Service industry performance and competitive advantage depend on the attitudes and behavior of customer service employees who produce and deliver services through contact with customers. Most studies on customer service employees so far have concentrated on kindness, attitudes, or benefits. This study focuses on the increasing importance of customer service employees and intends to study them from the viewpoint of human brands that recognize customer service employees as a brand. In addition to the role of the employee at the service contact point, the customer participation behavior affects the interaction process with the customer service employee. Ultimately, customers could no longer be excluded from control to improve service quality. This study based on theory that the human brand characteristics of the customer service employees lead the customer's participation, which has a positive effect on the relationship with the service brand and the service brand attitude surveyed and analyzed customers who use service brand. This study is summarized as follows. First, the relationship between the service brand and the customer is examined. Second, this study also expands prior studies by examining the human brand characteristics of customer service employees and customers' willingness to participate in providing information on the impact of the consumer-brand relationship. The results of the study indicate that among the customer service employees' human brand characteristics reliability, familiarity, and empathy were found to affect the relationship between customers, the service brand, and the attitude toward the service brand the most. This study provides important implications for theoretical and practical strategies by examining the qualities and characteristics of customer service employees, which are the most important agents of marketing.

본 연구는 공공도서관의 서비스 성과 향상을 위해 경영활동에서 고려되어야 할 요소와 개선 방법을 논의하는 것을 목적으로 공공도서관 5개관을 선정, 이용자 서비스를 담당하는 사서들을 대상으로 개별 심층면담을 진행하여 조직의 서비스 지향성(Service Orientation)에 대한 접점 직원의 인식을 조사, 그들의 서비스 태도와 행동에 영향을 미치는 요인을 분석하였다. 그 결과 공공도서관 접점 직원들은 도서관의 다양한 서비스 중 이용자서비스의 중요도가 저평가되어 있고, 이에 대한 조직의 목표관리와 지원은 취약하다고 인식하고 있었으며 특히 서비스 지향성의 4가치 차원 중 서비스리더십, 인적자원관리의 측면은 서비스 동기에 직접적 영향을 미치는 것으로 파악되었다. 이에 이용자서비스를 사서직 전문성이 발현되어야 할 핵심 영역으로 재인식, 이를 강화하기 위한 전략적 접근의 필요성을 제안하였다.

본 연구는 서비스 교육성과에 미치는 영향으로 성격의 요안을 살펴봄으로써 서비스 지향적인 직원들의 채용 및 서비스 교육의 방향에 대해 연구하자 하였다. 최근 기업 간의 경쟁이 치열해 지면서 고객들에게 제품이외의 것을 제공하여 고객만족을 통한 차별화에 관심을 주기 시작 하였다. 이라한 기업들은 '고객만족' 을 위해 물리적 자원과 서비스 제공자의 인적자원을 포함하여 광범위하게 노력을 기울였다. 그러나 변화무쌍한 고객의 기대에는 더 광범위한 노력이 필요하였다. 따라서 인적자원의 노력이 필요하였다. 특히 서비스를 제공하는 기업에는 고객의 접점에서 일하는 직원들의 수행능력이 고객의 기대에 만족을 줄 뿐만 아니라 기업의 이미지에도 영향을 마찰 수 있기 때문에 직원들의 고객 지향적 사고 및 행동은 고객만족에 영향을 주는 하나의 요소로 볼 수 있다. 특히 접점에서 대면하는 직원들의 지속적인 서비스 교육을 통해서 기본적인 고객응대와 고객 지향적인 사고를 전달하여 기업의 경쟁력을 향상시치고 변화하는 고객의 기대에 부응하고자 노력하고 있다. 이에 따라 본 연구에서는 이론적 근거를 토대로 연구모형을 설계하고 가설 검증을 하기 위해 유통서비스에서 1회 이상의 서비스교육을 받은 접점의 직원들을 대상으로 설문지를 배포하여 성격과 서비스 교유의 전과 후 성과 빚 서비스 교유 횟수에 대해 조사하였다. 본 연구의 실증분석 결과는 다음과 같다. 첫째, 성격과 서비스 교육성과에 미치는 영향을 볼 때 성취지향성 (ambition), 배려성(likeability), 신중성 (prudence)은 서비스교육성과에 영향을 미친다고 나타났다. 이는 직윈 채용에 있어 성격요인 분석을 할 필요성이 있을 것으로 생각된다. 서비스 지향적인 사고를 지니고 있고, 서비스 교육을 지속적으로 진행하는 기업의 특성에 맞는 직원을 채용함으로써 교육성과의 극대화와 기업의 이익창출 빚 이미지제고의 긍정적인 영향을 줄 것으로 기대된다. 둘째, 서비스 교유 횟수가 성격과 서비스 교육성과 간의 조절 작용 여부를 검증할 결과 성취지향성 (ambition), 사회성 (sociability), 지적호기심(intellectance) 이 조절 작용을 하는 것으로 나타났다. 즉 직원의 특성에 맞는 적절한 교유 횟수에 대한 방안을 모색할 수 있을 것으로 기대된다. 또는 집단 안에서 비슷한 성격의 직원들로 구성하여 그 구성원들의 서비스 교육진행에 있어 교육 횟수를 조절한다면 서비스 교육의 성과를 극대화 할 수 있을 것으로 예상할 수 있다. 마지막으로 교육생의 학력수준이 성격과 서비스 교육성과 간의 조절 작용여부를 검증한 결과 학력과는 무관한 것으로 나타났으며, 이는 교육생의 학력수준으로 서비스 교육의 성과를 결정하는 요소가 아님을 알 수 있다.

This study defined the concepts of change-readiness, affordance system, agility, and performance, which are becoming increasingly important and necessary in service industry. Also, by verifying the relationship among these factors based on theoretical and empirical researches, it proposed strategic implications for service firms to reinforce their competitiveness. The results of the analysis in this study are as follows. First, the factors of technology, organization, and environment had significant effects on affordance system. Second, affordance system had significant effects on both agility and performance. Third, agility had a significant effect on performance. Fourth, job uncertainty moderated the relationship between affordance system and agility, but not between affordance system and performance. The results suggest that affordance system is a highly effective method of improving agility of the frontline employees. To maximize the utility of affordance system, sufficient change-readiness in technological, organizational, and environmental factors are required. Reasons and implications of these observed relationships are discussed.

As the public sector has been facing many challenges arising from the global economy and experiencing major changes, public services are redefined and various modes to improve their quality are applied to the customer service area. This research addresses whether and to what degree the professional competence of public institutions affect the customer service, in particular the quality and delivery of housing welfare services. With the institutional competences consisting of three elements - customer centric culture of service delivery, information sharing, and service delivery channels, this study utilizes a questionnaire survey, and the collected data are analyzed by using the inferential statistics. The findings show that customer centric culture of service delivery and information sharing have positive impacts on the quality of housing welfare services while service delivery channels don't have any influence on it. The research results imply that the institutional competence in the public sector is critical in the quality and delivery of the housing welfare services.

The perspectives of customers and providers as for the services have the same objective; however, perspectives and objective are distinctly different. But the existing methodologies have mostly pondered only based on the customer-centric perspective or separately from the perspective of providers. It would be necessary to take these two perspectives as a whole by combining them into one perspective since they not only have differences but also common points. Therefore, in this study suggested the System Journey Map in terms of internal staff based on the customer's task in service. System Journey Map is consists of four parts : a customer journey map, thus the performance of internal staff, internal staff satisfaction evaluation, and finally the performance of internal staff assessment of the senior staff. After releasing a service, with customers and internal staff made a point of contact to identify specific behavioral patterns and whether any part of the problem so that this toolkit gives us an expectation to be a useful map, which is the intangible being placed in service, not just visualize and understand for identifying problems.
