Abstract

This study attempted to identify the relationships among perceived value (hedonic and utilitarian values), consumption emotions, and satisfaction. In addition, this study also tested the relationships of measurement items of these variables. The data were collected from American restaurant diners who have experienced any Asian restaurants within the last 30 days. A total of 435 responses was used for data analysis. Descriptive statistics, principal component analysis, reliability test, and regression analysis were utilized to analyze the data. The results found that hedonic value influenced positive emotions and satisfaction. Utilitarian value increased positive emotions and satisfaction while decreases negative emotions. In addition, positive emotions increased customer satisfaction; negative emotions decreased customer satisfaction. In the measurement level, traditional music, traditional aspects of food, and restaurant layout of hedonic value influenced positive emotions and interior design had an impact on customer satisfaction. On the other hand, food taste and healthy food option of utilitarian value influenced positive emotions and satisfaction; only food taste was negatively related to negative emotions. Managerial implications were provided.

본 연구의 목적은 지각된 가치(쾌락적 가치, 실용적 가치)가 소비감정과 고객만족에 미치는 영향을 살펴보고 나아가 각 개념들의 측정변수 사이에 내재한 관계를 파악하는데 있다. 연구 자료는 최근 한 달간 아시아 레스토랑을 방문한 경험이 있는 미국인들을 대상으로 수집하였으며, 총 435개의 자료를 가지고 기술통계분석, 요인분석, 신뢰도분석, 회귀분석을 실시하였다. 분석결과 쾌락적 가치와 실용적 가치 모두 긍정적 감정과 고객만족에 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났으나, 실용적 가치만이 부정적 감정에 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 측정변수 간의 관계를 분석한 결과 쾌락적 가치인 전통음악, 전통음식, 레스토랑 배치가 긍정적 감정에 영향을 미쳤으며, 인테리어 디자인은 고객만족에 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 반면 실용적 가치인 음식의 맛과 건강한 음식종류는 긍정적 감정과 고객만족에 영향을 미쳤으며, 음식의 맛만이 부정적 감정에 영향을 미치는 것으로 밝혀졌다. 이에 대한 실무적 시시점을 결론에 제시하였다.
