“…Notable is that when R 2 indicate the variables explanation in the model, the pseudo R-square does not, it only indicate the measure of the model effect (Garson, 2014). Here, the pseudo R-square value (Negelkerke: 0.227) indicates that our model provides an acceptable addition, as being in-line with previous studies (Peek and Carswell, 2018;Kwon et al, 2019).…”

Purpose This paper aims to investigate how the students perceive the cleaning of the university, from an in-house and outsourced perspective. Design/methodology/approach This research is based on a survey conducted in the different university buildings with a total of 240 students. The survey was then analysed through an ordinal regression. Findings The ordinal regression indicates a statistically significant result were student are more satisfied with the cleaning performed by the outsourced service provider. Research limitations/implications The research in this paper is limited to one Swedish university. But, the overall strategies for how to organise the cleaning service at the university do address all universities. However, the research is limited and more research has to be performed. Practical implications The insight the paper provides regarding how the students perceive the cleaning service at the university gives direct implications to university in relation to how to consider the cleaning service as an important factor. Originality/value It provides the first study from a student perspective on the question of cleaning of the university, when previous studies have indicated cleaning as an important function not least to student’s performance and academic results.

“…A specific focus that has received little attention in the area of homeowner satisfaction and housing research is the impact of older homes on homeowner satisfaction. (Peek & Carswell, 2018) This area is worth researching as, according to Eye on Housing, the share of owner-occupied housing built 46 years or more in the past has increased from 31% in 2006 to 38% in 2016. In contrast to this, the estimated percentage of owner-occupied housing built in the year 2000 or later makes up only an estimated 20% of housing.…”

This research study evaluated the impact of older home ownership on thermal comfort and overall homeowner satisfaction. Homeowners living in houses built 50 or more years ago in the Crescent Hill neighborhood of Louisville, Kentucky were surveyed. Homes studied were built between 1865 and 1963. The results of this 20-question survey were analyzed to form conclusions as to whether there is a link between thermal comfort, the age of older homes, and overall home satisfaction. The following themes immerged from the results of the analysis: (1) Are Homeowner's thermal needs being met by their HVAC system? (2) What impact does thermal comfort have on overall home satisfaction? (3) Has the experience of living in an older home impacted their likelihood of living in an older home in the future? The data analysis supports the conclusion that many homeowners living in older homes deal with a broad range of thermal comfort issues which detract from their thermal comfort. While most respondents indicated satisfaction with their homes, these homeowners often experienced negative thermal phenomena and over half of the homeowners supplement their home's primary HVAC system with additional heating and cooling products. The results of this survey also indicate that these reported thermal comfort issues have caused a clear shift in the respondents' reported importance of thermal comfort as a consideration when purchasing a home.
