  •   台灣的行動通訊服務產業,在增加訂閱率方面已達成熟的階段。這樣成熟的市場,競爭是非常激烈的,而行動電信業者的核心策略是如何去維持舊有顧客,而不是在如何獲得新顧客。

      本研究的目的在於利用問卷研究來對電信產業的顧客轉換意圖做實証研究。本研計設計一份55題的問卷,收集340份問卷來分析服務品質、滿意度、後悔度、轉換障礙以及轉換意圖之相關性。

      本研究第一個結果建議電信業者去發產高的服務品質,經由增加滿意度與降低後悔度,來影響顧客轉換意圖。第二,滿意度與後悔度不但會個別的影響轉換意圖,而且後悔度也會經由滿意度來影響後悔度。第三,本研究結果不僅證明轉換障礙會直接影響轉換意圖,而且證明了轉換障礙在滿意度跟轉換意圖之間會有干擾效果。這個結果建議電信業者去增強顧客的轉換障礙,以便降低顧客的轉換意圖。

      The Taiwan mobile telecommunication services industry is reaching maturity in the stagnation of subscription increasing rate. This mature market competition is very intense, the core of mobile telecommunication providers is the customer reten-tion strategy, not the customer acquisition strategy.

      The purpose of this study is to empirically test the customer switching model through conducting survey research about switching intention in the area of telecom industry. A 55-item survey questionnaire was developed to conduct a survey with 340 subjects in order to identify the interrelationships among service quality, satis-faction, regret, switching barrier and purchasing intention.

      The first result of this study suggests telecom provider to develop higher ser-vice quality for influencing customers’ switching intention through increasing satis-faction and decreasing regret in the service industry. Second, satisfaction and re-gret would affect singly switching intention as well as regret influences switching intention through satisfaction. Third, the study results not only show that switching barrier affects directly switching intention, but also show to have moderating effect on satisfaction to switching intention. Thus, the results suggest telecom provider that strength customers’ switching barrier so as to reduce customers’ switching in-tention.
