Literature Review
Most of the families in Dhaka city, taking household services, have
hectic life hence they are buying such services to save time. More over
these services have become quite poplar and are widespread
throughout the city. They are getting newspaper at the time of
breakfast because of the Newspaper Hawker. They can stop getting
tensed about their children’s transportation to school as they have the
Rickshaw Van Service. Cable TV has become a part and parcel of our
life, and the Cable Operator Service made it happen.
Most of our respondents were from gulshan baridhara/ uttara. They are
all job holders having handsome salary. Most of their ages were below
30.
The respondents are still compromising with the service quality of the
household service providers as they are spending hardly 1000 taka to
get this service. So, they don’t have that much expectation from the
service providers. Though most of the respondents are not fully
4
satisfied with the service, they are not willing to change the service
providers. In some cases, monopoly still exists. There may be some
places where only one hawker is available for a large area. There, the
respondents hardly have any option.
Objectives
Broad Objective:
Goal:
Finding what are customers’ needs & wants and the current situation of
household services in consumers’ point of view.

Methodology
For the purpose of the study data and information have been collected
from friends, colleagues and relatives. The relevant information from
the sources is collected in an informal way. Knowing a lot of people and
being in good terms with them made it easier to get the appropriate
information. The information was gathered by asking people to fill up
the questionnaire through regular conversations. The results found
were then analyzed which helped justifying our findings. After
collecting primary data using a structured questionnaire,we inputted
the data to SPSS software. The inputted data in SPSS were analyzed
and interpreted.

Findings
After finishing the survey we found out that 90% of the sample have
newspaper .50% of them took service from Garbage collector, 80%
took local security services, 90% had cable operator service. None of
them took service from Milk man.
Most of them spent not more than 1000 taka to have those services.
50% of them were recommended by others to have those services and
in 50% cases, service provider came to them offering them the service.
Most of them disagreed that service providers showed sincere interest
in solving problem. They were neutral about Service provider’s
performed service right the first time and Service providers provided
service at the promised time but the Service providers do not always
take the problem seriously. Problem usually don’t come back shortly
after complain. Bill charged by service providers is somewhat accurate,
7
monthly bills are delivered on a regular basis but according to many
respondents, the Service providers are not neat in appearance, they
are not well dressed. The service providing time was not always
specific. The service providers explained the original problems. 50%
felt secured in transaction with the service providers and 50% did not.
The service provider employees were not expected to be courteous
and as well not trusted. The service providers did give personal
attention to customers and were concerned about the customer’s best
interest but they failed to understand the specific needs of the
customers. Satisfaction on service providers complaint handling
behavior were neutral but customers were dissatisfied on the service
provided and did not care if they continued dealing with the service
providers. 90% of the respondents’ age were between 21-30. 50% of
the respodents’ were masters, 30% graduate, 20% undergraduate.
80% of the respondents’ income is over 20000 taka .All of the
respondents were service holder. 70% of the respondents were from
gulshan baridhara/ uttara.
Analysis
• The researchers who will work in this area will know about the quality
of household services provided and if it requires any improvement. If
so then the appropriate authorities will be contacted and will be
informed.
8
• Ultimately the consumers will get benefited since they are the ones
buying such services to have a better standard of life. Since more than
50% are having such services it is very important that these services
are provided accurately.
Conclusion
9
Most of The service providers have their certain uniforms but there are
some who does not. The employees are not that courteous and
trustworthy. The problems in the services are not always solved and
after many complaints are made some actions are taken yet the
problem occurs again.
