The aim of this study is to delve deeper into the online brand community study. This study tests (a) the effects of online brand community on its outcomes, (b) the impact of value creation practice construct as a whole, (c) the effects of value creating practice construct on the two types of loyalty, loyalty toward the brand and the community. Participants of this study (N=353) are members of four types of online brand communities (e.g., business-to-consumer virtual product support community, firm-hosted online community, user-generated online community, peer-to-peer problem-solving community, and social media based brand community). Data were collected online using Amazon Mechanical Turk from April 10, 2016 to May 10, 2016. The data were analyzed through structural equations modeling using AMOS 20. The three community markers (e.g., consciousness of kind, rituals and traditions, and moral responsibility) and the four value creation practices (e.g., social networking, impression management, community engagement, and brand use) are proved to be significant indicators of online brand community and value creation practice constructs, respectively. Test results showed that strong and effective online brand communities generate value creation practices, and value creation practices enhance brand loyalty. The mediating effects of community loyalty between value creation practices and brand loyalty were revealed.

The main goal of this study is to propose a model of simplicity and interactivity effect on usability in the blog services. As web-based applications become increasingly complicated, the need for simplicity in user interface design has grown for better usability. Also, interactivity has been known to influence on usability. Previous studies argued that usability is a key factor for system success. Usability is concerned with attributes of an application that makes it understandable, learnable, easy to use, and attractive. For the complicated technology, perceived control, related to direct manipulation of an object, is important. In this regard, we posit that simplicity, interactivity, and perceived control makes important antecedents to usability. Finally, we tested that the effect of usability on user s loyalty with the blog services along with trust and satisfaction. Future studies will empirically examine the proposed model, emphasizing the importance of simplicity and interactivity for the user interface design.

본 연구는 가상공간의 아바타 캐릭터에 대한 사용자인식에 관한 연구이다. 연구수행에 있어서 우선 아바타에 대한 호감 도를 살펴보고 그에 따른 아바타에 대한 인식을 검증하였다. 아바타 인식은 자기인식척도를 응용하고 모리스 와그너(Maurice Wagner)가 표현한 소속감, 가치관, 자신감등의 건전한 자기인식 3요소에 동일시를 추가하여 요인별로 살펴보았다. 분석결과는 성별과 연령에 대해서는 반응평균간의 유의미한 차이가 거의 나지 않았고 성별에 따라 아바타의 호감도 그리고 연령에 따라 가치관에 차이가 유의미하게 나타났다. 아바타의 인식에 대한 각각의 측정개념들간에는 높은 상관관계를 보였으며 그 중에서 소속감과 호감도 사이의 상관관계가 가장 높게 산출되었다. 회귀분석에서도 아바타에 대한 호감 도에서 소속감이 가장 많은 영향을 받고 있었으므로 가상공간의 아바타에 대한 인식은 사용자의 호감도가 높음에 따라 아바타에 대한 자기인식이 높은 것으로 나타났다. 따라서 사용자들은 자기의 아바타를 하나의 시각적인 형상으로 인식하는 것이 아니라 자기를 동일시 할 정도의 몰입현상으로 자기개념을 형성하고 있다는 연구결과가 도출되었다.

The purpose of this research is to identify if psychological temptation, site quality and sense of community influence user's flow and addiction and if causalities among flow, addiction, customer satisfaction and customer loyalty are different between Korean and Japanese online games. To perform our research, we use MCSF(Multi-group Confirmatory Factor Analysis) and MSEM(Multi-group Structural Equation Model). The empirical results of SEM(Structural Equation Model) including high-order factor analysis indicate that all of paths in our model are the same for both countries. Therefore, site quality and sense of community have impacts on the flow, while on the other hand, psychological temptation has impacts on the addiction. Customer satisfaction and loyalty are positively related not with the addiction but with the flow. In addition, customer loyalty is significantly influenced by the flow and the customer satisfaction. In Conclusion, the empirical results of MSEM(Multi-group Structural Equation Model) indicate sense of community to flow, flow to loyalty and customer satisfaction to loyalty are different between Korea and Japan. This indicates that companies to penetrate into Japa online game industry should have a concern with Japanese Social and Cultural features and to develop strategies which correspond with Japanese culture.
