  • The purpose of this study was to measure the effects of the perceived sacrifice, service quality, value and satisfaction on the intention to revisit restaurants. A total of 273 questionnaires were completed. The equation model was used to measure the causal effects. The results demonstrated that the confirmatory factor analysis model provided an excellent model fit. The modified model yielded a significantly better fit to the data than the service quality model, and accounted for a greater share of the variance in intention to revisit than the service quality model. The effects of value and service quality on intention to revisit were statistically significant in both the service quality model and modified model. The effects of perceived sacrifice and service quality on value were statistically significant in the service quality model and modified model. As expected, service quality had a significant effect on satisfaction in the modified model. Satisfaction had a significant effect on intention to revisit in the modified model. Satisfaction also had a significant effect on service quality in the service quality model. Moreover, service quality had an indirect influence on intention to revisit through value and satisfaction in the modified model. Service quality had an indirect influence on the intention to revisit through value in the service quality model. The overall findings offer strong empirical support for the intuitive notion that improving service quality can increase favorable intention to revisit, and decrease unfavorable intention to revisit.

  • This study identified the use types of a home help service and the level of service quality and reviewed the extent of their effects on consumer satisfaction. As a result of measuring the service quality in terms of support, assurance, reliability, empathy and responsiveness, a high overall reliability was demonstrated in the service. The consumer satisfaction with the home help service was discovered as being high, in general. Meanwhile, with the female research participants, the lower the service fee was perceived to be, the higher the consumer satisfaction. The quality assessment items concerning support and reliability were found to be important variables which were influential on consumer satisfaction. Therefore, it has been shown to be imperative to prepare political alternatives regarding the development of the service standard in order to protect user's rights, offer relevant information, and ensure reliability in the home help service.

  • The purpose of this study was to optimum the desirable mixture ratio of aronia powder to rice flour for preparation of sulgidduk. The moisture of samples ranged from 39.93% to 42.80%. The pH of samples decreased with increasing amounts of aronia powder. L- and b-values decreased, while a-value increased, with increasing amounts of added aronia powder. As the level of aronia powder increased, hardness of samples decreased while their springiness and chewiness increased. As aronia powder content increased, 1,1-diphenyl-2picriylhydrazyl (DPPH) radical scavenging also significantly increased. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM; ${\times}30$) showed that air cell size on the sulgidduk surface increased with amount of aronia. Consequently, the addition of 3% aronia powder to rice flour was determined to be best formula for aronia sulgidduk in terms of sensory qualities such as appearance, flavor, texture, taste and overall acceptability.
