Abstract

This study analyzes how service quality is affected by individual empowerment and job satisfaction of food service industry employees. Based on preceding research, the independent variables used in this study focus on the matter of empowerment--specifically, 'autonomy', 'meaningfulness', 'respect', and 'capability'. The dependent variables are 'job satisfaction' and 'quality of service'. Based on data obtained through this study, a tentative theory is proposed: food service industry employee job satisfaction positively affects quality of service. In particular, 'autonomy' and 'meaningfulness' positively correlate with job satisfaction. However, 'respect' and 'capability' do not seem to influence job satisfaction. On the matter of 'empowerment', a tentative theory is also proposed: employee empowerment in the food service industry positively affects quality of service, with 'autonomy'(b=.257) the most significant influence, 'meaningfulness'(b=.221) the second, and 'respect'(b=.214) the third. 'Capability'(b=-.172) exhibited no correlation with quality of service. The essential finding of this study is as follows: employees' job satisfaction in the restaurant franchise domain positively affects quality of service.

본 연구는 외식기업 종사원 개개인의 임파워먼트가 서비스품질에 미치는 영향과 직무만족에 따른 서비스품질에 미치는 영향관계를 분석하고자 하였다. 선행연구들을 바탕으로 독립변수는 임파워먼트(결정권, 의미성, 존중성, 역량성)를 설정하고, 종속변수는 직무만족과 서비스품질로 설정하였다. 연구를 통해 얻은 결과는 다음과 같다. 첫째, "외식기업 종사자들의 임파워먼트는 직무만족에 정(+)의 영향을 미칠 것이다"의 가설 1의 검정결과를 살펴보면 결정권(b=.269), 의미성(b=.227)은 통계적으로 유의하여 직무만족에 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났으나, 존중성(b=.905)과 역랑성(b=.060)은 영향을 미치지 않는 것으로 나타났다. "외식기업 종사자들의 임파워먼트는 서비스품질에 정(+)의 영향을 미칠 것이다"의 가설 1의 검정결과를 살펴보면 결정권(b=.257), 의미성(b=.221), 존중성(b=.214) 순으로 나타났으며, 역량성(b=-.172)은 기각이 되었다. 외식기업 종사자들의 직무만족은 서비스품질에 정(+)의 영향을 미칠 것이다"의 가설 검정결과 직무만족은 고객의 서비스품질에 대하여 긍정적인 영향을 미친다고 하였다.
