As the tendency of the society is centralized into consumers and services, patients are getting to ask better medical services. The consumers influenced from various social surroundings became to have some expectation of nursing service. Compared with their expectation, the quality of the services which they virtually get may be recognized and evaluated. So it is necessary to know exactly what the consumers want in nursing services. The purpose of this study is to examine the determinants which can evaluate the quality of nursing services by researching into consumers' expectation and perception of the nursing services depending on the consumer-oriented attributions on the basis of the model of SERVQUAL. 1,144 of outpatients were selected as the subjects for this research. They used to continuously visit the same hospital after being hospitalized and nursed in 9 hospitals randomly selected among the second-level medical organizations in Seoul from January to February, 2001. The collected data are analyzed into the Descriptive Statistics, t-test, GLM and Multiple Regression through the SAS program. Delphi was used for the research tool and the results of the research are as follows; the determinants in evaluating the quality of nursing services consist of 5 categories such as Tangibility, Reliability, Responsiveness, Assurance, Empathy. The values of Cronbach' $\alpha$ appeared to be 0.96 in the expectation of nursing services, 0.94 in the perception of nursing services and 0.96 in the importance of nursing services. The determinants in the expectation of nursing services were ranged in the order of Assurance, Empathy, Reliability, Responsiveness and Tangibility. And those in the perception of nursing services were in the order of Assurance, Empathy, Reliability, Tangibility and Responsiveness. Those in the importance of nursing service were in the order of Empathy, Assurance, Reliability, Tangibility and Responsiveness. Finally, those in the quality of nursing service were in the order of Tangibility, Responsiveness, Empathy, Reliability and Assurance. Each expectation of nursing services appeared different depending on the subjects' age, gender, clinical department and reason for hospitalization. The hypothesis examined in this research shows that the group having higher personal needs shows meaningful differences in the expectation of nursing services, and the subjects who have had external communication show higher perception of nursing service than uncommunicative ones. After all, we can see that the statistical differences in the perception of nursing services depend on whether the subjects have external communications or not. The determinants in the expectation of nursing services can explain the quality of nursing service up to 14.96%. The statistically meaningful determinants in the expectation could be arranged in the order of Reliability, Assurance and Tangibility. And the more expectation brings about the lower evaluation of the quality of nursing services. The determinants in the perception of nursing service can explain the quality of nursing services up to 29.85%. The statistically meaningful determinants in the perception could be arranged in the order of Responsiveness, Reliability, Tangibility, Empathy, and Assurance. And the more perception brings about the higher evaluation of the quality of nursing services. According to the result of the above research, I would like to propose as follows. As long as this research is oriented to get knowledge of the consumer-oriented nursing services, it should be continued to draw the other elements determining the quality of the nursing services. Furthermore, this research is based upon the Parasuraman, A., et al.'s SERVQUAL Model(1991), which deals only expectation, perception and quality of consumer-oriented nursing services, so it will be necessary to inspect and verify it through the other models containing the offerers of nursing services in the future. On the other hand, as this research evaluates the actual quality of nursing services based on the expectation and perception of nursing services, it can be utilized as fundamental data to develop the marketing strategies and to estimate the qualities as well. I hope this research will be periodically estimated to be the useful data to develop the marketing strategies in the nursing service area.

사용자 중심 디자인(User-Centered Design)은 주어진 환경(Context)에서의 사용자 행동(Activity)을 모델링 하여 사용자가 기능적, 논리적으로 주어진 작업(Task)을 수행해 낼 수 있는 상품의 디자인을 가능케 하는데 크게 기여한 바 있다. 그러나 사용자 중심 디자인은 사용하기 편하고 유용한 측면을 디자인하는 데는 큰 기여를 했지만, 소비자의 감성 및 문화를 고려한 상품 디자인을 개발하는 측면에서는 아직 성공적인 사례를 제시하지 못했다는 비난을 받고 있는 것도 사실이다. 이는 사용자 중심 디자인이 사용자의 요구사항 (기능적인 요구 사항)에만 치중하는 접근법이기 때문으로, 사용 상황이 중요한 공공 시설물이나 기업 소프트웨어의 개발에는 적합하지만 소비자를 직접 대상으로 하는 디지털 컨텐트 및 디지털 가전의 디자인을 위해서는 부족한 면이 없지 않아 있는 것으로 발표되고 있다. Jordan은 이러한 문제법의 해결안을 제시하면서, 사용자 요구사항의 다차원적(개인적, 사회적, 인지적, 물리적) 접근법을 제안하였고, 그것을 Pleasure-based Approach라고 명명하였다. Jordan도 사용자 조사의 중요성은 부각하였지만, 사용자 조사의 결과를 상품 개발에 접목시키기 위한 방안은 제시하고 있지 못했다. 본 논문에서는 Kano의 상품 속성 모형을 도입하여 사용자 조사 방법과 상품 요소 도출과의 연결고리를 발견하고자 하였다. Kano 모델에서는 상품 요소를 크게 기본요소, 퍼포먼스요소, 엑셀런트 요소로 나누어 설명하고 있다. 퍼포먼스 요소는 설문조사와 같이 직접적으로 고객으로부터 얻을 수 있는 요소로 설명하고 있다. 그러나 기본요소 및 엑셀런트 요소는 직접적인 사용자 조사를 통해서 얻을 수 있는 요소가 아니라 고 주장하고 있고, 이런 요소들을 도출하기 위하여 경쟁상품분석, 참여적 소비자 조사 등과 같은 방법이 도입되어야 한다. 고 말하고 있다. 이에 본 연구에서는 '13-18 청소년용 온라인 커뮤니티 컨텐트 개발 프로젝트' 를 중심으로 엑셀런트 요소 및 퍼포먼스 요소를 도출하기 위한 참석 관찰의 프레임 워크를 제시하고, 그 결과를 기능적 요소, 감성적 요소로 정리하여 상품개발에 활용하도록 하였다. 본 연구의 의의는 상품개발에 사용자 조사의 필요성 및 활용도를 실질적인 프로젝트를 통하여 시도해 보았다는 데 있다고 할 수 있겠다.

손실회피에 대한 연구는 많은 진보가 있었다. 특히 Brenner et al. (2007)은 소유손실회피 (possession loss aversion: PLA)와 유인가손실회피 (valence loss aversion: VLA)의 상황을 구분하면서 현금과 현물 (돈, 부동산)에 대한 손실 (PLA)과 잠재적으로 획득할 가치 (해외연수, 쿠폰)에 대한 손실 (VLA)에 대한 사람들의 반응이 어떻게 다른지 관찰하였다. 그러나 일상생활에서 소유와 유인가의 득과 실이 명확하게 구분되는 경우는 드물고, 대부분 소유와 유인가의 득과 실 사이에 일장일단이 있어, 결국 사람들이 평소 가지고 있는 사고방식이나 주의의 초점이 의사결정에 반영되는 경우가 더 많다. 따라서 본 연구는 사람들이 평소 어디에 주의를 기울이는지에 따라 손실회피의 반응이 어떻게 달라지는지 살펴보고자 했다. 구체적으로 자기초점을 촉진초점 또는 예방초점으로 점화한 후, 이직결정상황에서 소유와 유인가의 득실이 경쟁 (연봉증가 해외연수기간감소: P+V-, 연봉감소 해외연수기간 증가: P-V+)할 때, 이직할 것인지 여부를 결정하는 과제를 수행하였다. 결과적으로 촉진초점의 경우 소유인지 유인가 인지에 관계없이 잠정적으로 얻게 될 이익 (+)에 주의를 기울인 결과 이직하겠다는 응답이 증가한 반면, 예방초점의 경우 잠정적으로 감수할 손실 (-)에 주의를 기울인 결과 현재 회사에 머물겠다는 응답이 증가하였다. 본 연구의 결과는 소비자 및 광고심리와 마케팅분야에 폭넓은 시사점을 가진다.

Purpose - Eggs are nutritionally complete and one of the most popular natural foods. Moreover, the poultry industry is one of the important food industries. However, early industrialization of the poultry industry on its own did not lead to further development compared to other livestock industries. In this study, we investigate what factors influence consumers' behavior and how consumers' understanding of retail business affects their propensity to consume. This study is different from other studies as it analyzes how the brand names of manufacturers and distribution companies affect the purchasing characteristics or actual purchase behavior of consumers in order to suggest how these manufacturers and distribution companies can increase their competitiveness. Research design, data, methodology - This study conducted a survey of 250 randomly selected egg purchasers in discount stores from January to April 2013. Consumers' purchase tendencies were calculated through frequency analysis. This result was then utilized using cluster analysis to draw a conclusion about which purchase tendency influenced consumers buying three different brands of eggs or whether this tendency really affected consumers. As a result, the outcomes of Hypotheses 2 and 3 were not clear so we drew a conclusion with our analysis of Hypothesis 1. Results - While the outcomes of Hypotheses 2 and 3 did not clearly indicate whether purchasing tendencies affected consumers when buying eggs, our analysis of Hypothesis 1 indicated that consumers were affected by the quality of the eggs rather than exterior factors such as the brand name. Thus, we concluded that it is important to promote the excellence of the quality of the eggs. Usually firms buy eggs from farms and repackage them in order to sell them. In this sense, if consumers were aware of this egg production process, and eggs were fairly distributed to retailers, large retail PB businesses would also be able to enhance their competitiveness. Conclusions - The brand, packaging, retail outlet, and other external features influenced the purchase of eggs to a certain degree, while shelf life, grade of the eggs, cleanliness, and other intrinsic characteristics had more influence. In particular, shelf life was the most important factor influencing purchase. Consumers were influenced not only by intrinsic characteristics of the eggs but also by large-scale producers' brands. Consumers relied upon the brand despite reduced competition because they found it difficult to identify shelf life and/or cleanliness. Small businesses and/or large-scale retailers can remain competitive by maintaining the freshness and cleanliness of the eggs. Further studies need to investigate areas in which consumers' cognition of the product is poor and/or the purchase inclination with regard to less developed industries such as eggs. In this study, the greatest problem was that consumers did not consume in accordance with the current situation as consumers have preferred fresh and clean eggs for a long time compared to purchase decisions based on external brands and/or packaging.

핸드크림이 국내 및 수입브랜드에 따른 소비자 구매인식과 피부 유, 수분량에 미치는 영향에 대해 알아보기 위하여 수도권 지역의 여성 105명을 대상으로 핸드크림에 대한 사용현황과 구매현황, 인시에 대한 설문조사를 진행하였다. 이후 시장 조사를 토대로 핸드크림의 가격과 용량, 전 성분을 비교하였고, 고가와 저가, 수입 브랜드와 국내 브랜드로 나누어 17명의 임상실험 대상자를 선정하여 2주 동안 핸드크림 사용 전과 사용 후 수분과 유분, 수분 지속력을 측정하여 분석하였다. 그 결과 핸드크림이 가격과 브랜드가 품질에 미치는 영향이 크다고 생각하는 사람의 비율이 높았으며, 고가와 저가, 수입브랜드와 국내브랜드의 가격을 분석한 결과 1mg (g)당 가격이 최대 4배정도 차이가 나는 것으로 조사되었다. 전 성분을 비교한 결과 보습제인 글리세린과 피부 컨디셔닝제인 세테아릴알코올을 공통적으로 함유하고 있음을 알 수 있었다. 임상실험 결과 제품 그룹별 유, 수분량의 변화는 유의하게 확인되었으나, 제품을 고가와 저가, 수입브랜드에 따른 수분과 유분량의 차이는 통계적으로 유의하지 않은 결과를 확인하였으며, 수분 지속력 역시 통계적으로 유의하지 않은 결과를 나타냈다. 이와 같은 결과는 가격과 브랜드의 차이가 피부의 유, 수분 함량에 미치는 영향과의 상관관계가 없음을 알 수 있었다. 따라서 하루에도 여러번씩 사용하는 소비성이 뛰어난 제품임을 감암할 때 소비자의 니즈를 파악하여 핸드크림에 대한 제품 품질 향상에 기여할 수 있는 기초 자료가 될 수 있으리라 사료된다.

Purpose: In order to use a word as academic terminology, we must first take a look at the meaning of that word as it is commonly used and then consider whether or not the connotation of that word is suitable to be used as academic terminology. Presently, the word Pumjil(品質) is being used as academic terminology occupying an important position in the field of business administration in Korea and is usually translated into English as 'quality'. The same is true in Japan. However, as is the case with many Korean words, the meaning that the word implies has a tendency to change gradually over time. This tendency can account for the changes or additions to the meaning a word connotes. Methods: This dissertation aims to escape from such biased ideas and study the meaning of 'Pum-Jil品質' from the view of humanities and exegetics. Then the natural definition of the word as far as business administration is concerned can be considered. Results: 'Pum-Jil品質' has been used amid changes in modern times(historic texts in both Korea and China. In Korea particularly, the word was used in the royal court until comparatively modern times.), and now it is also widely used in the field of business administration. In this process of change, a notable point is that 'Pum-Jil品質', which was originally used to mean 'nature or character of a man', took on a new meaning, 'a certain quality of a thing or a good'. Conclusion: 'Pum-Jil品質' should require basic functional 'quality' of goods or services as a prerequisite. And the functional quality should meet consumers' needs, as the pledge (trust; 信賴) for quality is between suppliers and consumers. Without consumer's trust for goods, the relationship between suppliers and consumers cannot be maintained. So goods must exchange with trust, not expenses. In conclusion, we believe it is reasonable to understand 'Pum-Jil品質' based on the meaning of 'evidence or similar rating for pledge (trust)' from the view of humanities and exegetics. In conclusion, we believe it is reasonable to understand 'Pum-Jil品質' based on the meaning of 'evidence or similar rating for pledge (trust)' from the view of humanities and exegetics.

코로나19로 인한 이커머스 거래의 급증으로 해외에서는 Buy Now Pay Later(선구매 후결제, 이하 BNPL)가 밀레니얼 세대 사이에서 차세대 결제 수단으로 부상했다. 국내에서는 네이버 쇼핑과 쿠팡이 후불결제를 제공해 고객 락인(lock-in) 효과, 카드사 수수료 절감, 소매금융사업 진출 등을 도모한다. 그러나 소비자 관점에서 후불결제의 수용에 영향을 미치는 요인에 관한 국내 연구는 부족하다. 이에 20~30대 대상으로 실증연구를 진행한 결과, 후불결제 수용에 영향을 미치는 요인은 네이버쇼핑은 호환성>혁신저항>충동구매 성향, 쿠팡은 호환성> 상대적 이점>혁신저항>추가가치 순으로 나타났다. 한편 네이버쇼핑은 충동구매 성향이 수용의도에 정(+)의 영향을 미치므로 연체율 관리가 관건이며, 쿠팡은 충동구매 성향이 지각된 위험에 정(+)의 영향을 미치므로 연체료, 신용등급 하락 등 위험 요소를 충분히 전달하고 후불결제로 유도한다는 느낌을 소비자가 받지 않도록 해야 한다. 후불결제 수용을 높이려면 타깃 고객을 세분화하고 버티컬 커머스와 제휴하는 방안을 추천한다.

This study investigates the disposal of clothing and the purchasing behavior and usage of environmentally friendly clothing. After compiling data from 500 consumers who reside in Seoul, it was analyzed by ANOVA, t-test, Chi-square, and multiple regression analysis. The behavioral score for buying environmentally friendly clothing was lower than the average value of the three. The lowest value was for the purchase of used clothing, but the purchase of environmentally friendly clothing was also shown to have a low value. For the usage and disposal of clothing, unused clothing, which was mostly just left in dresser drawers, was the most preferable method. Also, exchange or resale via anInternet mall was shown to be lower than the other methods. The analysis between clothing purchase and usage as well as the disposal of clothing with socio-demographics, consumption tendencies, opinions of friends and groups, commercials and advertisements, and environmental perceptions points out differences among groups. There are statistically significant differences in the purchasing intentions of slow fashion according to socio-demographics. Female consumers between $20{\sim}25$ years of age were more likely to purchase slow fashion clothing. Consumers with a high consumption tendency who were highly influenced by commercials, friends, and groups were more likely to purchase slow fashion clothing. The influence of the average clothing expenditure on an environmentally friendly purchasing behavior and the influence of the age group on repairing and usagewas the most effective. All in all, contribution to an environmentally friendly perception was the most effective variable.

As a response to the recent increase in the Interest in environment friendly interior finishing materials, the purpose of this study is to compare the awareness of environment friendly interior finishing materials between interior designers and housewives, as representatives of two different consumer groups, and to examine how the preferences between them differ. The study participant group for this research consisted of 80 interior designers working in Gwangju, and 166 housewives who were residents of a number of apartments in Gwangju. Self administered questionnaires were provided to the participants and were then collected. Unpaired t-tests and $x^2$ tests were used to compare the prevalence of epidemiological factors and the variables that revealthe awareness and the preference between the two groups. While it was expected that both groups would source information using the internet, the housewives group showed a tendency to also seek advice from others in the selection of environment friendly interior finishing materials. Interior-designers considered the high price and the lack of diverse products as the most serious problems involved in selecting environment friendly interior finishing materials. Interior-designers chose design, color and long-term use, and the method of maintenance as standards by which to choose interior materials in general, while the housewives considered 'environment friendly' as the most important standard. Both groups however favored environment friendly materials. There was no difference between the two groups in terms of their belief in the need to trust a well known brand name and in the importance of a Green-label placed on interior finishing materials such as wallpaper, paint and laminate flooring.

In recent years, there has been increasing interest in the senior people in our aging society. This paper will give an account of the current cases of senior shift. The first section of this paper will examine a conceptual approach based on a literature review and analyze case studies of senior shifts by national fashion and beauty brands. It will be helpful for the 'New Senior' consumer group, which in emerging in an aging society. The research methods applied were a literature review and a case study, and a database search was conducted to determine the current situation of global brands. The results of the literature review showed that seniors can be classified into four types based on their physical aging condition and emotional tendency: Prime Senior, Smart Senior, Rational Senior, and Slump Senior. The first thing that needs to be said is that the Prime Senior type is found commonly in as a way to appoint a senior model in order to switch brand image. Cases of the Smart Senior type appeared only in the beauty field, which attempted multilateral approaches such as launching products exclusively for seniors and offering make-up services after improving the usability and functionality in response to senior consumers'needs. However, as no cases of senior shift were found for the Rational Senior and Slump Senior types in either the fashion or beauty field, future studies should explore the market approaches used in those categories.
