The purposes of this study were to investigate the effects of university foodservice quality attributes on Chinese students' satisfaction, as well as the mediating effects of perceived value on the relationship between foodservice quality attributes and satisfaction. A total of 250 university students in Daejeon were surveyed, and 216 responses were returned. Excluding responses with significant missing data, 196 responses were used for data analysis. The reasons for using university foodservice were 'meal plan' (37.8%) and 'time saving' (22.4%), whereas the reasons for not using university foodservice were 'untasty food' (33.2%) and 'limited menu selection' (27.6%). Results confirm that enhanced performance of food quality, service quality, sanitation, and convenience had favorable effects on perceived value and satisfaction. Further, perceived value had a significant positive influence on satisfaction. In analyzing the mediating role, the effect of foodservice quality attributes on satisfaction was partially mediated by perceived value.

Computer and Internet information technologies(ICTs) have changed the modern service industry and people's life style. In particular, the global spread of COVID-19 has attracted more attention to contact service types such as self-service technology. With the increase in labor costs and the enhancement of consumer self-awareness, more and more companies transfer part of their work to customers through their own service technology. This study seeks to answer the following questions. (1) Do technology difficulty and safety perception affect customer value recognition in the self-service technologies? (2) Does customer value recognition influence the intention to use such technologies continuously? This study conducted an empirical analysis with 327 samples to validate the influence of self-service characteristics(technology difficulty and safety perception) on customer value recognition and continuous utilization intentions. Also, it analyzes the moderating effects of age and frequency of use on the relationship between self-service characteristics and customer value recognition. The study results show that the technology difficulty does not affect the customer's perceived value recognition; and the higher the customer's value recognition, the higher the intention of continuous use.

The present study was carried out to evaluate the impacts of the qualities of dental medical services on service value, consumer satisfaction and consumer loyalty for 221 patients who visited 17 dental hospitals or clinics located in Busan and Ulsan using questionnaires and obtained the following conclusion. By gender, males had higher perceptions of para-language than females did in the qualities of the dental medical services, and by the level of education, college students and university graduates had higher perceptions of body language and physical appearance. Scores of service value, consumer satisfaction and customer loyalty were higher in males, college students and university graduates, and married patients, but those were not statistically significant. It turned out that the qualities of the dental medical services were correlated with service value, consumer satisfaction and consumer loyalty. As the perception of para-linguistic and verbal communication in the qualities of the medical services increased, service value increased; as the perception of verbal communication and physical appearance increased, consumer satisfaction increased; and as the perception of verbal communication, physical appearance and body language increased, consumer loyalty increased. To sum up the above findings, the qualities of dental medical services influence service value, consumer satisfaction and consumer loyalty, so in the future, it will be necessary to study quality dental medical services with which patients are satisfied.

The importance of knowledge and information is ever increasing. The ingredients of the customer value of the information offered for free by the public information organizations are different from those of the ordinary products or services. This study aims to identify the factors which affect the information customer value and the job performance of the R&D managers who use national R&D information service(NTIS). The results show the quality of information service and the perception of services organizations have significant positive effect on customer value. In addition, the customer value have significant influence on the job performance. Meanwhile, the perception of information organizations have not effect on the job performance. Regarding the moderating effect of the information using environment, the results are as follows: the information using environment moderates the relationship between the information service quality and between the customer value and the perception of information organizations, and the relationship between the customer value and the job performance, but does not moderate the relationship between the perception of information services organizations and the job performance. According to the research results, we proposed several implications to foster the customer value management in the field of public information as well as future research directions.

컨설팅 조직이나 개인은 그들의 전문성을 바탕으로 사업을 영위하고 발전시켜 나가야 하는 영리적 목적을 띄고 있다. 따라서, 그들이 제공하는 컨설팅은 전문서비스로서의 상품적 가치가 있어야 하며, 고객은 이들이 제공하는 컨설팅에 대한 대가를 지불하여야 한다. 전문적 서비스라는 측면에서 컨설팅의 가치란 기업이 기대하는 이익이나 혜택, 서비스 품질과 그 서비스를 얻기 위해 지불하는 희생(비용과 시간)간의 상쇄효과로 설명할 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 이러한 가치에 영향을 미치는 요인으로 SERVPERF 모형을 이용하여 측정한 품질과 기업의 일장에서 바라는 편익으로 나누어 컨설팅 서비스에 대한 고객의 가치인식에 미치는 영향을 실증하고자 한다. 다음으로, 컨설턴트는 프로젝트가 끝나는 시점에서 컨설턴트-고객의 관계가 지속적이며, 긍정적, 상호 협력적이라는 확신을 심어 주어야 한다. 고객의 일장에서는 관계의 종결보다는 관계의 지속이 이성적이거나 감성적으로 편익이 높을 것이라는 확신이 서야 차며 이는 곧 컨설턴트-고객 간의 계산적/정서적 결속으로 나타날 수 있다. 따라서, 본 연구의 최종적인 목적은 컨설팅 서비스의 품질과 편익 - 서비스 가치 - 고객과의 결속 - 재사용의도로 이어지는 인과관계를 규명하는데 있다.

미용업의 사회적 인식이 높아짐에 따라 국내 미용서비스산업은 경영적 측면에서 체계화되고 규모면에서도 날로 확대되는 등 양적, 질적인 성장하고 있으며, 국내 업계끼리는 물론이고 글로벌화로 인하여 외국의 선진 프랜차이즈와도 경쟁하는 단계에 이르렀다. 이러한 환경적 변화 속에서 국내의 미용업계는 한 차원 높은 성장을 위한 자구적 노력이 필요한 상황이다. 그러나 국내 미용업계는 서비스 제공자 관점에서 일방적인 서비스를 제공하여 왔고 고객관점에서 가치 있는 서비스의 내용과 품질을 제대로 파악하지 못하고 있는 실정이다. 미용서비스품질을 정의하기 위한 연구들은 계속되고 있으나 미용서비스품질에 대한 명확한 개념정의는 물론이고 앞으로 국내 미용업계 성장의 축이 될 브랜드 미용실의 고유 서비스품질은 여전히 확정적이지 못한 실정이다. 따라서 본 연구에서 브랜드 미용실 고유의 서비스품질 요인들을 발견하고, 지각된 가치, 고객만족, 재이용의도 간의 인과관계를 알아보고자하며, 특히 지각된 가치의 매개적 역할과 계량적 중요성을 알아보고자 하였다. 또한 브랜드 미용서비스를 이용하는 고객들의 단골고객 신념수준에 조절효과가 있는지 알아보기 위하여 가치-고객만족, 가치-재이용의도, 고객만족-재이용의도 간의 이에 대한 조절효과를 검정하였고, 효과적인 서비스품질전략을 제시하고자 하였다.

This study was conducted to investigate the effect of relational benefits on perceived value in order to enhance customer satisfaction and win customer loyalty in the specialty coffee shop business. Structural equation modeling was performed and the structural model estimated with AMOS (ver 5.0). A total of 329 valid responses were used for data analysis. The findings show that confidence benefits among the relational benefits have a direct effect on perceived value. In addition, confidence benefits also have an indirect effect on customer satisfaction and loyalty from this perceived value. However, social benefits and special treatment benefits of customers had no effect on functional and symbolic value. In conclusion, establishing confidence benefits with the customer at the specialty coffee shop significantly influenced their perceptions of value, customer satisfaction, and loyalty.

The electrical power industry has been recognized as a natural monopoly industry for its technological and industrial characteristics. However, a competitive market system has been introduced to that industry in Europe, North America and Australia to overcome the inefficiencies originated from the monopolistic system for decades. In Korea, the power industry is expected to be placed in a competitive market system within several years after separation and privatization of vertically integrated industry in progress. Hence, there is a need for a research on the increase of customer value in that industry, however, existing studies have little dealt with that problem and there is no research on the price policy to consider churn and retention of customers. Therefore, this study provides a methodology for increasing customer loyalty and lifetime value by presenting the lowest pricing plan which leads to diminishing customers' cost. It is verified through an empirical examination that firms can enhance customer loyalty using a price element in that industry and maximize their profit by finding out customers whose lifetime values would increase.
