第一線服務人員之態度與反應影響顧客對餐飲服務業之第一印象。本研究之主要目的在於發展一套「餐飲第一線服務人員幽默感量表」,以有效了解與分析餐飲第一線服務人員之幽默感特質,原始題目共77題,經過因素分析、項目分析及內部一致性等步驟進行刪題,本研究發展之正式量表共計39題,包含「幽默理解」、「幽默創造」、「社交幽默」、「幽默因應」、「幽默態度」以及「笑的傾向」六個分量表。在信度方面,全量表的內部一致性為.93;重測信度方面為.70。在效度方面,以驗證性因素分析檢驗本量表之建構效度,並進行其聚合效度與區辨效度之驗證。最後分別以「成人玩興」、「工作滿足」與「顧客關係品質」作為效標關聯效度之參照,均顯著支持本量表之建構。綜合而言,本研究所發展之量表具有良好之信效度,可運用於一般職場與提供相關餐飲服務產業人才甄選工具之參考。
Frontline workers' attitude always influences consumers' first impression about the restaurants. The study details the development of the ”Frontline Workers' Sense of Humor” (FWSH) scale designed to measure frontline workers' individual difference in the sense of humor in the food and beverage industry. 77 items were developed in the original questionnaire. After the factor analysis, item-to-response, and correlation analysis, 39-item scale was developed. It consists of the following six dimensions: appreciation humor, creative humor, public relation humor, coping humor, manner humor, and smile tendency. The Cronbach's α of the scale is .89. Test-retest reliability is .70. After the confirmatory factor analysis, the results showed FWSH has stable construct validity. It also has appropriate convergent validity and discriminate validity. According to the correlations with adult playfulness, job satisfaction, and customer relationship quality, the study found FWSH has good criterion-related validity. Finally, this developed scale can be used as an effective selection tool in the food and beverage industry.
