  • 최근 유통환경과 소비자 라이프스타일의 변화 속에서 단순히 제품을 판매하고 유통시키는 것에 그치는 것이 아닌 소매점자산을 증대시켜 고객을 획득하고 유지할 수 있는 차별화된 경쟁우위가 필요하게 되었으며, 이러한 대안으로 소매점 이미지의 중요성이 날로 커지고 있다. 이에 따라, 본 연구는 소매점의 이미지와 자아이미지 일치성이라는 요인과 고객기반 소매점자산과의 구조적관계를 조사하여 소비자들의 재이용의도에 어떠한 영향을 미치는지를 알아보고자 하였다. 본 연구의 가장 큰 학문적 기여점은 소매점자산에 영향을 주는 자아이미지일치성이라는 선행 요인을 찾아내는데 있으며, 또한 소매점자산이 재이용의도에 강력한 선행요인임을 확인하는데 있어서 기존의 연구들이 보여준 Second-order Construct 유형의 소매점자산척도와 결과 변수간의 단일차원 인과관계가 아닌, 소매점자산을 구성하는 각각의 요인들과 재이용의도의 좀 더 구체적인 변수간의 구조적관계를 실증할 수 있게 되었다. 본 연구는 소매점과 자아의 이미지일치성을 두 가지 차원(실제 자아이미지일치성, 이상적 자아이미지일치성)으로 나누고 소매점자산의 구성요소인 소매점인지, 소매점연상, 지각된 소매점 품질, 소매점충성도에 어떠한 영향을 미치는가를 분석하고 자아이미지일치성을 토대로 평가된 소매점자산 요인들이 소매점의 재이용의도에 미치는 영향을 분석하여 소매점의 이미지의 관리와 투자에 대한 마케팅 측면의 중요성을 제시하고 있다. 연구모델에 대한 분석결과 소매점-실제 자아이미지일치성과 소매점-이상적 자아이미지일치성 모두 모두 소매점자산 요인들에 긍정적인 영향을 미쳤으며, 그 중 이상적 자아이미지일치성이 소매점자산 요인들에 미치는 상대적인 영향력이 더 크게 나타났다. 또한 소매점자산을 구성하는 각각의 요인들은 소비자의 소매점 재이용의도에 긍정적인 영향을 주는 것으로 나타났다. 이는 타겟 소비자들의 자아 이미지와 소매점의 상징적 이미지를 일치시키는 마케팅 노력을 통해 소비자들과 소매점 사이의 강력한 감정적 결속이 형성되어 해당 소매점의 자산을 높게 평가하고 지속적인 이용의도를 가져올 수 있음을 시사한다.

  • The main purpose of this study was to test the effect of the structured information on the sleep amount of the patients undergoing open heart surgery. This study has specifically addressed to the Following two basic research questions: (1) Would the structed in formation influence in the reduction of sleep disturbance related to anxiety and Physical stress before and after the operation? and (2) that would be the effects of the structured information on the level of preoperative state anxiety, the hormonal change, and the degree of behavioral change in the patients undergoing an open heart surgery? A Quasi-experimental research was designed to answer these questions with one experimental group and one control group. Subjects in both groups were matched as closely as possible to avoid the effect of the differences inherent to the group characteristics, Baseline data were also. collected on both groups for 7 days prior to the experiment and found that subjects in both groups had comparable sleep patterns, trait anxiety, hormonal levels and behavioral level. A structured information as an experimental input was given to the subjects in the experimental group only. Data were collected and compared between the experimental group and the control group on the sleep amount of the consecutive pre and post operative days, on preoperative state anxiety level, and on hormonal and behavioral changes. To test the effectiveness of the structured information, two main hypotheses and three sub-hypotheses were formulated as follows; Main hypothesis 1: Experimental group which received structured information will have more sleep amount than control group without structured information in the night before the open heart surgery. Main hypothesis 2: Experimental group with structured information will have more sleep, amount than control group without structured information during the week following the open heart surgery Sub-hypothesis 1: Experimental group with structured information will be lower in the level of State anxiety than control group without structured information in the night before the open heart surgery. Sub-hypothesis 2 : Experimental group with structured information will have lower hormonal level than control group without stuctured information on the 5th day after the open heart surgery Sub-hypothesis 3: Experimental group with structured information will be lower in the behavioral change level than control group without structured information during the week after the open heart surgery. The research was conducted in a national university hospital in Seoul, Korea. The 53 Subjects who participated in the study were systematically divided into experimental group and control group which was decided by random sampling method. Among 53 subjects, 26 were placed in the experimental group and 27 in the control group. Instruments; (1) Structed information: Structured information as an independent variable was constructed by the researcher on the basis of Roy's adaptation model consisting of physiologic needs, self-concept, role function and interdependence needs as related to the sleep and of operational procedures. (2) Sleep amount measure: Sleep amount as main dependent variable was measured by trained nurses through observation on the basis of the established criteria, such as closed or open eyes, regular or irregular respiration, body movement, posture, responses to the light and question, facial expressions and self report after sleep. (3) State anxiety measure: State Anxiety as a sub-dependent variable was measured by Spi-elberger's STAI Anxiety scale, (4) Hormornal change measure: Hormone as a sub-dependent variable was measured by the cortisol level in plasma. (5) Behavior change measure: Behavior as a sub-dependent variable was measured by the Behavior and Mood Rating Scale by Wyatt. The data were collected over a period of four months, from June to October 1981, after the pretest period of two months. For the analysis of the data and test for the hypotheses, the t-test with mean differences and analysis of covariance was used. The result of the test for instruments show as follows: (1) STAI measurement for trait and state anxiety as analyzed by Cronbachs alpha coefficient analysis for item analysis and reliability showed the reliability level at r= .90 r= .91 respectively. (2) Behavior and Mood Rating Scale measurement was analyzed by means of Principal Component Analysis technique. Seven factors retained were anger, anxiety, hyperactivity, depression, bizarre behavior, suspicious behavior and emotional withdrawal. Cumulative percentage of each factor was 71.3%. The result of the test for hypotheses show as follows; (1) Main hypothesis, was not supported. The experimental group has 282 minutes of sleep as compared to the 255 minutes of sleep by the control group. Thus the sleep amount was higher in experimental group than in control group, however, the difference was not statistically significant at .05 level. (2) Main hypothesis 2 was not supported. The mean sleep amount of the experimental group and control group were 297 minutes and 278 minutes respectively Therefore, the experimental group had more sleep amount as compared to the control group, however, the difference was not statistically significant at .05 level. Thus, the main hypothesis 2 was not supported. (3) Sub-hypothesis 1 was not supported. The mean state anxiety of the experimental group and control group were 42.3, 43.9 in scores. Thus, the experimental group had slightly lower state anxiety level than control group, howe-ver, the difference was not statistically significant at .05 level. (4) Sub-hypothesis 2 was not supported. . The mean hormonal level of the experimental group and control group were 338 ㎍ and 440 ㎍ respectively. Thus, the experimental group showed decreased hormonal level than the control group, however, the difference was not statistically significant at .05 level. (5) Sub-hypothesis 3 was supported. The mean behavioral level of the experimental group and control group were 29.60 and 32.00 respectively in score. Thus, the experimental group showed lower behavioral change level than the control group. The difference was statistically significant at .05 level. In summary, the structured information did not influence the sleep amount, state anxiety or hormonal level of the subjects undergoing an open heart surgery at a statistically significant level, however, it showed a definite trends in their relationships, not least to mention its significant effect shown on behavioral change level. It can further be speculated that a great degree of individual differences in the variables such as sleep amount, state anxiety and fluctuation in hormonal level may partly be responsible for the statistical insensitivity to the experimentation.

  • This study analyzes the effect of Computer Aided Innovation (CAI) to improve R&D Capabilities empirically. Survey was distributed by e-mail and Google Docs, targeting CTO of 235 SMEs. 142 surveys were returned back (rate of return 60.4%) from companies. Survey results from 119 companies (83.8%) which are effective samples except no-response, insincere response, estimated value, etc. were used for statistics analysis. Companies with less than 50billion KRW sales of entire researched companies occupy 76.5% in terms of sample traits. Companies with less than 300 employees occupy 83.2%. In terms of the type of company business Partners (called 'partners with big companies' hereunder) who work with big companies for business occupy 68.1%. SMEs based on their own business (called 'independent small companies') appear to occupy 31.9%. The present status of holding IT system according to traits of company business was classified into partners with big companies versus independent SMEs. The present status of ERP is 18.5% to 34.5%. QMS is 11.8% to 9.2%. And PLM (Product Life-cycle Management) is 6.7% to 2.5%. The holding of 3D CAD is 47.1% to 21%. IT system-holding and its application of independent SMEs seemed very vulnerable, compared with partner companies of big companies. This study is comprised of IT infra and IT Utilization as CAI capacity factors which are independent variables. factors of R&D capabilities which are independent variables are organization capability, process capability, HR capability, technology-accumulating capability, and internal/external collaboration capability. The highest average value of variables was 4.24 in organization capability 2. The lowest average value was 3.01 in IT infra which makes users access to data and information in other areas and use them with ease when required during new product development. It seems that the inferior environment of IT infra of general SMEs is reflected in CAI itself. In order to review the validity used to measure variables, Factors have been analyzed. 7 factors which have over 1.0 pure value of their dependent and independent variables were extracted. These factors appear to explain 71.167% in total of total variances. From the result of factor analysis about measurable variables in this study, reliability of each item was checked by Cronbach's Alpha coefficient. All measurable factors at least over 0.611 seemed to acquire reliability. Next, correlation has been done to explain certain phenomenon by correlation analysis between variables. As R&D capabilities factors which are arranged as dependent variables, organization capability, process capability, HR capability, technology-accumulating capability, and internal/external collaboration capability turned out that they acquire significant correlation at 99% reliability level in all variables of IT infra and IT Utilization which are independent variables. In addition, correlation coefficient between each factor is less than 0.8, which proves that the validity of this study judgement has been acquired. The pair with the highest coefficient had 0.628 for IT utilization and technology-accumulating capability. Regression model which can estimate independent variables was used in this study under the hypothesis that there is linear relation between independent variables and dependent variables so as to identify CAI capability's impact factors on R&D. The total explanations of IT infra among CAI capability for independent variables such as organization capability, process capability, human resources capability, technology-accumulating capability, and collaboration capability are 10.3%, 7%, 11.9%, 30.9%, and 10.5% respectively. IT Utilization exposes comprehensively low explanatory capability with 12.4%, 5.9%, 11.1%, 38.9%, and 13.4% for organization capability, process capability, human resources capability, technology-accumulating capability, and collaboration capability respectively. However, both factors of independent variables expose very high explanatory capability relatively for technology-accumulating capability among independent variable. Regression formula which is comprised of independent variables and dependent variables are all significant (P<0.005). The suitability of regression model seems high. When the results of test for dependent variables and independent variables are estimated, the hypothesis of 10 different factors appeared all significant in regression analysis model coefficient (P<0.01) which is estimated to affect in the hypothesis. As a result of liner regression analysis between two independent variables drawn by influence factor analysis for R&D capability and R&D capability. IT infra and IT Utilization which are CAI capability factors has positive correlation to organization capability, process capability, human resources capability, technology-accumulating capability, and collaboration capability with inside and outside which are dependent variables, R&D capability factors. It was identified as a significant factor which affects R&D capability. However, considering adjustable variables, a big gap is found, compared to entire company. First of all, in case of partner companies with big companies, in IT infra as CAI capability, organization capability, process capability, human resources capability, and technology capability out of R&D capacities seems to have positive correlation. However, collaboration capability appeared insignificance. IT utilization which is a CAI capability factor seemed to have positive relation to organization capability, process capability, human resources capability, and internal/external collaboration capability just as those of entire companies. Next, by analyzing independent types of SMEs as an adjustable variable, very different results were found from those of entire companies or partner companies with big companies. First of all, all factors in IT infra except technology-accumulating capability were rejected. IT utilization was rejected except technology-accumulating capability and collaboration capability. Comprehending the above adjustable variables, the following results were drawn in this study. First, in case of big companies or partner companies with big companies, IT infra and IT utilization affect improving R&D Capabilities positively. It was because most of big companies encourage innovation by using IT utilization and IT infra building over certain level to their partner companies. Second, in all companies, IT infra and IT utilization as CAI capability affect improving technology-accumulating capability positively at least as R&D capability factor. The most of factor explanation is low at around 10%. However, technology-accumulating capability is rather high around 25.6% to 38.4%. It was found that CAI capability contributes to technology-accumulating capability highly. Companies shouldn't consider IT infra and IT utilization as a simple product developing tool in R&D section. However, they have to consider to use them as a management innovating strategy tool which proceeds entire-company management innovation centered in new product development. Not only the improvement of technology-accumulating capability in department of R&D. Centered in new product development, it has to be used as original management innovative strategy which proceeds entire company management innovation. It suggests that it can be a method to improve technology-accumulating capability in R&D section and Dynamic capability to acquire sustainable competitive advantage.

  • 오프라인 구매환경과는 달리 온라인 환경에서는 제품을 직접 눈으로 확인하고 만져 볼 수 없다. 때문에 온라인 쇼핑몰을 구축하고 운영하는 입장에서는 보다 구체적인 제품정보를 제공해야 하며(김광석 2008), Alba (1997)는 제공된 정보의 질은 소비자들이 구매 후 만족을 얼마나 예상할 수 있는 가로 결정된다고 정의한 바 있다. 이에 패션 의류 온라인 쇼핑몰을 중심으로 실제 모델이 제품을 착용한 사진정보(실착사진)를 제공함으로써 실제 제품사용에 따른 결과를 제시하여 제품정보의 유용성을 높이고 있다. 한편 온라인 환경에서 소비자들의 제품에 대한 제한된 지각을 극복하는 또 다른 수단으로써, 가상제품경험은 가장 효과적인 것으로 논의되어 왔다(Jiang & Benbasat 2005). 그러나 가상현실도구의 도입과 지속적 활용에는 일반적인 텍스트/사진 정보와 비교해 높은 비용과 기술적 전문성을 요구한다(Shaffer 2006). 이는 특히 영세 소매상 입장에서 시장에 대한 진입장벽으로 작용하는 한편, 소비자의 정보처리과정에서는 오히려 단순한 형태의 정보에 비하여 더 높은 수준의 인지적 노력을 요구할 수 있다. 따라서 이러한 도구들의 활용하는 것이 소비자들의 정보과부하를 초래해 제품에 대한 핵심정보 취득을 방해하고, 소비자의 지각된 정보유용성에 부정적 영향을 미칠 수 있다. 이에 본 연구에서는 제품유형을 소비자들의 제품 사용상황에 따라 휴대제품과 설치제품으로 구분하고, 이때 정지사진, 실착사진, VR로 대별되는 제품정보의 형태에 따른 소비자들의 지각된 정보의 유용성, 쇼핑몰에 대한 태도와 품질평가, 구매의도, 재방문 의도를 측정하기 위한 실험을 진행했다. 그 결과 소비자 구매의도에 영향을 미치는 종속변수군에 대해 제품유형과 제품정보형태가 상호작용효과를 일으키는 것을 확인할 수 있었다.

  • 우리나라에 유통업체상표(Private Label)가 도입된 지 10년이 넘었음에도 불구하고 유통업체 상표에 대한 대부분의 연구는 소비자 관점에서 진행되어져 왔다. 본 연구는 유통업체상표를 소비자 관점이 아닌 제조업체의 관점에서 바라본 연구로, 제조업체의 유통업체상표 생산에 영향을 미치는 내외부적 요인들에 대해서 자원기반이론과 S-C-P Paradigm의 통합적인 연구모형인 전략적 시장관리 관점을 제시하였다. 연구결과를 보면, 제조업체의 마케팅 역량이 높을수록 전체 매출에서 유통업체상표가 차지하는 매출이 적은 것으로 나타났으며, 마케팅 역량에는 제조업체 브랜드명성, 마케팅 투자, 제품포트폴리오 등이 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 또한 제조업체의 마케팅 역량과 유통업체 상표 생산 간의 관계에는 제조업체의 경쟁강도가 조절효과를 미치는 것으로 나타났는데, 이는 일반적으로 마케팅 역량이 높은(낮은) 기업일수록 전체 매출에서 유통업체상표가 차지하는 비율이 낮지만(높지만), 이러한 기업들 중 경쟁강도를 낮게 지각하는 제조업체의 전체매출 중 유통업체상표가 차지하는 매출은 경쟁강도를 높게 지각하는 제조업체들에 비해 상대적으로 높게 나타났다. 이러한 연구결과를 바탕으로, 본 연구는 유통업체상표 생산에 대한 이론 및 실무적인 시사점을 제시하고 있다.

  • 목적 : 본 연구에서는 인체 뇌 대사물질에 대하여 2D MR 기술인 correlation spectroscopy (COSY) 와 nuclear Overhauser effect/enhancement spectroscopy (NOESY)를 직접 적용하고, 데이터를 획득하여 인체 뇌대사물질들간의 스칼라 짝지움 (coupling)과 쌍극자 (dipolar) 상호작용- NOE에 대한 분석을 통하여 결합연결관계 및 공간연결관계에 대한 정보를 획득하고자 하였다. 대상 및 방법 : 모든 2-D (dimensional) MR 실험 (즉, COSY와 NOESY)은 z축 능동차폐 펄스경사자장, 삼중공명 동결탐침기가 장착된 Bruker Avance 500 (11.8 T) 장비에서 298 K에 수행되었다. MRS상에서 뇌 대사물질과 유사하도록만든 희석액을 만들었고, 최종 MRS 샘플은 10% $D_2O$를 이용하였다. 2-D 스펙트라는 2048 복합 (complex) 데이터 포인트로서 총 320개 의 free induction decay (FID)를 평균화 (averaging)하였고, $H_2O$에서 얻어진 스펙트라는 8012 Hz 였다. 반복지연 (repetition delay) 시간은 2초, 각각의 FID는 4개의 평균화를 선택하였다. 얻어진 2D-COSY, 2D-NOESY 데이터는 Top Spin 2.0 소프트웨어에서 후 처리기법 (post-processing)에 의해 분석되었다. 분석 대상 대사물질은 N-acetyl aspartate (NAA), creatine (Cr), choline (Cho), glutamine (Gln), glutamate (Glu), myo-inositol (Ins), lactate (Lac)로서 총 7 가지 화학물로서 주요 목표 피크로 정했다. 결과 : 인체 뇌 대사물질에 대한 대칭형태의 2D-COSY와 2D-NOESY 스펙트럼을 획득하였고, COSY 스펙트럼상에서는 오직 1.0-4.5 ppm 사이에서만 교차피크들이 생성된 반면 NOESY 스펙트럼상에서는 1.0-4.5 ppm 외에도 7.9 ppm에서 공명 교차피크를 발견할 수 있었다. COSY 스펙트럼을 통하여 lactate에서 메틸 프로톤과 CH 프로톤의 COSY 크로스피크가 발견되었고, NAA에서 메틸렌 프로톤들간과 메틸렌 프로톤과 NH프로톤의 크로스피크가 발견되었고, Ins에서 CH 프로톤 들간의 크로스피크가 발견되었다. NOESY 스펙트럼을 통하여 NAA 분자내 NH 프로톤과 메틸 (-CH3) 프로톤과의 NOESY 크로스피크가 발견되었고, lactate에서 메틸 프로톤과 CH 프로톤과의 크로스피크가 발견되었고, Cr에서 메틸 프로톤과 메틸렌 프로톤과의 크로스피크가 발견되었고, Glu에서 메틸렌 프로톤 들간과 또한 메틸렌 프로톤과 CH 프로톤과의 크로스피크가 발견되었고, Gln에서 메틸렌 프로톤과 CH 프로톤과의 크로스피크가 발견되었고, Ins에서 CH 프로톤 들간의 크로스피크가 발견되었다. 결론 : 본 연구에서는 in vitro 상태의 인체 뇌 대사물질에 2D-COSY와 2D-NOESY 기술을 직접 적용하고, 결합연결관계 및 공간연결관계에 대한 정보를 성공적으로 획득하여 분석하여 보았다. 본 연구 결과물은 향후 인체 내 in vivo 2D-COSY를 이용한 뇌 대사물질 연구에 매우 유용하리라 사료된다.

  • Due to the increasing and intensifying competition in the Internet shopping market, it has been recognized as very important to develop an effective policy and strategy for acquiring loyal customers. For this reason, web site designers need to know if a new Internet shopping mall(ISM) will be accepted. Researchers have been working on identifying factors for explaining and predicting user acceptance of an ISM. Some studies, however, revealed inconsistent findings on the antecedents of user acceptance of a website. Lack of consideration for individual differences in user ability is believed to be one of the key reasons for the mixed findings. The elaboration likelihood model (ELM) and several studies have suggested that individual differences in ability plays an moderating role on the relationship between the antecedents and user acceptance. Despite the critical role of user ability, little research has examined the role of user ability in the Internet shopping mall context. The purpose of this study is to develop a user acceptance model that consider the moderating role of user ability in the context of Internet shopping. This study was initiated to see the ability of the technology acceptance model(TAM) to explain the acceptance of a specific ISM. According to TAM. which is one of the most influential models for explaining user acceptance of IT, an intention to use IT is determined by usefulness and ease of use. Given that interaction between user and website takes place through web interface, the decisions to accept and continue using an ISM depend on these beliefs. However, TAM neglects to consider the fact that many users would not stick to an ISM until they trust it although they may think it useful and easy to use. The importance of trust for user acceptance of ISM has been raised by the relational views. The relational view emphasizes the trust-building process between the user and ISM, and user's trust on the website is a major determinant of user acceptance. The proposed model extends and integrates the TAM and relational views on user acceptance of ISM by incorporating usefulness, ease of use, and trust. User acceptance is defined as a user's intention to reuse a specific ISM. And user ability is introduced into the model as moderating variable. Here, the user ability is defined as a degree of experiences, knowledge and skills regarding Internet shopping sites. The research model proposes that the ease of use, usefulness and trust of ISM are key determinants of user acceptance. In addition, this paper hypothesizes that the effects of the antecedents(i.e., ease of use, usefulness, and trust) on user acceptance may differ among users. In particular, this paper proposes a moderating effect of a user's ability on the relationship between antecedents with user's intention to reuse. The research model with eleven hypotheses was derived and tested through a survey that involved 470 university students. For each research variable, this paper used measurement items recognized for reliability and widely used in previous research. We slightly modified some items proper to the research context. The reliability and validity of the research variables were tested using the Crobnach's alpha and internal consistency reliability (ICR) values, standard factor loadings of the confirmative factor analysis, and average variance extracted (AVE) values. A LISREL method was used to test the suitability of the research model and its relating six hypotheses. Key findings of the results are summarized in the following. First, TAM's two constructs, ease of use and usefulness directly affect user acceptance. In addition, ease of use indirectly influences user acceptance by affecting trust. This implies that users tend to trust a shopping site and visit repeatedly when they perceive a specific ISM easy to use. Accordingly, designing a shopping site that allows users to navigate with heuristic and minimal clicks for finding information and products within the site is important for improving the site's trust and acceptance. Usefulness, however, was not found to influence trust. Second, among the three belief constructs(ease of use, usefulness, and trust), trust was empirically supported as the most important determinants of user acceptance. This implies that users require trustworthiness from an Internet shopping site to be repeat visitors of an ISM. Providing a sense of safety and eliminating the anxiety of online shoppers in relation to privacy, security, delivery, and product returns are critically important conditions for acquiring repeat visitors. Hence, in addition to usefulness and ease of use as in TAM, trust should be a fundamental determinants of user acceptance in the context of internet shopping. Third, the user's ability on using an Internet shopping site played a moderating role. For users with low ability, ease of use was found to be a more important factors in deciding to reuse the shopping mall, whereas usefulness and trust had more effects on users with high ability. Applying the EML theory to these findings, we can suggest that experienced and knowledgeable ISM users tend to elaborate on such usefulness aspects as efficient and effective shopping performance and trust factors as ability, benevolence, integrity, and predictability of a shopping site before they become repeat visitors of the site. In contrast, novice users tend to rely on the low elaborating features, such as the perceived ease of use. The existence of moderating effects suggests the fact that different individuals evaluate an ISM from different perspectives. The expert users are more interested in the outcome of the visit(usefulness) and trustworthiness(trust) than those novice visitors. The latter evaluate the ISM in a more superficial manner focusing on the novelty of the site and on other instrumental beliefs(ease of use). This is consistent with the insights proposed by the Heuristic-Systematic model. According to the Heuristic-Systematic model. a users act on the principle of minimum effort. Thus, the user considers an ISM heuristically, focusing on those aspects that are easy to process and evaluate(ease of use). When the user has sufficient experience and skills, the user will change to systematic processing, where they will evaluate more complex aspects of the site(its usefulness and trustworthiness). This implies that an ISM has to provide a minimum level of ease of use to make it possible for a user to evaluate its usefulness and trustworthiness. Ease of use is a necessary but not sufficient condition for the acceptance and use of an ISM. Overall, the empirical results generally support the proposed model and identify the moderating effect of the effects of user ability. More detailed interpretations and implications of the findings are discussed. The limitations of this study are also discussed to provide directions for future research.

  • Consumers differ in the way they make a purchase. An audio mania would willingly make a bold, yet serious, decision to buy a top-of-the-line home theater system, while he is not interested in replacing his two-decade-old shabby car. On the contrary, an automobile enthusiast wouldn't mind spending forty thousand dollars to buy a new Jaguar convertible, yet cares little about his junky component system. It is product involvement that helps us explain such differences among individuals in the purchase style. Product involvement refers to the extent to which a product is perceived to be important to a consumer (Zaichkowsky, 2001). Product involvement is an important factor that strongly influences consumer's purchase decision-making process, and thus has been of prime interest to consumer behavior researchers. Furthermore, researchers found that involvement is closely related to perceived risk (Dholakia, 2001). While abundant research exists addressing how product involvement relates to overall perceived risk, little attention has been paid to the relationship between involvement and different types of perceived risk in an electronic commerce setting. Given that perceived risk can be a substantial barrier to the online purchase (Jarvenpaa, 2000), research addressing such an issue will offer useful implications on what specific types of perceived risk an online firm should focus on mitigating if it is to increase sales to a fullest potential. Meanwhile, past research has focused on such consumer responses as information search and dissemination as a consequence of involvement, neglecting other behavioral responses like online merchant selection. For one example, will a consumer seriously considering the purchase of a pricey Guzzi bag perceive a great degree of risk associated with online buying and therefore choose to buy it from a digital storefront rather than from an online marketplace to mitigate risk? Will a consumer require greater trust on the part of the online merchant when the perceived risk of online buying is rather high? We intend to find answers to these research questions through an empirical study. This paper explores the impact of enduring product involvement and perceived risks on required trust level, and further on online merchant choice. For the purpose of the research, five types or components of perceived risk are taken into consideration, including financial, performance, delivery, psychological, and social risks. A research model has been built around the constructs under consideration, and 12 hypotheses have been developed based on the research model to examine the relationships between enduring involvement and five components of perceived risk, between five components of perceived risk and required trust level, between enduring involvement and required trust level, and finally between required trust level and preference toward an e-tailer. To attain our research objectives, we conducted an empirical analysis consisting of two phases of data collection: a pilot test and main survey. The pilot test was conducted using 25 college students to ensure that the questionnaire items are clear and straightforward. Then the main survey was conducted using 295 college students at a major university for nine days between December 13, 2010 and December 21, 2010. The measures employed to test the model included eight constructs: (1) enduring involvement, (2) financial risk, (3) performance risk, (4) delivery risk, (5) psychological risk, (6) social risk, (7) required trust level, (8) preference toward an e-tailer. The statistical package, SPSS 17.0, was used to test the internal consistency among the items within the individual measures. Based on the Cronbach's ${\alpha}$ coefficients of the individual measure, the reliability of all the variables is supported. Meanwhile, the Amos 18.0 package was employed to perform a confirmatory factor analysis designed to assess the unidimensionality of the measures. The goodness of fit for the measurement model was satisfied. Unidimensionality was tested using convergent, discriminant, and nomological validity. The statistical evidences proved that the three types of validity were all satisfied. Now the structured equation modeling technique was used to analyze the individual paths along the relationships among the research constructs. The results indicated that enduring involvement has significant positive relationships with all the five components of perceived risk, while only performance risk is significantly related to trust level required by consumers for purchase. It can be inferred from the findings that product performance problems are mostly likely to occur when a merchant behaves in an opportunistic manner. Positive relationships were also found between involvement and required trust level and between required trust level and online merchant choice. Enduring involvement is concerned with the pleasure a consumer derives from a product class and/or with the desire for knowledge for the product class, and thus is likely to motivate the consumer to look for ways of mitigating perceived risk by requiring a higher level of trust on the part of the online merchant. Likewise, a consumer requiring a high level of trust on the merchant will choose a digital storefront rather than an e-marketplace, since a digital storefront is believed to be trustworthier than an e-marketplace, as it fulfills orders by itself rather than acting as an intermediary. The findings of the present research provide both academic and practical implications. The first academic implication is that enduring product involvement is a strong motivator of consumer responses, especially the selection of a merchant, in the context of electronic shopping. Secondly, academicians are advised to pay attention to the finding that an individual component or type of perceived risk can be used as an important research construct, since it would allow one to pinpoint the specific types of risk that are influenced by antecedents or that influence consequents. Meanwhile, our research provides implications useful for online merchants (both online storefronts and e-marketplaces). Merchants may develop strategies to attract consumers by managing perceived performance risk involved in purchase decisions, since it was found to have significant positive relationship with the level of trust required by a consumer on the part of the merchant. One way to manage performance risk would be to thoroughly examine the product before shipping to ensure that it has no deficiencies or flaws. Secondly, digital storefronts are advised to focus on symbolic goods (e.g., cars, cell phones, fashion outfits, and handbags) in which consumers are relatively more involved than others, whereas e- marketplaces should put their emphasis on non-symbolic goods (e.g., drinks, books, MP3 players, and bike accessories).
