A consumer is an individual entity with various motivations. This study is intended to incorporate a hierarchical structure of motivation to understand self-determined motivation for purchasing secondhand merchandise at thrift stores. A conceptual model adopted from Cadwallader et al. (2010)'s comprehensive model of motivation used in a marketing context was developed to investigate motivational process in secondhand merchandise shopping. The conceptual model includes the three levels of motivational structure-the global, contextual (environmental concern and frugality), and situational motivation. A series of the causal relationships among the three levels of self-determined motivations and buying intention to shop at thrift stores were hypothesized. A total of 219 respondents from two different northeastern state universities in the U.S. completed a self-administered survey. The results indicated that secondhand merchandise shopping is well explained in the hierarchical structure of self-determined motivation where the global motivation had a positive impact on the contextual motivations regarding environmental concern and frugality. Of the two contextual motivations, only environmental concern had a positive impact on situational motivation for shopping at thrift stores. Finally, the situational motivation positively influenced the intention to shop at thrift stores. The results of this model suggest that the hierarchical structure of self-determined motivation would be a very useful framework to understand consumer behavior for apparel shopping. Also, further research can be done to identify other contextual motivational factors to understand consumer motivation for shopping at thrift stores.

본 연구는 기존의 기술수용모델의 핵심인 지각된 사용 용이성과 지각된 편의성이 소비자의 제품 품질 지각에 미치는 영향에서, 연령, 인지욕구, 그리고 패션관여가 미치는 조절효과를 조사했다. 분석 결과, 가정되었던 지각된 유용성과 사용용이성의 지각된 품질에의 긍정적 영향력은 통계적으로 유의한 것으로 확인되었다. 이러한 결과는 웨어러블즈의 수용에서 기술수용모델을 적용하여 설명했던 선행연구들의 결과와 일관되었다. 반면 가정되었던 연령, 인지욕구, 패션관여의 조절효과는 부분적으로 지지되었다. 가령 응답자 연령은 웨어러블즈에 대한 지각된 유용성이 지각된 품질에 미치는 영향에 유의한 부적 조절효과를 보인 반면, 지각된 사용용이성이 지각된 품질에 미치는 영향에 유의한 조절효과를 나타내지 못했다.

As ICT technology develops rapidly and social and consumer interactions require more knowledge of the technology, the interest for baby boomers' ICT technology acceptance is increasing as they age. However, previous studies have limitations as they lack a systematic and in-depth understanding of this phenomenon in which the emerging elderly population embraces emerging technology. To overcome this limitation, this study carried out a phenomenological study on baby boomers' ICT technology acceptance. In addition, since existing studies have just simply listed variables or proved the relationship between a few variables, this study aimed to find the relationship between variables by analyzing the data obtained through semi-structured interviews. Through this procedure, it was aimed to construct conceptual model which illustrates the relationships between variables so that understanding the phenomenon of baby boomers' acceptance of ICT technology with a holistic view could be possible. The ten variables suggested by Lee & Coughlin (2015) that cover multiple sides of baby boomers' technology acceptance were used. As a result, we found that there is a sequential relationship between these variables and different agents can be related to each variable in sequence. Also, from an ecological perspective, we analyzed baby boomers and their surroundings to find agents involved in this phenomenon.
