This study investigated how consumers and company employees differ in their perceptions of boycotts based on the co-orientation model. Regarding the reasons of boycotts, consumers take both consumer damage cases and unethical conduct equally seriously, while company employees take consumer damage cases more seriously than unethical conduct. Consumer perceptions of the necessity for boycotts was higher than company employees, while employees were more aware of the negative impact of boycotts than consumers. Based on the co-orientation model, we examined how consumers and employees estimate differences in their perceptions of boycotts. The results showed that consumers and company employees are not accurately aware of each other's perceptions. Lastly, logistic regressions were conducted to identify the factors affecting three types of participation: online opinion expression, personal non-purchasing, and persuading other people to join the boycotts. The results showed that male consumers are more likely to participate in online opinion expression; consumer perceptions of effectiveness of boycotts and the perceived severity of consumer damage increase the likelihood of participation in online opinion expression. Consumer perceptions of the necessity of boycotts and their opinion leadership increased the likelihood of non-purchasing. Finally, consumers with higher opinion leadership and female consumers were more likely to encourage others to take part in boycotts. In addition, consumers are more likely to persuade others to join the boycotts if they have stronger beliefs that companies will not seriously consider consumer problems.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the influence of consumer-internet brand relationship on consumer's satisfaction and loyalty. In order to establish structural equation model, previous studies about consumer-brand relationship, consumer's satisfaction and loyalty were investigated. The survey was limited to the respondents over 20 years old living in Seoul and other metropolitan areas who had purchased fashion products in internet shopping mall. Questionnaires were collected from February 1, 2012 to February 12, 2012 and 562 useful data were analyzed by descriptive statistics, exploratory factor analysis, confirmatory factor analysis, reliability analysis, and Pearson's correlation analysis, using Amos 19. The results of verifying the hypotheses were as follows: First, consumer-internet brand relationship was classified into two dimensions including 'emotional affection' and 'cognitive trust'. Second, both 'emotional affection' and 'cognitive trust' had a positive effect on consumer's satisfaction. Third, 'emotional affection' had a positive effect on consumer's loyalty, but 'cognitive trust' did not affect consumer's loyalty directly. Finally consumer's satisfaction had a significant effect on consumer's loyalty. It was suggested that consumer-internet brand relationship could be an important factor to form brand equity. Therefore, internet shopping mall marketer should establish a strategy that can help customers make a strong relationship with their internet shopping mall.

The purpose of this study is to identify apparel consumers' immoral shopping behaviors from apparel retail sales associates' perspectives. As a first step to understand immoral consumer behaviors in apparel retail setting, the study took an exploratory approach using five focus-group interviews with 35 apparel salespeople. The immoral behavior of fashion (product) consumers was divided into two categories: one was the immoral behavior associated with the product, and the other was the immoral behavior relative to the consumer. The immoral behavior associated with the product was classified into three types: shoplifting, inappropriate returns, and damaging to merchandise. Immoral behavior relative to the consumer was classified into two types: abusive behavior by a consumer toward sales associates and excessive demand. Although, shoplifting was the primary immoral behavior mentioned by all interview participants, most sales associates failed to recognize shoplifting as a serious criminal behavior. Another commonly mentioned immoral consumer behaviors was retail borrowing, which may pose serious problems to the fashion industry. The findings of this study will provide a basis for approaches that may help decrease immoral consumer behavior at fashion retail stores and provide a basis for developing materials for consumer education over the long term.

The purpose of this study is to provide insights into live streaming consumer purchase intention by drawing on congruence between consumer and influencer factors and live shopping contents factors during the spread of COVID-19. We surveyed 348 individuals who have watched Fresh Hema's live streaming. SPSS and AMOS were used for data analysis. We determined that only actual congruity between influencer and consumer significantly influenced the consumer social experience. On the other hand, both the informativeness and entertainment value of live shopping contents positively impacted the consumer social experience. Additionally, social experience was significantly related to consumer co-experience and purchase intention. Moreover, the significant mediation effect of social experience was found amongst congruence between consumer and influencers, live shopping contents, co-experience, and purchase intention.

본 연구는 다양한 모바일결제 서비스들을 대상으로 소비자 혁신성과 '모바일결제 서비스 외의 이전 서비스에 대한 신뢰'가 모바일결제 사용의도에 미치는 영향을 실증적으로 검증하였다. 연구 결과, 소비자의 혁신성은 모바일결제 사용의도에 직접적인 영향을 미칠 뿐만 아니라 상대적 이점과 이미지를 매개로 하여 간접적으로도 영향을 미쳤다. 그리고 이전 서비스에 대한 신뢰는 모바일결제 사용의도에 직접적인 영향을 미칠 뿐만 아니라 상대적 이점, 이미지 및 지각된 위험을 매개로 하여 간접적으로도 영향을 미쳤다. 본 연구를 통하여 이전 서비스에서 구축된 소비자의 신뢰가 모바일결제 서비스에 대한 신뢰로 전이되는 것을 발견하였다. 그러므로 모바일결제 서비스를 제공하는 기업들은 모바일결제 서비스에서 신뢰를 구축하기 위해 노력하는 것뿐만 아니라, 다른 분야에서도 신뢰를 구축 및 유지하기 위해서 노력해야 할 것이다. 또한 굳건한 신뢰 구축 과정을 통해 지각된 위험을 줄이고 모바일결제 사용의도를 높일 수 있다. 본 연구는 다양한 모바일결제서비스를 포괄하여 모바일결제 사용의도에 영향을 미치는 새로운 경로를 발견함으로써 연구의 결과를 선점전략에 적용할 수 있도록 제안하였다.

This study aims to examine consumer product safety search levels, as well as their response to safety-oriented behavior change, in a bid to use the results in the diverse policy formulation of government and business, and as basic data for securing consumer safety. The findings of this study are outlined as follows. First, for consumer safety information search access and reliability, in the case of access, accessibility via TV and other press media was high, while accessibility via education (seminars, lectures, practice and campaigns) was low. Second, consumer safety-oriented behaviors were examined before and after purchasing products; there was a significant difference associated with monthly income prior to buying products. Third, in order to determine the influence of variables related to consumer safety-oriented behaviors, consumer safety-oriented behaviors as a dependent variable underwent regression analysis; information search access and reliability, and monthly income were found to significantly influence consumer behavior.

This study analyzed domestic consumers' perceptions of and participation in consumer boycotts and its relation to ethical consumerism by surveying 1,000 people aged 20 or more with an on-line questionnaire. Collected data were analyzed in terms of frequency, factor analyses, cluster analysis, ${\chi}^2$, and one-way analysis of variance. The research findings are summarized as follows. First, consumers had an average (or higher) perception level of consumer boycotts and were categorized into consumer boycott groups of pursuit of self-realization, achievement of results, and pursuit of rationality according to perception patterns of consumer boycotts. Second, the consumer boycott group of self-realization exhibited a high intention for participation in economic and ethical consumer boycotts and was active in all aspects compared to other groups; in addition, the consumer boycott group of results achievement was in the lowest level of ethical consumerism with a low intention for participation in consumer boycotts and ethical consumer boycotts along with the lowest perception level for consumer boycotts as ethical consumption. The consumer boycott group of rational pursuit was comparatively skeptical about the influence of consumer boycotts and with a low level of deontological ethical consumerism. They had additional doubts about the effectiveness of consumer boycotts despite being active participants. The study contributes to the establishment of an ethical consumer behavior theory by investigating connections between the perception patterns of and participation in consumer boycotts as well as ethical consumerism as consumer boycotts conceptually expand as a form of ethical consumption.
