Focusing on the emerging influencer market of SNS (Social Network Service), This study attempts to clarify the priority of Influencer characteristics when the customer decided to purchase products through the promotion of influencers. Since the influencer marketing differs from the Online information source marketing, this study has an academic implication in that integrated the influence of the characteristics of the Online information sources and the characteristics of SNS contents. For this purpose, through the literature research on Information sources and Influencers, the characteristics of influencers were reconstructed and priorities were derived using the AHP (Analytic Hierarchy Process) technique. The upper layer of the AHP structure was set to expertise, trustworthiness, social attractiveness, and content attractiveness, and the lower layer structured the model with 13 subfactors. The results are summarized as follows. First, in the result of combining the importance of the $1^{st}$ and $2^{nd}$ classes, the detailed factors of expertise and trustworthiness, ranked from the top to six, are largely influenced in purchasing decisions in influencer marketing. Second, content attractiveness is the third rank in the $1^{st}$ layer. Influencer marketing shows that content is more important than social attractiveness. Besides, the $7^{th}$ to $9^{th}$ positions of the overall rankings accounted for visual information, storytelling, and external attractiveness, which are the details of content attractiveness, and it is confirmed that it is more effective for influencer marketing to emphasize content attractiveness than social attractiveness. Although the influencer marketing differs from the existing information marketing, this study has an academic implication in that integrated the influence of the characteristics of the source and the characteristics of the contents.

This study analyzed the degree of demand for genetically modified organisms(GMOs) to provide the basic information for consumers' reasonable purchase decision making and their right to know about GMOs. Based on the (Ed-there are no study results above) study results, the following suggestion were made. First, throughout the survey, it was found that those consumers who participated had a high level of perception on the harm of GMOs. Therefore, reliable organizations such as government agencies are required to present the results of safety tests and formulate plans related to the safety of GMOs. Second, the average score on consumers' level of consumer knowledge on GMOs was very low, being 1.68 out of a possible 8 points. Third, since women and housewives engaged in dietary habits and food had high demand for information on GMOs, it is necessary to provide women with information on GMOs. Fourth, since it is difficult to confirm the presence or absence of GMOs. in rapidly increasing demand for fast-food, it is necessary that consumers be provided with relevant information and make a reasonable judgement in purchasing food. Fifth, it is necessary to provide detailed regulations and measures for concrete contents and directions of information on GMOs. Sixth, it is necessary to provid information on GMOs from the commercial sources of information that are most preferred by consumers.

Given the rapid growth of social network services (SNS) such as Facebook and Cyworld, it is important to understand SNS users' decision-making processes such as purchasing and continuance intention. Especially, as a number of SNS providers such as Cyworld and Habbo Hotel recognize the sales of digital items as the main source of their profits, it is critical to in-depth understand SNS users' purchasing behaviors. In this regard, this study explores continued usage behaviors and purchase behaviors of digital items in an SNS environment using a longitudinal research method. This paper develops a theoretical model to deeply understand the key drivers of purchase behavior of digital items through constructs prescribed by two established research streams on information systems, namely continuance usage and habitual usage. Moreover, this study examines the effects of actual and ideal self-image congruity on SNS continuance intention and habit. The research model was tested by using survey data collected from 307 users who have experience with Cyworld. The analysis results show that SNS actual usage directly influence purchase behavior of digital items. SNS users' continuance intention and habit are key drivers to enhance the level of actual usage of the SNS. Both actual and ideal self-image congruity play a key role in enhancing continuance usage and habitual usage. The implication of research and discussions provides reference for SNS providers in marketing and IT strategy.

Purpose Along with the growth of smart phones and social networking service (SNS), social commerce continues to expand. Although online reviews have become an important source of the information that consumers use to make purchasing decisions, theoretical development and empirical testing in this area are still limited. Thus, there is a need to develop further understanding about the influence of electronic word-of-mouth (eWOM). Drawing upon the heuristic - systematic model (HSM) which is one of the dual-process theories, this study develops a research model that explains key factors influencing consumers' eWOM credibility. Furthermore, this study verifies that consumer's eWOM credibility is a key determinant of eWOM and purchase intentions. Design/methodology/approach The proposed model is empirically tested with 493 users who have experience in WeChat-based social commerce. The structural equation model (SEM) analysis is used to evaluate the research model and hypotheses. Findings The major findings are as follows. First, argument quality of eWOM (a systematic factor) has a positive effect on eWOM credibility. Second, source credibility and recommendation consistency of eWOM (heuristic factors) are positively associated with eWOM credibility. Finally, purchase and eWOM intentions greatly depend on eWOM credibility. These results confirm the effectiveness of HSM in explaining eWOM mechanisms in SNS-based social commerce. The details of findings and implications are presented.

본 연구는 대구지역에 거주하는 중ㆍ고등학생 639명을 대상으로 청소년의 소비자의식이 의복구매행동에 미치는 영향을 분석하였다. 연구의 결과를 요약해 보면 다음과 같다. (1) 소비자의식 유형은 권리의식, 소비자정보의식 브랜드지향의식, 책임의식의 4개 요인에 따라 실리지향, 상표지향, 소비자의식지향의 3가지 집단으로 분류되었다. 실리지향 집단은 소비자의 권리의식, 소비자정보, 책임의식은 보통 정도이나 브랜드지향의식은 다른 집단에 비하여 낮게 나타났으며 상표지향 집단은 권리, 소비자정보, 책임의식은 낮으나, 가격과 상표에 대해서는 관심이 높게 나타났고, 소비자의식지향 집단은 소비자의 권리의식이 강하고, 소비자정보를 많이 탐색하며, 가격과 상표를 중요시하지 않고, 책임의식도 높게 나타났다. (2) 남학생에 비하여 여학생들이 소비자정보의식과 브랜드지향의식, 책임의식이 높으며, 한달 용돈이 7만원 이상인 집단은 7만원 미만인 집단보다 권리의식은 낮고, 브랜드지향의식은 높게 나타났다. 아버지가 농림ㆍ 생산직에 종사하는 청소년들이 권리의식은 높게, 소비자정보의식은 낮게 나타났으며, 어머니가 전문ㆍ 행정ㆍ사무직에 종사하는 청소년들은 소비자정보의식이 조금 높게 나타났다. 월평균 가구 소득이 500만원 이상인 가정의 자녀는 다른 집단에 비해 브랜드지향의식이 조금 높게 나타났다. (3) 의복을 구입하는 주된 동기는 필요에 의해 구매하는 것으로 나타났으며, 과반수 정도가 계획구매를 하고 있으며, 주로 의류전문쇼핑몰을 이용하고, 의복에 대한 정보는 ´제품´, ´가족 친구의 조언´에서 주로 얻고 있었다. 의복 선택 시 중요한 요인은 디자인 가격, 어울림 순으로 나타났으며, 구매 후 불만으로 가격, 서비스, 바느질상태를 표시하였고, 실제로 불평행동을 하는 청소년은 42%로 친지나 친구에게 불만스러웠던 점에 대해 불평한 경우가 가장 많았다. (4) 의복구매행동현인의 요인분석에서 구매정보원은 ´중립적 정보원´, ´개인적 정보원´, ´상업적 정보원´, 구매선택은 ´조화´, ´유행´, ´관리성´, 불만원인은 ´외관´, ´품질´, ´서비스´의 3개 요인으로 나타났다. (5) 소비자의식형 집단은 개인적, 상업적 정보를 많이 활용하였으나 상표지향형 집단은 정보원을 중요시하지 않았다. 의복 선택요인으로는 소비자의식 집단은 조화와 관리성을 중시하나 상표지향집단과 실리지향집단을 관리성에 관심이 낮았다. 의복구매장소로 실리지향집단은 양품ㆍ보세점과 의류도매상가를, 상표지향 집단은 의류전문쇼핑몰이나 유명상표 대리점을, 소비자의식지향 집단은 의류전문쇼핑몰이나 상설할인매장을 주로 이용하였으며 소비자의식 집단은 사적, 또는 직접 구매 후 불평행동을 많이 취하고 실리지향 집단은 거의 불평행동을 취하지 않는 것으로 나타났다.
