온라인 리뷰는 많은 사람이 생성하고 이를 수용하는 일상화된 구전이 되었다. 온라인 리뷰를 남기는 행위는 소비자가 스스로 해야 하는 일이다. 소비자의 온라인 리뷰 포스팅은 강제성이 없으며, 온전히 소비자의 자발적 의지에 달려 있다. 이러한 맥락에서 본 연구의 목적은 리뷰어들이 왜 리뷰를 남기고, 어떠한 형태의 리뷰를 생산하는지 등의 온라인 리뷰 포스팅 동기와 행동 과정을 기술하는 데 있다. 이를 위해 본 연구는 리뷰 포스팅 경험이 있는 소비자 18명을 대상으로 심층 인터뷰를 진행하였다. 수집한 인터뷰 자료는 근거이론방법을 활용하여 분석되었으며, 코드 분석결과를 토대로 본 연구는 리뷰 포스팅의 동기요인(상호호혜성, 물질적 보상), 리뷰 브라우징 결정요인(리뷰내용에 대한 신뢰, 리뷰형식에 대한 선호), 그리고 그림자노동(스스로 해야 하는 일, 자발적 데이터 생산, 소비자의 몫)을 제안하였다. 더불어 이들 간의 다이내믹스를 제안하여 리뷰어의 리뷰 생성과 소비의 순환과정을 이론화하였다. 본 연구의 시도와 결과는 온라인 리뷰의 효과성에 집중되었던 기존 연구의 한계를 극복하는 데 학술적 기여가 가능하고, 온라인 리뷰 관리의 필요성이 커지고 있는 플랫폼 기업에 실무적 시사점을 제공한다는 점에서 의의가 있다.

Prior to making choices among online products and services, consumers often search online product reviews written by other consumers. Online product reviews have great influences on consumer behavior because they are believed to be more reliable than information provided by sellers. However, ever-increasing lists of product reviews make it difficult for consumers to find the right information efficiently. A customized search mechanism is a method to provide personalized information which fits the user's requirements. This study examines effects of a customized search mechanism and perceived similarity between consumers and product reviewers on consumer behaviors. More specifically, we address the following research questions: (1) Can a customized search mechanism increase perceived similarity between product review authors and readers? (2) Are product reviews perceived as more credible when product reviews were written by the authors perceived similar to them? (3) Does credibility of product reviews have a positive impact on acceptance of product reviews? (4) Does acceptance of product reviews have an influence on purchase intention of the readers? To examine these research questions, a lab experiment with a between-subject factor (whether a customized search mechanism is provided or not) design was employed. In order to enhance mundane realism and increase generalizability of the findings, the experiment sites were built based on a real online store, cherrya.com (http://www.cherrya.com/). Sixty participants were drawn from a pool that consisted of undergraduate and graduate students in a large university. Participation was voluntary; all the participants received 5,000 won to encourage their motivation and involvement in the experiment tasks. In addition, 15 participants, who selected by a random draw, received 30,000 won to actually purchase the product that he or she decided to buy during the experiment. Of the 60 participants, 25 were male and 35 were female. In examining the homogeneity between the two groups, the results of t-tests revealed no significant difference in gender, age, academic years, online shopping experience, and Internet usage. To test our research model, we completed tests of the measurement models and the structural models using PLS Graph version 3.00. The analysis confirmed individual item reliability, internal consistency, and discriminant validity of measurements. The results show that participants feel more credible when product reviews were written by the authors perceived similar to them, credibility of product reviews have a positive impact on acceptance of product reviews, and acceptance of product reviews have an influence on purchase intention of the readers. However, a customized search mechanism did not increase perceived similarity between product review authors and readers. The results imply that there is an urgent need to develop a better customized search tool in order to increase perceived similarity between product review authors and readers.

We conducted a systematic review to summarize providers' attitudes toward pay-for-performance (P4P), focusing on their general attitudes, the effects of P4P, their favorable design and implementation methods, and concerns. An electronic search was performed in PubMed and Scopus using selected keywords including P4P. Two reviewers screened target articles using titles and abstract review and then read the full version of the screened articles for the final selections. In addition, one reference of screened articles and one unpublished report were also included. Therefore, 14 articles were included in this study. Healthcare providers' attitudes on P4P were summarized in two ways. First, we gathered their general attitudes and opinions regarding the effects of P4P. Second, we rearranged their opinions regarding desirable P4P design and implementation methods, as well as their concerns. This study showed the possibility that some healthcare providers still have a low level of awareness about P4P and might prefer voluntary participation in P4P. In addition, they felt that adequate quality indicators and additional support for implementation of P4P would be needed. Most healthcare providers also had serious concerns that P4P would induce unintended consequences. In order to conduct successful implementation of P4P, purchaser should make more efforts such as increasing providers' level of awareness about P4P, providing technical and educational support, reducing their burden, developing a cooperative relationship with providers, developing more accurate quality measures, and minimizing the unintended consequences.
