摘要

A study of consumer behavior within service management frequently requires the use of techniques that reach to the core of consumer thoughts, actions and feelings. This paper analyses the rationale that can lead to the choice of a research tool such as participant observation within a service industry case - the tourism industry and a specific research study of tourists on a long-haul tour. The advantages of participant observation with regard to the description, analysis and evaluation of service situations are favourably contrasted with customer service questionnaires - although, of course, the need for triangulation is also stressed. The paper outlines some of the key practical issues that are confronted through the participant observation technique. The focus of the specific research study relates to tourist satisfaction but it is envisaged and explained how other research areas and service management questions can be investigated through the technique. Consequently, it is suggested that both academic researchers and commercial organisations might consider the wider adoption of the technique. The thoughts, actions and feelings of the consumer are better viewed from within, rather than from outside, the context of the service experience.
