초록

최근 몇 년 동안 전자상거래와 소셜미디어의 지속적인 통합 발전과 함께 소셜커머스는 신뢰 중심의 사회적 거래 방식으로서 전자상거래의 중요한 형태로 자리를 잡았다. 온라인 커뮤니티의 긍정적인 측면과 풍부한 사용자 제작 콘텐츠 (UGC)로 인해 커뮤니티에 참여하는 사용자와 기업이 점점 더 증가하고 있는 추세이다. 이러한 상황에서 정보접근 비용은 지속적으로 감소하고 있고 구매 프로세스는 보다 간결하고 효율적으로 개선되고 있는 반면에 소비자의 충동구매 가능성을 크게 높이는 결과를 가져오게 된다. 그럼에도 불구하고 아직까지 소셜커머스에서 UGC의 특성을 기반으로 한 소비자 충동구매의 메커니즘에 대한 실증적 연구는 거의 없다. 본 연구는 자극-유기체-반응 (S-O-R) 모델을 이용하여 소셜커머스에서 UGC 특성이 소비자 충동구매에 미치는 영향을 분석하는 연구모형을 구축하였고, 이 과정에서 지각된 위험을 매개변수로, 유대강도를 조절변수로 각각 설정하였다. 실증분석 결과 콘텐츠 진정성, 콘텐츠 유용성, 그리고 콘텐츠 가치는 구매의사결정 과정에서 소비자의 지각된 위험에 유의한 영향을 미치고, 소비자의 지각된 위험은 충동구매에 유의한 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 한편, UGC 생산자와 이용자 간의 유대강도는 콘텐츠 유용성과 지각된 위험의 관계 및 지각된 위험과 충동구매 관계를 조절하는 것으로 나타났다. 이러한 연구결과는 소셜커머스 사업자들로 하여금 고객의 소비행동에 대한 심층적인 이해를 도울 뿐만 아니라 소비자 충동구매가 왜 일어나는지에 대한 메커니즘을 학술적 관점에서 분석할 수 있는 이론적 틀을 제공하였다는 점에서 의의가 있다.

In recent years, with the continuous integrative development of e-commerce and social media, social commerce, as a trust-centered social transaction mode, has become an important performance form of e-commerce. The good experience of online community and abundant user-generated content (UGC) attract more and more users and businesses to participate in the community contribution. In this context, the cost of accessing information is continuously decreasing, which not only makes the purchase process more concise and efficient, but also greatly increases the possibility of consumers' impulsive consumption. However, there are very few empirical studies on the internal influencing mechanism of consumers' impulsive consumption based on the characteristics of UGC for social commerce. In view of this, based on S-O-R model, this study constructs a model of consumers' impulsive consumption in the context of social commerce from the characteristics of UGC, with perceived risk as the mediating variable and tie strength as the moderating variable. The results show that content authenticity, content usefulness, and content valence of UGC have significant negative impacts on consumers' risk perception in the process of purchase decision-making, and consumers' perceived risk has a significant negative impact on consumers' impulsive consumption. Meanwhile, the tie strength between UGC producer and UGC receiver plays a moderating role between content usefulness and perceived risk, as well as between perceived risk and impulsive consumption. Finally, combined with the above findings, this study provides effective suggestions for relevant participants in social commerce in terms of business management.
