Abstract
In pursuit of quality and excellence in educational institutions, it is increasingly important to identify demands and needs of stakeholders. Service quality has been identified as one such demand. The purpose of the current study was to develop and validate a quality service assessment tool based on SERVQUAL Model to describe the service quality in Higher Education Institution. The sources of data were the head and personnel of the different clusters of CBSUA. The data were treated statistically using weighted mean and rank. The weighted-mean scores for the five SERVQUAL dimensions across the offices of the University President, Research and Innovation, Administration and Finance, Business and External Affairs, and Academic Cluster demonstrates that respondents find all five dimensions to be appropriate for assessing the service quality of each office. The relatively high scores across all dimensions highlight the importance of Tangibility, Assurance, Reliability, Reliability, Responsiveness, and Empathy in shaping stakeholders' perceptions and expectations of service quality within an educational institution. While some dimensions hold greater importance for specific offices due to their unique roles and responsibilities, all dimensions are nonetheless essential for evaluating the overall service quality in each context. The findings align with previous research on the applicability of the SERVQUAL model across various contexts, including higher education institutions. Ultimately, the results underline the significance of maintaining a high level of service quality across all dimensions in each office, as this is crucial for ensuring stakeholder satisfaction and fostering a positive reputation for the university.
