Elucidating how service quality constructs influence resident satisfaction with condominium management

Research highlights? Quantifying the causal effects between service quality and resident satisfaction in the condominium management service. ? Exploring the critical constructs and indicators of the service quality in the condominium management services. ? Developing efficient strategies to improve the service quality for condominium management services. With urbanization as a global phenomenon, the number of residential buildings is increasing rapidly, straining condominium management services. Firms in this sector vary widely in their levels of service quality-considered the key to increasing resident satisfaction and reducing resident complaints. This work explores service quality constructs and associated indicators that are useful for assessing service performance, as well as the relationships between resident satisfaction and service quality in the condominium management service sector. This investigation adapts the procedures from the popular measuring instrument SERVQUAL for exploring quality indicators. Additionally, the structure equation analysis confirms "service team competence" and "service performance reliability" are two primary quality dimensions that relate to condominium management. This study concludes that both constructs significantly and positively affect resident satisfaction for condominium service businesses.
