<p>This Thesis is about improvement Quality Service from the perspective of the customer satisfaction. This is motivated in a service company that has some problems measuring customer satisfaction in a quality of service. We believe that customer satisfaction is related with the quality of service, and measuring can be used like a advantage for Quality improvement. To archive this we present some theoretical background about Quality, some tools for quality improvement, some tools for measuring customer satisfaction. Our empirical findings are focused on how our case company tried to use these approaches. During the analysis we compare these information and we’ll see if there is a correlation between the different authors and how the company works. We’ll see that they work very well with TQM, Six Sigma, they use some approaches of SERVQUAL and CSM. Also we’ll apply QFD that relates the customer needs and expectations, and the Service Characteristics, identified previously. The results are based both in SERVQUAL and QFD. For instance, the lack of communication between the customers and company is the main gap regarding how to measure the customer satisfaction. Some tips about how to measure the customer satisfaction and other recommendations are given at the end. The conclusions are the benefits that we obtain from combining the SERVQUAL and QFD method, because we believe that both work very well together due to it becomes a powerful tool that is telling if the customer is satisfied or not. Aside it is telling us where we should act to improve the quality of service and therefore the customer satisfaction. The work presented is based on the interview with our contact person. Several observations were made regarding the measurement method that they are using.</p> / <p>Den här uppsatsen handlar om förbättring av servicekvalitet sett utifrån ett konsumenttillfredsställelseperspektiv. Detta är motiverat i ett tjänsteföretag som har problem med att mäta konsumenttillfredställelse i form av servicekvalitet. Vi tror att konsumenttillfredställelse är relaterat till kvaliteten på servicen, och att en mätning av denna kan användas som en fördel för kvalitetsförbättring. För att åstadkomma detta presenterar vi en teoretisk bakgrund om kvalitet, en del verktyg för kvalitetsförbättring samt en del verktyg för att mäta konsumenttillfredställelse. Vårt empiriska underlag är fokuserat på hur vårt exempelföretag har gått tillväga i arbetet med dessa verktyg. I analysdelen jämför vi informationen för att se om det existerar en korrelation mellan de olika författarna och hur företaget arbetar. Vi noterar att de arbetar väl med TQM, Six Sigma och att de använder en del av aspekterna i SERVQUAL och CSM. Dessutom kommer vi att applicera QFD som relaterar konsumenternas behov och förväntningar till serviceegenskaper, som tidigare identifierats. Resultatet är baserat både på SERVQUAL och CSM. Exempelvis är bristen på kommunikation mellan konsumenterna och företaget det främsta gapet beträffande mätningen av konsumenttillfredställelse. Rekommendationer angående mätningen av konsumenttillfredställelse och andra förslag ges i slutet av uppsatsen. Slutsatserna är de fördelar som vi fått fram genom att kombinera metoderna SERVQUAL och QFD, två metoder som fungerar bra tillsammans och blir ett kraftfullt verktyg, som kan ge svar på om konsumenten är tillfredsställd eller ej. Dessutom visar det hur vi ska agera för att förbättra servicekvaliteten, och därmed konsumenternas tillfredställelse. Uppsatsen är baserad på intervjun med vår kontaktperson. Flertalet observationer har genomförts av den mätmetod som företaget använder sig av.</p>

Studien syftar till att klargöra och undersöka attribut som kan ha relevant betydelse för den unga kundens kvalitetsupplevelse av den personliga servicen i fast fashion-butiker. Denna studie baseras på kvantitativ metod med en deduktiv ansats. Hypoteser har formats som en metod att testa det teoretiska ramverket. Hypoteserna testas genom en webbenkät, som besvaras av 210 respondenter. Studien visar att det inte finns en korrelation mellan det initiala mötet med personalen och den upplevda servicekvaliten för den unga kunden i fast fashion-butiker. Tjänstvillighet och kunskap har dock båda signifikant korrelation med den upplevda servicekvaliteten för den unga kunden i fast fashion-butiker.

本論文利用研究服務品質的「缺口模型」（PZB Model或Gap Model），篩選近半年內某一月成交量超過新台幣伍千萬元以上之A金控證券商公司法人部客戶。利用SERVQUAL量表以選擇題式問卷對特定族群做訪談來收集資料，以期找出台灣證券市場中，成交重心客戶群對證券商五大服務構面（即有形性、可靠性、反應性、保證性、關懷性）之22個量表項目的重視程度。研究結論發現，投資者的「期望服務水準」與「認知服務水準」間確實具有顯著差異。其次，從服務缺口分析來看，二項最需要改善的項目分別屬於「關懷性」與「可靠性」二構面。 此外，從服務缺口差距較小（服務品質較高）的項目來看，「有形性」問項，對投資者的期望相對來說都最低。因此，對於「有形性」構面，管理者可以在其他缺口較大的項目改進到一定的服務水準之後，再來考慮提升其服務品質。進一步將服務構面與證券商交易頻率進行迴歸分析。結果發現，服務品質與投資者和證券商交易頻率之間有顯著關係，而各構面中，只有「信任性」達顯著水準，故可推論若金控證券商在信任性構面因素表現愈好，則投資者和證券商再次交易的意願愈強烈。 最後，由單因數變異數分析，探討各人口統計變數與服務品質構面的影響，發現性別、與證券商交易頻率、同時與多少家證券商交易等因素，對金控證券商服務品質的評估有顯著差異。 / This study aims to analyze service quality of a financial holding security company’s institutional department. Using PZB Model and SERVQUAL scale presented to measure customer satisfaction of the study. SERVQUAL scale is used to evaluate service quality, which is defined as “perceived service quality” is the difference between customers “perceptions” and “expectations.” The research used these two elements to evaluate service quality and customers satisfaction, and to take perception-minus- expectations measurement of service quality as an improving index. This study proposed the five dimensions including tangibility, reliability, responsiveness, assurance and empathy. The analyzed result revealed that there were obvious differences between service expectation and perceived service performance, and had to improve two dimensions: “empathy” and “reliability.” In addition, customers had more satisfactions with “tangibility,” means managers should improve firstly other service dimensions with less satisfactions. Meanwhile, according to the regression analysis, this study showed there had a significant difference between service quality and transaction frequencies with security companies. If financial holding security company can improved the “reliability,” the investors would have more willingness to deal with. Finally, according to One-Way ANOVA analysis, this study showed that there were also some obvious difference between the population statistic variables (gender, transaction frequencies and numbers of security companies), service expectation, perceived service performance and overall satisfaction of maintenance.
