Abstract

In distance learning, quality of service is an important part of improving customer satisfaction and customer loyalty. However, in verifying the effectiveness of remote education service quality, it has been researched based on fragmentary effects on remote education service quality, and the effect study on the specific target is insufficient. In this study, the effects of remote education service factors on customer satisfaction and customer loyalty were analyzed in the previous study and among job seekers. The survey was conducted from March 2019 and 258 samples of job seekers who experienced remote education were used for empirical analysis. As a result of the analysis, typology, problem solving, interaction, information serviceability, and convenience had a positive effect on customer satisfaction, and satisfaction had a significant influence on customer loyalty. In addition, it was analyzed that characterization, problem-solving, interaction, information serviceability, convenience and customer loyalty were affected in the verification of the mediated effects of satisfaction. In response, the implications of this study were derived from practical research on customer satisfaction and loyalty of educational companies related to eduTech, where education and ICT (Information Communication Technology) were integrated during the 4th Industrial Revolution, which suggested that the quality of a company's remote education service affected customer satisfaction and customer loyalty to entrepreneurs and marketers in the education company's start-up and marketing process. Further, further research will be needed in other areas as well as in the areas of employment education to verify the importance of service quality and assess the various effects.

원격교육에서 서비스품질은 고객만족과 고객충성도를 높이기 위해 중요한 부분이다. 하지만 이제까지 원격교육 서비스품질에 대한 효과성을 검증함에 있어서 원격교육 서비스품질에 대한 단편적인 효과중심으로 연구되었고 구체적인 대상에 대하여 어떠한 영향을 미치는지에 대한 연구는 부족한 실정이다. 이에 본 연구에서는 선행연구와 차별적으로 취업 준비생들을 대상으로 원격교육 서비스요인이 고객만족도과 고객충성도에 미치는 영향에 대해 실증분석 하였다. 2019년 3월부터 설문조사를 실시하였고 원격교육을 경험한 취업 준비생 258개의 표본을 실증분석에 활용하였다. 분석결과 유형성, 문제해결, 상호작용성, 정보제공성, 편리성은 고객만족에 정(+)의 영향을 미쳤고, 만족도은 고객충성도에 정(+)의 유의미한 영향을 미쳤고, 만족도의 매개효과 검증에서 유형성, 문제해결, 상호작용성, 정보제공성, 편리성과 고객충성도 사이에 정(+)의 영향을 미친 것으로 분석되었다. 이에 본 연구의 시사점은 4차 산업혁명시대에 교육과 ICT(정보통신기술)가 융합된 에듀테크 관련 교육기업의 서비스품질 요인이 고객만족과 충성도에 미치는 실질적인 연구를 함으로써 교육기업의 창업과 마케팅 과정에 있어서 창업가와 마케팅 담당자들에게 기업의 원격교육 서비스품질이 고객만족과 고객충성도에 직간접적인 영향을 미친다는 시사점을 도출 할 수 있었다. 또한 서비스품질의 중요성 검증과 다양한 효과에 대한 평가를 취업교육 영역뿐만 아니라 다른 영역에도 다각도로 추가 연구가 필요하겠다.
