Abstract

En este artículo se exponen los resultados del estudio cuyo objetivo es identificar las motivaciones que impulsarían a las termas de Portugal a implantar y certificar un Sistema de Gestión de Calidad (SGC), conocer los beneficios que perciben que obtendrían de esa implantación, así como analizar el grado de madurez en la gestión de la calidad de estas en la actualidad. La metodología de trabajo consiste en un análisis descriptivo junto con un análisis factorial que nos permitirán validar las escalas de medida. La población objetivo son las termas de Portugal, pertenecientes a la Asociación Termas de Portugal (ATP), con una población objeto de estudio de 32 termas activas. Los resultados obtenidos indican que las motivaciones más importantes que impulsarían a las termas a implantar un SGC son de índole interna (mejorar los procesos y procedimientos internos, el control y la eficiencia de la empresa y servir de base para la Gestión de la Calidad Total). Los principales beneficios que esperan obtener son ofertar servicios de más calidad, mejorar las ventas e incrementar la conciencia de calidad de los empleados. En los factores críticos analizados, las termas de Portugal presentan un nivel de implantación o un grado de madurez superior al 70%.
