현재 치열한 경쟁상황 속에서 기업들은 소비자들이 다른 대안으로 전환하는 것을 막기 위한 다양한 전략들을 실행하고 있으며, 이 중에서 전환장벽을 이용하는 전략은 고객유지와 관련해 매우 효과적인 것으로 알려져 있다. 하지만 전환 장벽으로 인해 새로운 대안으로 바꾸지 못하고 현재 서비스제공자와의 관계를 유지해야 하는 소비자 입장에서도 전환장벽이 긍정적일 것인가? 심리적 반작용이론에 의하면, 사람들은 어떤 자유가 위협받거나 제거될 때, 그 자유를 되찾는 방향으로 동기부여 되거나 어떤 부정적 반응을 보일 수 있다고 하였다. 전환장벽 역시 전환의 자유를 제약한다는 점에서 소비자의 부정적 반응을 유발할 수 있으므로, 본 연구는 전환장벽으로 인해 다른 대안을 단념해야 하는 상황에서 소비자가 경험할 수 있는 부정적 심리 반응과 그에 영향을 주는 변수들에 초점을 맞춘다. 연구가설에서, 부정적 심리반응에는 '이전선택에 대한 후회', '현재 제공자에 대한 원망', '좌절된 제공자에 대한 열망'을 포함하였으며, 전환좌절 상황의 특성-'좌절된 대안의 매력성', '전환 장벽의 심각성'-이 이러한 반응들에 영향을 줄 것으로 가정하였다. 그리고 이러한 전환 좌절상황의 특성이 주는 부정적 영향은 현재까지 해당 제공자로부터 받은 대우에 따라서 달라질 것으로 보고 지각된 공정성을 조절변수로 추가하였다. 연구 결과 전환좌절상황의 특성과 부정적 심리반응의 관계는 모두 지지된 반면, 지각된 공정성의 조절효과는 대부분의 관계를 상호작용 공정성이 조절하는 것으로 나타나 일부만이 지지 되었다. 이러한 결과는 전환 장벽의 긍정적 측면에만 영향을 밝혀온 기존 연구의 한계점보완하고 있으며 그에 따른 이론적 실무적 시사점을 제공해준다.

By focusing on mobile social commerce apps, this study was to: (a) segment consumers based on loyalty and switching intentions, (b) to test differences in perceived service quality and switching barrier factors among segments, and (c) examine the effects of perceived service quality and switching barriers on loyalty intention. A total of 550 responses were obtained from mobile users in their 20s to 40s who purchased fashion products through a social commerce app in the last six months. Consumers were classified into four clusters: split-loyals, latent loyals, habitual loyals, and switchers. The split-loyal group showed the highest level of mean scores on perceived service quality and switching barrier factors; however, the switcher group showed the lowest mean scores. Of service qualities, app design had a significant effect on loyalty intentions in both split-loyal and latent loyal groups; the factors of ease of use and privacy had significant effects on loyalty intentions in switchers. Of switching barrier factors, virtual relationship had the most strongly effect on loyalty intention for the four segments.

Interview survey was performed with structured questionnaire for the entire people, 923 persons who experienced medical service utilization during one year before survey on time, september, 2002. In comparison of switching barriers by sociodemographic characteristics, lower income group and lower educated group showed the higher level of recognition level on availability of changing the service provider significantly. In terms of economic loss as one of switching barriers, the group of over aged 61, the lower income group and the lower educated group felt higher than other groups. Also, the time loss of switching barrier was recognized in 41-60 aged group and employee in service industry highly. For the perceived risk factor as another switching barrier, the high educated group showed the higher recognition level in performance risk and felt higher social risk than other groups. In analysis of customer satisfaction and loyalty levels by switching barrier components, the lower level of availability of changing the service provider and the higher level of recognition for economic and time loss, they showed the higher satisfaction and loyalty levels. In final step, multiple regression analysis showed the positive relationship between customer satisfaction, switching barrier and customer loyalties.

Purpose - The objective of this paper is to suggest that a company's CRM activities have an effect on customer loyalty in the Korean retail industry. Typically, Korean customers use large local marts with convenience in the absence of any other choice. Therefore, this study aims to shed light on the fact that customers do not break away from their preferred retail stores, either owing to their stringent loyalty (the lie loyalty) or difficulty in turning to alternative choices. Research design, data, methodology - By surveying a sample of 200 hyper-markets through a questionnaire, and excluding dubious and missing responses, I obtained 181 samples to be included in the empirical analysis. The survey was conducted for two weeks during October 2011. AMOS and SPSS18 statistical packages were used for conducting statistical analysis for this study. This paper was developed using the concept of customer equity on CRM, which is known to have a positive impact on customer loyalty through the satisfaction and switching-barrier parameters. The hypothesis of this paper is that customer equity is composed of relationship equity, value equity and brand equity, and that the relationship equity variable has positive effects on the value equity and brand equity amongst other types of customer equity. Moreover, customer equity influences customer loyalty through parameters including customer satisfaction and switching costs in the Korean retail industry. Results - According to the results of the analysis, it was confirmed that relationship value had a positive effect (+) on all variables, including the perceived QoS (Quality of Service), store brand images, economic value, and store convenience. It was also confirmed that the assumption that the perceived QoS (Quality of Service), economic value, and store convenience had a positive effect on customer satisfaction was shown to be statistically significant, with a p-value below 0.05. Only the store brand value variable had an effect on the switching-cost variable with respect to the causal sequence of the variables, including the perceived QoS, store brand value, economic value, and store convenience. The remaining variables did not seem to influence the switching-cost variable. On the other hand, another effect showed that customer satisfaction had a statistically significant influence on the switching-costs variable. Moreover, the customer satisfaction and switching-cost variables also had a statistical influence on customer loyalty. Conclusions - The CRM activities had an influence on various variables (including perceived QoS, perceived economic value, store brand value, and store convenience) pertaining to customer values. Customer satisfaction and switching-cost had some effects on customer loyalty as a parameter. This confirms that stringent loyalty exists with respect to customer loyalty in the retail industry. The fact that the variable had such a statistically significant influence on the switching-cost and store brand equity variables means that consumers react to the reputation of a brand, confidence about the store, and quality confidence. The implications of this study in the retail industry should be further extended to devise strategies for customer retention.
