자원의 노력이 필요하였다. 특히 서비스를 제공하는 기업에는 고객의 접점에서 일하는 직원들의 수행능력이 고객의 기대에 만족을 줄 뿐만 아니라 기업의 이미지에도 영향을 마찰 수 있기 때문에 직원들의 고객 지향적 사고 및 행동은 고객만족에 영향을 주는 하나의 요소로 볼 수 있다. 특히 접점에서 대면하는 직원들의 지속적인 서비스 교육을 통해서 기본적인 고객응대와 고객 지향적인 사고를 전달하여 기업의 경쟁력을 향상시치고 변화하는 고객의 기대에 부응하고자 노력하고 있다. 이에 따라 본 연구에서는 이론적 근거를 토대로 연구모형을 설계하고 가설 검증을 하기 위해 유통서비스에서 1회 이상의 서비스교육을 받은 접점의 직원들을 대상으로 설문지를 배포하여 성격과 서비스 교유의 전과 후 성과 빚 서비스 교유 횟수에 대해 조사하였다. 본 연구의 실증분석 결과는 다음과 같다. 첫째, 성격과 서비스 교육성과에 미치는 영향을 볼 때 성취지향성 (ambition), 배려성(likeability), 신중성 (prudence)은 서비스교육성과에 영향을 미친다고 나타났다. 이는 직윈 채용에 있어 성격요인 분석을 할 필요성이 있을 것으로 생각된다. 서비스 지향적인 사고를 지니고 있고, 서비스 교육을 지속적으로 진행하는 기업의 특성에 맞는 직원을 채용함으로써 교육성과의 극대화와 기업의 이익창출 빚 이미지제고의 긍정적인 영향을 줄 것으로 기대된다. 둘째, 서비스 교유 횟수가 성격과 서비스 교육성과 간의 조절 작용 여부를 검증할 결과 성취지향성 (ambition), 사회성 (sociability), 지적호기심(intellectance) 이 조절 작용을 하는 것으로 나타났다. 즉 직원의 특성에 맞는 적절한 교유 횟수에 대한 방안을 모색할 수 있을 것으로 기대된다. 또는 집단 안에서 비슷한 성격의 직원들로 구성하여 그 구성원들의 서비스 교육진행에 있어 교육 횟수를 조절한다면 서비스 교육의 성과를 극대화 할 수 있을 것으로 예상할 수 있다. 마지막으로 교육생의 학력수준이 성격과 서비스 교육성과 간의 조절 작용여부를 검증한 결과 학력과는 무관한 것으로 나타났으며, 이는 교육생의 학력수준으로 서비스 교육의 성과를 결정하는 요소가 아님을 알 수 있다.

The purpose of this study is to examine the effect of service quality of banks on customer satisfaction and recommendation intention through empirical analysis. In particular, the focus was on the differences of the causal effect between PB(Private Banking) customers and regular customers. For this study, two groups were surveyed and 428 valid questionnaires were analyzed. The hypothesis was tested with a structural equation model using AMOS 23.0. As a result, empathy, reliability and tangibles of bank service quality had a positive(+) effect on customer satisfaction. However, responsiveness and assurance were not statistically significant. On the other hand, customer satisfaction has a positive effect on recommendation intention. This study was conducted to compare the two groups, PB customers and regular customers, and found a significant difference. In the PB customers group, tangibles had a positive effect on customer satisfaction, but no other factors were supported. On the other hand, in the regular customers group, empathy and reliability had a positive effect on customer satisfaction while responsiveness, assurance, and tangibles were not supported. Customer satisfaction were analyzed to have a positive influence on recommendation intention in both groups. These findings are academically significant by applying the SERVQUAL factors to banking services and revealing the differences between the PB customers and regular customers.
