Em paralelo a este fenômeno, identifica-se um aumento significativo nas exigências dos clientes com a qualidade na prestação dos serviços, impulsionando as organizações a focarem sua estratégia para o alcance da satisfação dos consumidores. Neste sentido, as empresas têm buscado o emprego de técnicas capazes de avaliar a qualidade em serviços. Partindo desse pressuposto, este trabalho teve como objetivo propor um modelo que integre a Escala SERVQUAL e o Modelo de Kano com o método de Desdobramento da Função Qualidade (QFD), a fim de mensurar a qualidade em serviços de saúde, no segmento de laboratórios de análises clínicas. A Escala SERVQUAL, tem o objetivo de identificar as lacunas entre as expectativas e percepções dos clientes. O Modelo de Kano categoriza os atributos de acordo com o seu nível de satisfação. O método QFD, observa a correlação entre os requisitos dos clientes e as características da qualidade do serviço. A aplicação do modelo proposto permitiu a análise dos principais requisitos exigidos e identificou quais seriam os prioritários para o alcance da satisfação dos clientes. A junção dessas ferramentas se revela útil para orientar os gestores na elaboração de estratégias competitivas e melhoria contínua.

On the other hand, private institutions compete to answer a demand increasingly demanding and so invest more in improving the quality of services provided. In this context, the quality of public education needs to be achieved to ensure the formation of citizens able to the labour market, since there is high demand for qualified professionals. This work had as main objective to investigate the applicability of the SERVQUAL methodology on adult and youth education in a public school of the northern zone of Manaus. The survey was conducted with students of the night shift of a municipal school serving young people, adults and the elderly. For the accomplishment of this work some steps were followed: bibliographic survey, construction of a model of quality evaluation for use in research, qualitative and quantitative study, collection and analysis of data obtained. The data collection instrument was the structured questionnaire adapted from the SERVQUAL model, it is universal and can be applied in any service organisation, and seeks to assess the level of perceived quality of respondents. The data obtained showed that, although there is positive perception of students as the care and commitment of school about the services provided, it is still necessary to invest mainly in infrastructure, resources and learning activities, and on-site security. It is expected that the results and the suggestions for improvement submitted might contribute to the management of educational services regarding the evaluation of the perceived quality and the school management in the organization. / No Brasil, o setor de educação pública básica tem criado uma oferta crescente de vagas anualmente. Por outro lado, as instituições privadas competem para atender uma demanda cada vez mais exigente e por isso investem mais na melhoria da qualidade dos serviços prestados. Nesse contexto, a qualidade do ensino público precisa ser atingida para garantir a formação de cidadãos aptos ao mercado de trabalho, visto que existe elevada demanda por profissionais qualificados. Este trabalho teve como objetivo principal investigar a aplicabilidade da metodologia SERVQUAL na Educação de Jovens e Adultos de uma escola pública da zona norte de Manaus. A pesquisa foi realizada com estudantes do turno noturno de uma escola municipal que atende jovens, adultos e idosos. Para a realização deste trabalho alguns passos foram seguidos: levantamento bibliográfico do tema, construção de um modelo de avaliação da qualidade a ser utilizado na pesquisa, estudo qualitativo e quantitativo, coleta e análise dos dados obtidos. O instrumento de coleta de dados foi o questionário estruturado adaptado do modelo SERVQUAL, que é universal e pode ser aplicado em qualquer organização de serviços, e visa avaliar o nível de qualidade percebida dos entrevistados. Os dados obtidos evidenciaram que, embora haja percepção positiva dos estudantes quanto ao atendimento e comprometimento da escola quanto aos serviços prestados, ainda é preciso investir principalmente em infraestrutura, recursos e atividades de aprendizagem, e segurança no local. Espera-se que os resultados e as sugestões de melhoria apresentados possam contribuir para a área de gestão de serviços educacionais quanto à avaliação da qualidade percebida e também à gestão escolar da organização analisada.

The highly competitive landscape of the automotive industry places increasing pressure on automotive dealerships to continually improve the quality of services rendered to customers. Understanding customer expectations and customer perceptions is key to making improvements in areas that matter most to the customer. It is against this background that this study was conducted. The aim of this research was to measure service quality at automotive dealerships. The literature review focused on the gaps model which resulted in the SERVQUAL measuring tool. The SERVQUAL instrument is supported by literature as the optimal instrument for measuring service quality. The 22-item questionnaire was adapted and used to solicit feedback from customers on their expectations and perceptions of the service rendered by dealerships across the five SERVQUAL dimensions; namely, tangibles, reliability, responsiveness, empathy and assurance. Gaps between customer expectations and perceptions were calculated as an indication of areas where customer expectations were met, unmet or exceeded. In order to identify priorities for improvement, each of the SERVQUAL dimensions was ranked in order of importance by the customer. Convenience sampling was used as a sampling technique. A total of 142 Volkswagen owners who had their vehicles serviced or repaired at a franchised dealership were surveyed. The reliability of the SERVQUAL questionnaire was tested by calculating the Cronbach’s Alpha coefficient for each of the five dimensions. The calculation yielded an average coefficient of 0.83, indicating a high reliability of the measuring instrument and the data collected. The overall gap score of -0.7 indicates that customer expectations exceeded customer perceptions. The lowest customer perceptions and the largest gaps were reported in the reliability and responsiveness dimensions. These two dimensions were also rated as the most important dimensions customers use for evaluating service quality. This formed the basis for recommending that dealership employees and management focus most of their efforts on improving the reliability and responsiveness dimensions.

Nesse contexto, devem ser inseridos os serviços externos e os serviços internos, esses últimos caracterizados pela relação cliente-fornecedor interno. Este trabalho aborda a importância das empresas dedicarem maior atenção à qualidade na prestação dos serviços internos fornecidos aos próprios funcionários. Subsidiado por um referencial teórico e com base no Modelo Conceitual da Qualidade de Serviços (Modelo de Gap), foi realizada uma avaliação, utilizando a escala SERVQUAL, com um grupo de clientes internos, sobre a qualidade dos serviços que recebem de um departamento de apoio computacional de uma empresa da região de Campinas. A análise dos dados permitiu observar que, do ponto de vista dos usuários, não há qualidade satisfatória dos serviços prestados pelo departamento. Algumas recomendações foram apresentadas ao departamento, de forma que a empresa possa reavaliar seus processos e prestar serviços com qualidade aos seus funcionários, para que estes, conseqüentemente, possam oferecer excelente atendimento aos clientes externos / Abstract: The importance of service economy in several countries leads the companies towards to service quality, which search to improve the ability of satisfying its customers needs as a competitive differentiation factor. We can inc1ude in this context external and internal services, these last ones characterized by the internal provider-customer relationship. This work is an approach about the importance of companies in dedicate more attention to quality in internal services delivery which have been provided to its own employees. Based on theoretical references and on the Conceptual Model of Service Quality (Gap Model), was carried out an evaluation applying the SERVQUAL instrument with a internal customers group, about the service quality they receive from a technical support department of a company located in the Campinas region. Data analysis have allowed to observe that, by the internal customer point of view, the quality of services provided by the department is not good. Some recommendation were presented to the department, in order to allow it an evaluation of its processes and provide services with quality to its customers and those consequently providing good services to the external customers / Mestrado / Gestão da Qualidade Total / Mestre Profissional em Engenharia Mecanica

Thesis (MTech (Business Administration))--Cape Peninsula University of Technology, 2019 / Over the last decade, business process outsourcing (BPO) has become increasingly important in the South African context. For economic and strategic reasons, organisations have embraced an outsourcing strategy as one of their core activities in order to be competitive in the business arena. On this matter, the standard of services delivered by BPOs is crucial to achieve customer satisfaction. However, the lack of effective quality management practices, which impact on service delivery negatively, ultimately paves the way for customer dissatisfaction with service quality in BPOs. This issue needs to be considered carefully by BPOs. Thus, this study has investigated employee perceptions in relation to the key measurements for service quality, namely reliability, responsiveness, assurance, empathy and tangibles through the SERVQUAL model to measure the quality of service delivery at a BPO in Cape Town, South Africa. A quantitative research method was applied and data were collected through a semi-structured survey questionnaire from the group of employees (n=188) at the selected BPO in Cape Town. The statistical software program SPSS Version 25 and Microsoft Excel were used for data analysis. Descriptive statistical results were generated as well as the validity and reliability of the dataset determined. The research findings revealed that the key factors to which particular attention needs to be given are reliability, responsiveness, assurance and empathy. It is revealed that it is imperative for the BPO to intensify continual training and skills development for their employees. Given the findings of these key factors as focus areas for good practice, this study has drawn special attention to the selected BPO and other BPOs in the South African context to advance their service quality to maintain their services up to standard and to remain competitive. The research could benefit BPOs in South Africa and Africa in general as more and more companies are outsourcing their services on the continent.
