본 논문은 고객만족도 조사가 지니고 있는 현실적인 문제점의 개선 방법에 관한 탐색적 연구다. 고객만족도 수준이 높아질수록 만족고객의 비율이 높아지는 것은 당연한 현상이라 할 수 있는데, 실제 조사 측면에서는 만족응답으로의 쏠림현상이 두드러져, 데이터 분석의 구조적 한계와 함께 고객만족 개선안 도출의 유용성이 낮아지고 있다. 이러한 문제점을 해결하기 위해서는 만족고객을 재분류하여 보다 전략적인 의미를 도출하고 만족 고객의 불만족 요인을 찾아내기 위한 연구가 필요하다. 본 연구에서는 만족고객을 재분류를 위하여 3가지 방법을 제안하였는데, 구체적으로는 세부속성의 복합점수를 이용하는 방법, 만족/불만족 2차원 모형을 적용하는 방법, 만족 고객을 세분화하는 방법이다. 사례연구에서는 3가지 방법을 적용한 만족고객 재분류 결과와 각 방법들을 서로 비교분석하였다. 사례연구결과, 제안한 연구방법은 향후 고객만족도 조사가 다양하고 입체적으로 분석되어 고객만족조사의 활성화는 물론, 고객만족경영 향상을 위한 유용한 자료로 활용되리라 기대한다.

The purpose of this study was to examine the effect of customer perceptions of control within the dining experience on customer satisfaction. Customer perceptions of the resulting pace of the service encounter negatively impacted their satisfaction ratings during the stages of ordering, production, and payment in a restaurant. The moderating influence of perceived service pace satisfaction during service stages in a restaurant on the relationship between perceived service pace and customer satisfaction was also examined. Perceived service pace satisfaction was examined using expectancy disconfirmation theory. The effect of perceived pace on customer satisfaction was moderated by perceived service pace satisfaction during the production stage with a greater tolerance to a faster pace during the ordering stage. The management needs to consider the negative effect of service encounter pace on customer satisfaction. Perceived service pace satisfaction during the service stages in a restaurant should also be factored into strategy development for duration control.

화훼장식이 돌잔치 고객의 만족도와 장소 재방문 의도 에 미치는 영향을 파악하고자 설문조사를 실시하였다. 설 문조사 대상자의 일반적 특징은 남녀나 기혼자와 미혼자 는 거의 비슷하였으나 연령은 20대와 30대가 주류를 이루었고, 학력은 대졸자가 가장 많았다. 요인분석 결과 7개의 중요 변수 즉, 화훼장식을 위한 디자인의 스타 일과 구성, 디자인의 조화와 색감, 접근성, 시설, 서비스와 가격, 만족도, 그리고 재방문 의도로 이론적 모형이 구성되었다. 모형화한 연구가설의 검증 결과에 대한 타 당성을 입증하기 위해서는 SPSS 14.0K를 이용하여 탐 색요인의 분석을 실시하였다. 연구 모형의 모든 인과 관계의 경로계수를 동시에 측정하기 위해서는 구조 분석 방법을, 타당성 평가를 위해서는 AMOS 7.0의 측정 모 형을, 그리고 자료 분석을 위해서는 기술적 통계, 빈도 분석, 크론바하 알파를 이용한 신뢰도 분석과 요인 분 석법을 이용하였다. 가설을 검증한 결과, 매개변수인 만 족도에 가장 큰 항목을 차지하는 항목은 화훼장식의 스타일과 구성이었으며, 그 다음으로는 화훼장식의 조 화와 색감이었다. 그리고 서비스와 가격은 만족도에 정의 영향을 미쳤으나 접근성과 시설은 만족도에 영향을 미 치지 않았다. 결과적으로, 돌잔치의 기획 및 연출을 위 해서는 화훼장식이 가장 중요한 변수라는 것을 의미하는 한편, 이 중요 변수를 잘 활용하면 고객의 만족도가 증 가하게 되고 만족도가 증가하게 되면 재방문 의도가 향상된다는 것을 의미한다.

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.
