초록

소비자들은 같은 기능을 가진 제품일지라도 브랜드 이미지에 따라 다르게 인식한다. 본 연구는 스마트폰의 브랜드 이미지가 고객만족과 충성도에 미치는 영향을 확인하고, 스마트폰의 대표 브랜드인 갤럭시와 아이폰의 사용자 집단에 따른 차이가 있는지 비교하고자 한다. 이를 위해 브랜드 이미지는 기능적, 상징적, 경험적 이미지로 구분하고, 고객충성도는 태도적, 행동적 충성도로 구분하여 이들 요인들의 영향력을 실증적으로 확인하였다. 연구결과 기능적, 경험적 이미지는 만족도에 긍정적인 영향을 미치는 반면, 상징적 이미지는 유의한 영향을 미치지 않는 것으로 확인되었다. 또한 만족도는 태도적, 행동적 충성도에 유의한 영향을 미치고, 태도적 충성도는 행동적 충성도에 유의한 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 마지막으로 갤럭시와 아이폰 사용자 집단의 다중집단분석 결과 고객만족과 태도적 충성도 간의 경로에서 통계적으로 유의한 차이가 나타났다.

Even though the features of the products are almost identical, customers' reactions to each product are quite different depending on the brand image. The purpose of this study is to verify the effects of smart phone's brand images on customer's satisfaction and loyalty and compare the differences between user groups of the Galaxy and iPhone, two representative brands of smart phone. In order to do this, their brand images were classified into functional, symbolic and experiential brand images, and customer's loyalty was also classified into attitudinal and behavioral ones to empirically confirm the influence of those factors. The findings showed that functional and experiential brand images had a positive effect on their level of satisfaction, while symbolic brand images did not have a significant effect on it. Furthermore, it was found that the satisfaction level had a significant effect on attitudinal and behavioral loyalty, and attitudinal loyalty also had a significant effect on behavioral loyalty. Finally, a multiple group analysis of the user groups of Galaxy and iPhone determined that there was a statistically significant difference in the channel between customer satisfaction and attitudinal loyalty.
