This study tries to explain the relationships among omni-channel service characteristics, utilitarian/hedonic shopping value, and reuse intention. We derive instant connectivity, localization, consistency, integration, privacy risk as omni-channel service characteristics from previous studies and collect data from 190 omni-channel service users. The major findings are as follows. First, localization, consistency, and privacy risk have a significant effect on utilitarian shopping value but no significant effect on hedonic shopping value. Second, instant connectivity and integration have a positive effect on both utilitarian and hedonic value. Third, utilitarian and hedonic shopping value have a positive effect on reuse intention. This study extends the scope of omni-channel consumer behaviors by focusing on multi-dimensionality of shopping value. The results of this research can provide useful implications for practitioners to build successful strategies on omni-channel service.

본 연구는 미국 쇼핑몰 내에서의 소비자행동에 관한 것으로, 인구통계학적 변수와 소핑가치 및 쇼핑의도와의 관계를 모델검증을 통하여 밝혔다. 우선 쇼핑가치와 쇼핑의도 하위차원의 구조를 살펴보면, 소비자가 인지한 쇼핑가치를 쾌락적 쇼핑가치와 실용적 쇼핑 가치로 구분하였다. 또한 기존연구와는 달리 쇼핑의도 변수에 있어서는 다차원적인 구조의 접근을 시도하여 쇼핑의도의 차원을 경제적, 외식, 기분전환, 서비스 이용 의도로 분류한 모델을 제시하였다. 인구통계학적 변수는 소비자가 인지한 쇼핑가치에 영향을 미치고 쇼핑가치는 소비자의 쇼핑의도에 영향을 미치는 인과적인 모델을 검증해본 결과를 살펴보면, 다음과 같다. 제시된 쇼핑가치 및 쇼핑의도의 차원은 통계적으로 유의하였으며, 인종 및 성별의 인구통계학적 변수는 쇼핑가치에 영향을 미치고 쇼핑가치는 쇼핑의도에 영향을 미치는 모델의 구조 또한 유의한 것으로 나타났다. 실용적 쇼핑 가치의 인지에 있어서 백인과 흑인간의 차이는 없었으나, 쾌락적 쇼핑 가치에서는 차이를 보여 흑인이 백인보다 쾌락적 쇼핑가치를 더욱 느낀 것으로 나타났다. 성별의 차이에서는 쾌락적 쇼핑가치뿐 아니라 실용적 쇼핑가치에서도 여성이 남성보다 더 큰 반응을 보였다. 또한 쾌락적 및 실용적 쇼핑가치 모두 쇼핑의도의 전체 차원들과 정적인 관계가 있는 결과를 보여, 실용적 쾌락적 쇼핑가치를 더욱 인지하면 할수록 경제적, 외식, 기분전환, 서비스 이용의 쇼핑의도 모두 높은 것으로 나타났다.

While recent economic stagnation has left consumers dispirited, rapid growth has been seen in the domestic coffee industry recently. With the growth in coffee consumption, a tremendous increase in the number of specialty coffee shops has been seen in the domestic coffee market. The expectation that markets specializing in coffee will continue to grow for a long time will cause existing enterprises to expand their shops and increase the rate of entry of new shops. Intense competition in the domestic coffee market will force companies to create a competitive advantage through differentiated marketing strategies. This paper focuses on how the shopping value and repatronage intention of customers using coffee shops is affected by service quality. Moreover, this paper intends to examine the service quality that is critical for the successful management of relationships and the values that are important to consumers. For these purposes, the discriminative effect of service quality on shopping value was analyzed and the effect of utilitarian and hedonic value on repatronage intention was reviewed. The results of this study are detailed below. First, interaction and outcome quality can positively affect the hedonic value, whereas environment quality is not meaningful for utilitarian value. Considering the relative effect on utilitarian value outcome, the effect of outcome quality is greater than that of interaction. This result shows that the role of outcome quality is most important for improving utilitarian value. Second, outcome and environment quality positively affect hedonic value; however, interaction quality does not meaningfully increase hedonic value. These results indicate that customers recognize hedonic value on the basis of their evaluation of the service outcomes and the background to delivery service. In particular, it was revealed that the relative effect of outcome quality on hedonic value is greater than that of environment quality. Third, both utilitarian value and hedonic value had a positive effect on repatronage intention. The relative influence of the hedonic value is that the shopping value affects the repatronage intention more than the utilitarian value. These results mean that customers recognize coffee shops as spaces for satisfying utilitarian and hedonic values, and they place more importance on the benefits of the emotional experience than functional needs. Finally, this study suggests that output quality is more important than other service factors, and the results of this paper give some implications to the coffee shop industry that customers seek utilitarian needs based on economic value and place more weight on hedonic value, such as that offered by relationship media.

The concept of customer satisfaction is very important issue in the service firms. All service firms should delight theirs customers? Which service contexts creating customer delight results in better positive performance? This study is to examine the moderating effect of service type on the customer delight-behavioral intention relationship. Data from consumers across two distinct service contexts (retail banks and upscale restaurants) were obtained. Using the multiple moderating regression analysis, the proposed hypotheses in this study were tested. The results reveal that customer delight had a greater positive impact on both revisit and referral intention in the hedonic service than the utilitarian service. This study suggests specific service contexts where customer delight strategies generate better desirable results. The customer delight strategy is able to be applied in both hedonic and utilitarian services, but it is more effective to lead customer loyalty in the hedonic service than utilitarian services. Service firms need a strategic approach to customer satisfaction strategies. This study provide strategic implications for service firms to efficiently manage and allocate resources, and can help them in making decisions about establishing and implementing customer satisfaction strategies.

As people spend more time indoors due to the COVID-19 pandemic situation, content consumption is increasing, leading to the rapid demand for Over The Top(OTT) services. Thus, this study attempted to verify impacts of OTT traits on the value, satisfaction, and continuous use intention perceived by users. Through the survey, 437 responses were collected, and analysis was conducted using AMOS 26.0. Results found that the traits of OTT service had a positive effect on perceived value that had a positive effect on user satisfaction and continuous use intention. User satisfaction was also found to have a positive effect on the intention to continue using OTT services. Moreover, hedonic innovation moderated the relationships between OTT traits and perceived value with exception of ubiquity. The findings provide valuable information for OTT service providers in understading users' behaviors.

With the active smartphones user exceeding 500 million by the end of 2014, China has now become the largest smartphone market in the world. Smartphone companies provide variety of information through a range of applications, such as communications, entertainment, games, and so on. There were many studies conducted about the user acceptance and continuous intention of mobile service. However, it is still not quite clear what factors attract people to reuse smartphone in China. This paper examines the continuous intention of smartphone about Chinese customers. This study incorporates perceived enjoyment as a additional construct into a extended TAM model, by integrating a hedonic service of smartphone. We propose a research model that reflects the individual characteristics and usage contexts of smartphone, such as innovativeness, social influence, and service quality, and analyze the structural relationship between the main variables through empirical study. This study empirically investigated a research model and conducted a survey of smartphone service users in China. Our study proved that perceived enjoyment has a positive influence on continuous intention to use smartphone services. This paper provides the managers an insight that smartphone companies should take more consideration on how to provide more enjoyable service and attract customers to reuse their services.
