The study was undertaken in Durban, South Africa, and was conducted within a Public Sector service environment, which comprised of four major call centers employing 240 call centre agents. A sample of 151 call centre agents was drawn across using a simple random sampling technique and a 63% response rate was achieved. These call centre agents were responsible for inbound calls only. Data was collected using a self-developed, precoded questionnaire whose validity and reliability were statistically determined using Factor Analysis and Cronbach’s Coefficient Alpha respectively. Data was analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics. The results indicate that the dimensions of Sick building Syndrome have the potential to impact on agents’ performance. Based on the results of the study a graphical representation has been designed and presents recommendations that, when implemented in call centre environments, have the potential to enhance agents’ effectiveness in managing customers and their needs.

Banks argue that the services quality (SQ) and customer engagement (CE) need to embrace mobile applications(m-apps) like any other significant business asset in the bank. In order to succeed, banks need to improve customers' actual usage (AU) of m-apps. This study proposes a model to identify SQ factors that contribute to the CE for improving AU for m-apps. It examined the direct and indirect impacts of SQ and CE on improving AU for m-apps. Simple random sampling was used with customers who had used m-apps as questionnaire respondents (total N=369). All hypotheses were tested using (PLS-SEM). Data collection from a questionnaire of 369 customers from 13 Jordanian commercial banks was used to examine the research model. The results of the study indicate that CE has a significant and direct impact and partially mediates between factors of SQ, namely content, responsiveness, ease of use, and perceived usefulness on improving AU for m-apps. Moreover, this study suggested that, if banks intend to promote their SQ and CE, they must continuously improve their AU for m-apps.

Abstract Students, their families, employers and the government want the assurance that students will get “good quality” education. The question is: what does “good quality education” mean? This paper seeks to provide the answer as well as some concrete criteria and proposals to improve the objectives and quality of the education systems. We argue in this study that the quality of higher education and student satisfaction is a cumulative construct, summing various facets and variables of the educational institution, such as technical, functional, infrastructure, interaction and atmosphere variables. In this research we describe a study involving a new instrument, i.e. the 5Qs model and a new method which assures the reasonable level of relevance, validity and reliability, while being explicitly change-oriented. The main goal of the empirical part of this study is not to evaluate the performance of the staff or to analyze the student assessment or satisfaction, rather to test the new 5Qs model. The use of the 5Q dimensions provides both a structure for designing a higher education quality measurement instrument and a framework for prioritizing results and findings.

University or college is a challenging reality leading to a sometimes elusive career path. By consulting social media and review websites, students have more alternatives to consider in their choice determination. This study develops a multifaceted model to recognize the influence of service quality and e-word of mouth on customer satisfaction and the impact of customer satisfaction on word of mouth. Data gathered from a sample of 150 university students are analyzed by SPSS and PLS-SEM. The findings indicate that service quality dimensions and e-WOM have positive impacts on customer satisfaction. Furthermore, this study reinforces that customer satisfaction has a positive influence on customers’ WOM intentions. This research recommends that university management should consider the importance of service quality factors and social media channels to meet and exceed students’ expectations in order to bolster the quality of services and boost customer satisfaction.
