Abstract

Thus purpose of this study is to examine the structural relationship among the LOHAS image of hotel restaurants, customer well-being menu preference, emotional responses, customer satisfaction, and customer loyalty. To test the hypotheses, a survey was conducted of luxury hotel customers in Busan and Seoul. Of the 400 questionnaires distributed 341 was used final analysis. For the hypotheses testing, frequency analysis, reliability and validity analyses SPSS was used while AMOS was employed to examine the relationship among the measured concepts. The results of testing are shown as follows: LOHAS image of hotel restaurants does have a positive effect on well-being propensity, as well as on customer emotional responses. The cooking function factor of well-being propensity results in a negative emotional responses, while the attractiveness factor of well-being propensity brings about a positive emotional responses. Emotional responses positively affect customer satisfaction, which then positively influences customer loyalty. The arising concept of LOHAS in the service industry can help to develop new menu items for LOHAS or well-being oriented customers. In particular, well-being menu propensity and emotional responses may become more important considerations in marketing strategy formation. This thesis provides a theoretical background of LOHAS image, well-being menu propensity, and emotional responses.

본 연구는 호텔레스토랑을 이용하는 고객을 대상으로 호텔레스토랑의 로하스이미지, 고객의 웰빙메뉴 성향, 감정적 반응, 고객만족, 고객충성도 간의 영향관계를 실증적으로 분석하여 호텔레스토랑의 로하스 정착에 기초 자료를 제공하고, 나아가 고객만족, 고객충성도를 높이기 위한 세부 마케팅 전략 제시와 호텔레스토랑의 이미지 개선에 도움이 되고자 하였다. 그 결과를 요약하면 다음과 같다. 먼저, 호텔레스토랑의 로하스이미지인 친환경성 이미지와 지속가능성 이미지는 웰빙메뉴 성향인 조리기능성과 건강매력성에 유의하게 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 둘째, 호텔레스토랑의 친환경성 이미지와 지속가능성 이미지는 고객의 긍정적 반응에 유의하게 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 셋째, 메뉴의 조리기능성은 부정적 감정 반응에 부적인 영향을 미쳤고, 건강매력성은 긍정적 감정 반응에 유의한 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 넷째, 고객의 감정적 반응은 고객만족에 유의하게 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났고, 고객만족은 고객충성도에 유의한 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 이러한 연구결과를 볼 때 고객이 인지하는 호텔레스토랑의 로하스이미지는 고객이 선호하는 로하스 메뉴를 개발하는데 영향을 미치는 중요한 선행요인임이 밝혀졌다. 또한, 호텔레스토랑의 로하스이미지는 고객의 감정적 반응에도 영향을 미치는 선행요인으로 나타났고, 고객의 감정적 반응은 고객만족에 영향을 주고, 고객만족은 결국 고객의 충성도에 영향을 주는 것으로 나타났다, 따라서 오늘날 고객들은 자신과 가족의 건강한 삶을 중시하는 웰빙에서 한걸음 더 나아가 후손의 건강한 삶을 위해서 지속 가능한 환경까지 고려하는 로하스를 지향하는 마케팅을 필요로 한다는 것을 알 수 있다.
