Assessing Student Satisfaction and Institutional Efficiency in Dormitory Management: A Qualitative Analysis Based on Student Perspectives

This research examines the information management processes implemented in student dormitories and evaluates the enhancement of institutional efficiency based on student satisfaction. The study involved 150 students residing in dormitories across two universities, and data were collected through participant interviews. The findings indicate that while dormitory management is perceived as effective in some areas, there are significant opportunities for improvement in information management, communication, and service quality. Based on the student feedback, this article proposes several strategies to enhance dormitory management, including the adoption of digital platforms for better communication, regular maintenance schedules, and improved transparency in financial management. The challenges of implementing these measures, such as resource constraints and institutional resistance to change, are also discussed. These recommendations aim to improve student satisfaction and, consequently, institutional efficiency.

Abstract

This research examines the information management processes implemented in student dormitories and evaluates the enhancement of institutional efficiency based on student satisfaction. The study involved 150 students residing in dormitories across two universities, and data were collected through participant interviews. The findings indicate that while dormitory management is perceived as effective in some areas, there are significant opportunities for improvement in information management, communication, and service quality. Based on the student feedback, this article proposes several strategies to enhance dormitory management, including the adoption of digital platforms for better communication, regular maintenance schedules, and improved transparency in financial management. The challenges of implementing these measures, such as resource constraints and institutional resistance to change, are also discussed. These recommendations aim to improve student satisfaction and, consequently, institutional efficiency.
