It reorganized variables to find the conditions of values that could stimulate consumers' motives to revive the traditional market. Research Design, data, and methodology - This study employed 202 copies of effective questionnaires, based on the data of Yang & Ju (2012), to conduct correlation, regression, and structured equation modeling (SEM). Results - The results emphasized product and store atmosphere as store selection attributes to consider in the minimum error correction (MEC) model; service factor was not significant. Further, consumers valued relationship quality in the test of mediated effects of the sub-factors of store selection attributes, including consumers' social and emotional value. The relationship quality significantly influenced consumers' value in traditional markets that needed to improve and develop using several variables. Conclusions - This study revealed connections between attributes, consequences, and values using the causal relation model, to generate an optimal model based on a practical and theoretical background and proposed ways to obtain consumer-related information easily.

Currently, convenience stores, which are naturally located within a 1-minute walk, are easily accessible, so customers can easily purchase the items they need, and now they are indispensable places for people. In line with modern society that focuses on buying and selling goods quickly and easily, such as 'convenience' and 'quickness', convenience stores also have been changing by marketing such as home-delivery service and storage of fresh products, not just simply selling goods. In addition, by utilizing application software, we can use everything with one smartphone that we use a lot, in order to provide reservation delivery, pickup, and subscription services. In this study, we conducted experiments focusing on the factors of convenience store service quality and users using convenience stores, and examined how these experiments affect behavioral intentions of customers through their emotional responses. As a result, it was confirmed that empathy had a positive (+) effect on the pleasure of customers, and reliability had a negative (-) effect on arousal. In addition, it was found that empathy had a positive (+) effect on arousal, and responsiveness and empathy had a positive (+) effect on dominance. Finally, it was found that pleasure and dominance had a positive (+) effect on the loyalty of customers. In this study, we intend to provide basic data on existing or future convenience stores.

Purpose - As more consumers pursue high quality products at reasonable prices, Korean retail companies are increasing investment in expanding their outlet stores. Despite the growing importance of the outlet business, there has been very little empirical research on consumers' outlet shopping behaviors. This study aimed to investigate the relationships between consumers' perceived product value (performance quality, value for money, and social value) of outlet stores and overall shopping satisfaction and the effect of shopping satisfaction on outlet store loyalty. Research design, data and methodology - The authors developed a structural model in which performance quality, value for money, and social value of products are proposed to affect overall outlet shopping satisfaction, thus increasing customer loyalty. To analyze the research model, data were collected from 88 shoppers at suburban outlets. SPSS 21.0 and AMOS 21.0 were utilized to test the hypotheses. The unidimensionality of each construct was supported from the results of the reliability test with Cronbach's α and confirmatory factor analyses. Correlation analysis was performed and the results warranted the nomological validity of the measures. The fit statistics of the overall model analysis demonstrated an acceptable fit(X²(₁₆₁)=171.651, p=.000; X²/df=1.546; GFI=.821, NFI=.879, TLI=.942, CFI=.953, RMR=.035, RMSEA=.079). Results - The findings are as follows. First, consumers' perceived value of product performance quality had a significant positive effect on overall outlet shopping satisfaction. Consumers, who evaluate performance quality of the product more positively, tend to express stronger satisfaction and happiness about outlet shopping experience. Second, consumers' perceived social value of outlet products influenced their overall satisfaction significantly. Consumers who believe that products of outlet stores enhance self-concepts are more likely to satisfy with outlet shopping experience. However, consumers' perception of outlet products on value for money was not found to significantly influence overall shopping satisfaction. Finally, overall shopping satisfaction had a significant and positive influence on loyalty. Conclusions - While outlet retailers have traditionally focused on promoting competitively priced merchandise, the results of this study suggest that customers' overall satisfaction with outlet shopping is influenced more by the non-price-related product values. In the context of an outlet shopping environment, performance quality and social value of the products were found to be more critical predictors of customer overall satisfaction. Therefore, it would not be efficient for outlet retailers to highlight economic value of their merchandise. Instead, they need to investigate the performance quality of the products regularly and try to deliver quality guaranteed goods to enhance customer satisfaction. Also, outlet retailers should differentiate their businesses by carrying more unique and prestigious brands and emphasize higher social value and symbolic meanings of their products. As competition among outlet retailers are getting fierce, retail companies need to focus on strengthening customer loyalty with a long-term perspective. With a deeper understanding of the relationship between consumers' perceived product values and shopping satisfaction, outlet retailers will be able to develop customer loyalty strategies effectively and to achieve competitive advantage.

1997년부터 국내유통시장이 개방된 이래, 국내외의 국적소속으로 국내에서 영업활동을 하는 할인점들은 치열한 시장점유율 쟁탈전을 벌이고 있다. 이처럼 할인점간의 경쟁이 격화되고 있는 시점에서 유통업계의 경영진과 이 분야를 연구하는 학자는 할인점에 대한 만족도와 충성도 등에 대한 심도 있는 이해와 이를 개선하기 위한 노력이 절실히 요망된다. 이런 맥락에서 본 연구에서는 할인점의 점포이미지가 할인점에 대한 소비자의 태도, 만족도 및 재방문의도에 어떤 영향을 미치는가를 검토하였다. 부산지역 소비자 416명 을 대상으로 한 설문조사를 시행한 결과, 할인점의 점포이미지는 할인점에 대한 태도와 만족도에 영향을 주지만 할인점의 재방문의도에는 직접적인 영향을 주지 않는 것으로 나타났다. 한편, 할인점에 대한 태도는 할인점에 대한 만족도와는 직접적인 관련성이 없고 할인점의 재방문의도에 보다 직접적으로 긍정적인 영향을 주는 것으로 나타났다. 또한 할인점에 대해 긍정적인 점포이미지를 가진 소비자일수록 할인점에 대해 만족할 가능성이 높고, 이런 만족도는 할인점의 재방문의도에 영향을 주는 것으로 나타났다. 이런 연구결과에 따른 이론적 및 실무적 시사점과 본 연구의 한계점 그리고 미래의 연구방향을 제시하였다.

1990년대 중반 국내 유통시장 개방 이후 우리나라 소매업의 가장 큰 변화중의 하나는 외국계 할인점의 등장과 백화점의 급성장이라 할 수 있다. 할인점과 백화점은 우리나라 소매시장의 주류를 이루어온 재래시장이나 슈퍼마켓 중심으로 형성되어 온 유통산업구조 변화를 가지고 왔다. 소매업이 단순히 물건을 구매하는 장소개념에서 즐거움, 행복등 다양한 가치를 제공하는 공간으로 변하고 있다. 따라서 본 연구의 목적은 이론적 실증적 연구를 통해 백화점 쇼핑경험가치가 백화점 브랜드나 이미지에 그리고 충성도에 미치는 영향관계를 파악하는데 있다. 특히 독립변수인 쇼핑 경험가치를 심미성, 유희성, 소비자이익, 서비스 우수성으로 구분하여 내생변수인 브랜드인지도, 브랜드이미지와 최종변수인 점포충성도에 유의적인 영향관계가 있는지를 검증하였다. 국내에 거주하면서 백화점 이용경험이 있는 소비자들을 대상으로 252명을 설문 조사하여, 235명을 분석에 사용하였다. 실증분석은 SPSS 17.0K와 AMOS 17.0을 이용하여 공분산 구조분석을 실시하였다. 그 결과 쇼핑 경험가치중에서 소비자 이익을 제외한 변수에서 인지도와 이미지에 정의 영향관계가 있을 뿐만 아니라, 점포 충성도에 정의 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 따라서 이 연구를 통해서 백화점 고객들은 단순히 상품을 구매하기 위해서 백화점을 이용하는 것이 아니라, 즐거움과 행복이라는 가치를 얻기 위해서 백화점을 이용하고, 어떤 측면에서 이런 면들이 백화점 이미지나 인지도, 충성도에 더 큰 영향을 준다고 할 수가 있다.
