Healthcare is an integral part of health development in Indonesia, which aims to optimally improve public health. Hospitals, as healthcare facilities, are required to provide quality, safe, and patient-centered services. Service quality is a key indicator of service success, as good service impacts patient satisfaction. One of the most important services in hospitals is obstetrics, which directly relates to maternal and infant health, making patient satisfaction a crucial aspect. Midwives, as professional healthcare workers, play a strategic role in providing comprehensive, sustainable, and patient-centered midwifery care. This study aims to analyze the influence of healthcare facilities and midwife performance on patient satisfaction through service quality. The method used is a quantitative study with an analytical approach and a cross-sectional design. The results of the multiple linear regression test indicate that midwife performance has a more dominant influence on service quality than healthcare facilities. Meanwhile, regarding patient satisfaction, service quality is the most dominant factor, followed by midwife performance and healthcare facilities. The conclusion of this study is that service quality reflects the overall patient experience and is a key factor in improving patient satisfaction.

This study aims to qualitatively analyze the impact of order cancellations and customer ratings on the performance, performance, and income of online motorcycle taxi (Gojek) drivers in the Slawi region. The research method used a qualitative approach with data collection techniques through in-depth interviews, observation, and documentation of a number of active drivers. The results show that the high rate of order cancellations, both from customers and the system, negatively impacts driver income stability and reduces work time efficiency. Furthermore, customer ratings play a crucial role in determining driver access to orders, incentives, and account sustainability. Drivers with low ratings tend to experience decreased performance due to limited opportunities to receive orders. On the other hand, the pressure to maintain high ratings also affects drivers' psychological state and work strategies. This study concludes that order cancellations and customer ratings are crucial factors that are interrelated in influencing the work quality and welfare of online motorcycle taxi drivers. Therefore, fairer and more transparent platform policies are needed to maintain a balance between customer satisfaction and driver protection.

This study aims to explore the meaning of service excellence from the perspective of hotel employees at Kinasih Resort Depok, Indonesia. Most existing research on service excellence has focused on guest satisfaction, leaving the subjective experiences of employees as service providers underexplored. This study employs a qualitative approach with a descriptive phenomenological design. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, participatory observation, and documentation from five purposively selected informants across the F&B Service, Housekeeping, Front Office, Human Resources, and management departments. Data analysis followed Moustakas's phenomenological procedure encompassing epoché, horizonalization, theme clustering, and essence description. Findings reveal that employees construct layered meanings of service excellence according to their hierarchical positions: frontline workers emphasize friendliness and responsiveness, supervisors emphasize speed and problem resolution, while management frames it as a holistic service ethos encompassing internal relationships. Emotional labor emerged as an inevitable dimension managed through collaboration, prioritization, and de-escalation strategies. Organizational factors including training systems, communicative leadership, guest feedback-based evaluation, and managerial attention to employee well-being demonstrably shape how employees internalize service excellence values. This study contributes to employee-centered literature on service excellence and offers practical implications for human resource development in resort contexts.

This study aims to analyze the factors influencing customer satisfaction at PT JNE Cabang Latta Ambon, focusing on five dimensions of service quality according to the SERVQUAL model: Tangibles, Reliability, Responsiveness, Assurance, and Empathy. Data were collected through a questionnaire distributed to 145 respondents using shipping services. The results of the analysis indicate that of the five dimensions, only the Empathy dimension has a positive and significant effect on customer satisfaction (β = 0.204; p = 0.048). The other variables, while showing positive effects, did not demonstrate statistical significance. The regression model developed was able to explain approximately 22.1% of the variation in customer satisfaction, emphasizing that there are other factors beyond the measured dimensions that also influence satisfaction. The F-test results show that, simultaneously, all five dimensions of service quality significantly affect customer satisfaction, supporting the SERVQUAL theory that highlights the importance of a multidimensional approach in service delivery. Practical implications of this study suggest that PT JNE Latta Ambon should focus more on enhancing empathy and responsiveness in service, while maintaining the quality of other aspects as a minimum standard. This research provides valuable insights for developing more effective customer-oriented service strategies and opens opportunities for further research in this field.

This study was motivated by the gap between employee performance evaluations and the quality of health services at Dr. Adnaan WD Payakumbuh Regional General Hospital. Although the majority of employees received a “Good” performance rating through the e-Kinerja system and SKP, the public still complained about slow service, long lines, a lack of empathy among staff, and poor coordination between units. This study aims to analyze the implementation of performance management in relation to improvements in employee performance and the quality of healthcare services. The research method employs a descriptive qualitative approach, utilizing data collection techniques such as in-depth interviews, observations, and documentation involving hospital management, medical and non-medical staff, as well as patients. Data analysis utilizes the Miles and Huberman model through data reduction, data presentation, and drawing conclusions. The results indicate that the implementation of performance management is not yet optimal because it remains administratively oriented and has not been integrated with service quality. Issues were identified in the areas of human resources, facilities, coordination, supervision, as well as low levels of empathy and service responsiveness. The study concludes that the performance management system does not yet fully support improvements in the quality of healthcare services; therefore, an evaluation based on service outcomes and patient satisfaction is required.
