The purpose of this study was to analyze the correlation between the public relations activities of the quasi-government agencies and the customer satisfaction, and to suggest the necessary directions for establishing effective public relations strategies. What significant relationship is there between the quasi-government agency's PR and customer satisfaction for the study? I asked four research questions. What are the factors that determine customer satisfaction? How do these factors affect customer satisfaction? What is the correlation between the factors?
In addition to the public relations activities conducted by quasi- government organizations for the public and policy customers as an influence factor on customer satisfaction, the research was carried out in consideration of the institutional confidence and organizational significance of quasi-government organizations.
The first method of research was to establish the analysis model and hypothesis of the study through a theoretical consideration.
Second, a survey was conducted on 270 customers using cadastral survey services in Chungcheongbuk-do. Of the 251 questionnaires retrieved, the last 237,the final 237 copies were reflected in the study through data coding.
SPSS 25.0 and AMOS 26.0 programs were used for data analysis. The data analysis method was as follows: First, the frequency analysis was performed to confirm the demographic characteristics of the subjects. Second, the Cronbach's α coefficient was verified for reliability verification of measurement tools. Third, descriptive statistical analysis was performed by checking mean, standard deviation, maximum value, and minimum value of each variable. Fourth, the feasibility analysis was conducted to analyze the accuracy of measurement results between measured variables. Fifth, a proposal model was finally created by setting the covariance using modified index. Sixth, AMOS bootstrapping technique was used to analyze the direct effect, indirect effect, and total effect of public relations activity, institutional trust, organizational image, and customer satisfaction.
Analysis shows that the public relations activities of the quasi - government agencies showed no significant effect on customer satisfaction and institutional trust, and they directly affected the organization image.
Recently the public relations paradigm of government and public institutions has evolved from the simple public relations method of introducing institutions and policies unilaterally in the past, and provides information that consumers need. In addition, we found that a customized public relations strategy was needed to collect opinions from the public using interactive media and to improve customer service satisfaction.
The limitations and challenges of this study are as follows: First, we could not grasp the relationship between PR type and perceived media awareness and satisfaction and customer satisfaction. Therefore, in future research analysis, it is necessary to investigate the satisfaction of public relations media used for public relations activities in addition to general public relations activities. Second, the number of samples for analysis is appropriate to present a structural equation model. However, when the analysis is limited to Chungcheongbuk - do nationwide, different results may be obtained. Therefore, in future studies, it should be carried out to collect samples and apply them to the whole country as much as possible.
