초록

본 연구의 목적은 소비자의 명품의 구매의도에 영향을 미치는 명품성의 결정요인에 대하여 기업속성과 인지 구조적 관계를 규명하는 것이다. 명품성은 소비자에게 핵심가치를 제공하는 기능적 혜택, 경험적 혜택, 상징적 혜택, 배타적 혜택을 유인하며 소비자의 심리적 만족에 영향을 미치는 요인이다. 기존의 연구들은 소비자가 지각하는 명품성에 기업의 특성이 미치는 영향에 대하여 충분히 설명하지 못하고 있다. 본 연구에서는 소비자가 지각하는 명품이 무엇이고, 명품성이 무엇인지를 마케팅관점에서 개념화하기 위하여 선행이론을 바탕으로 연구모형을 새롭게 제시하였다. 구체적으로는, 기업속성은 기업역량과 기업평판으로 구분하고, 명품성 요인은 우월성, 희소성, 차별성, 전통성으로 구분하여 기업속성과 명품성이 소비자의 구매의도에 미치는 영향 관계를 실증적으로 분석하고자, 총 282개의 표본을 대상으로 분석을 실시하였다. 조사대상제품은 명품 소비자를 대상으로 사전 조사된 B브랜드의 자동차로 하였다. 구조방정식 모형을 이용한 가설 검정결과, 기업속성과 명품성의 관계에서 기업속성 중 기업역량은 명품성의 차별성과 전통성에 유의한 영향을 미치며, 기업평판은 우월성과 희소성에 유의한 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 그리고 명품성의 우월성, 희소성은 구매의도에 통계적으로 유의한 긍정적 영향을 미쳤으나, 명품성의 차별성과 전통성은 구매의도에 부정적인 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구에서 제시된 명품과 명품성의 구조적 개념은 새로운 연구모형을 구축하는데 이론적 기반을 제공할 것이며, 명품성의 결정요인은 소비자의 심리적 내적동기 요인을 확인하는데 실무적으로 도움이 될 것이다.

This purpose of this study is to academically define what "luxury products" mean, and to clarify the cognitive structural relationship between corporate attributes and "luxuriousness" in relation to the determinant of luxuriousness that eventually affects the purchase intention of consumers. This study is also written under the theory that luxuriousness leads to benefits such as functional benefit, experiential benefit, symbolic benefit, and exclusive benefit; which all provide core values to consumers and serve as effect factors that influence the psychological satisfaction of consumers. The commonly discussed measure of the determinant of luxuriousness has often failed to adequately describe the reasons to why the consumers prefer luxury products. This study also aims to suggest a new path in how and what the consumers perceive as luxury products, and to conceptualize what luxuriousness means in the marketing perspectives on the background of a previous theory. The part of corporate attributes are divided in the following sections: corporate ability(CA) and corporate reputation(CR). The part of the determinant of luxuriousness is divided in sections of superiority, scarcity, differentiation, and traditionality. Therefore, this study used the theoretical concept used in such common measures as well as 282 examples to empirically analyze the relationship between corporate attributes and luxuriousness of luxury products, and how such affect the purchase intentions of consumers. The survey used to aid this study targeted luxury product consumers regarding "B" brand of automobiles. Using the analysis through a structural equation model, the study draws a conclusion that in a relationship between corporate attributes and luxuriousness, corporate ability(CA) of corporate attributes affects the facts of differentiation and traditionality in a significant way, and corporate reputation(CR) of corporate attributes affects the factors of superiority and scarcity in a significant way. Additionally, the superiority and scarcity of luxuriousness positive significantly affects purchase intention, and differentiation and traditionality of luxuriousness affects purchase intention in a negative significant way. The structural concept of luxury and luxuriousness suggested in the study will provide the theoretical basis for building a new case study, and the determinants of luxuriousness in the marketing perspective will be a practical help for checking the consumers' psychological reasons for purchase.
