Amir Parnian1, Narges Hosseini2, Wong, Shwu Fen3.
This article represents the differences between expectations and perceptions of service quality among international postgraduate students in UTM by calculating the gap scores in SERVQUAL scale. In addition, this article indicates the service quality dimensions which are evident among these students by using all calculated gap scores in factor analysis. Also, one sample t-test was conducted to find the level of service quality from the perspective of the participants. This study used a modified service quality (SERVQUAL) instrument which was validated by a pilot study and distributed to 353 of international postgraduate students in UTM who were selected by stratified sampling to reach to its results. The results demonstrate the negative gap scores among all 22 items of SERVQUAL scale and it shows that the students’ expectations of service quality are more than their perceived service quality in this university. Additionally, four dimensions, namely tangible, consistency, assurance and compassion, were identified in the SERVQUAL scale. Finally, the low level of service quality is demonstrated from the perspective of international postgraduate students in UTM.
