Abstract

The purposes of this study were to identify the dimensions of perceived dissatisfaction, complaining behavior, and long-term orientation of customers about the Internet fashion shopping mall, and to empirically examine the effects of each dimension of perceived dissatisfaction and complaining behavior on long-term orientation. For this study, questionnaires were administered to 275 Internet shopping mall customer. To analyze collected data, descriptive analysis, factor analysis, Cronbach's $\alpha$, correlation analysis, and regression analysis were used. Major findings were as follows. First, college students were found to mainly complain of dissatisfaction at product quality, refunding/changing/maintenance repair, price, contract, delivery, and payment after transaction with the Internet shopping mall. Second, customer dissatisfaction was found to have high correlation with complaining behavior and partly with customer neglect or exit. Third, higher customer dissatisfaction was found to increase customer complaining behavior in general. Finally, higher complaining behavior was found to have connection with lower customer loyalty and higher customer neglect and exit.

본 연구는 패션 유통업에서 급성장 하고 있는 전자상거래를 중심으로, 고객이 쇼핑몰과의 거래를 통해 경험하게 되는 불만족 요인을 파악하고, 불만족과 불평행동, 불평행동과 고객과 쇼핑몰간의 관계지향성의 영향 관계를 파악하고자 하였다. 본 연구를 위한 자료는 질문지를 이용하였고, 인터넷에서 패션제품을 구매한 후불만 혹은 불평행동을 해본 경험이 있는 275명의 대학생을 연구대상으로 하였다. 자료분석을 위해 기술통계분석, 요인분석, Cronbach' $\alpha$, 상관관계분석, 회귀분석을 실시하였다. 연구결과는 다음과 같다. 인터넷 패션 쇼핑몰에서의 구매 후 고객 불만족은 제품품질, 반품/교환/AS, 가격, 거래계약, 배달 및 결제관련 불만으로 분류되었으며, 비교적 품질과 배달관련 불만이 가장 높은 것으로 파악되었다. 고객 불만족, 불평행동 및 관계지향성간의 관련성이 높게 나타났으며, 고객 불만이 높을수록 불평행동도 높은 것으로 파악되었다. 한편, 불평행동이 높을수록 고객 충성은 낮아지고 태만 및 이탈행동은 높아지는 것으로 파악되었다. 특히 사적 불평행동이 높을수록 고객 충성은 낮아진 반면, 태만과 이탈은 높은 것으로 나타났다.
