企業在品牌經營中常運用制服對外呈現品牌形象與提高知名度,對內可提升團體凝聚力、自我肯定及有效率的組織管理,消費者對於企業制服的感受,也會影響品牌形象及企業員工對其制服的認知。 本文以台灣高雄市麥當勞餐廳爲例,進行員工及消費者對制服認知的研究,獲致結論如下:(1)麥當勞餐廳員工及消費者對制服的視覺意象共同看法是簡潔的、專業的。(2)管理組及資深的員工對制服的認同感較高,建議業者對於服務組及年資淺的員工,在制服設計上可多採納其意見,並多加強宣導制服所代表的企業精神與品牌意涵,提升制服認知。(3)大多數年輕、高教育程度、高收入的消費者對麥當勞餐廳員工制服影響品牌形象有正面的看法,建議業者針對較無法辨識制服外觀的高齡消費者要主動加強服務,並可參考消費者建議改良服務組員工的制服設計,重視制服設計也是加強品牌包裝宣傳的策略之一。
