This study investigates how the physical attractiveness of salespeople and other customers and self-image congruence influence customer perception and brand attitude. As a result of a pretest, four types of pictorial stimuli were developed: physical attractiveness of salespeople (high/low) ${\times}$ that of other customers (high/low). Stimuli were developed using Photoshop CS. A total of 550 samples in two experiments were used and all respondents were women in their 20s and 30s. Data were analyzed using ANOVA and SEM. The result of analysis shows that the physical attractiveness of salesperson had a significant impact on perceived quality, but that of other customers did not. However, self-image congruence with other customers shows a significant effect on perceived quality; however, salespeople did not. The impact of the perceived product quality on brand attitude is higher than perceived service quality. This study adds to fashion retailing literature by demonstrating that physical attractiveness and self-image congruence can influence a customers' perception of product or service quality and brand attitude. It provides interesting insight into how retailers can use social factors as a strategic tool in a retail setting.

This research used an experimental design in an effort to assess the influence of brand gender and salespeople on the attitudes toward brands according to the males' gender identity traits. The study used a three-way split-plot experimental design, and data were analyzed by t-tests, and ANOVA. The subject of this research was men in their 20s and 30s, and a total of 178 people were selected through convenience- sampling. The findings are as follows: first, masculine male consumers preferred masculinity fashion brands; however, androgynous consumers preferred brands that reflect androgyny. Second, there were no differences in brand attitude according to the gender of the salesperson for the masculinity group, but the androgynous group estimated the brands as better when the salesperson was female. Third, there were no differences in the brand attitudes among consumers according to gender of the salesperson for the Galaxy; however, for Solid Homme, brand preference was stronger when the salesperson was a woman. Fourth, the influence of brand gender and salesperson gender on brand attitudes differed according to the gender of the consumer. Therefore, apparel companies must clearly understand the characteristics of consumer gender identity and execute proper marketing strategies in order to induce stronger positive attitudes toward their brands. Moreover, apparel companies should perceive that brand gender and the gender of the salesperson can consequently encourage brand preferences.

Message sidedness of fashion salespersons on consumer behavior with the consideration of the mediating roles of trust and cognitive efforts, and the moderation of a regulatory focus of consumers. Two scenarios were devised, a single message in which a salesperson explains only the advantages of a product to customers, and the second with a double message that explains both the advantages and drawbacks of the product. The results showed that participants trusted a fashion salesperson more and perceived stronger cognitive effort for two-sided messages. The two-sided messages mediated the consumer's trust in the salesperson and cognitive effort, and influenced consumers' buying behavior. This study also found that salesperson trust was stronger in the two-sided messages scenario than in the one-sided message scenario, regardless of consumers' focused preference, and that it was more effective for promotion focus customers. The analysis of the results on consumers' cognitive effort indicated that prevention focused customers did not exhibit any difference in cognitive effort concerning two-sided messages. However, promotion focused customers exhibited an increased cognitive effort in the two-sided message scenario than in the one-sided message scenario. Marketing implications were discussed based on the findings.

Second, the salesperson's professional service consisted of 'fashion product knowledge', 'professional self-management', and 'store display technology' factors, which are good variables to predict job performance. Third, the relationship between the members of a salesperson's organization consists of factors such as 'headquarters relations', 'colleague relations', and 'emotional labor', which was better for explaining job satisfaction than job performance.

This study examined: 1) the influence of 3 social presence types including shopping companions, other consumers, and sales associates on the consumer's purchase decision at a retail store; 2) the difference in the influence by shopping situation involving shopping together or shopping alone; and 3) the differences by consumer susceptibility to social influence and self-confidence. The study conducted three experiments with the retail shopping scenario manipulating consumer's positive self-evaluation, but lack of confidence after trying on a clothing product. Experiment 1 and Experiment 2 examined the positive influence of social presence while Experiment 3 examined the negative influence. The results showed that the positive comment of a shopping companion had the highest influence on the purchase decision. Such impact was more observable under the low susceptibility to normative influence. The negative comments of sales associate and shopping companion lowered the purchase decision. There was no difference by shopping situation. The results imply that influences of social presence on the consumer's purchase decision are different by positive or negative comments and such influences are not different by shopping situation.

다양해지는 소비자들의 패션에 대한 개성적 표현 욕구에 따라 우리나라 미용산업은 헤어, 메이크업과 피부미용, 네일케어 분야로 전문화.세분화되면서 토탈 패션산업의 주요영역으로 성장하고 있다. 이러 한 토탈 패션의 등장으로 미용서비스에 대한 수요증가로 양적으로는 상당히 그 규모가 증가했음에도 불구하고, 서버스 품질에 대해서는 고객들에게 확실한 신뢰를 주지 못하고 있다. 이는 국내 미용업계가 미용서비스 제공자의 관점에서 일방적인 서비스를 창출하여 왔고, 고객이 바라는 서비스의 내용과 품질을 제대로 파악하지 못하고 있다는 사실을 의미하고 있다. 따라서, 본 연구는 미용실의 서비스품질의 구성 요인을 확인하고. 미용실의 서비스품질과 소비자 만 족과의 관계를 알아보는 것을 목적으로 한다. 이를 위한 본 연구의 연구문제는 다음과 같다. 첫째, 미용실의 서비스 품질을 결정하는 요인에는 어떠한 것이 있는가\ulcorner 둘째, 미용실의 서비스 품질 중 소비자 만족과 관련하여 상대적으로 중요한 서비스 품질 결정요인은 무엇인가\ulcorner 본 연구를 위한 예비조사에서는 개방형 질문(open-ended question)을 실시하였다. 예비조사결과 프랜차이즈 미용실, 시내중심가 미용실 그리고 집.직장 근처 미용실의 3가지 유형의 미용실은 그 규모나 소비 자 인식이 상이하여 미용실의 서비스품질 차원을 연구하는데 유용한 것으로 나타났다. 본조사에서는 설문지법을 이용하였으며, 그 대상은 서울 지역의 3가지 유형의 미용실을 이용하는 고객들중 2 20-30대의 주요 고객층으로 정하였고 편의 표집하였다. 분석방법으로는 신뢰도 검증을 위해서는 Cronbach's 외 alpha값을 활용하였고, 미용실의 서비스품질 차원의 개념 타당성을 알아보기 위하여 LISREL을 이용한 확인 적 요인분석(confirmatory factor analysis)을 실시하였다. 또한 미용실의 유형에 따른 서비스 품질의 차이를 알아보기 위해서 일원변량분석(one-way ANDV A)을 실시하였으며, 서비스품질 속성들 중 소비자 만족을 결정하는 요인들을 알아보기 위해서 다중 회귀분석(multiple regression analysis)을 실시하였다. 본 연구의 결과들을 요약하면 다음과 같다. 첫째, 미용실의 서비스 품질을 결정하는 요인으로 는 물리적 서비스(유형성, 접근성, 청결성), 판매원 관련 서비스(감정배려, 능력), 정책관련 서비스(점포운영, 명성, 신용카드) , 미용기술관련 서비스로 나타났다. 둘째, 미용실의 서비스 품질을 결정하는 요인들에 있어서 점포 유형간의 차이를 분석한 결과 전체적으로 응답자들은 프랜차이즈 미용실의 서버스 품질에 가장 만족했으며, 시내중심가 미용실과 집근처 미용 실 순으로 나타났다. 셋째, 미용실의 소비자 만족을 예측하는데 유의한 서비스 품질 결정 요일을 살펴보면, 프랜차이즈 미용 실은 청결성($\beta$ =.30), 감정배려($\beta$ =.54), 명성($\beta$ =.60), 미용기술관련 서비스 차원($\beta$ =.68)이 결정 요인으로 나타났다. 시내중심가 미용실은 청결성($\beta$ =.39), 직원의 능력($\beta$ =.49), 명성($\beta$ =.59), 미용기술관련 서비스 차원($\beta$ =.68)가 서비스 결정 요인이었고, 집근처 미용실은 청결성($\beta$ =.27), 감정배려 ($\beta$ =.57), 명성($\beta$ =.73), 미용기술관련 서비스 차원 ($\beta$ =.60)으로 나타났다. 이것으로 미용실의 소비자 만족을 예측하는데 유의한 서비스 품질 결정 요인은 청결성, 감정배려, 명성, 상품관련 서비스임을 알 수 있다. 본 연구의 방법론적 의미는 그 동안 개발된 소매점이나 패션점포의 서비스 품질에 대한 평기척도를 우리나라 미용실에 적용해 봄으로써 미용실의 특성인 유행성, 청결성, 미용실의 명성, 직원과의 친분 등을 포함한 미용실의 서비스 품질 차원과 그 신뢰성 과 유용성을 입증하였다는데 그 의미가 있다. 또한 본 연구의 결과는 미용실 서비스에 대한 소비자들의 인식과 각 미용실의 유형에 따른 소비자 만족을 예측하는데 중요한 서비스 품질 결정 요인들을 통해서 좀 더 나은 미용서비스를 정착시키는데 필요한 전략 을 수립할 수 있다는데 실질적 의미를 지닌다.
