Purpose: This study aims to propose Kano-SERVQUAL integrated approach as an effective tool for evaluating auto service quality attributes to enhance the use of SERVQUAL. Methods: The Kano-SERVQUAL survey was conducted to evaluate customer perception for 28 auto service quality attributes which were obtained from auto service expert in 'H' company. The correlation analysis of SI(Satisfaction Index), DI(Dissatisfaction Index) and expectation values are conducted in this study. Results: The 28 auto service quality attributes are classified into attractive attributes and one-dimensional attributes. The results of this study show that the correlations between the customers' expectation values and DI is strongly positive correlation with 1% significance level, expectation values and SI is negative correlation with 10% significance level. Conclusion: The results show that the purposed Kano-SERVQUAL integrated approach provides a deeper understanding of service quality attributes in that it distinguishes the customers' expectation values between highly expected attributes(e.g. must-be attribute) and less expected attributes(e.g. attractive attribute).

The current study aims to determine the effects of descriptive menu labels on customers' purchase intentions in a restaurant setting. The research identified the importance of information provided by the menu labels as well as how the different types of descriptive menu labels affect patrons' purchase intentions in an American-style restaurant. The subjects evaluated in this study were foreign clients who frequented the Western cuisine restaurant in the United States Forces Korea. A total of 351 questionnaires were analyzed by factor analysis, analysis of variance (ANOVA), and regression analysis by means of SPSS 15.0. As a result, it was found that comprehension of menu and price were the most necessary pieces of information for customers encountering menu labels, and sensory type of descriptive menu labels was the most preferred. In addition, differences in the purchase intentions of customers in response to different types of descriptive menu labels suggests that there were more statistically significant differences in the perception of purchase intention among descriptive labels as compared to usual menu labels.

The purpose of this paper is to (1) evaluate a proposed conceptual model based on integrated Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) and Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR); (2) compare the differences between Vietnam and South Korea regarding the effects of consumer perception of CSR activities and technology acceptance on intention to adopt mobile banking. Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) was conducted to analyze the data collected from the field survey questionnaires administered to a convenience sample of Vietnamese and Korean banking customers. The results showed that there is a difference between South Korea and Vietnam with regard to intention to use mobile banking services. While the effects of social responsibility and environmental responsibility on trust, trust on perceived usefulness, perceived risk on intention to use, perceived usefulness on intention to use were significant in the context of Vietnam but those effects were not significant in South Korea. Therefore, this study has attempted to fill this gap by empirically examining some of the important factors influencing the adoption of m-banking from the Vietnamese and Korean customers' perspectives. Finally, practical and theoretical implications for both banks and researchers in the m- banking context are also discussed in the concluding section.

The purpose of this study was to investigate three different perceptions based on major 23 part planning attributes. These party planning attributes were categorized using exploratory factor analysis. Three groups of respondents were identified based on the sample data; the first group is a group of people experienced parties before, the second group is a group of people intended to attend parties in near future, and the third group is a group of people who want to be a party planner. Respondents participated in this study express their own perceptions on party-planning attributes. The study shows that the perceptions of respondents were significantly different from each other. Particularly, prospective party planners emphasize on artistic attributes, such as harmony between dishes and foods or between the party concept and foods. However, party attendees more importantly considered other attributes, including the event suitable to the party type, places held a party. The research suggests that understanding party attendees' perception will provide useful information to develop party events that can reflect customers' desires.

본 연구는 소비자(외부고객) 관점에서 ESG 경영과 ESG 성과를 살펴 왔던 기존 연구들과 달리 조직 구성원인 내부고객의 관점에서 ESG에 대한 태도와 ESG 성과인식 간의 관계를 살펴보는데 목적이 있다. 이를 위해 ESG영역별 중요도에 대한 내부 구성원의 인식이 조직의 ESG 경영 필요성과 성과 인식에 미치는 영향관계를 세 가지 연구질문으로 정리하고 구조방정식 모델을 이용해 영향관계를 살펴보았다. 연구결과 내부고객은 E(환경)영역, G(지배구조)영역을 중요하게 인식하면 조직의 ESG 경영 필요성을 높게 인식하였지만 S(사회) 영역에서는 ESG 경영 필요성과의 유의적 관계를 나타내지 않았다(연구질문 1). 또한 ESG 영역별 중요도 인식과 조직의 ESG 경영 필요성간 관계는 내부고객의 ESG에 대한 관심이나 지식정도, 연령 등에 따라 차이가 거의 없는 것으로 나타났다(연구질문 2). 끝으로 조직의 ESG 경영 필요성을 높게 인식하는 내부고객은 조직의 ESG 성과 수준에 대해서도 긍정적으로 인식하는 것으로 나타났다(연구질문 3).

This study investigates the effect of perceived risk on attitude toward mobile Social Network Services (SNSs). First, we understand that perceived risk of SNSs is a multidimensional concept, and we study the relationship between attitude and perceived risk such as social risk, performance risk, and privacy risk in SNS environments. Subsequently, the relationships between these multidimensional concepts of perceived risk and attitude are investigated. The result indicates that social, performance, and privacy risk have negative effects on attitude. In addition, the moderated effect of individual characteristic variables such as hedonic value and self-construal are confirmed as mitigating factors that alleviate the negative impact of perceived risk. The Findings show that customers who perceive SNSs to be risky are more likely to have a negative attitude toward SNSs. However, the negative impact of perceived risk on their attitude toward SNSs is alleviated in customers with high hedonic value. Similarly, the negative impact of perceived risk on their attitude toward SNS is weaker with customers in interdependent self-construal. This paper presents effective segmentation variables, such as consumer's motivation (hedonic value) and psychological variable (self-construal), which mitigate the risk perception of customers. Therefore, it provides practical guidelines for the marketing managers in terms of who to target and what kind of strategies to implement in terms of these segmentation variables to approach consumers more efficiently.
