The purpose of this research was to identify not only the effect of what consumers want from their brand identification and brand attachment, but also the effect of their perceived brand identification on their perceived brand attachment in the family restaurant setting. This research also investigated the causal relationship between a consumer's perceived brand attachment and brand loyalty. A total of 332 questionnaires were collected from customers who visited one of 4 nationallybranded family restaurants in Daegu. With the consent of the store managers of each family restaurant brand, students of Dongguk University helped respondents fill out questionnaires and collected the data. There were three major findings of this research. First, the benefits that consumers wanted were found to have a significant effect on their perceived brand identification and brand attachment. Second, the perceived brand identification of customers was found to have a significant effect on their perceived brand attachment. And third, the perceived brand attachment of customers was found to have a significant effect on their perceived brand loyalty. Also, consumer's benefits sought affected their perceived brand attachment through their perceived brand identification, and consumer's benefits sought and brand identification respectively influenced their perceived brand loyalty through their perceived brand attachment. Therefore, marketing managers or general managers of family restaurants should identify consumer benefits in order to increase sales and profits.

As more consumers have turned to online shopping since the COVID-19 pandemic, communication through offline channels has also entered a new phase. Young consumers recognize offline channels as a play space for enjoying various experience elements. Applying Pine and Gilmore's (1998) experiential economy theory, this study initially explores the structure of experience factors in the context of experiential fashion stores (RQ1). Next, we investigate the effect of experience factors on consumer loyalty by mediating store attachment (RQ2). In addition, the moderating effect of fashion innovativeness was verified (RQ3). This survey targeted members of the MZ generation who have visited experiential fashion stores. A total of 225 survey responses were analyzed using AMOS 22.0 and SPSS 26.0. First, as a result of factor analysis, the experience factors of experiential fashion stores were classified into education, escapism, and aesthetic entertainment. Secondly, as a result of structural equation modeling (SEM), all three experience factors positively affected store attachment, and increased attachment positively enhanced consumer loyalty. Finally, as a result of multigroup SEM analysis, consumers with low fashion innovativeness considered educational experience as an important factor in inducing store attachment, while consumers with high fashion innovativeness value escapism and aesthetic entertainment experiences.

The popularity of K-pop, the development of diverse media and communications, and rapid globalization are increasing consumers' attachment to celebrities. These celebrities, called "Human brand", have a growing impact on consumers. However, research on idol celebrities has been conducted mainly on teenagers. Furthermore, there are limits to the studies on consumers' attachment to idol celebrities who do not advertise specific products and intention to purchase products which are not advertised but related to the idol human brand. Therefore, this study has been conducted on 301 out of 400 adult women in their twenties to forties in Korea to examine the relationship between the characteristics of the idol human brand, attachment to the idol human brand, desire to imitate the idol human brand, desire to identify with the idol human brand and its fandom community, and the effect on purchase intention. For the statistical analysis, SPSS and AMOS were used. The study found that the characteristics of the idol human brand which are trust, professionality, social attractiveness, and physical attractiveness positively influenced attachment to the idol human brand. The attachment to the idol human brand positively affected the imitation desire toward the idol human brand, and the identification desire with the idol human brand, and to identify with its fandom community. Additionally, the desire to imitate and to identify with the idol human brand and its fandom community positively affected the intention. Furthermore, the relationships between all variables were found to have a significant mediating effect.

The purpose of this study is 1) to develop and validate the BRQ construct perceived by brand loyal consumers, 2) to evaluate the predictive capacity of the individual BRQ dimension and brand relationship benefit on consumers' relationship intention, and 3) to identify the distinctive loyalty orientation based on the concept of BRQ. Questionnaire data from 379 brand loyal consumers on BRQ, brand relationship benefit, relationship intention, and their brand loyal behavior pattern were analyzed. The results showed that brand loyal consumers' BRQ composed of 3 dimensions including 'compensational bind', 'self attachment', and 'trust'. In addition, the mediating role of BRQ in predicting consumers' loyal relationship intention was validated using the structural equation model. Regarding the effect of each BRQ dimension on loyal relationship intention, consumers' intention to be loyal to an apparel brand was more explained by self attachment than the other dimensions. This study also intended to provide a useful direction to apparel brands in finding out which relationship quality type is more effective for differentiated marketing strategies by comparing the BRQ of single-brand loyal consumers and that of multi-brand loyal consumers.

명품브랜드의 대중화에 따라 명품브랜드에 대한 다양한 연구들이 진행되어 오고 있지만 기존 연구들은 명품브랜드 구매행동에 영향을 미치는 변수를 규명하는 데 초점을 맞추고 있다. 본 연구는 명품브랜드 소비자들이 타인에게 인정받기 위한 수단과 자아만족의 수단으로 명품브랜드를 소비한다는 관점에서 소비자와 명품브랜드간의 관계형성경로를 개발하고 브랜드 애착과 브랜드 몰입을 인과모델의 주요 구성개념으로 제시하고 있다. 또한 각 구성개념간 인과관계에서 조절초점의 조절효과도 살펴보았다. 연구결과를 살펴보면 브랜드 개성의 5차원 가운데 '생동감', '성실성' 그리고 '세련됨'이 소비자와 명품브랜드간의 동일시에 통계적으로 유의미한 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 특히 '성실성' 요인이 브랜드 동일시에 상대적으로 가장 큰 영향력을 미치는 것으로 나타났는데, 이는 국내 소비자들이 명품브랜드의 소비시 주위의 부정적 시각을 피하고 사회적 바람직성(social desirability)을 추구하는 성향이 있기 때문으로 볼 수 있다. 다음으로 명품브랜드에 동일시를 느끼는 소비자는 명품브랜드에 대해 애착의 관계를 형성하며 형성된 애착은 브랜드 몰입으로 이어지는 것으로 나타났다. 즉, 명품브랜드에 동일시를 느끼는 소비자는 해당 명품브랜드를 통해 자아표현 욕구를 충족시킴으로써 정서적 유대관계를 형성하고 이를 지속적으로 유지하려는 것으로 해석할 수 있다. 마지막으로 브랜드 동일시-브랜드 애착-브랜드 몰입의 인과관계에서 조절초점 유형의 조절효과를 살펴 본 결과 방어초점지향의 소비자 집단에서 인과 경로계수가 더욱 높게 나타났다. 이는 관계를 의식하는 성향이 높은 소비자일수록 명품브랜드와의 관계단절로 인한 손실에 대해서 민감하게 반응한다는 것을 시사한다.

본 연구는 매스미디어를 통해 흔히 접할 수 있는 스타를 마케팅 커뮤니케이션을 통해 자산적 가치를 구축하려는 브랜드의 한 유형으로 보고, 소비자가 스타브랜드와 관계를 구축/유지하는 과정에서 나타나는 정서적 애착의 선행요인과 그 효과를 분석하는데 그 목적이 있다. 스타브랜드 애착의 영향요인으로 소비자 욕구와 스타의 특성을 제시하고, 이들이 스타브랜드 애착에 미치는 영향력을 살펴보고 스타브랜드에 대한 소비자의 애착이 후원브랜드에 대한 반응에 미치는 효과와 그 과정에서 스타브랜드와 제품의 이미지적합성 정도에 따라 소비자의 반응이 어떻게 조절되는가를 알아보았다. 스타특성으로는 전문성, 진실성, 호감성, 유사성을 제시하고, 소비자 욕구충족성의 유형으로는 자율성(autonomy) 욕구충족성, 관계성(relatedness) 욕구충족성, 능력(competence) 욕구충족성을 사용하였다. 실증분석 결과 스타특성요인에서는 진실성과 호감성이, 소비자 욕구충족성에서는 자율성 욕구충족성과 관계성 욕구충족성이 스타브랜드에 대한 애착에 정(+)의 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 스타브랜드 애착은 후원브랜드에 대한 소비자의 호의적 태도에 정(+)의 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났고, 스타브랜드와 후원브랜드 제품 간의 적합성 정도가 소비자의 태도형성에 조절적 효과를 갖는 것을 확인하였다. 본 연구는 스타브랜드 애착의 원인을 규명하고 스타브랜드가 후원하는 제품브랜드에 대한 소비자반응을 이해함으로써 강력한 소비자-브랜드 관계를 형성/강화하는데 효과적인 접근방법을 제공했다는데 의의를 찾을 수 있다.

This study defines Korean wave stars as Korean wave human brands and examines the influence of the characteristics, attachment, and self-congruity of the Korean wave human brand on brand equity. For this, this study surveyed Chinese female consumers in their 20s and 30s who consume many Korean wave products from May 2018 to June 2018. First, human brand characteristics, attachment, self-congruity, Korean wave aspiration level, and brand equity according to demographic characteristics were identified. Second, characteristics, attachment, self-congruity, and the aspiration level of the Korean wave human brand showed correlations with brand equity. However, brand awareness, a sub-factor of brand equity, does not show correlations with self-congruity. Third, characteristics, attachment, self-congruity, and Korean wave aspiration level had a positively influenced brand equity. Fourth, when looking into the mediated effect of attachment on brand equity, both human brand characteristics and self-congruity showed a partially mediated effect. Fifth, when analyzing the adjustment effect in the Korean wave aspiration level, a group with higher Korean wave aspiration level showed more correlations with attachment and brand equity. This study found that attachment and self congruity are important elements in forming human brand and brand equity. This study is significant in that it verified the influence of Korean wave brand power that has been on the rise recently on brand equity and provided a theoretical basis that has allowed researchers to determine that the characteristics, attachment, and self-congruity of Korean wave human brand significantly influence brand equity.

Purpose - In the major global markets, such as US and China, consumer ethnocentrism has been strengtened and there is a growing need for related study. This research aims to investigate the effects of national pride and national attachment on consumer ethnocentrism, using a nationally representative dataset from 2013 Korean General Social Survey. Based on the reviews of literature in social and political sciences, two dimensions of national pride were considered: national society pride which is based on positive evaluations on the nation's democracy condition or social security system, and national achievement pride which is based on positive evaluations regarding the country's achievements in the areas of technology, art, sports, and so on. Research design, data, and methodology - The authors developed a structural model in which two types of national pride, national society and achievement pride, are proposed to affect national attachment, thus influencing consumer ethnocentrism. 1,294 surveys were used for empirical analysis. The hypotheses were tested by utilizing SPSS 22.0 and AMOS 21.0. The unidimensionality of each construct and the nomological validity were supported from the results of factor analyses and correlation analysis. Results - It was found that both national society pride and national achievement pride have significant and positive effects on national attachment. Consumers who show stronger pride on the social systems or the global achievements of Korea are more likely to remain being a citizen of the country and support the country even in wrong. Also, there was a significant and positive relationship between national attachment and consumer ethnocentrism. Korean consumers who have stronger attachment to Korea tend to express higher ethnocentrism to protect Korean labor market and to promote economic development of the country. Conclusions - The findings of this study showed that companies and government need to emphasize the country's advanced social environments or global competitiveness in technology, sports, art, and so on, to boost national attachment. With a deeper understanding on the relationships among national pride, national attachment, and consumer ethnocentrism, the authors expect that both local and foreign companies in Korea will be able to develop more effective marketing strategies and to achieve sustainable competitive advantage.
