Abstract
BACKGROUND: Many customers often complain about Indihome facilities, causing dissatisfaction with the service of Indihome products at PT. Telkom. OBJECTIVE: This study examines physical evidence, reliability, responsiveness, assurance, and empathy on customer satisfaction at PT. Telkom. METHODS: This study uses quantitative research with a population of all Indihome customers who make complaints or make payment transactions at PT. Telkom. RESULTS: Based on the study results, service quality, as seen from the variables of physical evidence, reliability, responsiveness, assurance, and empathy, significantly influences customer satisfaction in Indihome PT. Telkom. This study found that reliability and empathy affect Indihome customer satisfaction. Meanwhile, physical evidence, responsiveness, and guarantees do not affect Indihome customer satisfaction. Reliability and empathy are the five service quality variables with the most dominant influence. CONCLUSIONS: The results of this study can be used as input for PT. Telkom retains and attracts new customers by maintaining quality, reliability, and empathy. Customers feel that Telkom employees deliver products clearly and in detail and do not discriminate between customers, even though sometimes service completion could be more timely.
期刊介绍:
Human Systems Management (HSM) is an interdisciplinary, international, refereed journal, offering applicable, scientific insight into reinventing business, civil-society and government organizations, through the sustainable development of high-technology processes and structures. Adhering to the highest civic, ethical and moral ideals, the journal promotes the emerging anthropocentric-sociocentric paradigm of societal human systems, rather than the pervasively mechanistic and organismic or medieval corporatism views of humankind’s recent past. Intentionality and scope Their management autonomy, capability, culture, mastery, processes, purposefulness, skills, structure and technology often determine which human organizations truly are societal systems, while others are not. HSM seeks to help transform human organizations into true societal systems, free of bureaucratic ills, along two essential, inseparable, yet complementary aspects of modern management: a) the management of societal human systems: the mastery, science and technology of management, including self management, striving for strategic, business and functional effectiveness, efficiency and productivity, through high quality and high technology, i.e., the capabilities and competences that only truly societal human systems create and use, and b) the societal human systems management: the enabling of human beings to form creative teams, communities and societies through autonomy, mastery and purposefulness, on both a personal and a collegial level, while catalyzing people’s creative, inventive and innovative potential, as people participate in corporate-, business- and functional-level decisions. Appreciably large is the gulf between the innovative ideas that world-class societal human systems create and use, and what some conventional business journals offer. The latter often pertain to already refuted practices, while outmoded business-school curricula reinforce this problematic situation.
