Abstract

This study conducted a comparative study using Korean and Chinese consumer data to confirm the impact of K-beauty brand's CSR motivation on CSR authenticity and brand trust, and the effect of CSR authenticity and brand trust on brand support. Of the collected data, 392 copies were used for verification and analyzed using a two-step approach and maximum likelihood measure. As a result of the study, it was found that value-driven, stakeholder-driven, and strategic motivations, excluding egoistic motivations, had a positive effect on CSR authenticity and brand trust. In addition, CSR authenticity had a positive effect on brand trust, which was found to support the brand. As a result of comparing Korean and Chinese consumers, it was found that CSR motives in both countries affect authenticity and brand trust, but Chinese consumers showed higher results in more areas than Korean consumers. These results show that K-beauty brands in order to expand the Chinese market, it has implications that it is necessary to understand Chinese consumers and strengthen the CSR motivation strategy they pursue.

본 연구는 K-뷰티브랜드의 CSR동기가 CSR 진정성과 브랜드 신뢰에 주는 영향과 CSR 진정성과 브랜드 신뢰가 브랜드 지지에 주는 영향을 확인하고자 한·중 소비자 데이터를 이용해 비교연구하여 진행하였다. 수집된 데이터 중 392부를 검증에 사용하였고 2단계 접근법과 최우도 측정법을 활용해 분석하였다. 연구 결과, 자기본위적 동기를 제외한 가치지향적, 이해관계자지향, 전략적 동기는 CSR 진정성과 브랜드 신뢰에 긍정적 영향을 주는 것으로 나타났다. 또한 CSR 진정성은 브랜드 신뢰에 긍정적 영향을 주었고, 이는 브랜드를 지지하는 것으로 나타났다. 한·중 소비자를 비교한 결과, 두 나라 모두 CSR동기가 진정성과 브랜드 신뢰에 영향을 주는 것으로 나타났으나 중국소비자가 한국소비자보다 더 많은 부분에서 높게 나타난 결과를 보였는데 이러한 결과는 K-뷰티 브랜드의 중국시장 확장을 위해서는 중국소비자를 이해하고 그들이 추구하는 CSR동기 전략을 강화해야 한다는 시사점을 가진다.
