Abstract

This study is a descriptive survey using a self-reported survey method to understand the effect of language and non-verbal communication of medical service providers on customer satisfaction through Lapport and to determine the degree of impact on Lapport by adjusting perceived service authenticity. The data collection period was from April 5 to April 30, 2021. Using the convenience sampling method, data were collected from users of medical institutions located in Busan and Gyeongsangnam-do, and a total of 306 valid questionnaires were used as statistical analysis data. The collected data were analyzed using the IBM SPSS statistics version 25.0 and AMOS 20.0 programs through a coding process. In the results of this study, it was found that the language and non-verbal communication of medical service providers influenced customer satisfaction through Lapport, and the perceived service authenticity in the relationship between each variable acts as a moderating effect. Considering that the language and non-verbal factors of the medical service provider are important in the interaction between the medical service provider and the hospital user, the medical service provider should take full account of the language and non-verbal factors and help the medical institution communicate with the hospital user.

본 연구는 의료서비스제공자의 언어·비언어커뮤니케이션이 라포를 매개하여 고객만족에 미치는 영향을 파악하고, 지각된 서비스진정성을 조절 효과로 하여 라포에 미치는 영향 정도를 알아보기 위해 자가 보고식 설문 조사법을 이용한 서술적 조사 연구이다. 자료수집 기간은 2021년4월5일부터 4월30일까지 였다. 편의표본추출법을 사용하여 부산광역시 및 경상남도에 소재하고 있는 의료기관을 이용한 이용객을 대상으로 하여 자료를 수집하였으며 총 306부의 유효설문지를 통계분석 자료로 이용하였다. 수집된 자료는 코딩 과정을 거쳐 IBM SPSS statistics version 25.0 및 AMOS 20.0 프로그램을 이용하여 분석하였다. 본 연구결과에서 의료서비스제공자의 언어·비언어커뮤니케이션이 라포를 매개하여 고객만족에 영향을 주고, 각 변수 간 관계에서 지각된 서비스진정성이 조절효과로써 작용 작용한다는 것을 알 수 있었다. 의료서비스제공자와 병원이용객 간의 상호작용에서 의료서비스제공자의 언어·비언어적 요소가 중요하고 이러한 요소가 라포와 고객만족에 영향을 미친다는 점을 고려해 볼 때 의료서비스제공자는 병원이용객에게 서비스를 할 때 언어·비언어적 요소를 충분히 고려하여 진정성 있는 태도로 임해야 하며, 의료기관에서도 종사자와 병원이용객이 의사소통을 원활히 하여 상호만족 할 수 있도록 관련 직무교육을 통해 돕도록 해야 할 것으로 판단된다.
