Abstract
Student satisfaction associated with persistence, academic performance, retention and its relations to career advancement were examined in this inquiry. It was aimed at measuring service quality as a foundation of satisfaction delivered by Universitas Terbuka Indonesia perceived by students. It was also of interests to exhibit on how and in what comportments all variables engaged interrelated within service quality context. The study was conducted under Mixed Methods (Explanatory Design; quantitative first, followed by qualitative). Data was collected proportionally and purposively by survey using questionnaire, followed by congregating them over again through unified in-depth interviews and focus group discussions. Population was 1,814 students domiciled overseas; 350 questionnaires were dispersed and 169 were completed (9.21%). Satisfaction was assessed by examining dimensions of service quality (reliability, assurance, tangible, empathy, and responsiveness). Both importance-performance analysis (IPA) and customer satisfaction index (CSI) were applied simultaneously to measure satisfaction and the level of its importance. Structural equation model (SEM) was then employed to validate influencing traits of variables engaged. Nine hypotheses developed were all significantly validated by the analysis. It was understood that aspects on responsiveness, assurance, tangible, reliability, and empathy were sequentially in harmony to satisfaction. Career advancement, retention, academic performance, and persistence were positively influenced by satisfaction respectively. Likewise, qualitative inquiry implemented afterwards was basically coherent with the previous findings accomplished quantitatively with slight and minor disparities.
