Most corporations engage in Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) activities. Consumers are aware of CSR activities in different domains and use the perception and evaluation in purchase decision making. This study reveals how the relationship between consumer perception about a fashion corporation's CSR activities and product evaluation (such as perceived expertise and attractiveness) affects behavioral intention. This study discussed implications for store designs depending on whether it is actively engaging in CSR communication. Two virtual fashion store images of modern or eco design were used as stimuli. The study was conducted from July to August, 2018 based on women in their 20s and 30s. We collected 154 eco designs and 157 modern design responses. The findings of the study show that consumer perceptions of CSR activities affected perceived expertise and attractiveness. Further, perceived expertise and attracti-veness led to purchase intention and time spent in the store. The store design variation had no differences in mean values of consumer perception; however, evaluation and purchase intention indicated that a varied store design emphasized different corporation capabilities.

CSR에 대한 사회적 요구에 부응하기 위하여 기업들은 CSR 활동에 투자하고 있다. CSR이 기업에 대한 긍정적 평가 및 매출로 이어질 것으로 기대되지만, CSR이 기업평가에 미치는 영향이 없거나 부정적이라는 의견도 적지 않다. 본 연구는 CSR의 효과가 크지 않은 문제 해결에 대한 실마리를 찾기 위하여 친사회적 행동의 하나인 기부에 대한 연구를 검토하고 CSR에 대한 연구에 도입하고자 한다. 즉, CSR의 수혜자 소구 유형이 소비자의 기업정체성매력 평가에 미치는 영향을 살펴보고, 이러한 영향의 기제를 밝히기 위하여 CSR 동기에 대한 소비자의 동기 추론의 매개효과를 살펴보고자 한다. 연구 결과, CSR 수혜자를 타인이 아닌 소비자 자신으로 소구하면 기업정체성매력에 대한 평가가 하락하였으며, CSR 동기를 기업의 매출을 증진시키기 위한 수단으로 의심할 가능성이 높아졌다. 또한 CSR 수혜자 소구 유형이 기업정체성매력 평가에 미치는 영향을 CSR 동기 추론이 매개하였다. 이러한 연구 결과는 기업이 CSR 활동을 소비자에게 커뮤니케이션하는데 있어서 기업의 사업에 초점을 맞추기보다 CSR 활동의 진실한 목적에 초점을 맞출 필요가 있음을 시사한다.

Corporate social responsibility is a consistently discussed theme in many industries. Most corporations engage in CSR activities and now inform consumers in detail on what they have been doing for society. It has become a critical tool of consumer communication; however, little is known regarding the role of information transparency in the context of the fashion industry. This study discusses information transparency of fashion corporations which means revealing information regarding cost and garment making processes. The research proved that the higher consumers perceive a fashion brand's CSR performance (CSP), the more they think the provided CSR information is substantial; consequently, there is a favorable evaluation of the brand. The result provides insight regarding the relationship between CSP perception, perceived information substantiality, and brand evaluation. There was a significant partial mediation effect of perceived information substantiality. Moreover, the moderated mediation effect of information transparency appeared significant on the impact of CSP perception for brand evaluation via CSR information substantiality. The process model 7 was used as an analytical tool. The results of this study implies the importance of information transparency in the fashion industry context in the digital era.

소비자의 구매행동이 기업에 의해 제공되는 서비스 품질뿐 아니라 기업의 사회적 책임에도 영향을 받는다고 보고되며, 사회적 책임 활동은 효율적, 전략적 업무 수행에 필요한 기업의 핵심 요인으로 인식되고 있다. 본 연구는 지금까지 사기업을 중심으로 연구된 사회적 책임 요인을 공기업인 철도공사에 적용함으로써 철도이용자의 행동에 어떤 영향을 미치는지 파악하기 위해 이루어졌다. 철도이용자를 대상으로 설문조사를 실시한 결과, 철도공사의 경제적, 법적 책임 활동이 철도공사의 신뢰에 유의한 영향을 미치며, 신뢰는 철도공사에 대한 고객 충성도에 유의한 긍정적 효과를 미치는 것을 검증했다. 본 연구를 통해 철도공사는 법적 책임 활동과 경제적 책임 활동을 수행함으로써 고객 신뢰를 확보해야 함을 확인 할 수 있었으며, 또한 철도이용자들에게 고객 충성도를 유발시키기 위해 전략으로 준법경영프로그램의 도입, 열차안전관리 정보 제공, 지역 산업과의 연계를 통한 맞춤형 관광 상품의 개발, 커뮤니케이션 전략을 이행할 것을 제안하였다.
