As the higher education sector is more competitive and globalized, service quality and student satisfaction are increasingly essential and attract more attention. However, research on this topic usually employed general service models applied for the higher education context. This paper investigates the service quality in higher education by combining the HEdPERF model and the popular two-dimensional service quality model to link the general and context-focused perspective. Data were obtained from 335 respondents who are students in Vietnamese universities. Findings indicate the effects of functional and technical service quality on student satisfaction and determine each HEdPERF dimension’s relationships on the two dimensions of service quality. This study contributes to understanding the path from service performance in the higher education sector, service quality dimensions, and satisfaction. This also provides suggestions for Vietnamese universities in improving their performance and services.

Purpose The purpose of this study is to investigate university students’ perception of service quality and satisfaction in a developing country to guide quality improvement. Design/methodology/approach The study uses a quantitative survey design. A new instrument has been developed to measure student perceived service quality. Data was collected from 182 undergraduate students enrolled in a five-year BEd course at the one University of Education in Myanmar. Findings A significant gender difference was found only in one of the service quality dimensions, hostel facilities. There was a significant difference in student satisfaction in the year of study. Apart from cafeteria and hostel facilities, students’ perceived-level of service quality was significantly different. All service quality dimensions were significantly correlated with student satisfaction. Significant relationships were found among intention to leave the university, trust in management and overall satisfaction with the university. Research limitations/implications This study uses data collected from undergraduate students studying at the one University of Education in Myanmar in Myanmar. Practical implications The study adds on to the service quality literature on higher education in developing countries, specifically in Myanmar. The students’ perceived service quality dimensions resulting from this study can be applied by universities to evaluate their performance. Originality/value The research findings presented in this paper fill the gap in the existing literature by providing empirical knowledge on service quality measurement and student satisfaction in the higher education context. The study is among the first studies of students’ perception of service quality and satisfaction in Myanmar.

Simultaneous Evolution

In any quality improvement program, measurement plays a vital role as it provides information for decision making. On the other hand, finding the dimensions of quality is a pre-requisite for the measurement process. Despite the diverse resources on the general dimensions of service quality, little work has been conducted on public services and in particular on higher education. It seems that during the past decades, globalization and quality assurance have developed into systematic characteristics of higher education. In spite of their simultaneous evolution, however, actual links between the two phenomena occurred only recently and establishing a comprehensive set of higher education service quality dimensions seems necessary in order to support such linkages. In this paper, some of the existing sets of Service Quality Dimensions (SQDs), proposed for higher education services have been reviewed. The findings have also been compared and integrated with a general and comprehensive iist of SQDs, compiled during an investigation carried out at an international academic research center. The paper presents a new comprehensive set of SQDs for the higher education applications, at national and international levels.

Higher education institutions (HEI’s), both public and private are increasingly focusing on meeting students’ demand as students’ perception on quality of higher educational services are becoming more important. This paper is mainly attempted to examine the relationship between service quality dimensions (tangibles, reliability, responsiveness, assurance and empathy) and students’ satisfaction. To conduct the study, a total number of 207 respondents were taken as sample from eight universities including four public universities located in Dhaka and Chittagong. Five point Likert scale type questionnaire was used to collect the data. In this study, some statistical measures such as mean, standard deviation, correlation were used to analyze the linkage. The results found that there is a positive relation between service quality dimensions and students’ satisfaction specifically tangibles and reliability have significant influence on students’ satisfaction. The study also revealed that responsiveness, assurance and empathy have insignificant relation with students’ satisfaction. This paper concludes with limitation and future research direction.

Objective - The objective of this study is to identify and implement the most suitable and prominent dimensions for service quality, which is key for the development of a successful model. Within a competitive academic environment, Lebanese higher education institutions are forced to develop their own dimensions of service quality and offer higher quality services than their competitors. Therefore, identifying the key dimensions of service quality in the Lebanese higher education sector is a priority for universities, to improve their overall services and maintain high levels of retention. The foremost condition to success is a well-developed service quality assessment process to evaluate university services. This paper aims to investigate the most effective service quality assessment tool for Lebanese universities, in addition to the corresponding dimensions of service quality and their impact on the satisfaction of the students. Methodology/Technique - This study undertakes a comprehensive review of recent studies dealing with different aspects of service quality models and the corresponding service quality dimensions are presented and discussed. Considering the proved and established qualities and capabilities of the SERVQUAL model and the urgent need for service quality assessment for private higher education institutions in Lebanon, a modified SERVQUAL model with seven dimensions is proposed and highlighted as a potential model for assessing service quality in the Lebanese higher education sector. Findings - Based on the comprehensive literature review carried out, it was noted that the SERVQUAL instrument is the most prominent model used in recent investigations to assess service quality in the higher education sector. Novelty - Choosing the proper and the most influential service quality model is one of the crucial challenges faced in higher education. Type of Paper: Review.
