等候是國道客運旅客無法避免卻又不愉悅的經驗,過去研究顯示顧客的知覺等候時間會影響其等候服務時的情感反應與服務評估。瞭解與管理旅客對等候經驗的知覺感受,是目前亟待探討的重要課題。本研究嘗試建構一國道客運旅客知覺等候經驗模式,並考慮知覺擁擠與公眾自我意識特質的影響效果。本研究以國道客運台北總站候車的旅客爲調查對象,並以結構方程模式進行模式驗證與分析。結果顯示,整體模式中除等候時間之資訊對情感反應之影響未達到統計的顯著性外,其餘研究假說均達顯著水準。此外,高公眾自我意識特質部份,整體模式關係均爲顯著;但低公眾自我意識特質部份,填補時間與知覺擁擠的影響效果是不顯著的。最後依據研究結果提出管理意涵與後續研究建議。
Waiting is very common but negative experiences for passengers of inter city coach. The previous studies indicated that the customers' perceived waiting time would influence the affective response and service evaluation while waiting for service. Understanding and managing the passengers' perceptions of waiting experience is an important issue and needs to be explored urgently at present. This study attempts to develop a perceived waiting experience model of the passenger for inter city coach. The research model also integrated the influence of the perceived crowding and the public self-consciousness disposition. We took the passengers who were waiting in the Taipei inter-city bus station as our research subjects. The model was tested and analyzed by structural equation modeling. The results indicated that all research hypotheses were tested to have significant effects except the relationship between the waiting duration information and the affective response. As for high public self-consciousness disposition subgroup, however, all relationships between constructs are significant. On the other hand, the filled waiting time and the perceived crowding didn't have significant effect for the low public self-consciousness disposition subgroup. Finally, managerial implications and suggestions for the future researches are discussed according to the research results.
