Citizen Satisfaction Survey
The Citizen Satisfaction Survey (CSS) measures public satisfaction with government services, infrastructure, and institutions across multiple dimensions (access, responsiveness, quality, fairness, transparency). Rooted in expectancy-disconfirmation theory (James, 2009) and the American Customer Satisfaction Index (Fornell et al., 1996), the CSS operationalizes citizen satisfaction as a key accountability metric and driver of institutional legitimacy. Essential for government agencies, public utilities, and civic institutions seeking to monitor service performance, identify improvement priorities, and demonstrate responsiveness to public needs.
