The two-way quality theory has been widely used as a method for classifying quality attributes for several decades. In particular, the Kano model that classifies attributes into not just conventional one-dimensional but must-be and attractive has gained popularity due to its applicability and ease of use. However, the wordings of the five alternatives in the Kano's questionnaire has been criticised for unclear meanings. This study proposes a new two-way model to classify attributes using 5-point Likert scale alternatives. For this, the current paper investigated a case of TV sets to examine how the proposed model works in comparison with the Kano model. The application results of the proposed model are different from the original one. The two-way model classifies quality attributes in more detail such as the “one-dimensional with an attractive tendency” attribute, which has a greater influence on satisfaction than dissatisfaction, the opposite “one-dimensional with a must-be tendency” attribute, and “highly one-dimensional” and “less one-dimensional” attributes. In this study, a potential satisfaction coefficient (PSC), a potential dissatisfaction coefficient (PDC), and an average potential coefficient (APC) to manage quality attributes are proposed and discussed for their utilization.
The purposes of this study was to identify the level of satisfaction with the food quality in a company cafeteria located in Daejon. 400 people were given questionnaires, of which 341 questionnaires were returned for analysis (90.25% response rate). Our results show, 85.63% of customers eat at the cafeteria more than 3~4 times per week. 48.68% of people surveyed chose their meal based on the proximity when they enter the cafeteria. 39.59% said the most important factor for eating at the cafeteria was taste. 33.72% said it was quality. The type of food that was leftover the most was ‘Guk’ (soup). 52.20% said ‘Guk’ was leftover due to the awful taste. Food quality (34.60%) and taste (34.02%) required the most improvement according to those surveyed. Additionally, we divided food quality into 3 factors: ‘sanitation & service’, ‘food’, and ‘menu composition’. People who marked down ‘no other place to eat’ was the reason they ate at the cafeteria also had the lowest satisfaction scores across all items (p<0.001). Improving the ‘Guk’ and ‘meat’ was rated as the most important criteria to improve satisfaction with leftover food. Unsurprisingly, the ‘taste’ of leftover food had the lowest satisfaction scores. Those who had the lowest quality satisfaction scores also wanted to improve ‘taste’, ‘quality’ and ‘sanitation’ the most (p<0.001). Based on these findings, the foodservice manager can increase the overall satisfaction with the cafeteria food by focusing on improving the taste, quality and sanitation of the food that it serves.

Decision Tree is one of analysis techniques which conducts grouping and prediction into several sub-groups from interested groups. Researcher can easily understand this progress and explain than other techniques. Because Decision Tree is easy technique to see results. This paper uses CART algorithm which is one of data mining technique. It used 273 variables and 70094 data(2010-2011) of working environment survey conducted by Korea Occupational Safety and Health Agency(KOSHA). And then refines this data, uses final 12 variables and 35447 data. To find satisfaction factor in working environment, this page has grouped employee to 3 types (under 30 age, 30 ~ 49age, over 50 age) and analyzed factor. Using CART algorithm, finds the best grouping variables in 155 data. It appeared that ‘comfortable in organization’ and ‘proper reward’ is the best grouping factor.
최근 들어 사용자 경험에 대한 관심과 중요성이 많이 부각되면서 이와 관련된 많은 연구들이 진행되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 사용자가 제품을 사용하면서 느꼈던 감성과 해당 제품에 대한 만족도 및 향후 제품 구매 시 현재 사용 중인 제품의 제조사와 동일한 회사의 제품을 구매하고 싶은 지 여부와의 관계를 알아보기 위하여 실험을 진행하였다. 또한 현재 사용 중인 제품에 대한 만족도와 향후 제품 구매 시 현재 사용 중인 제품의 제조사와 동 일한 회사의 제품을 구매하고 싶은 지 여부와의 관계를 검토해 보았다. 그리고 보다 일반화된 실험결과를 도출하기 위하여 한국과 미국에서 동일한 실험을 진행하였다.
연구 결과 제품을 사용하면서 느끼는 6가지 대표감성 중에서 제품의 사용성이나 실용적인 측면에서의 만족스 러운 감성인 ‘사용적 만족성’과 제품 사용 중 느끼는 불편하거나 불쾌한 감성인 ‘불편성’이 해당 제품에 대한 만 족도에 가장 크게 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 또한 ‘사용적 만족성’은 향후 제품 구매 시 현재 사용 중인 제품의 제조사와 동일한 회사의 제품을 구매하고 싶은 지 여부에도 가장 크게 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 이는 제품 디자인 시 제품의 외관, 즉 겉모양에서 느끼는 매력에만 집중할 것이 아니라 제품을 쉽고 효과적으로 사용할 수 있게 하는 사용성, 즉 사용자로 하여금 제품의 기능을 얼마나 잘 사용할 수 있게 하느냐에 대한 문제 또한 신중하게 고려해야 함을 시사해 준다. 또한 제품의 만족도가 재구매 의도에 정(正)의 영향을 미친다는 기존 의 선행연구들과 마찬가지로 본 연구에서도 현재 사용 중인 제품에 대한 만족도가 높을수록 향후 해당 제품 구 매 시 현재 사용 중인 제품의 제조사와 동일한 회사의 제품을 구매할 가능성이 높다는 결과를 도출할 수 있었다.
The purpose of this study was to look into how alliance discount cards affect customers using family restaurants by analyzing and identifying the difference in brand equity and satisfaction according to the propensity of using alliance discount cards. For this purpose, 407 customers who have used family restaurants completed a questionnaire survey. The study findings indicated that (1) there were significant differences in brand equity and satisfaction according to the propensity to use alliance discount cards. Moreover, it was found that groups with a strong propensity to use alliance discount cards had higher brand equity and satisfaction than groups that did not; also, (2) it was found that there were significant differences in brand equity and satisfaction according to the intensity of dependency on alliance discount cards. The group with strong loyalty to alliance discount cards went beyond the level of strong propensity to use alliance discount cards, of preference, and of use, which were previously proposed. This study implied that from mid-to long-term perspectives, it was necessary to operate a policy for more active alliance discounts as well as to ensure sufficient options for partnership benefits. Furthermore, it was essential to maintain the menu and service quality of restaurants, which were intrinsic factors for elevating brand equity and satisfaction in restaurants among dining customers.
Purpose: This study was conducted to examine the effects of Clinical practice learning using a web-based e-book on nursing students' learning motivation, knowledge achievement and satisfaction with clinical practice.
Methods: The participants in this study were 69 third-year nursing students (34 in the experimental and 35 in the control group) from a C-university in G-city, Korea, who were engaged in one-week clinical practicum in a gastroenterology ward. The data were analyzed by x²-test, Fisher's exact test, and t-test with the SPSS program 20.0.
Results: After intervention, compared to the control group, the experimental group reported significant difference in Learning motivation (t=-3.61, p<.001), knowledge achievement(t=-2.92, p<.001), and satisfaction with clinical practice (t=-8.78, p<.001) in the training course using Mosby's nursing skills.
Conclusion: These results identified that clinical practice learning using Mosby’s Nursing Skills was effective for the improvement of learning motivation, knowledge achievement and satisfaction with clinical practice. These results indicate that the implementation of an e-Learning needs to be continued as an effective educational tool. Also, it is needed to research more for better ways to implement e-Learning on students’ practicum.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate IPA(Importance Performance Analysis) of the factors that influence University Student's Satisfaction of teaching. The sample was selected 173 students in I university.
We will conduct the IPA to compare importance and satisfaction about the factors and analyze by frequency analysis, paired t-test, ANOVA using the SPSS 19.
Importance-Performance Analysis(IPA) is a well-known methodology to find the area for improvement. However, the IPA uses different strategies depending on an attribute falls in either 'Concentrate', 'Keep up', 'Possible overkill', or Low priority' quadrant. Problems can occur when attributes locate near the demarcation lines. To solve this problem of IPA, I suggest a modified importance-satisfaction analysis which integrates the Slack(1994)'s diagonal approach and Kano's ASC(Jang et al., 2012) into Yang(2003)'s Importance-Satisfaction model. For this, I investigated 21 smartphone's quality attributes, which adopted from Song and Park(2012)'s study, and conducted a survey of 280 university students for the results of Kano' model and the importance and satisfaction of the quality attributes. The results show that the proposed model enables the business managers to prioritize the quality attributes for improvement through the interpretation on the continuous diagonal line using the Kano's questionnaire only, without acquiring any additional survey for importance of attributes. Accordingly, it is expected that the newly proposed method will diminish the limitation of the existing IPA. In addition, to test the validity of the ASC, this study conducts a comparative analysis between the Kano's ASC and Tontini(2007)'s method to determine the relative importance of quality attributes.
Nowadays, due to the development of computers and the information and communication technology, data processing and transmission is made very vastly and fast. The development of the technologies bring many changes and revolutions to the life of ordinary people. Although, e-Business grows continuously, it is in experimental stage in domestic area because of limits of infrastructure. Also, in spite of explosive growth of internet, the research on the internet has not been fully studied yet. The objectives of this study are that how service consumers perceive the flow of e-Business, and that what effect the makes on their satisfaction and re-purchase intention. This means that the research enables a marketing manager to take the meaning of comparative weight among the components of e-Business flow, and to provide very useful information to establish marketing strategies which are close to the consumers.

Mahalanobis Taguchi-System (MTS) has been used in different diagnostic applications to make quantitative decisions by constructing a multivariate system using data analytic methods without any assumption regarding statistical distribution. MTS performs Taguchi's fractional factorial design based on the Mahahlanobis distance as a performance metric. In this study, MTS used for analyzing automotive ride satisfaction, which measured as a CSR(Customer Satisfaction Rating). The automobile which has a good CSR score treated as a normal group for constructing Mahalanobis space. The results of this research show that two attribute (Impact Hardness and Memory Shake) have a minus gain value and can be removed from further analysis. With the linear regression model, the difference of CSR between using all 6 attributes and just using significant 4 attributes compared.

The Location Based Services (LBS) comprise spatial information and mobile technology allow users to receive various services based on Global Positioning Systems (GPS). Although, spatial information based services are very useful, it has lots of possibility to damage privacy protection. But the contents of the legislation by government have problems conflicted between protection of a person's location information and invigoration LBS. Therefore, in this study suggest a causal model to deal with user satisfaction and factors affecting spatial information based services to customer perspective. The proposed research model is tested empirically with one hundred and forty one usable questionnaires and partial least square (PLS) method. Experimental results showed that the usefulness, playfulness, and service quality play a prominent role in influencing the spatial information services satisfaction compared to other factors. But, easy of use and perceived risk are not significant.
This paper proposed a service satisfaction index in the service design. We utilize the service blueprint as the basic tool for the service process analysis, construct a service flow fishbone diagram which consists of the encounters representing the inte
The era of express train in Korea has come since April in 2004. The KTX(Korea Train Express) which has introduced the technology of TGV of France is regraded as good as the ICE of Germany or Shinkansen of Japanese in its hardware aspects. However there are still many things to be improved in its software aspects such as the quality of services, since the new express railway system is in the early beginning stage. To improve the quality of services, we should first measure and analyze the current level of the service quality. Using SERVQUAL model, the service level of KTX is measured and analyzed in this paper. Issues on how to improve the service quality are discussed based on the measurement and analysis.
