Research design, data, and methodology: A survey was conducted on customers who have visited restaurants. Of a total of 312 responses, 306 responses were used, excluding insincere responses and missing values for factors analysis.

본 연구는 브랜드 웹툰의 디지털 스토리텔링 구성 요인(관련성, 진실성, 명확성)이 수용자와의 준사회적 상호작용과 브랜드 웹툰 콘텐츠에 대한 태도를 매개 변인으로 하여 구전 의도에 미치는 영향을 살펴보고자 수행되었다. 연구 결과, 브랜드 웹툰의 스토리와 브랜드 간의 관련성이 높고, 스토리가 진실하다고 지각할수록, 그리고 스토리의 명확성이 높을수록 수용자의 준사회적 상호작용 형성에 유의한 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 또한, 수용자와 브랜드 웹툰 스토리텔링 요인 간의 준사회적 상호작용은 브랜드 웹툰에 대한 태도에 의해 매개되어 구전 의도에 긍정적인 영향을 주는 것으로 확인되었다. 본 연구의 결과는 스토리텔링 측면에서 브랜드 웹툰이 강화해야만 하는 구성 요인을 규명함과 동시에, 수용자와의 준사회적 상호작용을 증가시킴으로써 브랜드 웹툰의 구전 의도를 높일 수 있다는 실무적 시사점을 제공하고 있다.

All constructs were measured by multiple items tested and developed in the previous research. The study is based on the quantitative method and considered 519 questionnaires fulfilled by customers of restaurants. The data were explored employing the partial least square-structural equation modelling (PLS-SEM). Frequency analysis was conducted to identify the general characteristics of the survey subjects. To measure the reliability and validity of the measurement tools, confirmatory factor analysis was conducted. Structural model analysis was conducted to verify the research model. Result: The findings demonstrate that brand attachment and brand name had positive effects on attitude while image congruence did not have. Also, attitude had positive effect on WOM and revisit intention. Conclusions: This study expands the literature about WOM and revisit intentions. This study expands prior research in a similar field to which the theory of planned behavior (TPB) is applied, and reveals that brand attachment, brand name, and brand image congruence play an important role in developing brand attitude that affect revisit intention and WOM.
