Using linear regression analysis, we map out the correlation between the various aspects (independent variables) and overall satisfaction (dependent variable). This means you don't have to ask about the importance of the various aspects. Regression analysis determines what the customer really finds important and where the focus for improving the service should lie. This not only provides a picture of satisfaction with the aspect, but also of its importance.
PAD analysis
To deepen a regression analysis, a PAD analysis can be performed. Satisfaction is related to many different aspects, and these aspects also influence each other. For example, the concept of "job content" can directly influence overall satisfaction, but "employee participation" in turn influences job content. In this way, employee participation influences overall satisfaction without this being directly visible. A PAD analysis reveals the direct and indirect effects on overall satisfaction. This provides insight into which levers need to be pulled.
