Abstract

This study explores an initial framework for online product categorization by examining the relationships among Internet motivations, buying tendencies, and online purchase intentions for product categories. A total of 217 usable questionnaires were obtained from respondents in a southwestern state in the United States. A path model using a correlation matrix with maximum likelihood was estimated using LISREL 8.53. Findings indicated that Internet motivations consisted of four factors: Diversion, Economic, Information, and Social motivations. In addition, online products were classified into three categories based on purchase intentions: Sensory, Cognitive, and Search products. Estimated path model showed that diversion and economic motivations affected impulse buying tendency, whereas economic, information and social motivations influenced planned buying tendency in the online context. Also, the buying tendencies were significantly related to online purchase intentions for the product categories. Purchase intentions for sensory products were more strongly affected by impulse buying tendency, whereas purchase intentions for cognitive and search products were more strongly affected by planned buying tendency. Theoretical and managerial implications were discussed for devising an appropriate e-market strategy for specific product categories.

본 연구는 소비자의 인터넷 사용동기, 온라인 구매성향과 제품구매의도 사이의 관계를 밝힘으로써 온라인 상품 범주화의 기초 개념을 밝히고자 하였다. 조사대상은 미국 남서부 지역에 거주하는 대학생 총 217명으로 구성되었으며, 자료분석을 위해 요인분석과 경로모델을 추정하였다. 분석결과, 소비자의 인터넷 동기는 기분전환, 경제적, 정보적, 사회적 동기의 4개 요인으로 분류되었다. 또한 온라인 제품은 구매의도에 따라 감각상품, 인지상품과 탐색상품의 3개 범주로 분류되었다. 경로모델의 추정결과, 인터넷 사용의 기분전환과 경제적 동기요인이 충동구매성향에 영향을 주는 반면, 경제적, 정보적, 사회적 동기요인은 계획구매성향에 영향을 주는 것으로 나타났다. 온라인 구매의도에 있어서, 감각상품은 충동구매성향과 더 높은 관계를 나타낸 반면, 인지상품과 탐색상품은 계획구매성향과 더 높은 관계를 나타냈다. 또한, 인지상품은 경제적 동기에 근거한 계획구매성향에 의해 더 강한 효과를 보였으며, 탐색상품은 정보적 동기에 의한 계획구매성향에 의해 더 강한 효과를 나타났다. 따라서 본 연구는 특정 상품 범주에 따른 이론적 정립과적절한I-마케팅 전략의 관리적 측면이 논의되었다.
