Abstract

The quality of postpaid electricity billing information services is a critical factor in maintaining customer satisfaction and the operational sustainability of electricity service providers. However, the complexity of identifying service quality gaps requires an integrative and comprehensive approach. The integration of a mixed methods approach with the SERVQUAL model is considered to have the potential to optimise service quality through holistic problem identification and data-driven solutions. This study used a mixed methods design with an explanatory sequential design approach. The quantitative phase was conducted through a survey using a SERVQUAL questionnaire that measured five dimensions of service quality (tangibles, reliability, responsiveness, assurance, empathy) among 400 postpaid electricity customer respondents. Quantitative data were analysed using regression tests and gap analysis to identify discrepancies between customer expectations and perceptions. The qualitative phase was conducted through in-depth interviews with 15 customers and focus group discussions (FGD) with service staff to explore the causes of the gaps and potential solutions. Data integration was carried out through joint display analysis and triangulation. Quantitative analysis revealed negative gaps in all SERVQUAL dimensions, with the highest gaps in reliability (-1.85) and responsiveness (-1.72). The lowest gap was in tangibles (-0.95). Qualitative analysis revealed the root causes, including inaccurate billing information, slow response to complaints, and lack of empathy in communication. Data integration identified three main wastes: waiting time in delivering information, reprocessing billing data, and overburdening the information system. Improvement priorities focused on developing a real-time data integration system and training service staff. The integration of SERVQUAL mixed methods is effective in identifying service quality gaps and root causes that need to be addressed. Optimising the quality of postpaid electricity billing information services requires both a technical approach (improving the information system) and a human approach (staff training). Implementing solutions based on the findings of this study can improve customer satisfaction and operational efficiency. Further studies are recommended to test the effectiveness of the solutions in a broader context.

Abstract

Occupational Safety and Health (OSH) plays a critical role in maintaining safe and sustainable production, particularly in small-scale agro-industrial operations such as coffee processing. This study applies the Hazard Identification, Risk Assessment, and Risk Control (HIRARC) framework to evaluate workplace hazards at Kopi Lanange Jagad, a micro-scale coffee producer in Malang Regency, Indonesia. Field observations and structured interviews were conducted to identify potential hazards across four production stages roasting, grinding, sieving, and packaging. Quantitative measurements were also taken, including ambient temperature, noise level, and airborne dust concentration, to provide empirical data for risk evaluation. The findings identified a total of 12 hazards, classified into three risk categories: high (25%), moderate (50%), and low (25%). The roasting process exhibited the highest risk score (R = 18.4), with average workplace temperatures reaching 85°C–120°C, significantly exceeding the national occupational limit of 30°C for moderate workloads (Permenaker No. 5/2018). The grinding stage also presented considerable hazards, with airborne dust concentrations averaging 2.4 mg/m³, approaching the Ministry of Manpower’s threshold limit value (TLV) of 3 mg/m³. Manual packaging was associated with ergonomic strain, where workers lifted 15–20 kg sacks repeatedly, leading to potential musculoskeletal disorders. Risk evaluation revealed that existing control measures such as natural ventilation and sporadic use of personal protective equipment (PPE) were insufficient to ensure worker safety. To reduce these hazards, the study recommends implementing engineering controls such as local exhaust ventilation and machine insulation, combined with administrative measures including job rotation, scheduled rest breaks, and regular safety training. Ensuring consistent PPE use especially heat-resistant gloves, dust masks, and ear protection can further mitigate residual risks. Overall, the application of the HIRARC framework at Kopi Lanange Jagad demonstrates its effectiveness as a low-cost and practical tool for identifying, prioritizing, and managing occupational hazards in small-scale coffee industries. Implementation of the proposed control strategies is projected to reduce total workplace risk by 35–40%, improving both worker well-being and operational productivity.
