Abstract

The purpose of this study was to analyze the effect of the consumer-brand relationship quality on the brand loyalty in family restaurants. Questionnaires were distributed to 320 students in K University located in Masan, who were sampled by convenience-sampling method. The surveys were conducted from November, 10 to 24, 2005. Of the 287 returned questionnaires, 15 unusable questionnaires were excluded to leave 272 for use in the final analysis(response rate: 85.0%). For the statistical analysis, SPSS(12.0)was used to conduct the descriptive analysis, factor analysis, reliability analysis, correlation and multiple regression analysis. The results of this study showed that 2 constructs (satisfaction and intimacy) of consumer-brand relationship quality have significantly positive effects on the brand loyalty in family restaurants(p<.01). This indicates that as consumer-brand relationship quality strengthens, the customer's brand loyalty increases. In conclusion, food service managers in family restaurants should focus on the marketing strategies to strengthen the quality of consumer-brand relationship in order to increase the brand loyalty of customers.

본 연구에서는 패밀리 레스토랑에 있어서 소비자-브랜드 관계의 질이 고객의 브랜드 충성도에 영향 미치는 지를 알아보고자 마산 지역에 위치한 K 대학의 대학생들을 대상으로 설문조사를 실시하였다. 설문조사내용으로는 인구통계학적 자료, 패밀리 레스토랑 이용실태, 소비자-브랜드 관계의 질 그리고 브랜드 충성도에 관한 문항으로 구성하였다. 2005년 11월 20일부터 24일까지 총 320부의 설문지를 배포하여 272부가 회수되어 85.0%의 회수율을 보였다. 본 조사를 위한 측정도구의 신뢰도 검증 결과 Cronbach's alpha 계수가 0.7이상으로 높은 신뢰도를 나타내었으며 타당도 검증 결과 60%이상의 설명력을 나타내 높은 타당성을 나타내었다. 패밀리 레스토랑의 소비자-브랜드 관계의 질(독립변수)이 브랜드 충성도(종속변수)에 영향 미치는 지분석하기 위하여 다중회귀분석을 실시한 결과 독립변수가 종속변수에 미치는 영향력은 36.1%의 설명력을 보였으며, 소비자-브랜드 관계의 질의 5개 구성 요소(자아연계적 애착, 만족도, 신뢰, 몰입, 친밀감) 중에서 만족도와 친밀감의 2개 구성요소가 유의수준 p<0.01에서 유의적으로 브랜드 충성도에 정(+)의 영향을 미치는 것을 알 수 있었다. 결론적으로 소비자-브랜드 관계의 질이 강하게 형성될수록 소비자의 브랜드 충성도가 높아지는 것임이 입증되었다 따라서 향후 패밀리레스토랑 운영자들은 궁극적으로 소비자의 브랜드 충성도 형성을 통한 꾸준한 매출과 성장을 위하여서는 기존의 브랜드에 대한 홍보보다는 소비자-브랜드 관계의 질을 강하게 형성할 수 있는 마케팅 전략을 강화하도록 하여야 할 것이다.
