Abstract

Luxury goods products have a steady stream of consumers, and the latest trend is the sell and purchase markets. The consumers age groups also vary widely. This research examined the mediating effect of self-construal of the relationship between brand consistency and intention to purchase luxury fashion products. The analysis classified the brand consistency of luxury fashion products as social, actual, and the deal. First, the order of consistency that had an effect on self-construal appeared in the order of social cohesion, actual coincidence, and ideal coincidence. Second, an analysis of mediating effect of self-construal showed that only self-construal appeared to have a partial mediating effect on the relationship between the intention to purchase and the actual and ideal consistency. Such result can be interpreted as that when purchasing luxury fashion products, consumers have a tendency to desire that the brand would express their personal image and that it would match the perception they had of the brand, rather than a tendency to perceive the brand as a tool to help them perform their desired social role. These results suggest that consumers who consume the brand desire to have their personalities and subjective environmental conditions well expressed.

명품 패션 제품은 시대가 지나도 꾸준한 소비자를 확보하고 있으며, 최근에는 시장의 폭도 매우 넓어지고 구매하는 연령층도 다양하게 변화하고 있다. 명품제품을 구매하고자 하는 의도는 그 제품과의 브랜드 일치성이 많은 작용을 하고 있다는 기존 연구들의 결론을 바탕으로 본인 브랜드 일치성과 구매의도와의 관계에서 Self-Construal의 매개효과 분석에 대해 살펴보았다. 수집된 자료는 SPSS 18.0과, AMOS 20.0을 이용하여 분석하였다. 연구결과 첫째, self-construal에 영향을 미치는 일치성으로는 사회적 일치성, 실제적 일치성, 이상적 일치성의 순으로 나타났으며, 둘째, self-construal에 대한 매개효과 분석결과, self-construal은 구매의도에 유의한 영향을 미치는 결과와 실제적, 이상적 일치성과 구매의도의 관계에서 self-construal은 부분매개효과만 있는 것으로 나타났다. 즉, 소비자들은 명품 패션 제품을 구매 할 때 브랜드에 대해 자신이 바라는 사회적 역할의 수행에 도움을 주는 도구로 인식하는 성향보다는 자신의 이미지를 표현해 주며 자신이 인지하는 모습과 선택한 브랜드가 일치하는 성향을 더 바라는 것으로 해석할 수 있다. 결과적으로 브랜드를 소비하는 소비자 개인의 개성과 주관적인 환경적 여건이 잘 나타내어지기를 원하는 것으로 볼 수 있으며, 개성을 나타내지 못하는 경향에 대해 더 돋보이게 할 수 있는 자기만의 가치에 중점을 두고 있다는 것을 의미한다.
