Abstract

The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of consultant 's competence on consulting satisfaction, consulting service quality, and understanding of client firm consulting. In summary, the results of this study suggest that the competency of a consultant influences the satisfaction of consulting and affects the satisfaction of consulting through service quality. Responsiveness, empathy, type, assurance and reliability have a significant impact on the hypothesis. Also, the higher the understanding of client firm consulting, the higher the satisfaction of consulting. In order to further improve the satisfaction of such consulting, it is necessary to enhance client firm consulting understanding. In order to improve the satisfaction of consulting, it is suggested that not only the consultant capacity but also the efforts to improve the consulting understanding of the customer can achieve the intended satisfaction. Further research is needed on how to improve understanding of how to improve consulting satisfaction in the future.

연구의 목적은 컨설턴트의 능력이 컨설팅 만족도, 컨설팅 서비스 품질 및 고객 회사 컨설팅에 대한 이해에 미치는 영향을 조사하는 것이다. 본 연구결과를 요약해보면 컨설턴트 역량이 컨설팅 만족도에 영향을 미치며, 서비스 품질을 매개하여 컨설팅 만족도에 영향을 미칠 것이라는 가설에 대해 대응성, 공감성, 유형성, 확신성, 신뢰성이 유의한 영향을 미치는 것으로 확인할 수 있었다. 또한 수진기업이 컨설팅에 대한 이해가 높을수록 컨설팅의 만족도에 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 컨설팅의 만족도를 향상하기 위해서는 컨설턴트 역량뿐만 아니라 고객의 컨설팅 이해를 향상하기 위한 노력이 기울여야 의도하는 만족도를 달성할 수 있다는 점을 시사하고 있다. 향후 수진기업 측면에서 컨설팅 만족도를 향상할 수 있는 이해도 높일 수 있는 방안에 대한 추가 후속 연구가 필요하다.
