PUBLIC TRANSPORT PASSENGERS’ BEHAVIORAL INTENTIONS: THE ROLES OF SERVICE QUALITY, PERCEIVED VALUE AND CUSTOMER SATISFACTION: A CASE STUDY OF KAOHSIUNG MASS RAPID TRANSIT UE4A 1098200040 Joy Yang
Proposed Research Topic • Analyze the reason why there are few people who take Mass Rapid Transit (MRT) in Kaohsiung
Purposes • Analyze the relations between behavioral intentions, service quality, perceived value and customer satisfaction • Explore what factors affect their behavioral intentions (e.g. service, safety and quality)
Background • In Taiwan, there are two MRT in Taipei and Kaohsiung • Ministry Of Transportation and Communications (MOTC) statistics: • In 2009, passenger trips: - Taipei MRT totaled 462.47 million - Kaohsiung MRT totaled 43.34 million
Scope • Questionnaire • Object: people who have taken Kaohsiung MRT • During the winter vacation • Hand out 150 questionnaires • Expect to withdraw 100 questionnaires • By random sampling
Theoretical framework • Sumaedi, Bakti and Yarmen’s (2011) - relationship between behavioral intentions and other factors • Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) - assume factors have a positive effect on behavioral intention
Theoretical framework • Definition Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) Natasha K. and Shenyang G. (2011) - SEM as an “umbrella” - multivariate statistical approaches - empirical data, conventional, developed approaches
Theoretical framework • Definition of Behavioral Intention (BI) Fishbein, M. and Ajzen, I.(1975) - Two factors: 1. His attitude toward the behavior 2. His subjective norm Theory of Reasoned Action (TRA) - prediction of attitude & BI
Theoretical framework • Service Quality Rust, R, Oliver, R. (1994) “Service Quality presents the latest research and theory in customer satisfaction and services marketing.” • Definition of perceived value Dodds, B. (2003) “Perceived value is a function of the perceptions of quality, customer, service, and price.” • Definition of customer satisfaction Cochran, C. (2003) Customer satisfaction can nearly mean everything
Method • Conduct a literature review on behavioral intention, service quality, perceived value and customer satisfaction and Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) • Hand out questionnaires by random sampling - hand out 150 & withdraw 100 Content will divide into four main parts: - Behavioral intentions (The important degree of service quality, perceived value and customer satisfaction) - Service quality (e.g. attendant’s attitude, shuttle service) - Perceived value (e.g. price, convenience, security, facilities) - Customer satisfaction (The satisfied degree of Kaohsiung MRT) • Undertake passengers’ behavioural intentions analysis of the questionnaires, guided by Structural Equation Modeling (SEM)
Limitations • Questionnaire by random sampling instead of whole passengers’ opinion • Time limitations - number of questionnaires insufficient to reflect the entirety
