This research substantiates how the quality of education service
affects students' satisfaction focusing on the effect mediated with
learning motive.
What schools provide is education service. Education service consists
of core service factors which are mainly composed of education
programs and other additional services(Fisk & Allen, 1993). Education
is the complex of many intangible factors. Schools where education
takes place are main places for students to experience education
process and places to produce educationalized products. For this
education process, as a tool of quantify students' actual understanding
to objectify education service quality, the service quality measuring
tool, SERVPERF was used and in order to apply this to the specific
situation called education service, the components of SERVPERF are classified into 3 sectors. Tangibility was classified and named as
education facilities, certainty and responsiveness as education personnel
service, and empathy and reliability as faculty's operation service, and
each dimension of the education service quality is set as an
independent variable.
Satisfaction means unidentical measurement results captured between
foreseeable expectation and produced actual results, id est, pleasurable
fulfillment(Oliver,1993). Students' satisfaction doesn't remain in their
self-satisfaction status, but this leads to indulging themselves in
studying for academic achievements and brings about affection to their
schools and even indicates the stability of their school lives and the
intimacy tendency among their classmates. Therefore, students'
satisfaction is set as a defendant variable.
Students' desire to performance in relation to studying will greatly
affect perceived education service quality and students' school lives.
This is why I set learning motive as a parameter.
For this research, surveys were collected from 873 P university
students, and in order to process the data statistics, SPSS18.0 program
was used for its analysis. In order to look into students'
sociodemographic characteristic, the quality of education service
perceived by them and their satisfaction degree, frequency analysis and
descriptive statistic analysis was conducted. In order to verify the
validity of the composition concept of the measuring tool, analysis was
conducted on the composition and factors of the variables, id est,
education service quality, students' satisfaction and learning motive. In
order to verify the reliability of the variables used in this research,
Cronbach`s alpha coefficient was used for analysis. Furthermore, analysis was made on the relationship among each variable used in
this research.
