Abstract

The study begins with the proposition that customers' recognition of risk and their information level for a service firm and its product influence to the selection of information channel and loyalty of customers. Experimental study found that the likelihood of personal information channel selection would be increased as customers felt higher level of risk and as they had lower level of information when they purchased service products. The study also found that customer loyalty would be influenced by the risk recognition level, but the relationship between loyalty and information level was not significant.

본 연구는 서비스 상품의 구매상황에서 고객들이 인지하는 위험의 정도와 보유하고 있는 기업과 상품의 정보의 수준이 구매의사결정을 내리는데 필요한 정보를 탐색하는 채널 선택과 고객의 충성도에 어떤 영향을 미치는지에 대하여 연구 하였다. 연구결과 고객들이 인지하는 위험의 정도가 높고 보유하고 있는 정보의 수준이 낮을수록 공식정보채널 보다는 개인적인 정보채널을 선택하여 정보를 탐색하는 것으로 나타났다. 또한 인지하는 위험의 정도가 높을수록 해당 기업과 상품에 대한 충성도가 높아지는 것으로 밝혀졌으나 정보의 수준은 고객 충성도에 유의미한 영향을 미치지 않는 것으로 나타났다.
