Branded service encounters, in which various aspects of frontline employees are strategically aligned with the firm's brand positioning, can be achieved along several dimensions such as employee appearance, manner, and personality. While previous research has mainly focused on behavioral traits of employees, this research examines the employee's physical appearance in association with the brand personality trait across two studies. Study 1 shows that salesperson look-brand personality congruence enhances brand affect by inducing positive affect. Specifically, a brand-congruent look of a salesperson increases positive affect among customers by confirming their prior expectations about what a salesperson of a certain brand should look like as a brand representative. Study 2 reveals that the positive impact of salesperson look-brand personality congruence on brand affect is significant only for customers with high social anxiety whereas this effect disappears for those with low social anxiety. These findings extend previous research on branded service encounters by showing why and when frontline employees' physical appearance shapes customers' affective responses toward the brand.

This study examines how the overseas residence experience of Korean consumers influences the relationship of global fashion brand knowledge and brand choice confidence. We contrast two kinds of consumer brand knowledge, using the concepts of Alba and Hutchinson's expertise and familiarity. Considering the effect of positive affect on intuitive information processing, the present study investigated the role of positive affect in consumer brand knowledge and brand choice confidence link. The proposed model was tested with structural-equation analysis. The results show that expertise and familiarity effect the positive affect. Positive affect, in turn, influences brand choice confidence. The results indicate that the processes underlying global fashion brand knowledge and brand choice confidence link are different between the consumers with overseas residence experience for more than a year and the consumers without it. The route from expertise to positive affect has a significant impact on the consumers with overseas residence experience but not on the consumers without it; however, the route from familiarity to positive affect and the path from positive affect to brand choice confidence have a greater impact on the consumers without overseas residence experience than the consumers with it. We find that the consumers with overseas residence experience favor expertise in the process underlying global fashion brand knowledge and brand choice confidence link, whereas the consumers without it favor familiarity and affect based thought.

This study aims to analyze how to increase the brand loyalty of BPJS Healthcare participants who are Muslim in Indonesia by increasing customer engagement and brand trust. This study is based on the premise that effective customer engagement is the first step toward gaining brand trust and loyalty. The five dimensions of customer engagement, namely enthusiasm, attention, absorption, interaction, and identification, were tested on how they affect brand trust and brand loyalty. This research was conducted by distributing questionnaires to 216 Muslim respondents who were BPJS Health users from six Islamic hospitals in Central Java, Indonesia. Data analysis was performed using a regression test with SPSS. The results showed that the dimensions of customer engagement consisting of enthusiasm, attention, and absorption had a significant effect on brand trust. Meanwhile, the dimensions of customer engagement which consist of interaction and identification, do not affect brand trust. Furthermore, brand loyalty can be influenced by enthusiasm, interaction, and brand trust. Meanwhile, attention, absorption, and identification cannot affect brand loyalty.

유사한 속성을 가진 SNS들이 경쟁하는 상황에서 개별 SNS의 기능적인 특성뿐만 아니라 정서적인 속성인 브랜드 측면에서의 서비스 차별화가 필요하다. 본 연구는 이용자들이 세가지 SNS브랜드(페이스북, 카카오스토리, 밴드)들에 대하여 어떠한 이미지로 평가하는지, 그리고 브랜드개성과 더불어 브랜드-자아 동일시, 브랜드감정 등의 요인이 추천의향에 어떤 영향을 미치는지를 살펴보았다. 분석결과, 20대 대학생 이용자들의 각 SNS서비스에 대한 브랜드개성 평가에 차이가 났으며, 각기 다른 개성 요인이 각 서비스의 추천의향에 영향을 미치고 있음을 알 수 있었다. 또한 브랜드개성과 브랜드-자아 동일시의 효과가 동일하다고 가정했을 때 브랜드감정이 SNS추천의향에 중요한 영향을 미친다는 것을 발견하였다. 세가지 SNS 모두에서 브랜드감정이 추천의향에 통계적으로 유의미한 설명력을 가지며 그 영향력은 브랜드개성이나 브랜드-자아일치도보다 두 배 이상 큰 것으로 나타났다.
