Relationship marketing has been dealt with as an effective strategy for customer loyalty in prior research. It seems to be essential that organizations should make efforts to develop successful relationship between the organizations and the customers. However, a customers' voluntary efforts are also needed to strengthen the relationship meaningfully. Relationships are built on the foundations of mutuality. In other words, customers' efforts are necessary for relationship development, as well as an organization's efforts. Hereby, the role of customers for the development of a relationship with an organization has been overlooked in previous research so far. This study applied the Self-Determination Theory (SDT) to explain the role of customer motivation in developing customer relationship. Thus, the author chose customers who have experienced medical service recently as survey participants. Then, this paper verified the path relationships between self-determination factors (autonomy, perceived competence, relatedness) and relational factors(shared responsibility, commitment, relationship retention). It suggested that role of customers is inevitable in developing the relationship. In conclusion, this research has several implications on relationship marketing. For service providers, they should understand that the customer's perceived self-determination can improve tangible and intangible performance in relationship development.

This study focused on the relationships of the effects of DINESERV quality upon customer satisfaction, revisit intention and word-of-mouth intention. In addition, it examined the potential mediation effects of customer satisfaction between DINESERV quality and revisit intention and between DINESERV quality and word-of-mouth intention. To meet the above goals, customers who visited 27 Korean restaurants in Jeonju city were surveyed. Total 428 valid copies of questionnaire were then obtained and used for the data analysis using SPSS and AMOS 16.0 for 2-stage analysis. As a result, it was found that some potential factors of DINESERV, such as service encounter, atmosphere and food quality had significant effects on customer satisfaction, but there was no significant effect in the relationship between DINESERV quality and revisit intention; convenience, a potential factor of DINESERV, had a significant effect on word-of-mouth intention; customer satisfaction had a significant effect on revisit intention and word-of-mouth intention; service encounter, atmosphere and food quality had indirect effects on revisit intention and word-of-mouth intention by way of mediation effects of customer satisfaction.

전력산업 구조개편이 진행된 이후 전력IT 분야에도 많은 이해관계자들이 형성되었으며, 내 외부의 많은 고객들이 형성되었다. 또한 전력시장운영과 계통운영을 위한 IT설비는 고도로 발달하여 손쉽게 이해하고 사용하기 어려울 정도로 복잡해지고 고도화 되었다. 이러한 상황에서 전력IT 분야에 대한 고객서비스를 향상 전략으로 고객과의 최접점에서 고객을 알고 고객을 지원하기 위해 전력IT 고객서비스센터를 설치하여 운영하게 되었다. 많은 예산과 인력이 투입되는 본격적인 콜센터나 서비스 데스크를 도입하기에 앞서 기존의 업무체계와 인력재배치를 통해 전력IT 분야에 대한 콜센터인 "전력IT 고객서비스센터"를 운영하여 효과적으로 고객서비스 요청에 응대하여 고객만족도 향상을 기대할 수 있을 것이며, 또한 여러 조직에서 비용과 인력을 사용하지 않고 쉽게 적용해 볼 수 있는 모델이 될 수 있을 것이다.

현재 우리나라의 IT 정보화는 세계 1위의 브로드밴드(초고속 인터넷) 이용국이 될 정도로 빠르게 변모하면서 정치, 사회, 문화 뿐만 아니라 시장 경제에 상당한 영향을 미치고 있다. 특히 소비자의 소비생활형태에도 큰 변화를 가져왔으며 또한 그에 따른 소비자의 인식이 높아지면서 소비자가 시장경제 주체로서의 소비자 주권시대를 열었다. 이러한 IT정보를 기반으로한 소비 문화의 변화와 소비 주체의식의 고취는 정부의 소비자관련 정책과 또 기업의 경영에도 상당한 영향을 미치게 되었다. 그러나 현재 많은 기업들이 소비자에 대한 인식과 그에 대한 대응의 필요성은 인식하고 있으나 실질적인 소비자 대응에 대한 전문성 강화를 위한 인식 및 투자나 기업 입장에서의 실질적인 소비에 대한 연구 및 교육활동도 아직까지는 매우 소극적이고 미흡한 것이 사실이다. 따라서 회사 내의 고객 접점에서의 고객상담의 중요성과 응대 실무에 대해 정리해보았다.

This study examines the effects of customer citizenship behavior and customer badness behavior on service employees' emotional dissonance and job burnout. To achieve this, a survey was empirically carried out to 338 foodservice employees. The overall findings were as follows. First, the customer citizenship behavior had a significant effect on the emotional dissonance of service employees. Second, the customer citizenship behavior had no significant effect on job burnout. Third, the customer badness behavior had a significant effect on the emotional dissonance. Fourth, the customer bad behavior had a significant effect on the job burnout. Fifth, the emotional dissonance had a significant effect on job burnout of service employees. These results confirmed the importance of customer citizenship behavior and customer badness behavior in the foodservice industry. This suggests that the customer badness behavior has a significant effect on the emotional dissonance and job burnout, leading to the deterioration of quality in the foodservice industry that pursues the unconditional suppression of service employees' emotion or customer-centered operating strategies. Therefore, strategic systemization is required in terms of promoting civil behavior on behalf of customers through positive interaction and induce contribution behavior through loyal service.

최근 들어 CRM이 확산됨에 따라 고객과의 접점에서 업무를 담당하는 콜센터의 중요성이 커지고 있으며, 정보기술이 발전함에 따라 콜센터 본연의 업무를 넘어서 콜센터에 새로운 역할이 부가되고 있다. 지금까지 콜센터에는 기계와의 커뮤니케이션에서 발생하는 거부감, 과다한 대기시간, 새로운 통신수단들로 인한 콜센터의 기능약화, 적절한 정보의 적시 사용의 어려움, 기술투자 선행작업의 미약 등의 문제점이 지적되었다. 하지만 무엇보다도 가장 큰 문제점은 명확하게 수립된 경영전략과 운영전략이 없었다는 것이다. 이에, 고객, 서비스 전략, 인적 자원, 프로세스, 정보기술 등 다섯 가지 영역으로 나누어 다른 기업과의 차별화를 달성할 수 있는 콜센터의 경영전략을 수립해야 한다. 고객의 측면에서는 만족되지 않고 있던 고객욕구를 경쟁기업보다 앞서 제공해야 하고, 서비스 전략 측면에서는 고객과의 거래비용을 줄여줄 수 있는 전략이 필요하다. 인적자원 측면에서는 보다 전문적인 서비스를 제공할 수 있는 능력을 보유한 종업원을 콜센터에 배치해야 하며, 프로세스 측면에서는 콜센터를 통해 업무창구를 일원화하는 방향으로 업무 프로세스를 리엔지니어링 해야 한다. 끝으로 정보기술 측면에서는 인터넷과 콜센터를 통합할 수 있는 방안을 모색해야 한다. 그리고 이상과 같은 경영전략 하에 구축된 콜센터의 성과를 극대화하기 위해서 필요한 8가지 운영전략을 도출하였다.

Service marketing is the important part in relationship marketing researches because it can make not only a functional aspect, but a social connection with customers as well through the interactive process in service encounters.
