  • The purpose of this study was to examine the level of importance of service quality provided by restaurant when industry meal service recipients used the restaurant. Additionally, the purpose was to compare the level of satisfaction on the respective service qualities of company cafeteria and outside restaurant. The level of relative importance and satisfaction of service quality attributes are comparatively analyzed using the Important-Performance Analysis (IPA) of customers in order to provide basic information on the direction of marketing to efficiently operate company foodservice facilities. Restaurant service qualities were divided into the six factors of hygiene, convenience, food, environment, subsidiary services and food distribution process. The results revealed that the 'environment' of both company cafeteria and outside restaurant was needed to improve as quickly as possible. Additionally, it was found that the level of satisfaction was higher in the 'food' and 'environment' factors when using company cafeteria and outside restaurants, which would become an important attribute for the company foodservice recipients to use outside restaurants than using company cafeteria. Accordingly, it could be said that company cafeteria will need further control of the 'food' and 'environment' factors.

  • Purpose: The purpose of this study is to derive various ways to realize customer satisfaction for the development of the service industry by exploring research trends related to customer satisfaction, which is presented as an important goal in the service industry. Research design, data and methodology: To this end, 1,456 papers with English abstracts using scienceON were used for analysis. Using Python 3.7, word frequency and co-occurrence analysis were confirmed, and topics related to research trends were classified through BERTopic and LDA. Results: As a result of word frequency and co-occurrence frequency analysis, words such as quality, intention, and loyalty appeared frequently. As a result of BERTopic and LDA, 11 topics such as 'catering service' and 'brand justice' were derived. As a result of trend analysis, it was confirmed that 'brand justice' and 'internet shopping' are emerging as relatively important research topics, but CRM is less interested. Conclusions: The results of this study showed that the 7P marketing strategy is working to some extent. Therefore, it is proposed to conduct research related to acquisition of good customers through service price, customer lifetime value application, and customer segmentation that are expected to be needed for the development of the service industry.

  • This research intends to examine and analyze the service quality effect on petrol buying intention through satisfaction when the Maranatha Christian University lecturers spend their money in the Pertamina-affiliated gas stations in Bandung. To attain this goal, we develop four relevant hypotheses to be tested. Furthermore, we use simple random sampling to acquire samples by denoting a sample size set by the Slovin formula. To collect the responses, we use the online survey and fruitfully yield a 53.54% rate with a total of 106 lecturers participating in completing the distributed questionnaire link. This number is near 100; hence, we employ a structural equation model with a variance basis to analyze them. After examining the data and conferring the results, we conclude three things. First, service quality does not affect purchasing intention, but customer satisfaction positively does. Second, service quality has a positive impact on customer satisfaction. Finally, consumer satisfaction successfully mediates the effect of service quality on the intention to buy. Based on these conclusions, this paper finds the superior service to the petrol buyers is the key driver for the gas stations under Pertamina control to effectively compete with their rivals in the marketplace, especially in Bandung.

  • The service industry has been acknowledged as a critical part of mobile banking services in recent years. This study examines the impact of e-service quality and loyalty on the intention to use and use behavior of mobile banking services in Mongolia, a Central Asian country. As a result, based on past research, a conceptual model was suggested. This study comprises 209 completed questionnaires from young Mongolians who own a bank account and a smartphone. The data was collected based on convenience sampling, and it was analyzed with SmartPLS software using a partial least squares-structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM) technique. The findings indicate that system quality, interface design, and security assurance have a significant positive impact on service quality; service quality has a positive impact on loyalty. Moreover, the results reveal that service quality and loyalty have a significant influence on the intention to use mobile banking services. The findings of this study suggest that local or international banks and financial institutions in Mongolia should consider system quality, interface design, and security concerns as key successors to building perceived security quality to retain current mobile banking users and attract new customers.
