Abstract

The purchasing behavior of consumers is related to service quality and corporate social responsibility (CSR). Therefore, CSR is recognized as an important factor in company strategies. This study determines the relationship between the CSR activities of KORAIL and the reuse intention and recommendation intention of the consumer. CSR is composed of economic, legal, philanthropic, ethical, and environmental responsibilities. In the results of the structural equation modeling analyses, legal responsibility and economic reliability affect the reliability of KORAIL and this reliability affects the customers' reliability and loyalty. This paper proposes a compliance program, wagon safety information, customized tour packages, and communication strategy that will increase customer's reliability and loyalty.

소비자의 구매행동이 기업에 의해 제공되는 서비스 품질뿐 아니라 기업의 사회적 책임에도 영향을 받는다고 보고되며, 사회적 책임 활동은 효율적, 전략적 업무 수행에 필요한 기업의 핵심 요인으로 인식되고 있다. 본 연구는 지금까지 사기업을 중심으로 연구된 사회적 책임 요인을 공기업인 철도공사에 적용함으로써 철도이용자의 행동에 어떤 영향을 미치는지 파악하기 위해 이루어졌다. 철도이용자를 대상으로 설문조사를 실시한 결과, 철도공사의 경제적, 법적 책임 활동이 철도공사의 신뢰에 유의한 영향을 미치며, 신뢰는 철도공사에 대한 고객 충성도에 유의한 긍정적 효과를 미치는 것을 검증했다. 본 연구를 통해 철도공사는 법적 책임 활동과 경제적 책임 활동을 수행함으로써 고객 신뢰를 확보해야 함을 확인 할 수 있었으며, 또한 철도이용자들에게 고객 충성도를 유발시키기 위해 전략으로 준법경영프로그램의 도입, 열차안전관리 정보 제공, 지역 산업과의 연계를 통한 맞춤형 관광 상품의 개발, 커뮤니케이션 전략을 이행할 것을 제안하였다.
