Abstract

This study was conducted to identify the effect of a flight attendant's uniform quality on uniform satisfaction and on selecting an airline. To do that, uniform components were first classified into three factors esthetics, functionality, and symbolization. Then the differences of respondents'perception were tested according to the demographics of respondents. Finally the causal relationships among three uniform components, uniform satisfaction and select airline were examined. For the empirical study, the questionnaire data were collected from college and university student studying cabin crew service. The result of this study showed that the perceptions of students who study cabin crew service were significant on according some demographics information, esthetics, functionality and symbolization factors affecting uniform satisfaction, which had the positive effect on selecting an airline. These results suggested practical implications for cabin crew's uniform. These result include important managerial implications for the airlines. Also there was some limitation on a hypothesis of study and the further study were needed.

본 연구는 항공사 승무원 관련학과의 재학생을 대상으로 항공사 승무원의 유니폼 특성이 유니폼 만족도와 항공사 선택에 미치는 영향에 관해 연구하였다. 이를 위해 항공사 승무원의 유니폼 구성요소를 심미성, 상징성, 기능성의 세 가지 요인으로 나누고 어떠한 요소가 유니폼 만족도와 항공사 선택결정에 영향을 미치는지 실증분석을 통해 알아보고자 하였다. 이를 위해 국내 2년제와 4년제 항공사 승무원 관련학과 학생들을 대상으로 설문을 수집하여, 데이터 분석을 통한 실증연구를 하였다. 실증분석의 결과 유니폼구성요소중 심미성, 기능성 상징성이 모두 유니폼 만족도와 항공사 선택결정에 유의미한 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 이는 항공사 승무원들의 유니폼이 가지는 특성들이 대학생들이 기업선택결정을 할 때 많은 비중을 차지하게 된다는 것을 시사하고 있다. 따라서 후속연구에서는 항공사 승무원들의 유니폼에 있어 심미성, 상징성, 기능성을 고려하여 유니폼 만족도를 높이고 이것이 항공사 기업선택결정에까지 긍정적인 영향을 미칠 수 있도록 노력하는 것이 중요하다는 경영학적 시사점을 제시한 것이라 할 수 있다. 또한 본 연구에서는 연구가설 검증과 함께 연구가 가지는 한계성을 제시하여 후속연구의 방향을 제시하였다.
