This research aims to explore how to enhance the service quality of short-term shared spaces through the Service Triangle model, with Company A as the case study. With the transformation of flexible working and the increase in freelancing, the demand for the third space has surged, leading to the rise of the short-term shared space. These spaces have become a popular choice for individuals seeking flexible, temporary spaces where they can engage in various activities. However, unlike traditional service industries, short-term shared space features a self-service nature that eliminates the need for direct interaction with employees during the service process, presenting new challenges for improving service quality. The Service Triangle model comprises three core elements: service strategy, service systems, and human resources. The effective interaction among these elements is crucial for enhancing service quality. This research first analyzes the existing service model of Company A in the short-term shared space industry, highlighting its self-service characteristics and identifying relative weaknesses in its human resources, service systems, and service strategies.
This research employs a qualitative approach, conducting literature reviews, semi-structured interviews with Company A's manager and users aged 20 to 39 to understand customer needs and existing service weaknesses. The qualitative analysis of the interview data is used to refine the Service Triangle analysis, providing a comprehensive assessment of Company A's service quality. The analysis results indicate that Company A can enhance service quality by refining its service strategy, strengthening service systems, and improving the capabilities of human resource. Specific recommendations include enhancing service system functions, providing more comprehensive customer service guidance, and improving employees' remote support and response capabilities. These measures can improve customer satisfaction and service quality without significantly increasing labor costs and further strengthen competitive advantages. The study's findings demonstrate that short-term shared space enterprises can achieve high-quality service within limited resources, offering customers a superior user experience. This has important implications for the future development of the short-term shared space industry.
