초록

소비자와의 장기적 관계 관리가 강조되는 현 시점에서, 소비자들이 인터넷 쇼핑몰에서 의류제품을 구매할 때 지각하는 관계혜택에 초점을 두고, 소비자들의 관계혜택지각이 쇼핑몰에 대한 관계몰입 및 충성도에 미치는 영향을 규명하고자 하였다. 본 연구를 위해 인터넷 의류구매 경험이 있는 20대 및 30대 남녀 소비자 343명에게 설문조사하였다. 연구결과, 인터넷 의류구매에서의 관계혜택지각은 쇼핑몰에 대한 관계몰입 및 충성도에 유의한 영향을 미쳐, 관계혜택지각이 클수록 쇼핑몰에 대한 관계몰입 및 충성도가 높은 것으로 나타났다. 또한 관계혜택지각 차원에 따라 소비자들을 유형화한 결과, 소비자들은 '사회적 혜택지각 집단', 경제/쇼핑편이성 혜택지각 집단', '쇼핑편이성 혜택지각 집단', '고객화 혜택지각 집단', '정보적 혜택지각 집단', '심리적 혜택지각 집단'으로 구분되었으며, 이들의 쇼핑몰에 대한 관계몰입 및 충성도에도 유의한 차이가 있는 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구는 인터넷 기업이 고객과의 관계를 결속시키고 나아가 쇼핑몰에 대한 충성도를 높이는데 도움을 줄 수 있을 것으로 본다.

Companies can build a close relationship by providing benefits that consumers want. As long relationships between consumer and company are stressed these days, it is very important for the growth and development of companies to assess what benefits consumers perceive and how they reflect them to their buying behaviors. Thus, this study aims to examine the relational benefits that consumers perceive in internet clothing purchase and how these perceived relational benefits affects relational commitment and customer loyalty. This study surveyed 343 male and female in their 20s and 30s for empirical analysis who have ever purchased clothing through internet shopping malls. Descriptive statistics, factor analysis, ANOVA analysis, Duncan test, and ${\chi}^2$-test are carried out using SPSS for Windows 12.0 for statistical analysis. The results are as follows. First, the dimensions of relational benefits perceived by consumers in internet clothing purchase are found 6 including customization, economic, psychological, social, shopping convenience, and informational. Second, consumers' perception of relational benefits significantly affect on relational commitment and loyalty, thus consumers with greater recognition of relational benefits have higher relational commitment and loyalty. Third, based on the dimensions of consumer's perceived relational benefit, consumers are categorized into 6 types: group perceiving social benefit, group perceiving economic/shopping convenience benefit, group perceiving shopping convenience benefit, group perceiving customization benefit, group perceiving informational benefit, and group perceiving psychological benefit. The group perceiving customization benefits have higher relational commitment and loyalty than the others. It is expected that this study will help internet companies establish customer relationship management strategies, which are needed to promote relationships with customers and to enhance customers' loyalty to internet shopping malls.
