Abstract

The quality of public services is a recurrent theme; however, it lacks the structuring of valid measures. The objective of the study was to build and validate a quality assessment scale for public services (PUBLICSERV). A total of 55 items were developed on a 5-point Likert scale. The instrument validation involved two phases. In the qualitative phase, the validation by specialists and the pre-test were carried out. In the quantitative phase, a sample of 660 cases was used in the exploratory stage, and another sample of 1284 individuals, in the confirmatory validation. The result of the study is the construction and validation of a scale for assessing the quality of public services composed of 50 items distributed in seven dimensions (tangible aspects, reliability, relationship, public value, transparency, equality and legality, and satisfaction), which evaluates the quality of public services. A methodology for applying the scale was developed to facilitate its use by researchers, managers, and public policymakers, who may have feedback on the quality of the service provided, helping to identify gaps and prioritize needs, thus being able to develop strategies for improvements in public administration.

PUBLICSERV:公共服务质量评估表
公共服务质量是一个反复出现的主题;然而,它缺乏有效衡量标准的结构化。本研究旨在建立并验证公共服务质量评估量表(PUBLICSERV)。该量表采用 5 点李克特量表,共有 55 个项目。工具验证分为两个阶段。在定性阶段,进行了专家验证和预测试。在定量阶段,在探索阶段使用了 660 个样本,在确认验证阶段使用了 1284 个样本。研究结果是构建并验证了一个评估公共服务质量的量表,该量表由 50 个项目组成,分布在七个维度(有形方面、可靠性、关系、公共价值、透明度、平等与合法性以及满意度),用于评估公共服务质量。为便于研究人员、管理人员和公共政策制定者使用该量表,制定了一种应用该量表的方法,他们可以获得关于所提供服务质量的反馈,有助于找出差距和确定需求的优先次序,从而能够制定改进公共行政的战略。
