Abstract
This study analyzed the impact of peoples expectations on policy
satisfaction in South Korea, using an expectancy disconfirmation model wherein
service satisfaction is decided by expectation and performance. Though recent
studies have applied the model to evaluations of specific public services, this
study applied it to macro policies in South Korea. To measure expectation levels,
proxy variables were used: peoples trust in participants who have influence
on policy and in the policy-making process. The results were not compatible
with the model: the models implication that higher expectations induce lower
satisfaction did not fit macro policy cases, where high expectations had a significant
positive influence on satisfaction. Moreover, the type of expectation that is
the focus of marketing studies, predictive expectation, is not appropriate to use
with public policy cases; the quantity of prior experiences as a basis of predictive
expectation is not significant to policy satisfaction. Expectation is obviously
an important factor in the publics evaluation of policy outputs, but further studies
are necessary to fully understand its role.
