Abstract

Professional coffee shops are trying to increase customers' satisfaction and to invite more customers by providing the differentiated services. The existing researches show that the effects which the physical environment in shops has on customers' satisfaction and word of mouth intention are appealing to people's attention. In comprehensively examining the studies related to the physical environment, they can be summarized into two main perspectives, that is, the direct effect that the physical environment has on customers' satisfaction, quality perception, and other customers' responses (purchase desire, revisit intention, etc.) and the indirect effect that the physical environment has on customers' responses by means of customers' emotion or value perception. This research established 4 hypotheses by sampling 321 customers of those who have visited professional coffee shops, and empirically analyzed them. The empirical analysis carried out the structure analysis of covariance by using SPSS 17.0 statistics package and AMOS 17.0. As a result of the hypothesis qualification, the other hypotheses excluding one little hypothesis were adopted. The one refused hypothesis is that the only symbolism of the environmental elements in shops doesn't influence the customers' emotion positively (+). This is considered as a very unexpected result, and yet many customers who visit coffee shops express the symbols of professional coffee shops using the expressions such as 'bean coffee shop' or 'star coffee shop', but these expressions seem not to influence customers' mind positively in practice.

본 연구는 커피 전문점 물리적 환경이 충성도 및 구전의도에 영향을 미치는데 있어, 새로운 심리적 요인으로 '소비감정(Consumption emotion)'의 매개역할을 규명하고 관계성을 파악하고자 하는 연구로써 커피전문점의 점포내 물리적 환경 변화를 통한 고객만족과 구매의도를 증대시키는 마케팅전략 대안을 제시하는데 연구목적이 있다. 물리적 환경과 관련된 연구들을 종합적으로 고찰해볼 때, 크게 두 가지 관점으로 정리해 볼 수 있는데, 즉, 물리적 환경이 고객만족, 품질지각 및 기타 소비자 반응(구매의도, 재방문의도 등)에 미치는 직접적인 효과와 물리적 환경이 고객 감정 혹은 가치지각을 매개로 소비자 반응에 미치는 간접적 효과로 나누어서 볼 수 있다. 본 연구는 커피전문점 이용경험을 가진 이용객중에서 321명을 표본으로 4개의 가설을 설정하고, 실증분석 하였다. 실증분석은 SPSS 17.0 통계 패키지와 AMOS 17.0을 이용하여 공분산 구조분석을 실시하였다. 가설 검증한 결과 1개의 소가설을 제외하고 나머지 가설들을 채택되었다. 거부된 하나의 가설을 점포내환경중에서 상징성만이 긍정적 소비감정에 정(+) 영향을 미치지 않는 것으로 나타났다. 매우 의외적인 결과라고 연구자 판단되는데, 커피점을 이용하는 고객들이 콩다방, 별다방이라는 표현을 사용하여 커피전문점 심벌이나 상징을 많은 소비자들이 표현하는데 이런 표현이 실제적으로 소비자 마음속에 긍정적 소비감정에 영향을 미치지 않는 것으로 판단이 된다. 채택된 가설들을 통해서 최근 제품이나 서비스의 표준화를 통해서 제품이나 서비스 차별화가 사라지는 추세에서 소비자들에게 긍정적인 소비감정이나 충성도를 향상하기 위해서는 점포내 물리적환경과 같은 부차적인 요소에 대한 관심과 관리가 필요하다.
