This study investigated the effect of service provider's recovery effort and pre-failure customer-employee rapport on post-recovery consumer response such as satisfaction, purchase intention, and positive Word-of-Mouth communication. First, this study explored the interaction effect of recovery effort and customer-employee rapport on post-recovery consumer response. The result shows when the level of pre-failure customer-employee rapport is high, customer's positive responses decreased slightly even though they perceived low recovery effort. However, when the level of pre-failure customer-employee rapport is low, customer's responses were decreased considerably in case of low recovery effort. Second, this study examined 'service recovery paradox' which is post-recovery consumer's satisfaction is greater than the case of no service failure. The result shows recovery paradox was not supported in all samples regardless of the level of recovery effort and customer-employee rapport. Synthetically, customer-employee rapport took a buffering role in customer response after service failure although it's not the same as error-free state.

We examined American consumers' perceptions and attitudes toward edible insect-based pet food. In this study, 16 Americans in Korea who owned dogs were categorized into two groups, and focus-group discussions were conducted under three conditions. First, we observed the free association perception of edible insect-based pet food, and attitudes were analyzed after providing a newspaper article related to it. Finally, consumer attitude was examined in the context of purchasing. The study found that the participants had high awareness of the eco-friendliness of edible insects and showed a positive attitude toward news articles related to it. However, when it came to purchasing, they considered nutritional and health functional values compared to environmental values. Meanwhile, the rejection of insects was nevertheless the most important negative factor in pet food, as in general food. The results are significant in confirming the possibility of using insect-based pet food by examining the perceptions and attitudes toward the environmental, nutritional, and health functional values of edible insects under three conditions for American consumers.

When people feel powerless (with losing control), they show compensatory behaviors to get out of this state. The actions to compensate for powerlessness have been studied in the contexts of products or brands, but this study focuses on compensatory behaviors when using social media. Social media, which can express consumers' selves freely, has become a platform for self-expansion. It has been confirmed that the possibility of relieving psychological powerlessness through self-expression on social media exists. Therefore, we examined how people who felt powerless showed compensatory behaviors on social media. According to the analysis, consumer's powerlessness does not directly affect narcissistic self-expression on social media. However, it is derived as being fully mediated by the feeling of anxiety. The more anxious consumers feel, the more narcissistic they express themselves by posting photos of themselves with luxury brand objects that can show social power or authority. In other words, when consumers experience social powerlessness coupled with anxiety, they are likely to show compensatory consumption behaviors such as narcissistic self-expression in order to make their images cool and luxurious and draw others' attention on social media. We confirm that the compensatory consumption due to consumers' powerlessness, which leads to having anxiety, can appear in ways of presenting narcissistic selves on social media.

최근 인터넷 관련 기술의 급속한 발전으로 사람들의 다양한 사회적, 경제적 행위들이 인터넷을 기반으로 확대되고 있다. 특히 우리나라의 경우 초고속 통신망의 확산과 더불어 인터넷 쇼핑몰과 상거래시장 또한 빠르게 성장하였다. 이러한 상황에서 인터넷을 매체로 하는 광고기법 또한 다양하게 적용되고 있는데, 인터넷을 통한 광고 효과를 극대화하기 위해 인터넷 신문기사 주변에 배치된 배너광고, 팝업광고 등 여러 가지 시도들이 있어왔다. 이러한 시도들은 인터넷 사용자의 편의에 대한 고려보다는 광고내용을 얼마나 잘 전달할 수 있는가에 초점이 맞추어져 있었다. 그러나 광고내용이 잘 전달된다 하더라도 소비자가 그 광고에 대해 불쾌감을 느끼게 된다면 과연 인터넷 광고효과가 높다고 말할 수 없을 것이다. 예를 들어, 팝업광고에 대한 대응책으로 개인적으로 팝업 블록커(pop-up blocker)를 사용하겠는가에 대한 설문조사 결과를 보면 사람들이 팝업 블록커를 이용해서라도 팝업광고를 피하고자 하는 비율이 77%에 달한다는 것을 알 수 있다. 실제로 Windows XP 서비스팩 2 이후의 버전은 인터넷 사용자들의 편의를 위해 자동 팝업 차단기능을 갖추고 있는 실정이다. 팝업광고를 통해 아무리 높은 정보전달 효과가 발생한다 하더라도 사용자들은 팝업광고에 대하여 거부감이나 부정적 감정을 느낄 수 있다. 그리고 광고정보가 전달된다 하더라도 팝업광고에 대한 사용자들의 불편함이 그 광고에 대한 부정적 감정으로 전이되어 광고대상에 대한 이미지에 악영향을 미칠 수 있음에 유의해야 한다. 그러므로 광고효과는 극대화하면서, 혹은 기존의 수준을 유지하면서 광고에 대한 거부감을 줄인 광고형태를 찾기 위한 다양한 노력들이 필요하다. 이를 위해 본 연구에서는 인터넷 신문기사에 첨부된 광고에 대한 사용자의 거부감을 줄일 수 있는 새로운 광고 제시 방식을 찾고자 일반적으로 사용되는 배너와 팝업 등 두 가지 광고 제시 방식과 전면에 돌출하지 않는 형태로 인터넷 신문기사의 배경에 삽입된 광고 제시 방식을 비교하였다. 그 결과, 인터넷 신문기사 영역의 주변 특정 부분(코너나 중간 부분 등)에 광고를 삽입한 배너 형태의 광고와 인터넷 신문기사 위에 광고가 돌출 등장하여 콘텐츠를 가리는 팝업 형태의 광고 제시 방식보다 새롭게 제안된 백그라운드 형태의 광고 제시 방식이 인터넷 신문기사를 읽는 사용자에게 거부감을 줄이며 동시에 광고효과를 유지할 수 있음을 확인하였다. 이러한 결과를 인터넷 광고 제시 방식으로 활용한다면 인터넷 사용자에게 콘텐츠를 방해하여 발생하는 명시적인 거부감(explicit negative attitude)을 줄이면서도 암묵적인(implicit) 광고효과를 얻을 수 있을 것이다.

This study was conducted to investigate the transformation of shopping behavior from showrooming to webrooming under multi-channel environment. By applying the push-pull-pooring (PPM) theory, we conceptualized the lack of utilitarian shopping value of showrooming as a push effect, the experiential shopping value of webrooming as a pull effect and the showrooming lock-in as mooring effect. Using structural equation model based on 276 sample data, we identified that the utilitarian shopping value of showrooming and the experiential shopping value of webrooming have a positive effect on the intention of webrooming, and that the showrooming mooring had a negative effect on the intention of webrooming.
