This study aims to configure what dimensions make up for smart phone after service quality, and how this service quality affects customer satisfaction and customer loyalty. Smart phone market is a market of the device leading the digital convergence as well as positioning itself as one of the national growth driving industry. To survive in this matured market, companies should have to respond actively to radical changes and customers needs in the so-called Smart Revolution environment. Lately, however, the smart phone market is prospected to move from growth phase to mature phase by the scholars. In order to proactively respond to the change in such market condition, companies need to provide absolute advantage in customer loyalty over their competitors by revolutionizing the after-sales service quality. Qualified A/S will lead to service satisfaction and achieve customer loyalty. The empirical analysis results obtained through A/S quality are as follows : First, human quality (attitude, expertise, problem-solvability), environment quality (handling agility, convenience, comfort), service policy quality (quality guarantee, additional service operation) are dimensions that make up for A/S quality. Second, A/S quality dimension showed a significant positive influence on service satisfaction and A/S satisfaction showed a positive influence on customer loyalty as well. Based on this empirical study, we propose some implications for A/S quality improvement. First, human quality dimension has relatively higher influence on A/S satisfaction in case of free A/S, so companies need to solve the product problem completely when consumer’s first visit by continual employee education. Second, in case of paid A/S, the service policy quality-especially A/S Warranty period- has higher influence on A/S satisfaction.

목적: 본 연구를 통해 안경원들이 상생할 수 있는 방안을 제시하고자 한다. 특히 안경원의 물리적 환경(즉, 서비스스케이프)의 점검이라는 근본적인 진단을 통해 소비자 만족도와 충성도를 고취할 수 있는 방안을 확인하고자 하였으며, 고객의 다양성 요구에 대한 대응방안을 모색하고자 한다. 방법: 선행연구를 분석한 후 서비스 스케이프의 5개 요인(심미성, 편리성, 청결성, 공간배치, 주변환경)이 각각 소비자의 만족도와 충성도에 미치는 영향과 이들의 관계에서 검안법의 차이가 조절할 것이라는 연구모형을 설정하였다. 검안법 차이에 대해서는 아이세이버 안경체인이 적용하는 검안법과 일반안경원으로 구분하였습니다. 연구모형과 4개의 가설을 설정하고 일반안 경원 고객 100명과 아이세이버안경원의 100명을 대상으로 온라인 설문지를 작성 후 배포하였다. 통계 분석은 spss24와 아모스 24를 활용하였다. 결과: 서비스스케이프의 5가지 요인 중 편리성이 소비자 만족도와 충성도를 높이는 가장 중요한 요인으로 나타났다. 안경원 서비스스케이프와 소비자 만족도 및 충성도 각각의 관계에서 검안법 차이는 조절효과가 없는 것으로 나타났습니다. 각기 다른 검안법 서비스를 받는 고객들이 인지하는 안경원의 서비스스케이프 하위요인들에 대해서는 모든 요인에서 아이세이버안경원의 검안법을 제공받는 고객들이 더 높게 판단하는 것으로 나타났다. 특히, 심미성과 주변환경은 통계적으로 유의하게 차이가 있는 것으로 나타났다 (p<0.05). 결론: 본 연구를 통해 편리성이 소비자 만족도와 충성도를 높이는 가장 중요한 요인으로 확인 되었다. 따라서, 안경원 경영자와 안경사들은 고객의 관점에서 이동 동선과 위치적 접근성, 안내 자료의 위치 등을 우선적으로 고려한 후 기타 요인에 대한 투자와 관리가 필요할 것으로 고려된다. 서비스스케이프가 물리적 환경에 초점을 둔 것이며, 검안법은 비록 안경원의 경쟁력과 직결됨에도 불구하고 이들 인과관계에는 차이가 없는 것으로 해석된다. 하지만, 검안법의 차이가 안경원이 제공하는 물리적 환경을 좀 더 나은 것으로 인식할 가능성이 있을 것으로 사료된다.
