Abstract

The purpose of this study was to improve satisfaction of university dormitory foodservice customers by analyzing the correlation between foodservice satisfaction and customer loyalty. The questionnaire was distributed to 510 students residing in a dormitory of a University located in Gyengsangbuk-do from 1st to 8th December, 2015. The average customer satisfaction score was 3.19/5.00. The category with the highest score was sanitation, followed by environment, food, reactivity, and menu. Male students showed significantly higher foodservice satisfaction score than females in terms of reactivity (P<0.01) category. Students living in the dormitory for over 2 years were significantly less satisfied with the dormitory foodservice in terms of menu (P<0.05) and reactivity (P<0.001) categories. The average customer loyalty score was 2.73/5.00. Scores for revisit intention, words-of-mouth intention, and intent not to switch were 2.80, 2.73, and 2.65, respectively. Revisit intention and words-of-mouth intention showed a significant (P<0.001) positive correlation with food, environment, menu, sanitation, and reactivity. Non-switching intention showed a significant (P<0.001) positive correlation with food, menu, and reactivity. After classifying customers into four groups according to customer satisfaction and loyalty, a comparison was carried out to determine satisfaction and loyalty by each customer stratum. In the "loyalist" group, satisfaction with sanitation and the advertise intention by revisit and words-of-mouth were significantly higher than in the other groups (P<0.001). In "defector" group, satisfaction with menu (P<0.001) and advertise intention by words-of-mouth (P<0.01) were significantly lower than in the other groups.

본 연구는 경북지역 D 대학교 기숙사 급식소를 이용하는 고객들을 대상으로 2015년 12월 1일부터 8일간 설문조사를 통해 급식서비스 만족도가 고객충성도에 미치는 영향을 파악하고, 충성도에 따른 고객 분류를 통해 효과적인 마케팅 전략을 수립하고자 시도되었다. 조사대상자 학생 중 기숙사 급식소를 아침과 저녁 모두 이용하는 경우는 17.5%, 아침 또는 저녁 한 끼만 이용하는 경우는 48.8%, 거의 이용하지 않는 경우는 33.7%로 나타났다. 급식만족도의 전체 평균점수는 3.19/5.00점이며, 위생요인, 환경요인, 음식요인, 반응성요인, 메뉴요인 순으로 나타났다. 반응성요인은 남학생이 여학생보다 유의하게(P<0.01) 높았고 1학년이 4학년보다 유의하게(P<0.05) 높은 점수를 보였다. 기숙사 거주기간에서는 1년 미만 군이 2년 이상 군보다 전체 평균 점수가 유의하게(P<0.01) 높았다. 기숙사 급식소를 아침 또는 저녁만 이용하는 군과 아침과 저녁 모두 이용하는 군이 거의 이용하지 않는 군보다 위생요인을 제외한 모든 영역에서 유의적(P<0.001)으로 높았다. 기숙사 급식소에 대한 고객충성도 평균점수는 2.73/5.00점이며, 재방문 의도, 구전 의도, 전환하지 않을 의도의 순으로 나타났다. 재방문 의도는 남학생이 여학생보다 유의하게(P<0.05) 높았고, 구전 의도는 1학년이 2학년과 4학년보다 유의하게(P<0.05) 높은 점수를 보였다. 기숙사 거주기간 1년 미만 군이 2년 이상 군보다 전체 평균점수가 유의적(P<0.05)으로 높았다. 기숙사 급식소 이용 빈도에 따른 차이에서 아침과 저녁 모두 이용하는 군, 아침 또는 저녁만 이용하는 군, 거의 이용하지 않는 군의 순으로 전체 평균점수, 재방문 의도, 전환하지 않을 의도가 유의적인(P<0.001) 차이를 보였다. 급식서비스 만족도 요인인 음식, 환경, 메뉴, 위생, 반응성은 모두 재방문 의도, 구전의도와 양(+)의 유의적인(P<0.001) 상관관계를 보였으며, 급식서비스 만족도 요인 중 음식, 메뉴, 반응성 등 3가지가 전환하지 않을 의도와 양(+)의 유의적인(P<0.001) 상관관계를 보였다. 급식소 이용고객을 급식서비스 만족도와 충성도 고객군(충성 용병 인질 이탈고객)으로 분류한 결과, 충성고객군은 급식서비스 만족도에서는 위생요인이, 고객충성도에서는 재방문 의도와 구전 의도가 유의적(P<0.001)으로 높았고, 용병고객군과 인질고객군은 급식서비스 만족도에서 메뉴요인이 유의적(P<0.001)으로 낮았으며, 이탈고객군은 급식서비스 만족도 중 메뉴요인(P<0.001)이, 고객충성도에서는 구전 의도(P<0.01)가 유의적으로 가장 낮았다. 본 연구를 통해 효과적으로 대학교 기숙사 급식소의 고객만족도를 향상하기 위해서 각 고객군에 따른 차별화된 마케팅 전략 수립이 필요하다 보겠다.
