In this context, this study examined the perception of commuters on service quality offered by Delhi Metro Rail Corporation and its impact on the commuter’s satisfaction. Therefore, five dimensions of service quality have been taken (reliability, tangibility, empathy, safety & security, commuters’ friendliness) as predicting variables towards the commuters’ satisfaction of DMRC. This research was carried out on behalf of a convenience sampling approach using basic condition and structural equation modelling with an aggregate of 1045 questionnaires distributed among commuters via electronic form as well as simple form. The results of factual tests show that four out of five predictive variables viz., commuters’ friendliness, tangibility, safety & security, empathy have pragmatic percussion, while reliability and commuter’s friendliness has no remarkable influence on customer’s satisfaction.

ABSTRACT:Improving the quality of education becomes very important nowadays to meet the increasing demands of graduates’ future institutions. This research adopts five dimensions of service quality initiated by Parasuraman, Zeithaml and Berry (servqual) to assess the quality of academic services affecting student satisfaction. Once the determinants are known, they can be used by policy makers to improve student satisfaction levels. After identifying the determinant factors, policy makers can use them to improve the level of satisfaction of students. There are 100 respondents who participated in this research. The data was collected using surveys and analyzed using structural equation modeling with Smart PLS 3.0. The results showed that among five hypotheses tested, all variables have the positive influence, however, there are two latent variables which have significant associations, while the others have not. Responsiveness and empathy have positive and significant impact on the student satisfaction, while tangible, reliability and assurance have a positive impact but not significant. Keywords: customs student satisfaction, service quality, servqual, SEM.ABSTRAK:Meningkatkan kualitas pendidikan menjadi sangat penting dewasa ini untuk memenuhi tuntutan kebutuhan unit pengguna yang semakin meningkat. Penelitian ini mengadopsi lima dimensi kualitas jasa yang digagas oleh Parasuraman, Zeithaml dan Berry (Servqual) untuk menilai kualitas layanan akademik yang mempengaruhi kepuasan mahasiswa. Setelah faktor-faktor penentu dari dimensi servqual dapat diketahui maka faktor-faktor tersebut dapat digunakan oleh pembuat kebijakan untuk meningkatkan tingkat kualitas layanan kepada mahasiswa. Ada 100 responden di pilih secara acak dari total populasi yang berpartisipasi dalam penelitian ini. Data dikumpulkan dengan menggunakan survei online dan dianalisis dengan pemodelan persamaan struktural dengan bantuan software Smart PLS 3.0. Hasil penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa dari kelima dimensi servqual, semua variabel memiliki pengaruh positif terhadap kepuasan mahasiswa, namun dari lima variabel tersebut hanya dua variabel laten yang mempunyai pengaruh signifikan, sementara tiga variabel yang lain tidak signifikan. Daya tanggap dan empati berpengaruh positif dan signifikan terhadap kepuasan siswa, sedangkan bukti fisik, keandalan dan jaminan memiliki dampak positif namun tidak signifikan.Kata Kunci: kepuasan, Mahasiswa Bea dan Cukai, kualitas layanan, Servqual, SEM

Putrajaya is a new federal administrative capital of Malaysia which has been set to achieve a 70% share of all travels by public transport in the city area. However, the current modal split between the public transport and private transport is 15 : 85. In order to understand travelers’ willingness to use the public transport, a conceptual model has been developed to determine the factors that affect them to use the public transport instead of travelling in their own cars. Various variables such as service quality, environmental impact, attitude, and behavior intention were analyzed and tested using structural equation model (SEM). Results indicate that the service quality and attitude are found to have positive effects on the behavioral intention of taking the public transport. Other than this, this study also shows that the service quality and environmental impact have some positive influences on the attitude to using the public transport. However, environmental impact has no significant, positive, and direct effect on behavioral intention. The results of this study demonstrate that the model that was developed is useful in predicting the public transport and it could provide a more complete understanding of behavioral intention towards public transport use.

Various community responses tend to suggest that different types of public services suffered a setback which is mainly marked by numerous irregularities in the public service. Systems and procedures are complicated, and human resources were slow in providing the service, expensive, closed, and discriminatory and cultured not serve, but served also an aspect of public service spotlight, especially in terms of population administration one of them in the service of making electronic ID card.The research objective is to know the quality of the electronic ID card service in District Cisarua, Bogor regency.The theory that used to analyze the quality of service is a theory proposed by Parasuraman in Harbani Pasolong (2013) which has five dimensions of service quality to be able to successfully include the dimensions of tangible, reliability, responsiveness, assurance, empathy. The five dimensions above should be implemented fully for one another have relevance.This research used descriptive quantitative method by using questionnaires as the main instrument to data collect.These results indicate that the quality of the electronic ID card service in District Cisarua, Bogor regency according to respondents of employees included in the criteria for the interpretation of Good, while according to the respondents community service quality Electronic Identity Card in District Cisarua, Bogor regency included in the criteria Pretty Good. It is explained that the completion of this electronic ID card service can’t be resolved quickly due to the completion of this electronic ID cards involve other agencies, namely the Department of Population and Civil Registration in Bogor district is not authorized for card printing and database processing. Suggestions from this study recommend that the government give them the authority to process the district population database that can handle an error in the electronic ID card identity. Then the district should continue to strive to conduct socialization to the village office of each region, with emphasis to the village to mobilize RW and RT convey any information which would have informed to the public; Keywords: Service Quality of electronic ID cards

The quality of service is a measurement of the level of service provided against the expectations of customers. This research examines the behaviour of passengers using public transport with respect to the service quality of public transit. A questionnaire was answered by 412 passengers at one of the main railway stations, Kuala Lumpur Sentral. Empirical data were extracted based on the information collected from the survey. Structural equation modelling was used to examine the measurement model. The findings of the study reveal that public transport passengers are significantly influenced by service attributes, for example, vehicle safety, cleanliness of the facility, and management of complaints. These findings identify the important service attributes that public transportation services in Kuala Lumpur need to prioritise. This study will help ascertain whether service quality meets or exceeds the expectations of the passengers.
