Abstract

Establishing a financial independence is essential for sustainable growth of social enterprises. In this vein, this study investigated the key factors that affect customer loyalty about the products or services provided by social enterprises. Commitment and trust in social enterprises were considered as main factors affecting customer loyalty. We also examined the effects of functional, hedonic and social value about the products or services of social enterprises on purchasing decision-making processes. The research model analysis was conducted on 204 consumers using social enterprises in Dong-gu, Daegu. The analysis of research model has shown that commitment and trust had a significant impact on customer loyalty about the product or service of those enterprises. Functional value did not have a significant effect on commitment, while it had a significant effect on trust. Hedonic value had a significant impact on both commitment and trust. Social value had a significant effect on commitment, but not on trust. Value congruence had a significant effect on both commitment and trust. Based on the our findings, it is expected that it would help establish operational and marketing strategies to improve competitiveness in products and services of social enterprises.

사회적 기업의 지속 가능한 성장을 위해 재정적 기반 확립은 필수적이다. 이런 맥락에서 본 연구에서는 사회적 기업이 제공하는 제품이나 서비스에 대한 고객 충성도에 영향을 미치는 선행 요인들을 살펴보고자 한다. 고객 충성도에 영향을 미치는 요인으로 사회적 기업에 대한 몰입과 신뢰를 고려하였다. 또한 사회적 기업의 제품이나 서비스에 대한 기능적, 유희적, 사회적 가치와 가치 일치성이 구매 의사 결정에 미치는 영향을 살펴보았다. 연구 모형 분석은 대구광역시 동구의 사회적 기업을 이용한 소비자 204명을 대상으로 하였다. 연구 모형 분석 결과 사회적 기업에 대한 몰입과 신뢰는 해당 기업의 제품이나 서비스 충성도에 유의한 영향을 미쳤다. 사회적 기업 제품이나 서비스가 제공하는 기능적 가치는 몰입에는 유의한 영향을 미치지 않았지만, 신뢰에는 유의한 영향을 미쳤다. 유희적 가치는 몰입과 신뢰에 모두 유의한 영향을 미쳤다. 사회적 가치는 몰입에는 유의한 영향을 미쳤지만, 신뢰에는 유의한 영향을 미치지 않았다. 가치 일치성은 몰입과 신뢰 모두 유의한 영향을 미쳤다. 본 연구 결과 사회적 기업의 제품이나 서비스에 대한 경쟁력 향상을 위한 운영 및 마케팅 전략을 세우는데 도움을 줄 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.
