Su importancia, debido a su número de empresas, creación de empleos y emprendimientos, ha ocasionado que se genere un alto índice de competitividad. Esto provoca que se busquen estrategias para mejorar la calidad del servicio que ofrecen, con el propósito de retener y atraer clientes. El objetivo de este trabajo fue identificar los factores que conforman la percepción de la calidad en el servicio en un restaurante mexicano. Para ello, se utilizó el instrumento DINESERV, mediante un enfoque cuantitativo y un análisis factorial confirmatorio. Los resultados mostraron que el instrumento DINESERV es válido para restaurantes mexicanos. Asimismo, se detectaron los factores que integran el servicio al cliente, enfatizando los aspectos de tangibilidad, confiabilidad, respuesta y empatía. Características como personal competente y con experiencia, tener siempre presente los intereses del cliente y la apariencia de la vestimenta y limpieza del personal de servicio son elementos clave para que el restaurante genere mayor satisfacción en sus clientes.

ABSTRACT

Resumen La calidad en el servicio se considera una alternativa para que las empresas puedan obtener una ventaja competitiva y sostenible en un entorno económico globalizado. Las pequeñas y medianas empresas deben ofrecer una mayor calidad en el servicio que las empresas grandes, y así obtener la preferencia de los clientes. El objetivo de este estudio fue identificar la relación entre la variable calidad en el servicio y las variables satisfacción del cliente y lealtad del cliente. Se utilizó el coeficiente de correlación de Spearman y un método estadístico basado en análisis factorial exploratorio que apunta a extraer la varianza máxima del conjunto de datos dentro de cada factor. Los resultados permitieron observar una correlación altamente significativa, positiva y fuerte de la variable de calidad en el servicio con satisfacción del cliente (r = 0.820) y lealtad del cliente (r = 0.803). Un hallazgo importante también fue la asociación entre la dimensión aspectos tangibles con las variables satisfacción del cliente (r = 0.910) y lealtad del cliente (r = 0.919). Por otro lado, en el análisis factorial, a través de la varianza total explicada, se observó que el autovalor es superior a 1 en los cinco primeros casos, donde el porcentaje de la varianza alcanza un valor máximo de 54.886 % en su primer factor. Entonces, con cinco factores se consigue explicar un 73.713 % de la varianza de todos los datos originales. El estudio presentó la limitación de su aplicación en solo una empresa. Se confirmó que a través de una mejor atención y servicio al cliente, la calidad en el servicio constituye una excelente herramienta para la rentabilidad y sostenibilidad de la empresa.


Abstract Service quality is considered an alternative for companies to obtain a competitive and sustainable advantage in a globalized economic environment. Small and medium-sized enterprises must offer a higher quality of service than large companies, and thus obtain customer preference. The objective of this study was to identify the relationship between service quality variable and the customer satisfaction and customer loyalty variables. Spearman's correlation coefficient was used, and a statistical method based on exploratory factor analysis, aiming to extract the maximum variance of the data set within each factor. The results allowed observing a highly significant, positive, and strong correlation, with values of r = 0.820 and r = 0.803, between the variables of service quality, customer satisfaction, and customer loyalty. An important finding was the association between the tangible aspects dimension with the customer satisfaction and customer loyalty variables, with values of r = 0.910 and r = 0.919, respectively. On the other hand, in the factor analysis, through the explained total variance, it was observed that the eigenvalue is greater than 1 in the first five cases, where the percentage of the variance reaches a maximum value of 54.886 % in its first factor. Then, with five factors, 73.713 % of the variance of all the original data is explained. The study presented the limitation of its application in only one company. It was confirmed that, through better customer care and service, service quality constitutes an excellent tool for the profitability and sustainability of the organization.

ABSTRACT

This study examined the perception and behavior of fast food restaurant customers toward ordering kiosk nutrition information. Specifically, the influence of nutrition information transparency and information quality on behavioral intention and revisit intention were identified. In addition, the difference in the nutrition information transparency and information quality was analyzed according to the health consciousness of the customers. The study employed a self-administered survey that was distributed both online and offline from November 8~22, 2018. The sample of the study was customers who had experienced ordering from the kiosk in a fast food restaurant in the six months prior to taking the survey. A total of 250 (98.0%) respondents completed the survey, which was used for data analysis. As a result, there was a significant relation between transparency and nutrition information quality (P<0.001). The higher the visibility and inferability of the nutrition information, the better the nutrition information quality. Nutrition information quality has a significant impact on the levels of customer satisfaction and revisit intention (P<0.001). For the differences in the transparency and nutrition information quality by health consciousness of customers, the results indicated that groups with high health consciousness (3.74 or higher) perceived a higher transparency and nutritional information quality than those with a lower health consciousness. These findings can form the basis of a strategy in developing nutrition information of ordering kiosks in restaurants. In addition, it can be applied to academia and industry.

ABSTRACT

El propósito de este artículo es señalar que los pacientes también son clientes y que en realidad las decisiones las toman basadas en factores emocionales y no en los fríos y lógicos datos provenientes de los diagnósticos que hacen los Odontólogos.

ABSTRACT

The aim of this study is to determine the effective factors that influence the development of medical tourism in Georgia. Qualitative and quantitative methods were used for research. Within the qualitative research the experts of medical tourism were interviewed. Within the qualitative research this study investigates medical tourists’ expectations and perceptions regarding healthcare services. Study tools were prepared on the basis of specially developed “Medical Outcomes Study, Patient Satisfaction Questionnaire” (MOS PSQ-III). The results reveal that policies and regulations, government support, costs, capacity problems, and the healthcare needs of the local community are the main barriers to the development of such tourism. Several strategies for lifting these barriers are suggested, such as new promotional activity policies, government action to encourage investment in the medical tourism market, and cooperative efforts by the hospitality sector and medical institutions to develop medical tourism products. This paper sheds light on a poorly researched field in the Georgian context. It provides directions for hospital managers to develop strategies which will meet patients’ expectations of service quality and increase their competitiveness in the health tourism market.

ABSTRACT

Introduction: The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of cognitive rehabilitation for depression, cognitive function, ADL, and QOL in patients with post-stroke depression (PSD). In addition, we evaluated the effects of cognitive rehabilitation on customer satisfaction with long-term care facilities and rehabilitation.Methods: This study included 8 participants with PSD who were residents of a long-term care facility located in Ibaraki Prefecture, Japan. In addition to their ordinary rehabilitation (2 sessions per week, 20 minutes per session), participants underwent 36 sessions of cognitive rehabilitation (3 sessions per week, 20 minutes per session, for 12 weeks). Primary outcome measures: Depression severity was measured using the Geriatric Depression Scale (GDS), Zung Self Depression Scale (SDS), and the Depression Scale of the Japan Stroke Scale (JSS-D). Frontal lobe function was assessed using the Frontal Assessment Battery (FAB). Secondary outcome measures: QOL was assessed using SF-8. Customer Satisfaction with the rehabilitation was measured using the Customer Satisfaction Scale based on Need Satisfaction (CSSNS). Assessments were performed before and after the rehabilitation.Results: The severity scores of depression, frontal lobe function, and customer satisfaction with the rehabilitation all significantly improved after the cognitive rehabilitation sessions.Conclusions: The results obtained in this trial indicate that, for patients with PSD depressive symptoms, frontal lobe function, QOL, and rehabilitation customer satisfaction may be improved by the inclusion of cognitive rehabilitation sessions alongside regular rehabilitation.

ABSTRACT

PURPOSE: The purposes of this study were to investigate food consumption practices and analyze factors that influence customer satisfaction of an HACCP applied restaurant in a highway service area. METHODS: A total of 207 customer responses were used for data analysis. Statistical analyses were conducted using the SPSS program (ver. 22.0) for χ²-test, Pearson correlation analysis, and multiple regression analysis. RESULTS: Reasons for visiting the highway area were using the restroom (86.0%), purchasing of meals or snacks (70.1%), taking a rest (58.5%), and shopping (3.4%) and selection attributes of food sold in the highway service area were food taste (48.8%), food safety (33.3%), and waiting time for meal (10.7%). According to the results of the survey, udon (66.2%) was the most preferred meal, followed by instant noodles (56.0%), kimbap (50.7%), pork cutlet (38.2%), and bibimbap (29.0%). In addition, coffee (73.4%) was the most preferred among snacks and beverages, followed by beverages (58.9%), walnut cake (53.1%), mineral water (52.2%), and hotbar (52.2%). Satisfaction evaluation scores of foods sold in the highway service area were highest for appropriate portion size, followed by food safety, menu variety, food taste, and reasonable price. Overall customer satisfaction scores regarding the restaurant in the highway service area was 3.24 out of 5 points on average. According to the results of the multiple regressing analysis, food taste (p < 0.001) and reasonable price (p < 0.01) had significant positive effects on overall customer satisfaction. CONCLUSION: To enhance customer satisfaction, restaurant managers in the highway service area should implement HACCP, improve food taste, and set up a proper price for food sold at the restaurant in the highway service area.

ABSTRACT

In this study, we attempted to improve hospital food delivery service quality and customer satisfaction by using FMEA (Failure Mode and Effect Analysis), which is applied to the quality control of products in manufacturing plants. Subjective food delivery service quality improvement was judged based on a 5-point likert scale. Traditional FMEA uses an RPN (Risk priority number) to evaluate the risk level of a component or process. The RPN index was determined by calculating the product of severity, occurrence, and detection indexes. In our results, total RPN value (P<0.01) significantly decreased after FMEA introduction, whereas customer satisfaction (P<0.001) and food delivery service quality (P<0.001) significantly increased. Specifically, foodservice errors (P<0.01) and loss cost (P<0.01) were significantly improved by FMEA introduction. Taken together, we suggest that FMEA reduces critical activities and errors in foodservice delivery caused by simple priority selection.

ABSTRACT

Actualmente el comercio local está amenazado por la competencia de las grandes superficies, siendo crucial apostar por la satisfacción y lealtad. El objetivo del estudio fue elaborar un instrumento para evaluar la satisfacción y la lealtad en tiendas de alimentación y estudiar la influencia de variables sociodemográficas. Se aplicó una entrevista personal compuesta por 36 ítems agrupados en seis dimensiones: trato-clientela, instalaciones, producto, servicios, fidelidad y valor añadido, a 712 participantes. Las puntuaciones globales fueron positivas y homogéneas, destacando las escalas de producto, lealtad y trato-clientela, y siendo este último el factor más explicativo de la satisfacción. Los hombres y el grupo de 21-35 años presentan una menor satisfacción. Tres escalas se asocian positivamente con la escala de lealtad.

ABSTRACT

We performed customer satisfaction surveys for physicians and nurses regarding clinical laboratory services, and for outpatients who used phlebotomy services at a tertiary care unit level to evaluate our clinical laboratory and phlebotomy services. Thus, we wish to share our experiences with the customer satisfaction survey for clinical laboratory and phlebotomy services. Board members of our laboratory designed a study procedure and study population, and developed two types of questionnaire. A satisfaction survey for clinical laboratory services was conducted with 370 physicians and 125 nurses by using an online or paper questionnaire. The satisfaction survey for phlebotomy services was performed with 347 outpatients who received phlebotomy services by using computer-aided interviews. Mean satisfaction scores of physicians and nurses was 58.1, while outpatients' satisfaction score was 70.5. We identified several dissatisfactions with our clinical laboratory and phlebotomy services. First, physicians and nurses were most dissatisfied with the specimen collection and delivery process. Second, physicians and nurses were dissatisfied with phlebotomy services. Third, molecular genetic and cytogenetic tests were found more expensive than other tests. This study is significant in that it describes the first reference survey that offers a survey procedure and questionnaire to assess customer satisfaction with clinical laboratory and phlebotomy services at a tertiary care unit level.

ABSTRACT

<b>Objective</b> : It is not known whether residents in geriatric facilities are satisfied with the rehabilitation they receive. The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between their satisfaction with facility services and their satisfaction with the rehabilitation they receive in geriatric facilities. An additional aim was to identify the factors related to customer satisfaction with rehabilitation.<br><b>Methods</b> : One hundred residents in 19 geriatric facilities participated in this study. After obtaining informed consent from the residents, we conducted semi-structured interviews which included scales for facility services satisfaction, customer satisfaction with rehabilitation, and the Geriatric Depression Scale (GDS). The characteristics and conditions of the residents were investigated by interviewing the facilities' staff. For statistical analysis, we used Spearman's, rank correlation test, and multiple regression analysis.<br><b>Results</b> : Sixty-seven percent of the subjects were women, and the mean age (±SD) was 78.2±10.4 years. Multiple regression analysis revealed that the total customer satisfaction with rehabilitation score was associated with facility service satisfaction (β=0.232, p<0.05). Significant associations were also observed with “female”(β=0.198, p<0.05), “support counselors” (β=0.269, p<0.01), and “GDS” score (β=-0.291, P< 0.01). Customer satisfaction with rehabilitation was associated with “age” (β=-0.296, p<0.01), “BI” (β=0.261, p<0.01), “satisfaction with rehabilitation time” (β=0.254, p<0.01), “satisfaction with the training environment” (β=0.206, p<0.05), “toilet training” (β=0.210, p<0.05), “bathing training” (β=-0.252, p<0.01), and “GDS” score (β=-0.258, p<0.01).<br><b>Conclusion</b> : Customer satisfaction with rehabilitation was significantly associated with facility service satisfaction in geriatric facilities.<br>These data suggest that rehabilitation is an important service in geriatric facilities, and supplying a sufficient number of hours of rehabilitation and having adequate facilities for rehabilitation were important for improving satisfaction with rehabilitation services in geriatric facilities.
