Abstract

This study aims to test the relationship between brand embeddedness and cross-selling intention, as well as how customer satisfaction affects as mediator its relationship. The data set includes 258 consumers using a specific smartphone brand and we gather the data by conducting a survey. We use structural equation modeling to verify hypotheses and do nonparametric bootstrap approach for additional analysis of the mediating role of customer satisfaction. The results of analysis are as follows. First, it has been shown that barnd embeddedness positively affects customer satisfaction and cross-buying intention. Second, customer satisfaction is found to have a positive effect on cross-buying. By combining these results and additional analysis, we confirm that the direct effect of brand embeddedness is more effective for cross-buying intention than the indirect effect of customer satisfaction. The results of this empirical analysis show the academic value that brand embeddedness as social capital can be a antecedent for cross-buying intention. In addition, this study suggests the need for brand practitioners to increase the embeddedness of customers related to the brand and consider the mediating role of customer satisfaction together in order to increase cross-buying.

본 연구의 목적은 어떻게 브랜드배태성이 교차구매의도에 영향을 미치는지를 확인하는 것이다. 이와 함께 이들 관계에 고객만족이 매개역할을 하는지를 함께 분석하고자 한다. 이를 위하여 표본은 특정 스마트폰 브랜드를 사용하는 소비자이며, 이들을 대상으로 설문조사하여 258부를 수집하였다. 실증분석은 구조방정식모형과 고객만족의 매개효과를 확인하기 위하여 비모수 붓스트레핑분석을 통한 추가분석을 실시하였다. 그 결과는 다음과 같다. 첫째, 브랜드배태성은 고객만족과 교차구매의도에 긍정적으로 영향을 미치는 것으로 확인하였다. 둘째, 고객만족은 교차구매의도에 긍정적으로 영향을 미치는 것으로 밝혀졌다. 이들 결과와 매개효과분석결과를 종합하면, 고객만족은 브랜드배태성과 교차구매의도에 유의한 매개역할을 하며, 브랜드배태성, 고객만족, 교차구매의도의 관계가 부분매개모형인 것을 보여준다. 또한 브랜드배태성의 교차구매의도에 대한 직접효과가 고객만족을 통한 간접효과보다 큰 것으로 나타났다. 이러한 실증분석 결과는 사회자본으로써 브랜드배태성이 교차구매의도의 선행요인이 될 수 있다는 학문적 가치를 보여준다. 또한 본 연구는 브랜드 실무자가 교차구매를 증대시키기 위하여 브랜드와 관련된 고객의 배태성을 높이는 것은 물론 고객만족의 매개역할을 함께 고려할 필요성을 제안한다.
