Abstract This study examines the determinants of service satisfaction among users of a ward office in Tokyo using a two-part questionnaire. The questionnaire comprised three main categories of multiple-choice questions: A) facility equipment (physical elements in the government office), B) staff responses, and C) service delivery (e.g., promptness of services, whether visitors completed their scheduled errands). In addition, three groups of questions related to the personalities of the users of each facility were investigated. During a one-day survey period, responses were collected from 400 women, aged 30–59 years, who had visited a ward office in the Tokyo Metropolitan Area over a one-month period. This age segment was studied because it is the major segment of the panel of the Internet research firm used. First, factor analysis was used to check the appropriateness of the grouping of questions, and it was confirmed that the three groups were appropriate based on eigenvalues and scree plots. Then, to examine the determinants of counter service customer satisfaction, principal component analysis and multiple regression analysis were conducted for each question category. The regression analysis using the three main question groups and three other respondents’ personality-related question groups indicated that group C (service delivery quality) had the strongest influence on the dependent variable, followed by group B and group A. The adjusted R2 value was .70. This result is consistent with the results of the author’s surveys of government offices in urban areas conducted for Higashihiroshima City Hall and of ward offices in Osaka.

During a two-day survey period, responses from 400 women, aged 30–59 years, who had visited a ward office over a one-month period were collected. The questionnaire comprised three categories of multiple-choice questions: A) hardware (e.g., physical aspects), B) software (e.g., staff responses), and C) services (e.g., administrative services). Principal component analysis and multiple regression analysis were conducted on each question category concerning various aspects of public service provision. The regression analysis indicated that group C (service delivery quality) had the strongest influence on the dependent variables (ZY1), followed by group B and group A. Adjusted <i>R</i><sup>2</sup> value is.60.<br>

This study distributed on-site surveys to examine customer satisfaction with the counter services provided at a local government branch office (<i>Shisho</i>) in Higashihiroshima City, Japan, with a particular focus on direct experiences at the physical service counters. We obtained a total of 240 responses over six weekdays during the survey period. The multiple-choice questionnaire items were divided into three groups, including A) hardware (e.g., physical aspects), B) software (staff responses), and C) services (e.g., administrative practices). Results were then subjected to both a principal component analysis and multiple regression analysis. Among all explanatory variables comprising groups A) through C), the regression analysis showed that group B) (i.e., software, particularly in relation to human factors) was the most important for the dependent variables, followed by C) and A), respectively (adjusted R2 value of .51; Model 2).<br>

Government’s neglect of some primary schools in Nigeria has complicated service delivery with resultant non-conducive learning environment and degraded motivations for teachers. This paper generated indices of conducive learning environment and analyzed its determinants at primary schools in Nigeria. The study used the 2013 education Service Delivery Indicator (SDI) data that were collected from 744 primary schools in Nigeria. The data were analyzed with Principal Component Analysis (PCA) and Ordinary Least Square (OLS) regression. The results showed that 62.37% all the schools were in urban areas while Bauchi and Anambra states recorded the highest percentages of urban schools with 77.84% and 60.00%, respectively. The factors that increased conducive learning environment significantly (p<0.05) were private ownership, being established before 1990, and being situated in Anambra state, while urban location and practice of multi-grade reduced it. It was concluded that adequate monitoring of the state of infrastructural facilities in Nigeria’s public primary schools should become top priority of government and other stakeholders in the education sector.
