초록
고객이 기업과 상호작용하는 대표적인 비대면 서비스 접점인 콜센터에서 서비스를 제공하는 상담사는 그 기업의 서비스경쟁력을 결정한다. 즉 기업의 우수한 서비스는 상담사의 서비스 역량에 의해 영향을 받는다. 변화하는 환경에서 기업의대응 능력을 강조하는 민첩성의 개념을 도입하여, 본 연구는 먼저 상담사의 고객대응역량을 고객대응전문성과 고객대응민첩성의 하위차원으로 개념화하고 고객서비스성과에 미치는 효과를 분석한다. 이와 더불어 기업의 디지털 및 인적 지식자원이상담사의 고객대응역량에 미치는 효과를 규명한다. 연구가설을 검증하기 위해 보험사 콜센터 2곳의 상담사로부터 수집한371부의 응답을 가지고 PLS(partial least squares) 분석을 수행했다. 연구결과는 기업의 디지털 및 인적 지식자원이 상담사의고객대응전문성과 고객대응민첩성을 향상시키고 이를 통해 고객서비스성과를 증가시킬 수 있음을 보여준다. 이 결과는우수한 고객서비스를 창출하기 위해 먼저 상담사의 서비스 역량을 강화하는 것이 필요함을 제시한다.
Abstract
In call centers where customers contact a firm’s customer service without face-to-face interaction, customer service representatives (CSRs) determine its service competitiveness. In other words, a firm’s service excellence relies on its CSRs. Drawing on the concept of agility from service and information technologies studies, this study conceptualizes customer response capability as a variable consisting of customer response expertise and customer response agility, and further verifies its effects on customer service performance. Moreover, this study examines whether a firm’s digital and human knowledge resources are related to CSRs’ customer response capability. To empirically test the proposed hypotheses, the partial least squares analysis is conducted with a total of 371 responses collected on CSRs from two insurance call centers. The findings indicate that a firm’s digital and human knowledge resources enhance CSRs’ customer response expertise and customer response agility, thereby increasing customer service performance. The results draw the conclusion that CSRs’ customer response capability is a key antecedent of superior customer service.
