  • 기존 영화 산업에서 구전의 크기는 매출에 영향을 주지만 방향성은 영향을 주지 못하는 것으로 연구되었다(Liu 2006). 하지만, 이러한 분석 방법을 국내 영화 데이터에 동일하게 적용시켜 본 결과, 구전의 방향성도 영화의 매출에 영향을 주는 것으로 밝혀졌다. 이는 아시아 지역의 소비자들에게서 나타나는 독립적 자아관점과 북미 지역의 소비자들에게서 나타나는 상호의존적 자아관점의 차이로 인해 나타난 결과로 보인다. 즉, 국내 소비자의 경우는 영화를 선택/관람함에 있어 타인의 평가가 영향력을 주기 때문에 구전의 방향성도 유의한 양(+)의 값을 가진다. 기존의 연구에서는 구전의 크기가 일방적으로 매출에 영향을 미친다는 가정을 통해 영화 산업의 구전효과를 분석했으나, 이는 발생된 매출이 구전의 크기에 미치는 영향을 간과한 것이다. 따라서 매출이 구전에 미치는 효과까지 고려하여 연립방정식(Simultaneous Equation)을 통해 구전의 크기와 매출 간 상호 관계를 추정한 결과, 구전의 방향성은 위의 분석과 동일하게 영화 개봉 후 지속적으로 매출에 양(+)의 영향력을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 하지만, 구전의 크기는 매출의 원인이 되는 것이 아니라, 오히려 매출이 증가하여 구전의 크기가 증가하는 것이라는 결과를 보여주었다. 즉, 개봉 후 1주차에는 소비자들이 영화를 선택할 때 구전의 크기와 방향성이 동시에 고려되지만, 2주차 이후로는 구전의 크기는 매출에 영향을 미치는 변수가 아니라, 매출의 증가에 따른 결과라는 사실이 밝혀졌다.

  • 목적 자아일치성(self-congruity)은 "비실용 대상 포지셔닝(Non-utilitarian destination positioning)" 이론에 근거한 것으로,소비자들이 의사결정을 하거나 행동을 할 때 대상(제품, 서비스 등)과 자신의 가치를 일치시키려는 성향을 의미한다. 반면, 기능일치성(functional congruity)은 대상(장소, 제품, 서비스)의 실용적 가치에 자신의 의사결정이나 행동을 일치시키려는 성향을 의미한다. 최근 모바일 기반의 소셜네트워크서비스를 통해 소비자들이 제품이나 서비스에 대한 개인적 경험을 언제 어디서나 공유하게 되면서 온라인 구전을 통한 커뮤니케이션 기회가 많아지고 활발해지고 있다. 한편, 자기해석(self-construal)은 마케팅 및 현대 심리학에서 그동안 많이 다루어져 온 주제이다. 본 연구는 자아일치성 및 기능일치성과 중국 관광객의 긍정적인 온라인 구전 간의 관계와 자기해석의 조절효과를 검증하는 것을 연구 목적으로 한다. 설계/방법론/접근 연구가설을 검증하기 위해 본 연구에서는 32개 문항으로 구성된 설문지를 개발하였고, 모든 항목은 리커트 5점 척도를 사용하였다. 중국 설문조사 전문 웹사이트인 sojump.com에서 한국을 방문한적이 있는 사용자들을 대상으로 설문조사를 실시하였고, 자료분석을 위해 SPSS 20.0과 AMOS 18.0을 사용하였고, 구조방정식과 회귀분석을 이용하여 연구가설을 검증하였다. 전반적인 모형의 적합도, 신뢰도, 타당성 등을 검증하기 위해 확인요인분석을 실시하였고, 동일방법편의(common method bias) 여부도 함께 진단하였다. 결과 연구결과 자아일치성과 기능일치성은 온라인 구전에 긍정적인 효과를 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 그리고 자아일치성이 온라인 구전에 미치는 효과는 독립적인 자기해석 성향이 있는 중국 관광객이 의존적인 자기해석 성향이 있는 중국 관광객보다 더 강하다는 것을 알 수 있었다. 반면, 기능일치성이 온라인 구전에 미치는 효과는 의존적인 자기해석 성향이 있는 중국 관광객이 독립적인 자기해석 성향이 있는 중국 관광객보다 더 강하다는 것을 알 수 있었다.

  • The interplay between hedonic and utilitarian attributes has assumed special significance in recent years; it has been proposed that consumption offerings should be viewed as experiences that stimulate both cognitions and feelings rather than as mere products or services. This research builds on previous work on hedonic versus utilitarian benefits, regulatory focus theory, customer satisfaction to address two question: (1) Is the shopping goal at the point of purchase different from the shopping value? and (2) Is the customer loyalty after the use different from the shopping value and shopping goal? We surveyed 345 peoples those who have bought the electronic-goods within 6 months. This research dealt with the shopping value which is consisted of 2 types, hedonic and utilitarian. Those who pursue the hedonic shopping value may prefer the pleasure of purchasing experience to the product itself. They tend to prefer atmosphere, arousal of the shopping experience. Consistent with previous research, we use the term "hedonic" to refer to their aesthetic, experiential and enjoyment-related value. On the contrary, Those who pursue the utilitarian shopping value may prefer the reasonable buying. It may be more functional. Consistent with previous research, we use the term "utilitarian" to refer to the functional, instrumental, and practical value of consumption offerings. Holbrook(1999) notes that consumer value is an experience that results from the consumption of such benefits. In the context of cell phones for example, the phone's battery life and sound volume are utilitarian benefits, whereas aesthetic appeal from its shape and color are hedonic benefits. Likewise, in the case of a car, fuel economics and safety are utilitarian benefits whereas the sunroof and the luxurious interior are hedonic benefits. The shopping goals are consisted of the promotion focus goal and the prevention focus goal, based on the self-regulatory focus theory. The promotion focus is characterized into focusing ideal self because they are oriented to wishes and vision. The promotion focused individuals are tend to be more risk taking. They are more sensitive to hope and achievement. On the contrary, the prevention focused individuals are characterized into focusing the responsibilities because they are oriented to safety. The prevention focused individuals are tend to be more risk avoiding. We wanted to test the relation among the shopping value, shopping goal and customer loyalty. Customers show the positive or negative feelings comparing with the expectation level which customers have at the point of the purchase. If the result were bigger than the expectation, customers may feel positive feeling such as delight or satisfaction and they would want to share their feelings with other people. And they want to buy those products again in the future time. There is converging evidence that the types of goals consumers expect to be fulfilled by the utilitarian dimension of a product are different from those they seek from the hedonic dimension (Chernev 2004). Specifically, whereas consumers expect the fulfillment of product prevention goals on the utilitarian dimension, they expect the fulfillment of promotion goals on the hedonic dimension (Chernev 2004; Chitturi, Raghunathan, and Majahan 2007; Higgins 1997, 2001) According to the regulatory focus theory, prevention goals are those that ought to be met. Fulfillment of prevention goals in the context of product consumption eliminates or significantly reduces the probability of a painful experience, thus making consumers experience emotions that result from fulfillment of prevention goals such as confidence and securities. On the contrary, fulfillment of promotion goals are those that a person aspires to meet, such as "looking cool" or "being sophisticated." Fulfillment of promotion goals in the context of product consumption significantly increases the probability of a pleasurable experience, thus enabling consumers to experience emotions that result from the fulfillment of promotion goals. The proposed conceptual framework captures that the relationships among hedonic versus utilitarian shopping values and promotion versus prevention shopping goals respectively. An analysis of the consequence of the fulfillment and frustration of utilitarian and hedonic value is theoretically worthwhile. It is also substantively relevant because it helps predict post-consumption behavior such as the promotion versus prevention shopping goals orientation. Because our primary goal is to understand how the post consumption feelings influence the variable customer loyalty: word of mouth (Jacoby and Chestnut 1978). This research result is that the utilitarian shopping value gives the positive influence to both of the promotion and prevention goal. However the influence to the prevention goal is stronger. On the contrary, hedonic shopping value gives influence to the promotion focus goal only. Additionally, both of the promotion and prevention goal show the positive relation with customer loyalty. However, the positive relation with promotion goal and customer loyalty is much stronger. The promotion focus goal gives the influence to the customer loyalty. On the contrary, the prevention focus goal relates at the low level of relation with customer loyalty than that of the promotion goal. It could be explained that it is apt to get framed the compliment of people into 'gain-non gain' situation. As the result, for those who have the promotion focus are motivated to deliver their own feeling to other people eagerly. Conversely the prevention focused individual are more sensitive to the 'loss-non loss' situation. The research result is consistent with pre-existent researches. There is a conceptual parallel between necessities-needs-utilitarian benefits and luxuries-wants-hedonic benefits (Chernev 2004; Chitturi, Raghunathan and Majaha 2007; Higginns 1997; Kivetz and Simonson 2002b). In addition, Maslow's hierarchy of needs and the precedence principle contends luxuries-wants-hedonic benefits higher than necessities-needs-utilitarian benefits. Chitturi, Raghunathan and Majaha (2007) show that consumers are focused more on the utilitarian benefits than on the hedonic benefits of a product until their minimum expectation of fulfilling prevention goals are met. Furthermore, a utilitarian benefit is a promise of a certain level of functionality by the manufacturer or the retailer. When the promise is not fulfilled, customers blame the retailer and/or the manufacturer. When negative feelings are attributable to an entity, customers feel angry. However in the case of hedonic benefit, the customer, not the manufacturer, determines at the time of purchase whether the product is stylish and attractive. Under such circumstances, customers are more likely to blame themselves than the manufacturer if their friends do not find the product stylish and attractive. Therefore, not meeting minimum utilitarian expectations of functionality generates a much more intense negative feelings, such as anger than a less intense feeling such as disappointment or dissatisfactions. The additional multi group analysis of this research shows the same result. Those who are unsatisfactory customers who have the prevention focused goal shows higher relation with WOM, comparing with satisfactory customers. The research findings in this article could have significant implication for the personal selling fields to increase the effectiveness and the efficiency of the sales such that they can develop the sales presentation strategy for the customers. For those who are the hedonic customers may be apt to show more interest to the promotion goal. Therefore it may work to strengthen the design, style or new technology of the products to the hedonic customers. On the contrary for the utilitarian customers, it may work to strengthen the price competitiveness. On the basis of the result from our studies, we demonstrated a correspondence among hedonic versus utilitarian and promotion versus prevention goal, WOM. Similarly, we also found evidence of the moderator effects of satisfaction after use, between the prevention goal and WOM. Even though the prevention goal has the low level of relation to WOM, those who are not satisfied show higher relation to WOM. The relation between the prevention goal and WOM is significantly different according to the satisfaction versus unsatisfaction. In addition, improving the promotion emotions of cheerfulness and excitement and the prevention emotion of confidence and security will further improve customer loyalty. A related potential further research could be to examine whether hedonic versus utilitarian, promotion versus prevention goals improve customer loyalty for services as well. Under the budget and time constraints, designers and managers are often compelling to choose among various attributes. If there is no budget or time constraints, perhaps the best solution is to maximize both hedonic and utilitarian dimension of benefits. However, they have to make trad-off process between various attributes. For the designers and managers have to keep in mind that without hedonic benefit satisfaction of the product it may hard to lead the customers to the customer loyalty.
