Özet

Bu araştırmanın amacı, Afyonkarahisar ilinde faaliyet gösteren işletme belgeli termal konaklama işletmelerinde konaklayan konukların restoran ve restoran hizmetlerine yönelik şikâyet konuları ve şikâyete ilişkin davranış şekillerinin araştırılarak, şikâyet konularının şikâyet davranışları üzerindeki etkilerinin saptanmasıdır. Veriler 396 konuktan anket yöntemiyle toplanmıştır. Verilerin analizinde betimleyici istatistik tekniklerinin yanı sıra, karşılaştırma testleri kullanılmıştır. Verilerin analizi sonucunda katılımcıların daha çok hizmet atmosferi kaynaklı şikâyetlerde bulundukları, sesli tepkileri diğer şikâyet davranışlarına oranla daha fazla sergiledikleri, şikâyet konularının şikâyet davranışları üzerinde genel olarak etkili olduğu saptanmıştır. Ayrıca şikâyet konularının şikâyet davranışlarının alt boyutlarını oluşturan sesli tepkiler, kişisel tepkiler ve üçüncü taraf tepkiler üzerinde anlamlı bir etkisinin olduğu tespit edilmiştir. Araştırmanın sonucunda katılımcıların şikâyet konuları ve şikâyet davranışlarına ilişkin görüşlerinin cinsiyetlerine, mesleklerine ve eğitim düzeylerine göre benzerlik gösterdiği, diğer yandan ise medeni durumları ve yaş gruplarına göre anlamlı bir farklılık gösterdiği saptanmıştır.
