Oslo – What is behind the satisfaction data • Interview follow-up of onboard survey of journey satisfaction • The scale • In general: 1-2 are used when the respondent is dissatisfied, 3-5 is used when the customer is satisfied. • The responses: not only performance • Previous experience • Expectations
Count. • Previous experiences influences • This influences the answers adversely, not positively. • Examples: • Punctuality: "The tram was on time, I could have given a top score. Still, in the back of my mind were all the delays lately, so I gave a poorer score." • Cleanliness: "In general, the metro is always dirty, people are spitting and putting their feet on the seat. Giving a top score is impossible".
Helsinki – Quality and compalints • Customer complaints and satisfaction • Computerized system for analysing customer complaints • Content analysis/conceptual mapping • Quantifications and linkage to satisfaction measures • Complaint data reveals the causes of (dis-)satisfaction • Immediate reaction of service problems
Discussion issues • Satisfaction in times of change • Internal/external changes • Positive/negative changes • Why satisfaction measures? • Quality control • Follow up of operators/incentives • Effects of improvements • Input to strategic decisions
Discussion issues (count) • Methodological aspects • Data sources • Instruments • Scales • Samples • Additional forces • Affective dimensions • Impact of culture • Media/reputation
