With the growing preference among Chinese consumers for purchasing beauty products through social media networks (SNS), influencer marketing has recently emerged as a crucial strategy for maximizing word-of-mouth effects. This study aims to ascertain the impact of SNS beauty influencers' characteristics on trustworthiness and consumers' intentions to engage in word-of-mouth promotion. Furthermore, the study seeks to explore the moderating role of consumer involvement in the relationship between SNS beauty influencer characteristics and the trust consumers place in them. As part of an empirical analysis, an online survey was administered to 259 Chinese female consumers who had previously purchased beauty products through influencers on SNS. The data gathered were scrutinized by conducting multiple and hierarchical regression analysis to test the proposed hypotheses. The findings indicated that the attributes of "expertise,"' "intimacy," and "homogeneity" in SNS beauty influencers significantly affect influencer trust, whereas "charm" does not have a significant impact. Moreover, consumer involvement was found to moderate the relationship between SNS beauty influencer characteristics (expertise, intimacy, charm, and homogeneity) and influencer trust. Additionally, influencer trust positively influenced the intention to engage in word-of-mouth activities. These findings signify that leveraging influencers possessing qualities such as expertise, intimacy, and homogeneity can help enhance product exposure, popularity, and sales of the beauty industry. This study contributes valuable insights into the strategic utilization of influencer characteristics in the beauty industry and digital marketing, highlighting their pivotalrole in consumer engagement and the success of marketing strategies.

보상프로그램에 관한 기존 연구들은 프로그램에 대한 소비자의 지각된 가치가 높을수록 브랜드충성도가 증가할 것이라는 가정 하에, 소비자가 가장 선호하는 보상프로그램을 설계하는 데 초점을 맞추어왔다. 또한 이들은 연구대상으로 인터넷쇼핑몰보다는 주로 오프라인 매장을 사용하였다. 이는 인터넷쇼핑 상황에서 보상프로그램에 대한 소비자의 가치인식이 브랜드충성도에 미치는 효과가 실제로 유의한지 그렇다면 어떠한 경로를 통해 영향을 미치는 지에 대한 연구가 미흡함을 의미한다. 한편, 소비자는 인터넷쇼핑몰을 이용할 때 필요한 물건을 구매하고자 하는 실용적 동기와 쇼핑 그 자체를 즐기고자 하는 쾌락적 동기를 가지게 되며, 인터넷쇼핑몰은 소비자들의 이러한 양면적 동기를 충족시킬 수 있는 가치(실용적 또는 쾌락적 가치)있는 경험들을 제공함으로써 브랜드충성도를 증가시킬 수 있다. 이는 인터넷쇼핑몰이 제공하는 보상의 유형이 실용적인지, 쾌락적 인지에 따라 다른 유형의 쇼핑 가치를 강화함으로써 브랜드충성도에 영향을 미치는 경로가 달라질 수 있음을 의미한다. 따라서 본 연구는 다음과 같은 세 가지 목적을 가지고 수행되었다. 첫째, 인터넷쇼핑 상황에서의 보상프로그램이 오프라인 쇼핑상황에서와 동일하게 브랜드충성도를 제고하는데 효과적인지 알아보고자 하였다. 둘째, 기존 연구에서 고려하지 않은 "보상프로그램 가치인식 → 브랜드신뢰, 브랜드감정 → 브랜드충성도" 경로를 추가한 연구모형을 제안하고 분석함으로써, 보상프로그램 가치인식이 브랜드충성도에 미치는 또 다른 경로가 있음을 보이고자 하였다. 마지막으로, 보상의 유형(실용적 vs. 쾌락적)에 따라 "보상프로그램 가치인식 → 브랜드신뢰, 브랜드감정 → 브랜드충성도" 관계가 조절될 수 있는지 확인하고자 하였다. 이를 위해 문헌연구를 통해 10개의 가설 및 연구모형을 도출하였으며, 20대 남녀220명을 대상으로 설문조사를 실시하여 데이터를 수집한 후, 구조방정식모델을 이용해 가설들을 검정함으로써 다음과 같은 시사점들을 제공하였다. 먼저, 본 연구는 오프라인 매장을 중심으로 연구되어온 브랜드충성도에 대한 보상프로그램의 효과가 인터넷쇼핑 상황에서도 유의함을 보여줌으로써 인터넷쇼핑몰이 보상프로그램을 운영해야 할 논리적 근거를 마련해주고 있다. 하지만 기존 연구를 통해 확인된 "보상프로그램 가치인식 → 프로그램 충성도 → 브랜드충성도"의 경로가 인터넷쇼핑 상황에서는 유의하지 않은 것으로 나타났다. 반면 "보상프로그램 가치인식 → 브랜드신뢰, 브랜드감정 → 브랜드충성도"의 경로가 유의하게 나타나 인터넷쇼핑몰이 제공하는 보상프로그램에 대한 가치인식은 오프라인 매장과는 다른 경로를 통해 브랜드충성도에 영향을 미치고 있음을 알 수 있다. 한편, 인터넷쇼핑몰이 제공하는 보상프로그램에 대한 가치인식이 브랜드 신뢰에 미치는 영향은 쾌락적 보상보다는 실용적 보상이 더 크게 나타난 반면, (통계적으로 유의하지는 않았지만) 보상프로그램에 대한 가치인식이 브랜드감정에 미치는 영향은 실용적 보상 보다는 쾌락적 보상이 더 큰 것으로 나타났다. 이는 해당 인터넷쇼핑몰을 이용할 때 소비자가 상대적으로 더 추구하는 가치의 유형(실용적 vs. 쾌락적)을 파악하여 이를 강화할 수 있는 유형의 보상을 제공하거나 소비자가 스스로 보상의 유형을 선택할 수 있는 권한을 부여할 경우, 브랜드신뢰와 브랜드감정을 효과적으로 증가시켜 브랜드충성도를 제고할 수 있음을 말해준다.

Since the general quality of life has been improving, people have become interested in "well-being." The widespread acceptance of the importance of "well-being" to quality of life has encouraged people to take more interest in getting health information online when they need it. Expansive use of online health information suggests that individual characteristics (i.e., gender and other traits), Website features, and perceived trust are related to the primary concern for many online health information consumers. This study examines whether familiarity, perceived security, and reputation of health information on various Websites influence the relationship of trust and intention to use by gender. These research results will contribute to the adoption of online health information by gender and, moreover, will provide companies with an understanding of key characteristics of consumers who use emoticons and provide useful implications for marketing strategies to current and future consumers.

Purpose - The environment-friendly agricultural product market in Korea sees continual high growth. Recently, the Korean government has been actively fostering environment-friendly agriculture as an engine of future growth. Korean people have increasingly become more health-conscious and interested in food safety issues. Many distribution and retailing companies have responded with various promotional activities. However, most of these are not strategic and appear to have unsatisfactory outcomes. The main purpose of this paper is to suggest effective marketing strategies for environment-friendly agricultural products. To achieve this aim, the study empirically investigates the effects of consumer characteristics and trust on the purchase intention of environment-friendly agricultural products. Research design, data, methodology - Based on the theory of planned behavior, and previous studies related to the purchase intention and consumption of environment-friendly agricultural products, we set up five study hypotheses. These related to the demographic characteristics of consumers, purchase intention, and behavior of the products. We then set up a study model and four study hypotheses relating to health consciousness, environmental consciousness, consumer trust level, purchase intention, and behavior of the products. The data were collected using a questionnaire given to consumers living in Seoul and southern Geonggi Province. The final sample size is 403 and mean age is 44.3. SPSS 15.0 for Windows and Amos 7.0 were used as statistical analysis tools. Meaningful results were derived using frequency analysis, correlation analysis, a t-test, and structural equation modeling. Results - Empirical results of this research are as follows. (1) First, it is shown that consumers consider such attributes as intimacy and health to be important when they buy environment-friendly agricultural products. (2) We also found that consumers recognize the value of environment-friendly agricultural products as high, but their trust level as low. (3) Consumer groups consisting of married couples, with higher education, higher income, and higher age are shown to have a higher intention of buying environment-friendly agricultural products than any other consumer group. (4) It is estimated that the level of consumer trust positively affects the purchase intention of environment-friendly agricultural products. The path coefficient (.138) between consumer trust and purchase intention is statistically significant at the α = .05 level. (5). It is also estimated that environmental consciousness positively affects purchase intention. The path coefficient (.245) between environmental consciousness and purchase intention is statistically significant at the α = 0.05 level. The standardized path coefficients of consumer trust and environmental consciousness with purchase intention are .556 and .288 respectively. Therefore, consumer trust affects purchase intention more than environmental consciousness. (6) Finally, purchase intention is estimated to positively affect purchase behavior. Conclusions - Based upon empirical results, this research suggests that marketers of environment-friendly agricultural products should focus more on increasing consumer trust levels, emphasizing the training and education of employees. The government also should pay attention to a standardized certification system for environment-friendly agricultural products. Marketers of environment-friendly agricultural products should consider the consumer groups of married couples, with higher education, higher income, and higher age as a major target segment.

Previous research on online health (e-health) information was primarily focused on consumer information search behavior and information quality. Although studies addressing online information quality have flourished, they have yet to thoroughly examine whether consumers actually use the information they search. The purspose of this study suggests a conceptual framework that examines the potential antecedents of a consumers' willingness to depend on e-health information as an indicator of the consumer's trust of the provided e-health information. The proposed antecedents include healthcare product involvement, online skill level, perceived quality, and credibility of the source. Using structural equation modeling on online survey data, seven hypotheses, which describe the relationships between the variables of the model, were tested. The results indicate that consumer willingness to depend on provided e-health information was significantly influenced by the consumers' perceived quality and credibility of specific e-health information. Consumer involvement in healthcare and their online skill-level, respectively, also positively related to perceived quality and credibility regarding e-health information.
