Abstract

This research article aims to study the organizational characteristics of service users, their perception of service quality, their trust in service providers, and their satisfaction with the industrial waste transportation services provided by K.M.W. Transport Company Limited. This is a quantitative study. Data were collected using a one-time survey found that the majority of the sample groups were intermediary organizations/agents in the procurement of transportation vehicles, accounting for 42.0%. The business group of substances that are easily reactive represented 28.2% of the sample. The amount of waste sent for disposal per month was predominantly 101-200 tons, accounting for 32.0%. The study primarily covered the areas of Chonburi province for 32.3%. Moreover, service users' perception of service quality was at a highest level, with an average score of 4.82. Users' trust in service providers was also highest, with an average score of 4.88. Overall, user satisfaction was highest, with an average score of 4.84. The results of hypothesis testing found that different organizational features influence perceptions of the service quality of industrial waste transport providers, specifically the type of organization and the amount of waste. Additionally, these features impact trust in industrial waste transportation service providers, varying by organization type, amount of waste, and location. Satisfaction with industrial waste transportation service providers also differs based on the type of organization. Trust in service providers positively influences satisfaction with industrial waste transportation services, with statistical significance at the 0.05 level.
