INTRODUCTION TO CUSTOMER SATISFACTION

AITS, Department of Management

Page - 12 -

:: INTRODUCTION ::

Recent interpretations in the consumer domain now couch satisfaction as a fulfilment response. Fulfilment implies that a consumption goal is known, as in basic motives of hunger, thirst, and safety. However, observers of human behaviour understand that these and other goals can be and frequently are modified and updated in various ways. Thus, consumer researchers have moved away from the literal meaning of satisfaction and now pursue this concept as the Consumer experiences and describe it.

In Oliver (1997), the following definition has been proposed as being consistent with the conceptual and empirical evidence to date: Satisfaction is the consumers fulfilment response. It is a judgment that a product or service feature, or the product or service itself, provided (or is providing) a pleasurable level of consumption-related fulfilment, including levels of under- or over-fulfilment.

Here, pleasurable implies that fulfilment gives pleasure or reduces pain, as when a problem in life is solved. Thus, individuals can be satisfied just to get back to normalcy, as in the removal of an aversive state (e.g., pain relief). Moreover, fulfilment is not necessarily limited to the case of met needs. Overfulfilment can be satisfying if it provides additional unexpected pleasure; and under-fulfilment can be satisfying if it gives greater pleasure than one anticipates in a given situation. Note that it has not been necessary to provide a separate discussion of dissatisfaction.

If the word displeasure is substituted for pleasure in the satisfaction definition, dissatisfaction results. Thus, the displeasure of under-fulfilment typically is dissatisfying and, interestingly, over-fulfilment may be dissatisfying if it is unpleasant the case of too much of a good thing.

Customer Satisfaction: Improving Quality and Access to Services and Supports in Vulnerable Neighbourhoods.

It was the consensus of the groups that lack of information often leads to low expectations. They further agreed that the process of obtaining a service and the way it is delivered can have a major impact on the users experience. The qualities of relationships and staff were central to positive outcomes.

Because customer satisfaction is a highly variable assessment that every individual makes based on his/her own information, expectations, direct contact and interaction, and impact, it makes sense to involve and consult consumers when designing customer satisfaction approaches.

:: Hospitality Service Quality ::


Research identifies many characteristics that are associated with service quality. Business researchers Benjamin Schneider and David Bowen assert that service organizations must meet three key customer needs to deliver service excellence: security, esteem, and justice. Research identifies an array of service quality factors that are important for customers, including:

Timeliness and convenience Personal attention, Reliability and Dependability, Employee competence and professionalism, Empathy, Responsiveness, Assurance, Availability, and Tangibles such as physical facilities and equipment and the appearance of the personnel.

Research shows that these characteristics also apply to citizen satisfaction with public service quality. Timely service is an especially strong determinant of quality across different types of public services. Fairness and outcomes are additional factors important to public service customers.

5. RESEARCH PROBLEM
It is a well known saying that ATITHI DEVO BHAVH which means customer must be treated as god. In customer satisfaction research , we typically ask about overall satisfaction with products or services. When inertia, lack of competition, price and partially good offerings are the main reasons why customers continue patronizing a product or service, an overall customer satisfaction score may be misleading.

So, in this context the research problem underlying this study is analysis of whether the Customer of the Motel The Village are satisfied with the degree of services and hospitality provided over there or not.

1. LITERATURE REVIEW

Parasuraman et al., 1988; Grnroos, 1982 Service quality is a complex, elusive, subjective and abstract concept. It means different things to different people. The most common definition of service quality is the comparison customers make between their expectations and perceptions of the received service.

Lehtinen and Lehtinen (1982) Quality is a multi-dimensional concept. Lehtinen and Lehtinen defined three dimensions of service quality, namely, physical quality, interactive quality and corporate quality.

Grnroos (1984) He argued that service quality comprises of technical quality, functional quality and corporate image.

Parasuraman et al. (1985; 1988) He developed the SERVQUAL scale, which became the most popular instrument for measuring service quality. They identified five key dimensions of service quality reliability, tangibles, responsiveness, assurance and empathy. The SERVQUAL scale consists of 22 items for assessing customer perceptions and expectations regarding the quality of service. A level of agreement or disagreement with a given item is rated on a seven-point Likert scale. The results are used to identify positive and negative gaps. The gap is measured by the difference between perceptions and expectations scores and indicates the level of service quality. If the result is positive, perceived service exceeds expected service. A negative result means low quality of service. According to this instrument, service quality occures when perceived service meets or exceeds customer's expectations.
AITS, Department of Management Page - 66 -

Danaher and Mattsson, 1994 To sum up, the relationship between quality and satisfaction is complex. Some authors have described it as Siamese twins. Although there still remain a lot of unresolved questions, it can be concluded that service quality and customer satisfaction can be perceived as separate concepts that have causal ordering. Providing services those customers prefer is a starting point for providing customer satisfaction. A relatively easy way to determine what services customer prefers is simply to ask them.

Horsnell (1998) According to Gilbert and Horsnell , and Su , guest comment cards (GCCs) are most commonly used for determining hotel guest satisfaction. GCCs are usually distributed in hotel rooms, at the reception desk or in some other visible place.

(Churchill and Surprenant, 1982; Oliver, 1980; Barsky, 1995; Zeithaml and Bitner, 2003) Given the vital role of customer satisfaction, it is not surprising that a variety of research has been devoted to investigating the determinants of satisfaction. Satisfaction can be determined by subjective (e. g. customer needs, emotions) and objective factors (e. g. product and service features).

Present data is necessary for any research but past data is also useful for any research A good researcher makes literature review for an effective good research. Customer satisfaction is a term frequently used in marketing. It is a measure of how products and services supplied by a company meet or surpass customer expectation. Customer satisfaction is defined as "the number of customers, or percentage of total customers, whose reported experience with a firm, its products, or its services (ratings) exceeds specified satisfaction goals."

AITS, Department of Management

In researching satisfaction, firms generally ask customers whether their product or service has met or exceeded expectations. Thus, expectations are a key factor behind satisfaction. When customers have high expectations and the reality falls short, they will be disappointed and will likely rate their experience as less than satisfying. For this reason, a luxury resort, for example, might receive a lower satisfaction rating than a budget moteleven though its facilities and service would be deemed superior in 'absolute' terms."

STATISTICAL ANALYSIS / HYPOTHESIS TESTING


CHI-SQUARE TEST:
Chi-square Test is applied to test the goodness of fit, to verify the distribution of observed data with assumed theoretical distribution. Therefore it is a measure to study the divergence of actual and expected frequencies: Karl Pearsons has developed a method to test the difference between the theoretical (hypothesis) and observed value. Chi-Square Test, X2 = (Oij Eij)2 / Eij Degree of freedom, df = (r - 1) (c -1) Where, Oij = Observed Frequency; Eij = Expected Frequency; R = Number of Rows; C = Number of Columns;

Hypotheses: Ho (Null): Ha (Alternate): Customer are not satisfied with Motel The Village. Customer are satisfied with Motel The Village.

Observed Frequency:

We can find out Expected Frequency using the formula of Eij, Eij = Row Total *Column Total Grand Total For e.g. here, Eij for Excellent = (206*55) / 440 = 25.75 Eij for Average = (223*55) / 440 = 27.875 Eij for Poor = (11*55) / 440 = 1.375

Expected Frequency:

X2 (cal) = 29.51459 df = (r - 1)(c - 1) = (8-1)(3-1) = 14 df = 14 and @ 5% significance level, X2 (tab) = 26.296

X2 (cal) >X2 (tab) Therefore, Hypothesis is rejected. So the result is that, customer are satisfied with Motel The Village.

:: Suggestions ::
1. Cleanliness should be maintained regularly. 2. Entertainment area must be developed. 3. MTVs hoardings must be on kalawad road highway. 4. More focus should be there on regular customer.

:: Limitations of Study ::
1. It was not possible to take reviews of each and every customer of MTV. 2. As I had to take reviews from customers, I had to keep one authorised person with me. 3. As it is a hospitality industry, I had to stay till late night over there.

:: Implications of Study ::
The research was conducted at REEYO MOTEL THE VILLAGE RESORT PVT. LTD., Kalawad Road, Rajkot. In order to judge the degree of employees job satisfaction at the motel. The main aim of the research was to evaluate which factors excellences in the employees job satisfaction and to improve those areas and factors of job satisfaction.

:: Conclusion ::
My qualitative analysis of the MOTEL THE VILLAGE(MTV) shows that the level of customer satisfaction is good both considering the overall evaluation and the single services.

Human resource management in particular results to be specially effective in entertainment and restaurant service area.

By interviewing the hotel's management about the results, it emerged that they didn't have the perception of the gaps we found in cottages services. Though the cottage service heavily depends on the quality of the motels structure, a certain degree of improvement maybe obtain through a concrete effort towards their customization.
