Hung, Dong-Shing 27 August 2001 (has links)
Over the past years, the rapid transformation in social vironment and the vigorous political development have stimulated the public to raise their demand for the government¡¦s administration and service quality. In order to elevate administrative effectiveness, increase competitiveness,and satisfy the public¡¦s demand for service quality, the government has undergone government renovation, the implementation of ¡§electronic government¡¨being part of this movement. Household administration, tax collection, traffic administration, and land administration are examples of computerization. Moreover, because the government budget is limited and affairs of land administration are complicated, it took more time to computerize land administration affairs. However, it has been implemented for some time, and the ¡§effectiveness¡¨is to be evaluated. ¡@¡@This study was to evaluate the effectiveness and quality of the service rendered by the Land Affairs Administration of Kaohsiung County after it implemented computerization. There are various scale methods which can be used to evaluate performance and degree of satisfaction. This study adopted the PZB model, proposed by Parsuraman, Zeithaml and Berry¡]1985¡^to analyze the differences in the cognition of service quality among the public, land administration supervisors, and employees. The finding would serve as scientific foundation for the land affairs administration to improve its service quality. The major finding was classified into four categories: (1) Some of the 25 survey items in Gap 1 and Gap 2 of service quality were rejected, (2) All the 25 survey items in Gap 3 and Gap 5 of service quality were rejected; (3) The satisfaction gap of the public was larger than that of paralegal service and brokers, (4) After examining the variance of sex, age, and education of the public, it was found that age was the most powerful varable. ¡@¡@This study found that the land administration supervisors obtained higher average scores on emphasizing service quality than those obtained by their public and employees counterparts, indicating that the supervisors attached more importance to service quality than the other 25 survey items, indicating that the administration should work hard to make things better. In addition, the public¡¦s mean score of satisfaction the brokers, indicating that the public were less satisfied than the paralegal service with the service quality offered by the land administration. This could be caused by the public¡¦s unfamiliarity with land administration laws and operating procedures, and has produced the differences in the cognition of service quality. The land affairs administration should pay attention to this phenomenon. The performance of land affairs administration offices should be evaluated based on the viewpoint of the public in order to provide service that meets the public¡¦s expectations.

Exploring the Service Quality for the Virtual Government ¡@¡@¡@¡@¡@¡@¡@Abstract ¡@¡@The virtual government has been defined as the citizen services provider on the Internet. In addition to its 24-hour and 7-day everlasting service hours, it has also reinvented the ways governmental agencies deliver their services. The citizens, without any limitation of service hours and physical locations, are entitled to get access to the online governmental services such as information inquiry, online service delivery, and paperless office. The virtual government has indeed played an important role between public agencies and citizens. ¡@¡@This thesis aim to explore the citizens requirements and evaluation for the virtual government. Based on the PZB model and SERVQUAL measures of service quality, this study proposes a conceptual framework and empirical measures that assess the online governmental services. The results have shown that: ¡Ð On the dimensions for service quality: Five dimensions for measuring online governmental services quality are extracted based on factor analysis of the 24-item questionnaire. They are system functions, convenience to citizens, reliability, efficiency, and attraction. ¡Ð On the model for service quality: Based on factor analysis and 1-way analysis of variance, citizens overall satisfaction is not significantly related to their perceived service quality. The results suggest that the overall satisfaction can be evaluated directly from citizens¡¦ expected service quality due to the fact that their expected and perceived quality of online governmental services do not differ substantially. Keywords: virtual government, service quality, PZB model, SERVQUAL

There is a significant difference between the readers and the librarians in service personnel and service quality. 3.

The factors affecting the reading behavior of interviewees are motive, living style, subject, best-seller, and specific author. Motive is the most influential one. Most of the reading motives are for fun, personal interest, experience enriching and knowledge broadening. That finding shows that obtaining the feeling of happiness from reading is the motive for interviewees to continue to read. The changing cognition of reading service quality is consequent on readers¡¦ experience and communication. Therefore, it is a continuously hard-working process. The administrators of the library should be kept informed frequently about readers¡¦ needs by conducting surveys, studies and communicating with the personnel in service. And, in order to meet readers¡¦ demands, the library should transform the needs to services measures to raise the level of readers¡¦ satisfaction and increase their interest in reading.
