Abstract

In order to maximize customer satisfaction and provide differentiated customer-oriented marketing strategies, it is important to understand the essence of consumer behavior and characteristics of their market segmentation. Therefore, this study explored the relationships among five different food-related lifestyle (i.e., health, fashion, taste, economy and safety oriented), positive emotion, and satisfaction. An analysis of 338 samples drawn from college students who visited coffeehouse at least once in the previous months was performed. The results revealed that, taste, economy, and safety oriented lifestyle significantly affected positive emotion, and positive emotion significantly affected satisfaction. The findings highlight the significant role of coffeehouse customer food-related lifestyle toward positive emotion in the formation of satisfaction, and therefore generate theoretical and practical implications for the coffeehouse industry.

본 연구는 커피전문점을 이용하는 대학생의 라이프스타일 유형별 특성에 따른 긍정감정반응과 만족도의 구조적 관계를 통해 이에 따른 시사점을 제시하는데 목적이 있다. 자료 분석을 위해 2014년 6월 한 달 동안 서울지역 거주 대학생을 중심으로 설문지를 배포하였고, 총 338명의 자료가 실증분석에 적용되었다. 분석은 SPSS 20.0과 AMOS 20.0을 이용 빈도분석, 요인분석, 신뢰성 분석과 더불어 공분산구조 분석을 실시하였으며, 분석 결과는 다음과 같다. 라이프스타일의 하위요인으로는 건강추구형, 유형추구형, 미각추구형, 경제추구형, 안정추구형으로 나타났고, 이 중 미각추구형, 경제추구형, 안정추구형은 긍정감정에 유의한 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 또한, 긍정감정은 만족도에 영향을 미치는 것으로 분석되었다. 이와 같은 결과를 바탕으로 커피소비고객의 만족도를 높이기 위해서는 유형별 특성에 맞는 차별화된 전략을 통해 긍정감정을 유발하여야 할 것이다. 또한, 지속적인 매출증대와 경쟁적 우위를 선점하기 위해서 표적 마케팅을 통해 전략적 포지셔닝을 할 필요성이 있을 것으로 사료된다.
