養生送死是人生大事,自古國人視喪葬為生命禮儀的重要一環,安亡者之靈,慰生者之心,是維繫傳統的文化倫理,也是慎終追遠固有美德。本研究者係服務公部門金門縣殯葬管理所,對於人生的最後一站,常會思考如何用最莊嚴、虔誠、圓滿的心情,去提供優質殯葬服務品質,能夠滿足家屬或民眾需求。所以本研究藉由透過服務品質及抱怨處理方式來暸解滿意度情形,另外再加入金門縣葬儀業者及地方仕紳耆老的葬儀服務,金門縣殯葬政策認同程度,運用迴歸模式建置客觀滿意度衡量模式,來提供給金門縣殯葬管理所經營參考。本研究主要目的在於探討金門縣殯葬管理所的服務品質,抱怨處理與滿意度之間關聯性,參考Parasuraman, Zeithaml and Berry等三位學者(1988)提出的 SERVQUAL 量表來衡量服務品質,由受訪者(家屬或民眾)評估對於殯葬管理所的服務品質感受程度和滿意度。本研究以金門五個鄉鎮即金城鎮、金湖鎮、金沙鎮、金寧鄉、烈嶼鄉及旅居台灣金門籍鄉親為研究對象,取有效樣本341份,分別採用統計檢定進行服務品質與滿意度的分析、變異數分析探討不同居住地對於服務品質、抱怨處理與滿意度的認知差異,最後並採用迴歸模式來探討服務品質、抱怨處理與滿意度之關聯性。研究結果發現,金門縣殯葬管理所的服務品質與滿意度均受到民眾肯定;而金門地區民眾會因居住地不同,對於服務品質、抱怨處理與滿意度的認知具有差異性。此外,金門縣殯葬管理所的服務品質會顯著正向影響滿意度,而服務品質透過抱怨處理亦為顯著正向影響滿意度,且抱怨處理對於服務品質與滿意度之間具有中介效果。研究者建議金門縣殯葬管理所應將服務品質列為首要任務,且對於民眾之抱怨也需要妥善處理因應,以提高滿意度。期使金門殯葬文化提升,而能為先人及鄉親提供最優質與高滿意度的殯葬服務。 Raising the alive and burying the dead are big events in life.
