Abstract

The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of organizational brand internalization on organizational brand permanence. Specifically, organizational brand internalization influences customer orientation, brand attachment, and organizational brand permanence. Also, we examined the effect of brand attachment on the relationship between customer orientation and organizational brand permanence. As a result of empirical research, organizational brand internalization plays an important role in enhancing employee's attachment to brand and positively forming relationship with customers. In other words, as brand attachment increases, employees in the organization know and share customer's needs and provide core competencies for the organization's long-term development. Therefore, companies need to strengthen their internal brand power by organizing their brands into a single concept, and to realize organizational integration of employees based on them. Finally, this study suggested practical implications and future research directions from this perspective.

본 논문은 조직브랜드 내부화가 조직브랜드 영속성에 미치는 영향력을 연구하였다. 구체적으로 조직브랜드 내부화가 고객지향성, 브랜드애착, 조직브랜드 영속성에 어떠한 경로로 영향을 미치는지를 살펴보았다. 또한 고객지향성과 조직브랜드 영속성 간의 관계에 있어서 브랜드애착의 효과도 함께 검토하였다. 실증적 연구 결과, 조직브랜드 내부화는 종업원의 브랜드에 대한 애착을 높이고 고객과의 관계를 긍정적으로 형성하는데 중요한 역할을 하는 것으로 나타났다. 즉, 브랜드애착이 높아질수록 조직 내 직원들은 고객의 니즈를 잘 인지하고 공유함으로써 조직의 장기적인 발전을 위한 핵심역량을 제공한다. 따라서 기업들은 브랜드를 단일된 컨셉으로 잘 조직화함으로써 내부 브랜드 파워를 강화하고, 이를 기반으로 직원의 조직적 통합화를 실현할 필요가 있다. 끝으로, 본 연구는 이 같은 관점에서 실무적 시사점과 향후 연구방향을 제안하였다.
