- The purpose of this study was to identify the factors of university residence hall foodservice quality which has correlations with subjective QOL (quality of life) of target customers. A total of 176 questionnaires from students of 4 universities in Daegu, Gyeongbuk area were used for the analysis. The male students using residence hall foodservices were highly satisfied with 'clean appearances of employees' (4.86 +/- 1.25) and 'clean facilities' (4.79 +/- 1.26), while the degree of satisfaction with 'convenient facilities' (4.50 +/- 1.20) showed the highest score with female students. Ranking analysis using Spearman's rho revealed that there were significant correlations between students' satisfactions with the dimensions of 'foods and kindness of employees', 'hygiene', 'nutrition', and 'convenience' and their QOL, even though physical QOL of female students showed no significant correlation with satisfaction towards residence hall foodservices. As a conclusion, there should be efforts to improve the QOL of target customers through foodservice quality management.
