본 연구는 소비자의 외국음식전문점 이용행동을 밝히기 위해 소비자의 특성 및 외국음식전문점 이용접근성, 제품특성, 사회적 요인이 외국음식전문점에 대한 태도에 영향을 미치며, 후속하여 외국음식전문점 이용태도가 향후외국음식 이용의사에 미치는 영향을 인과관계의 틀에서 검증하였다. 이를 위해 국내에서 외국음식을 먹어본 경험이 있는 소비자를 대상으로 약 한달 동안 조사를 실시하였다. 총 230부를 배포하여 215부를 회수하였으나 이중 불성실한 응답으로 분석대상으로 적합하지 않는 자료 5부를 제외한 210부를 최종분석에 사용하였다. 연구결과, 첫째, 소비자의 라이프스타일 중 미각추구형은 주관적 규범 및 이용태도 모두에 유의한 영향을 미치지 않는 것으로 나타났으나 유행추구형은 이들 모두에 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 둘째, 소비자의 다양성추구성향은 주관적 규범에는 영향을 미치지 않는 것으로 나타났으나 외국음식전문점 이용태도에는 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타나 외국음식 문화와 관련된 다양성추구성향은 타인에게 영향을 받기보다는 개인적 성향으로 인한 결과로 이해된다. 셋째, 외국음식전문점의 이용접근성이 주관적 규범에 유의한 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타나 외국음식전문점을 이용하는데 있어 접근성이 용이할수록 주변사람들의 영향으로 이용가능성이 높음을 시사하고 있다. 반면에 외국음식에 대한 소비자의 생소함이나 이용에 대한 부담감으로 인해 직접 체험하지 않는 상황에서는 접근이 용이하더라도 직접적 태도형성이 이루어지지 않음을 보여주고 있다. 넷째, 외국음식의 민족적 고유성이 주관적 규범에 영향을 미치지 않는 것으로 나타났으나 외국음식전문점의 이용태도에는 긍정적 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 다섯째, 소비자의 주관적 규범이 외국음식전문점의 이용태도와 향후 외국음식전문점 이용의사 모두에 긍정적 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 마지막으로 외국음식전문점 이용태도가 향후 외국음식 이용의사에 긍정적 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타나 소비자의 외국음식전문점 이용을 촉진시키기 위해서는 우선적으로 긍정적 태도가 형성될 수 있도록 하는 것이 효과적임을 보여주고 있다.

BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVES: Although children of ethnic minority groups are experiencing a transition from a predominance of undernutrition to overnutrition, there is little evidence of a dual-malnutrition burden. Therefore, this study examined the double burden of malnutrition among school-aged ethnic minority children living in mountainous areas and its association with their diets. SUBJECTS/METHODS: A cross-sectional study was conducted from September 2019 to March 2020 in 3 mountainous areas of Northern Vietnam among 1,556 ethnic minority school-aged children. The prevalence of under-nutrition (stunting and thinness) and over-nutrition (overweight and obesity) were measured using the WHO 2006 child growth standards (height-for-age and BMI-for-age Z-score). Nutritional practices were evaluated by the frequency of food consumption based on a 4-level scale. RESULTS: The percentage of children with stunting and thinness were 14.0% and 5.4%, respectively, while the figure for overweight/obesity was 9.4%. The factors positively associated with stunting were living in a family with more than 2 children or being Muong/other ethnicities compared to the Tay ethnicity. Children who consumed fish/shrimps/crabs or milk weekly/daily were less likely to be undernourished compared to those who never consumed these foods. By contrast, children who never consumed foods rich in vitamin A precursors and vitamin A and fruit or consumed daily snacks/junk food were more likely to be overweight/obese. CONCLUSIONS: Undernutrition remains a common issue among school-aged children and adolescents of ethnic minority groups, while over-nutrition exists simultaneously. Public health nutrition programs promoting adequate diets and positive lifestyle changes related to nutrition are essential to tackle the double burden of malnutrition among ethnic minority children.

본 연구는 국내 에스닉 푸드점 외식업의 실태와 서비스 실패, 회복, 외식 서비스품질이 고객만족과 재이용의도에 미치는 영향을 연구하고자 하였다. 본 연구는 에스닉 푸드점의 서비스 실패의 심각성과 통제성뿐만 아니라 서비스 품질의 관계의질, 즉 신뢰, 만족 및 충성도에 관련한 변수의 인과관계를 규명하여 서비스 품질에 대한 모형을 확장하였다는데 의의를 두었다. 그 결과, 서비스 실패를 경험하고 실패 상황의 심각성과 통제성을 인지한 고객에게 분배적 공정성을 최우선적으로 제시할 수 있는 전략을 수립하는 것이 중요하다는 것을 알 수 있다. 또한 본 연구가 현재 국내에서 운영하고 있는 외식업체를 대상으로 조사를 실시함으로써, 우리나라 외식관련업체 관리자들에게 실무적으로 도움이 될 수 있는 방안을 고려하여 외식업 서비스 실패 및 그 회복에 관한 유용한 정보를 제공, 보다 체계적인 사업계획을 수립, 고객관리의 실천과 이에 따른 이익창출에 도움이 될 것으로 사료된다. 현재 본 연구가 가지는 이점으로 불경기의 현 외식시장을 극복하고 더욱 성장하고 굳건히 자리 잡기 위해서 국내 외식업 호황과 서비스품질에 관한 실질적인 연구 자료가 필요한 시점이다.
