Abstract

Consumers nowadays spend more time using computers and are getting used to buying products through the Internet(Park, 2002), and therefore, understanding consumers' impulse buying behavior in an online shopping context is also important for retailers. The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between online apparel impulse buying behavior and the two risk dimensions of apparel involvement(i.e., risk importance, risk probability). The data were collected using an online survey with a structured questionnaire. A total of 339 college students were used in the study. The results of MANOVA showed that the impulse buyer group perceived the risk importance and risk probability of apparel involvement significantly lower. Based on the results, the two hypotheses were supported. From the results of the present study, it is concluded that the two risk dimensions of apparel involvement are negatively related to online impulse buying behavior of apparel products. From the results of the present study, it is concluded that the risk dimensions of apparel involvement are closely related to the online apparel impulse buying behavior.

본 연구의 목적은 위험지각 측면에서의 의복관여도와 의류판매 웹사이트 상에서의 충동구매행동간의 관계를 알아보기 위한 것이다. 인터넷 설문지를 사용한 데이터 수집을 통해 339부가 본 연구에 사용되었다. 가설검증 전에 의복관여 요인을 분류하기 위해 요인분석을 실시한 결과 위험지각 측면에서의 의복관여가 두 가지 요인으로 분류되었다. 첫번째 요인은 risk importance이고 두 번째는 risk probability로 분류되었다. MANOVA를 통한 통계분석 결과 충동구매집단이 비충동구매집단보다 의복관여의 risk importance와 risk probability의 측면 모두에서 유의하게 낮게 나타났고 충동구매집단의 충동구매성향과 의복관여도의 두 가지 측면이 모두 부적인 상관관계를 가지는 것으로 나타났다. 그 결과 가설 1,2 모두가 검증되었다.
