Abstract

With the disappearance of boundaries between online and offline, the O2O(online to offline) platform service is rapidly growing. Unlike general products, freshness is an important decision-making factor for agri-food, and there are many limiting factors for growth as an open market among O2O platforms due to the characteristics of difficult refunds and exchanges compared to other items and new transaction methods. In order to overcome these obstacles, consumer innovation must be considered. The purpose of this study was to investigate the influence of O2O(online to offline) platform characteristics perception on agri-food repurchase intentions. And an empirical survey of the hypothesis is made that innovation will show a moderating effect between agri-food O2O platform characteristics and repurchase intention. And an empirical survey of the hypothesis is made that innovation will show a moderating effect between agri-food O2O platform characteristics and repurchase intention. For this purpose, Using a convenience sampling technique, an online survey was conducted through Google survey from April 1 to April 15, 2021. A total of final analysis data were collected from a total of 270 purchase experienced of agri-food O2O(online to offline) platform. The SPSS program was used for analysis, and multiple regression analysis was used for hypothesis verification. The results showed that Economic, Interaction, and Playfulness had a significant positive effect on agri-food repurchase intend. Also, Interactivity × innovation, playfulness × innovation were found to have a significant positive (+) effect on repurchase intention. The results of this study show that innovation reduces the burden on consumers for new systems and mobile transactions. The results of this study suggest that convenient interface design is important for activating O2O transactions of agri-food. In addition, education and support are needed to strengthen the IT competency of farmers. The results of this study will be able to contribute to the establishment of infrastructure for agri-food open market shopping malls. In future studies, the influence of the O2O platform type on the purchase intention should be studied continuously.

온라인과 오프라인의 경계가 사라지면서 O2O(온라인에서 오프라인으로) 서비스가 급속히 증가하고 있다. 일반 제품과 달리 농식품은 신선도가 중요한 의사결정 요인이며, 다름 품목에 비해 환불 및 교환이 어려운 특성과 새로운 거래 방식으로 인해 O2O의 플랫폼 중 오픈 마켓으로 성장하는데 제한적인 요소가 많다. 이러한 장애를 극복하기 위해서는 소비자의 혁신성이 고려되어야 한다. 본 연구는 O2O(online to offline) 특성 중 빠르게 성장하고 있는 오픈 마켓을 중심으로 쇼핑몰 특성이 농식품 재구매 의도에 미치는 영향을 파악하는데 목적이 있다. 그리고 농식품 쇼핑몰 특성과 재구매 의도에 미치는 영향력에서 혁신성의 조절 효과를 분석하고자 한다. 이를 위해 편의표본추출기법을 이용하여 2021년 3월 1일부터 3월 30일까지 구글 설문을 통해 온라인 설문을 실시하였다. 농식품 오픈 마켓에서 구매경험자 총 270개의 분석 자료를 수집하였다. 분석방법은 spss 프로그램을 사용하였으며, 가설검증을 위해 다중회귀분석을 사용하였다. 분석결과 O2O(online to offline) 쇼핑몰 특성인 경제성, 상호작용성, 유희성은 농식품 재구매 의도에 유의한 정(+)의 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 상호작용성×혁신성, 유희성×혁신성은 재구매 의도에 유의한 정(+)의 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구결과 혁신성은 새로운 시스템이나 모바일 거래에 대하여 소비자의 부담을 줄여주고 있음을 알 수 있다. 본 연구의 결과를 통해서 농식품의 O2O 거래 활성화를 위해서는 혁신성이 낮은 소비자들의 거래를 활성화하기 위한 편리한 인터페이스 설계가 중요하다고 할 수 있다. 더불어 농업인들의 IT 역량강화를 위한 교육과 지원이 필요하다. 본 연구의 결과는 농식품 오픈마켓 쇼핑몰의 인프라 구축 등에 기여할 수 있을 것이다.
