Abstract

This study investigates key factors influencing customers' repurchase intention in the context of Airbnb. Positive and negative emotions formed after customer's first-hand experience are identified as vital antecedents in determining consumer's repurchase intention. This study posits authentic experience, amenities, and price fairness as the key characteristics of Airbnb. It clarifies the role of subjective norms and trend-seeking tendency in repurchase decisions. The proposed research model was analyzed for 306 customers with experience in using Airbnb via structural equation model. The analysis results showed that both positive and negative emotions have a significant effect on customer's repurchase intention. The results clarified the role of Airbnb's characteristic components on repurchase decisions. Finally, subjective norms and trend-seeking tendency had no significant impact on customer's repurchase intention. The results of this study are expected to help establish effective strategies for customer experience and marketing to achieve sustainable growth of Airbnb.

본 연구에서는 Airbnb 고객들의 재구매 의도에 영향을 미치는 선행 요인들을 살펴보고자 하였다. 고객들이 경험 뒤 형성된 긍정적 감정과 부정적 감정이 재구매를 결정하는 핵심요인으로 고려하였다. Airbnb 특성 요인으로는 진정한 경험, 숙소 시설, 가격 공정성을 선정하였다. 그리고 재구매 의사 결정에서 주관적 규범과 트렌드 추구 경향의 역할에 대해서도 살펴보았다. 제안한 연구 모형은 306명의 Airbnb 사용 경험이 있는 고객들을 대상으로 연구 모형을 분석하였으며, 구조 방정식 모형을 활용하였다. 연구 분석 결과 Airbnb에 대한 긍정적 감정과 부정적 감정 모두 재구매 의도에 유의한 영향을 미침을 알 수 있었다. 또한 Airbnb의 특성 요인들이 재구매 의사 결정에 미치는 영향을 확인할 수 있었다. 마지막으로 주관적 규범과 트렌드 추구 경향은 재구매 의도에 유의한 영향을 미치지 않았다. 본 연구 결과를 통해 Airbnb의 지속적 성장을 위한 고객 경험 관리와 마케팅 전략을 수립하는데 도움을 줄 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.
