본 연구의 목적은 CSR퍼블리시티(긍정 vs. 부정)가 기업이미지와 고객충성도에 미치는 영향을 살펴보는 것이다. 특히 매체신뢰도의 조절 효과를 살펴보았으며, 기업이미지의 CSR퍼블리시티와 고객충성도 간의 매개효과도 살펴보았다. 연구의 결과 1) CSR정보가 긍정적인 경우보다 부정적인 경우에 기업에 미치는 영향은 더 크게 나타났다. 2) 매체신뢰도의 조절효과도 확인되었다. 즉 CSR정보가 긍정적인 경우, 매체 신뢰도가 높을 때는 기업이미지가 높게 나타났지만 매체신뢰도가 낮은 경우에는 기업이미지가 높지 않게 나타났다. 반면에 CSR정보가 부정적인 경우, 매체신뢰도와 관계없이 기업이미지에 미치는 부정적 영향은 차이가 없는 것으로 나타났다. 3) 기업이미지는 고객충성도에 긍정적인 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났으며 CSR퍼블리시티와 고객충성도를 매개하는 것으로 나타났다. 이와 같은 연구결과는 기업이미지와 고객충성도 형성에 있어서 CSR퍼블리시티에 대한 신뢰도가 매우 중요한 요인이며, 매체의 신뢰도 또한 CSR퍼블리시티에 대한 신뢰도에 중요한 요인임을 시사해 주고 있다.
