Purpose: Since the servant leadership of project managers is seemingly related to the project performance by influencing project team members' positive attitude and behavior, this study attempts to provide empirical evidence for a link between servant leadership and project performance. In addition, the present study investigates the mediating effects of customer satisfaction on the servant leadership-project performance relations. Methods: The data of servant leadership and project performance were collected from 185 project team members of a company providing IT service, and customer satisfaction data were collected from 100 project clients served by the company. Before testing the hypotheses, we calculated aggregation statistics(e.g., $r_{wg}$, ICC(1), and ICC(2)) to ensure appropriate aggregation of servant leadership scores. The statistics confirmed the use of 67 team level servant leadership scores with project performance and customer satisfaction. Results: The results show that servant leadership is significantly related to three project performance measures(perceptions of performance contribution and sales contribution, and actual project profits) in the current team-level sample. Results also indicate that the clients' perception of customer satisfaction shows a mediating effect in the process of servant leadership affecting sales contribution of project performance. Conclusion: The present study empirically confirms that servant leadership plays a major role in enhancing project performance on team level analysis. The results suggest that servant leadership increases customer satisfaction since the project managers serve and care for their team members which translate into effective customer service. Theoretical and practical implications are reviewed, and limitations of the study and suggestions for future research are addressed.

본 연구는 항공객실서비스의 인적서비스 역량에 따른 국내 항공사의 서비스 실패 사례를 분석하여 서비스 회복 방안 및 항공객실서비스품질을 향상시킬 수 있는 대응절차와 전략방안을 제시하였다. 항공사의 물적서비스와 인적서비스에 따른 서비스 실패는 고객의 이탈을 가져올 수 있고 기업의 수익성 향상에 부정적인 영향을 미칠 수 있다. 그러므로 고객만족을 위해 서비스 실패 상황이 발생 시 신속한 대처를 통한 회복의 노력을 기울여 고객 불만이 재발되지 않도록 해야 한다. 특히 항공객실승무원에 의한 서비스 역량은 고객 평가와 밀접하게 연관되어 있으며, 객실서비스 회복을 위한 인적서비스 역량은 고객만족도에 매우 긍정적인 영향력을 가지고 있다. 따라서 항공객실 서비스의 고객 불만사례 원인을 분석함으로써, 서비스 실패가 발생했을 때 효과적이고 신속한 객실 승무원의 대응전략을 찾을 수 있다. 이를 통하여 기업은 고객의 기대가치를 회복하고 고객과 지속적이고 우호적인 관계를 유지함으로써 고객충성도를 이끌어낼 수 있다.

이 연구의 목적은 국립중앙도서관의 서비스 수준이 이용고객에 대한 만족도와 방문회수에 미치는 영향을 밝히는 것이다. 그리고 최근 고객들의 만족도 향상뿐만 아니라 시설의 가동률을 높이고 사회적 일자리를 창출하는 효과를 거둔 성공사례로 인식되고 있는 국립중앙도서관의 연장개관의 효과를 검증하기 위하여 시간대별 인과관계를 구조방정식 모형의 추정으로 검토하였다. 연구결과에 따르면 국립중앙도서관 서비스의 특수성으로 인하여 서비스 수준이 고객의 만족감은 높일지라도 방문회수를 직접적으로 증가시키지 않는 것으로 판명되었다. 그러나 서비스 품질이 높다고 인식하는 이용자는 만족감도 높은 것으로 밝혀졌다.

This study examines the relationship between brand authenticity, brand equity, and customer satisfaction. A total of 263 participants participated in this study. Participants rated a set of three brands: Apple, Starbuck, and Nike. Each participant rated the extent to which the items described his or her authenticity with the brands listed, the equity of the brands listed, and feelings of satisfaction toward the brands. This study employs confirmatory factor analysis and structural equation modeling. The results indicate that 1) brand authenticity positively relates to brand equity, and 2) brand authenticity effects to customer satisfaction. The findings suggest that marketers can use the brand authenticity for assessment, planning, and tracking purposes to understand the authenticity of their brands for their customers. Products of authenticity brand are better liked, viewed as higher quality, offer greater value and are more likely to be purchased than less authenticity brand. They can command a significant price premium. The findings provide useful support and evidence for brand management, as well as companies in other developing countries, to engage more in brand practices as a core element of their strategic and brand management. This means that managers should work to increase perceptions of authenticity for their offerings.
