Abstract

The purpose of this study was to examine parents' perceptions towards the importance and performance levels of foodservices quality at kindergartens. The questionnaire was developed to measure the thirty-one quality attributes of foodservice operations. A questionnaire survey was conducted to 500 parents and the return rates were 62.4%. The survey period was from July 15 to August 8, 2008. The parents had a high level of perception toward the need for foodservice, earning 4.46 points out of 5 point. Their perceptions of foodservice quality were examined by six dimensions of importance and performance level. While the parents gave 4 points or greater of 5 points to most quality attributes of importance level, they gave 4 points or less out of 5 points to most quality attributes of performance level. As for the importance and performance level of the quality dimensions of foodservice, parents regarded sanitation as the most important dimension. IPA showed that 'ventilation', 'sanitation of tableware' and 'sanitation of dining tables and chairs' were included as 'focus' areas. The overall satisfaction level for foodservice was 3.74 out of 5 points A higher level of satisfaction was shown at self-operated foodservice system of kindergartens. According to multiple regression analysis, 46.3% of the variance in the respondents' overall satisfaction scores was explained by factors such as food, menu and price, facilities, sanitation, atmosphere and foodservice effects.

본 연구는 충북지역 유치원 재학원아의 학부모 312명을 대상으로 급식의 이용실태, 인식, 31개 급식품질특성에 대한 중요도 및 수행도와 전반적인 만족도를 분석함으로써 향후 유치원 급식의 질 향상과 합리적인 운영에 기초가 되는 자료를 제공하고자 하였다. 조사대상인 학부모 중 여성이 66.7%, 남성이 33.3%이었으며, 아버지의 직업은 84.5%가 직장인이었으며 어머니의 직업은 54.5%가 직장인이었다. 조사대상 유치원에 재학 중인 자녀는 남자가 61.2%, 여자 38.8%로 나타났고 자녀의 나이는 만 5세가 36.5%로 가장 많았다. 유치원의 급식담당자를 대상으로 급식 운영 실태를 조사한 결과 영양사가 배치된 곳은 77.3%이었으며 영양사 미배치 시 식단 작성은 원장, 원감 또는 보육정보센터를 이용하는 경우가 40%로 높았다. 조리사가 배치된 유치원은 81.8%이었으며 배치된 조리사의 수가 1명인 경우가 대부분으로 조사되었으며 식사장소로는 유치원 전용급식실 이용하는 곳이 29.6%로 나타났고 급식비는 1달 20일 기준으로 평균 1927.95원이었다. 학부모대상 유치원 급식에 대한 의견조사 결과 급식 참여이유에 대해 '시간 연장제, 종일제 수업으로 인하여'가 50.5%로 가장 높은 응답률을 나타냈고, 점심급식 이외의 추가급식을 원하는지에 대해서는 추가급식을 원하지 않는 경우가 71.5%로 나타났다. 학부모의 급식 필요성에 대한 인식도 조사 결과 평균 4.46점으로 나타나 높은 수준인 것으로 나타났으며 유치원 급식서비스 품질특성에 대한 중요도 및 수행도 측정도구의 타당성을 검증하기 위한 요인분석결과 31개 속성들은 음식, 메뉴, 시설, 위생, 분위기, 급식효과 영역의 6개 영역으로 구분되었다. 급식 품질특성에 대한 중요도와 수행도 분석결과 속성과 영역 모두에서 중요도가 수행도 보다 높게 평가되어 모든 품질에 대해 개선이 요구되는 것으로 나타났다. 중요도-수행도 분석결과를 도식화 한 결과 '식탁 및 의자의 안전성', '환기', '식기의 위생', '식탁 및 의자의 위생', '식탁 및 의자의 위생'으로 속성이 중요하다고 판단되지만 잘 수행되지 않는 것으로 나타났다. 유치원이 위치한 지역, 시설유형, 급식운영 형태에 따라 학부모가 인식하는 급식의 중요도 및 수행도를 비교한 결과 군지역의 중요도 및 수행도 점수가 더 높았고 위생영역은 사립유치원에서, 급식의 효과 영역은 국 공립 유치원에서의 수행도 점수가 높았으며 공동운영일 경우 중요도 및 수행도 점수가 더 높았다. 유치원 급식에 대한 전반적인 만족도를 조사한 결과 평균 3.74점으로 보통수준의 만족도 점수를 나타냈다. 전반적인 만족도에 영향을 주는 급식품질속성을 분석한 결과 31개 속성들이 전반적인 만족도에 대해 46.31%의 설명력을 보였으며 '안전한 식재료'가 전반적인 만족도에 가장 유의한 영향을 주는 것으로 나타났다. 따라서 정부보조금의 확대와 시설운영에 있어서 보다 적극적인 행정기관의 지원 체계 강화가 요구되며 급식의 원료자원인 음식 및 물적 자원인 급식관련 시설 위생과 식사시설의 지속적인 개선이 요구된다. 또한 전반적인 만족도에 영향을 주는 급식서비스 품질속성을 고려하여 보다 보완되고 체계화된 유치원 급식프로 그램의 명문화가 요구된다.
