Growth in online channels has created fierce competition; consequently, retailers have to invest an increasing amount of effort into attracting consumers. In this study, eye-tracking technology examined consumers' visual behavior to gain an understanding of information searching behavior in exploring product information for fashion products. Product attribute information was classified into two image-based elements (model image information and detail image information) and two text-based elements (basic text information, detail text information), after which consumers' visual behavior for each information element was analyzed. Furthermore, whether involvement affects consumers' information search behavior was investigated. The results demonstrated that model image information attracted visual attention the quickest, while detail text information and model image information received the most visual attention. Additionally, high-involvement consumers tended to pay more attention to detailed information while low-involvement consumers tended to pay more attention to image-based and basic information. This study is expected to help broaden the understanding of consumer behavior and provide implications for establishing strategies on how to efficiently organize product information for online fashion stores.

The purpose of this study was first, to clarify the clothing benefits that Uzbek female college students seek through clothing products; and second, to determine whether there is a difference in clothing involvement and clothing purchasing behavior according to the type of clothing benefits. Data were collected from 290 female university students from Tashkent, Uzbekistan, and analyzed using factor analysis, K-means group classification analysis, ANOVA, Duncan test, χ²-test, and frequency analysis. Respondents were classified into four types according to their clothing benefits: individuality/economy-pursuit, comfort-pursuit, fashion/brand-pursuit, and indifference. Significant differences were identified in terms of clothing involvement, information sources, clothing evaluation criteria, clothing store attributes, clothing wearing conditions (including monthly clothing expenses), number of purchases per year, clothing purchase location, clothing preference style, and clothing dissatisfaction. The fashion/brand-pursuit and personality/economy-pursuit types were influenced more by fashion and symbolism of clothing involvement, information sources, clothing evaluation criteria, and clothing store attributes. The individuality/economy-pursuit type purchased more frequently, spent more monthly clothing expenses, and used the internet. Clothing store attributes were considered more important by female students than the other attributes. In these results, clothing benefits were identified as consumer characteristics of female Uzbek college students and market segmentation was determined. In addition, it is meaningful in providing basic data for efficient marketing activities and minimizing trials and errors in establishing local-friendly strategies for target customers in different cultures.

오늘날 시장에서는 제품 미학, 브랜딩 전략, 서비스 품질과 같은 감성적 요소들의 중요성이 점점 증대되고 있으며, 특히 패션제품의 경우 구매 시점에서의 감성적 요소들은 주로 인적 판매와 관련된다. 이처럼 패션 판매원의 역할이 중요해짐에 따라 판매원이 갖추어야 할 직무적합성에 대한 검토가 필요하다. 본 연구에서는 (1) 패션 판매원의 직무적합성을 구성하는 요인을 규명하고, (2) 인구통계 특성과 직업 통계 특성 및 의복관여, 유형혁신성, 지속적 정보탐색, 직무만족과 직무적합성의 관계를 알아보았다. 연구 결과에서 패션 판매원의 직무적합성은 제품지식, 직업의식, 현 직장 관여, 마케팅 협력자로서의 자질, 고객지향성, 자기관리의 6개 요인으로 규명되었다. 패션 판매원들의 전반적인 의복관여와 유행혁신성은 높게 나타났으며, 직무적합성 요인들 중에서는 마케팅 협력자로서의 자질과 제품지식 요인에 대한 점수가 상대적으로 낮은 편이었으므로 통합적 패션 마케팅을 구현하기 위해서는 섬유와 패션 관련 제품지식과 판매 정보의 전략적 활용을 포함한 판매원 교육이 필요함을 알 수 있다. 패션 판매원의 직무적합성은 의복관여, 유행혁신성, 지속적 정보탐색, 직무만족과 정적 상관관계를 보였다. 본 연구에서 직무적합성과 유의한 관계를 보인 척도들은 패션 유통 업체들의 판매원 관리에 직무적합성 검증을 위한 지표로 사용될 수 있을 것이다.

Prevalent usage of mobile devices among consumers has been well recognized and this is especially imperative among young adult consumers. The mobile phone became the gateway of their communication, media consumption, retail transaction, education, and (virtual) social life. However, there is little empirical research explaining the dynamics behind the psychological underpinning of young adult consumers, specifically Generation Y, to understand their usages and dependency on mobile phones. This study, therefore, aims to unveil antecedents and consequences of Gen Y consumers' mobile phone dependency from a media psychological perspective. We developed a conceptual model based on theory of self-monitoring (Snyder 1974, 1987), extended self-concept (Belk, 1988), and media dependency theory (Ball-Rokeach & Defluer, 1976). Four hundred ninety-eight students in the U.S. provided usable responses to our pencil-and-paper survey. Causal modeling analysis results demonstrated that both ability to modify one's behavior and sensitivity to cues for social appropriate behavior dimensions of the self-monitoring tendency positively predicted one's level of fashion involvement, which in turn positively predicted his/her mobile phone dependency. Individual's mobile phone dependency, fashion involvement and self-monitoring's ability dimension exhibited positive and direct impact on one's perception of the salience of mobile phone case product attributes. Based on the findings, we provided pragmatic and theoretical implications for the industry and academia.
