Abstract

This study investigated the means-end chain theory more concretely through the APT hard laddering technique. This is carrying out a questionnaire survey targeting users by hair salon type, and the items drawn from the qualitative laddering technique are applied. The technique is a comparative analysis of each attribute, consequences, and value item by analyzing each step's questions. The results are as follows. First, hairdresser's ability, acceptance of individual-customized opinions, and cheap price were the most mentioned items in the selection attributes. As for the consequences items, image transformation, neatness, novelty, and psychological stability were drawn in order. The items indicated as important among the value items were satisfaction, followed by happiness, confidence, beauty, and bond. Second, the remarkable selection attributes, irrelevant of hair salon type, was revealed as hairdresser's ability and the key values pursued when using a hair salon were drawn as satisfaction, confidence, and beauty. From this result, it was found that meeting the desire of consumers using hair salons can be linked with ultimately pursued values. It was also verified that partial differences were shown by hair salon type and this meant that consumers' desire and expected benefits were different by hair salon type. Although this study drew value perception through comparison with hair salon types based on the means-end chain theory, it was confirmed that the most important selection attribute was hairdresser's ability and they select and use hair salons to gain satisfaction and confidence.

본 연구는 헤어살롱 선택속성과 이를 통해 헤어살롱 이용객이 얻을 수 있는 결과와 궁극적인 가치를 파악하고자 수단-목적 사슬 이론을 기반으로 연계방식 기법(APT)을 활용하여, 헤어살롱 이용객이 추구하는 내재적 가치체계에 대해 규명하였다. 이는 헤어살롱 유형별로 이용객을 대상으로 설문조사를 시행하며, 질적 래더링 기법으로 도출한 항목을 적용하며, 도출된 각 단계의 문항을 분석하여 각각의 속성과 결과, 가치 항목을 비교분석하는 것이다. 분석 결과, 첫째, 선택속성은 <미용사의 실력>과 <개인별 맞춤의견 수용>, 그리고 <저렴한 가격> 순으로 고려하는 것으로 나타났으며, 결과 항목은 <이미지 변신>, <깔끔함>, <새로움>, <심리적 안정> 등 순으로 도출되었다. 가치 항목 중 중요하게 표시한 항목은 <만족감>이며, 그 다음이 <행복감>, <자신감>, <아름다움>, <유대감>으로 도출됨을 확인하였다. 둘째, 헤어살롱 유형과 상관없이 두드러진 선택속성은 '미용사의 실력'으로 나타났고, 헤어살롱을 이용하면서 추구하는 중요 가치는 '만족감'과 '자신감', 그리고 '아름다움'으로 도출되었다. 이 결과에서 헤어살롱을 이용하는 소비자의 욕구를 충족시켜 궁극적으로 추구하는 가치로 연결되는 것을 알 수 있었다. 또한 헤어살롱 유형별로 부분적 차이가 나타남을 알 수 있었고, 이는 소비자의 욕구와 기대하는 효익이 유형별로 다른 부분을 확인할 수 있었다. 결국 수단-목적 사슬 이론에 기반하여 헤어살롱 유형별로 비교하여 가치인식을 도출하였지만 가장 중요한 선택속성은 '미용사의 실력'이며, 중요 가치는 '만족감'과 '자신감'을 얻고자 헤어살롱을 선택하고 이용하는 것임을 확인할 수 있었다.
