Abstract

The purpose of this study was to verify the effects of benefit sought of food products on SNS-WOM information characteristics, purchase intention, and SNS-WOM with regards to food products. In addition, the mediating role of SNS-WOM information characteristics was also examined. A survey was conducted from March 10th to 30th using an SNS based convenience sampling method. A total of 350 responses were collected, of which 326 were used for analysis, after excluding responses containing missing data. Multiple regression and hierarchical regression analyses were conducted to verify the hypotheses. The results from this study are as follows. First, it was found that diversity and utilitarian benefits of food products had a greater effect on consensus of SNS than the symbolic and experimental benefits. However, symbolic and experimental benefits of food products had a greater effect on neutrality of SNS than the diversity and utilitarian benefits. Second, only consensus of SNS-WOM information characteristics significantly impacted purchase intention of food products. Third, consensus of SNS-WOM information characteristics had a greater effect on SNS-WOM intention of food products than the neutrality of SNS-WOM information characteristics. Fourth, SNS-WOM information characteristics were found to mediate the relationship between benefit sought and purchase intention of food products. Fifth, SNS-WOM information characteristics were found to mediate the relationship between benefit sought and SNS-WOM intention of food products.

본 연구는 외식상품 추구편익이 SNS 구전정보특성, 구매의도와 구전의도 간의 영향관계를 살펴보고, SNS 구전정보특성이 외식상품 추구편익과 구매의도 및 구전의도 간에 매개역할을 하는지에 대해 조사하고자 하였다. 자료수집은 2016년 3월 10일부터 3월 30일까지 실시하였으며, 편의표본추출법(convenience sampling)에 의해 SNS를 경험해 본 외식소비자를 대상으로 진행하였다. 설문지는 350부를 배포하였으며, 이 중 불성실하게 응답했거나 연구목적에 부합하지 않는 설문지를 제외한 유효한 자료 326부를 분석에 사용하였다. 분석결과, 첫째, 외식상품 추구편익 중 다양성 및 실용성 편익이 상징성 및 체험성 편익보다 동의성에 더욱 큰 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 반면에, 상징성 및 체험성 편익이 다양성 및 실용성 편익보다 중립성에 더욱 큰 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 둘째, SNS 구전정보특성 중 동의성만이 외식상품 구매의도에 유의한 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 셋째, SNS 구전정보특성 중 동의성이 중립성보다 외식상품 구전의도에 더욱 큰 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 넷째, SNS 구전정보특성(동의성/중립성)은 외식상품 추구편익(다양성 및 실용성 편익/상징성 및 체험성 편익)과 구매의도 간에 매개역할을 하는 것으로 나타났다. 다섯째, SNS 구전정보특성(동의성/중립성)은 외식상품 추구편익(다양성 및 실용성 편익/상징성 및 체험성 편익)과 구전의도 간에 매개역할을 하는 것으로 나타났다.
