  • 全球的航空產業面對不斷上升的油價、人事成本以及低價航空的激烈競爭,因此,航空公司迫切希望了解消費者對航空服務的需求,藉此穩固顧客的忠誠度。近幾年來網路空間已經成為企業了解消費者最經濟、最有效率的途徑。然而,回顧過去有關於航空公司的服務品質文獻當中發現,線上口碑研究在航空公司的服務品質領域上卻是少之又少,因此本研究選擇全台灣最大的旅遊論壇─背包客棧,對其進行網路留言的分析,試圖找出 (a) 論壇使用者對各航空公司的熱門服務討論話題 (b) 論壇使用者對各航空公司服務項目的滿意度 (c)不同性別的論壇使用者之熱門服務討論話題以及滿意度 (d) 不同發文等級的論壇使用者之熱門服務討論話題以及滿意度。結果發現,第一:不同性別以及發文程度的使用者的確關心不一樣的話題;第二:「回應性」是航空公司最應該加強的服務構面;第三:重大事件對線上口碑的影響甚鉅。 本研究的貢獻在於找出各航空公司的線上口碑評價,並提出可將「票價」、「形象」兩項構面納入未來研究服務品質的構面當中。
