La presente investigación, con enfoque cuantitativo, tiene como objetivo medir los factores asociados a la calidad en el servicio en Centros de Acondicionamiento Físico (CAF), a partir del modelo SERVQUAL. Para ello, se propone un modelo estructural, que contempla las 5 dimensiones del SERVQUAL, al que se le realizó un análisis para valorar su capacidad explicativa en este tipo de servicios. Se empleó una muestra de 279 usuarios de CAF; el instrumento de recolección consta de 20 ítems que posteriormente se agruparon en 5 constructos: confiabilidad; bienes tangibles/infraestructura; responsabilidad; servicio recibido (en términos de seguridad) y servicio esperado (en términos de empatía). Los resultados arrojaron que el modelo propuesto es significativo al momento de explicar el fenómeno estudiado, puesto que las 10 relaciones hipotéticas planteadas superan el umbral de significancia, siendo la asociación entre fiabilidad y elementos tangibles la de mayor grado, con un coeficiente V de Cramer de 0.806. Con lo anterior, se arroja evidencia a favor del uso de modelos basados en el SERVQUAL, para la medición de la calidad en tipos de servicios deportivos.
The aim of this research study was to examine factors associated with the use of information and communication technologies (ICT) and university student learning processes. A quantitative field study was performed by surveying students in industrial and administrative engineering programs at the National University (Medellín, Colombia). Nine components were identified and used to propose a model. The model aimed at evaluating the willingness to use ICTs as support for professional training of engineering students. The results showed that there was a significant association between acknowledging the importance of using software as support for training and perceived utility of using ICTs. There was also a significant correlation between recognizing the importance of using ICTs and self-efficacy perception. It is concluded that there was evidence to support a correlation between skills and abilities for using ICTs and student perception of selfefficacy, which determines the applications of ICTs in educational and professional training.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
