Client satisfaction(CS) has played an important role in the assessment of health service quality. Thus client satisfaction management(CSM) has been highlighted as one of strategic management. Specifically, the client satisfaction approach by moment of truth(MOT) makes significant contributions to the settlement of bottlenecks on client satisfaction. This research deals with the two issues of client satisfaction in large, small and medium sized hospitals. With regard to CS, one issue is to examine the difference of patient satisfaction through MOT between them and the other derives a strategy for improving client satisfaction from the viewpoint of small and medium sized hospitals. We use the survey data for 4 large and 14 small and medium sized hospitals in 1998. Major findings of this research can be summarized as follows: first, in case of outpatients, small and medium sized hospitals have a comparative advantage on contact-points of preparation and accounts over large ones. Second, while inpatients in small and medium sized hospitals are very satisfied with the contact-point of accounts, they are dissatisfied with the contact-points of facilities and hospital rooms.

From the relevant literature, ASP vendor attributes that might affect the ASP client satisfaction were derived from which the survey questions were formulated. The survey was conducted among the companies that have adopted ASP.

First, as for the characteristic factors of the preparer, the taxation knowledge factor and the client satisfaction factor were found to be in a significant median positive relationship, and the experience factor and the client satisfaction factor were found to be in a relatively less significant relationship. Second, the factor on the relationship with the preparer and the client satisfaction factor were all found to be in a highly significant positive relationship. Third, in order to measure the characteristics of the taxation objects, relationships between potential tax reductions factor, probability of taxable income adjustments factor, and the client satisfaction factor were analyzed, and they were found to have positive relationships of relatively high significance. Fourth, the average for the client satisfaction factor by industry was found to be the highest for the manufacturing industry, followed by wholesalers and retailers. Other sectors showed little deviation from the average of 4.9, but this factor was not statistically significant. Fifth, the average difference examination of the satisfaction levels for the clients with or without experience of taxable income adjustments showed that those without experience of taxable income adjustments had higher satisfaction levels. Sixth, 12 study hypotheses had been proposed in order to investigate the relationship between the client satisfaction factors and the client satisfaction levels according to the characteristics of clients. Among the 12 sub-hypotheses, except for the study hypothesis of investigating the relationship between the tax preparer's taxation knowledge and the client's satisfaction levels according to the experience of taxable income adjustments, 11 study hypotheses were all not adopted.

바우처 사회서비스가 확대되면서 서비스 성과가 강조됨에 따라 성과평가에 대한 학문적·실천적 관심도 증가하고 있다. 이에 이용자들의 서비스 만족도 조사가 확대되고 있으나 아직 바우처 서비스 이용자들을 대상으로 한 만족도에 대한 연구는 체계적으로 진행되지 못하고 있다. 이에 본 연구는 보건복지부에서 시행하고 있는 지역사회서비스투자사업(지역개발형)의 바우처 서비스 이용자를 대상으로 하여 서비스 만족도 지표를 개발하려는 연구목적으로 진행되었다. 분석자료는 2009년 5월 현재 지역개발형 바우처 서비스 이용자 1800명을 대상으로 한 설문을 활용하였다. 기존의 만족도 연구에서 사용되고 있는 만족도의 유형과 측정방식, 측정도구를 정리하고 바우처 특성을 반영한 요소만족도 지표를 구성하였다. 우선 요소만족도 구성문항들은 문항분석과 신뢰도 분석을 통해 동질적인 문항들로 구성되어 있음이 확인되었다. 요소만족도와 체감만족도를 활용하여 종합만족도를 도출하였으며 수렴타당도와 판별타당도 평가를 통해 만족도 평가도구로서의 타당성을 확인하였다. 본 연구 결과, 종합만족도를 산출하는 방식에 있어 체감만족도를 요소만족도의 가중치 선정에만 활용하는 방식과 체감만족도를 요소만족도의 가중치 선정뿐만 아니라 종합만족도 합산시에도 중복적으로 사용하는 방식 간에 있어서 만족도 지수의 차이가 거의 없음이 확인되었다.

본 연구의 목적은 다양한 사회복지 실천현장에서 활용가능하고 신뢰도와 타당도가 검증된 Client Satisfaction Inventory(CSI)를 국내의 사회복지실천 현장에 적용할 수 있는지를 평가하는 것이다. 이를 위해 본 연구는 서울 경기지역의 종합사회복지관 6곳을 이용하는 259명의 사회복지서비스 이용자를 대상으로 한국어판 CSI(CSI-K)를 평가하였다. 문항분석을 통해 5개 문항이 부적절한 문항으로 나타나 이들 문항을 제외한 다음 탐색적 요인분석을 실시하였다. 분석한 결과 CSI-K는 2개 요인(서비스 공급자에 대한 만족과 서비스 결과에 대한 만족)으로 구성된 척도로 나타났으며 각 요인의 내적일관성 신뢰도는 .964와 .885로 매우 높았다. 타당도 평가에서도 CSI-K는 이론적으로 관련된 변인들과 통계적으로 유의미한 정적인 상관관계를 보였으며 인구사회학적 변인의 영향을 받지 않은 것으로 나타났다. 후속연구를 통해 CSI-K가 우리나라 실천상황에 더욱 적합한 도구로 개발되길 기대한다.
