A Study on Special Library's User Satisfaction with the Library Service Quality Evaluation

도서관 서비스 품질 평가를 통한 전문도서관 이용자 만족도 연구

  • Published : 2009.09.30

Abstract

By exploring plausible relations between factors of service quality and user satisfaction, this study has derived significant determinants of user satisfaction. Based on the analytical findings, this study suggested practical measures to enhance user satisfaction of special libraries. If we determine the priority order of three dimensions of service quality depending on specialized areas of special libraries, and revise the items of higher correlations with user satisfaction, then we could effectively and efficiently level up user satisfaction of special libraries.

이 연구는 국내 전문도서관을 대상으로 서비스 품질 차원 변수들의 이용자 만족도에 대한 상관성, 상대적 영향력, 차별적 영향력을 분석하여 이용자 만족도의 결정요인을 찾아내고, 이를 근거로 전문도서관의 이용자 만족도를 증대시키기 위한 경영개선의 실질적 방안을 찾고자 하였다. 괴리이론을 이용한 설문조사 결과 전문도서관 이용자들의 도서관 서비스에 대한 인식은 최소치에도 미치지 못하는 것으로 나타났다. 이에 서비스 품질 차원의 변수들과 만족도 영역간의 영향력의 상관관계를 분석하여 그 결과를 근거로 이용자 만족도를 효율적으로 증대시키기 위한 경영개선의 우선순위를 제안하고자 하였다.
