Abstract

This study empirically investigates the antecedents and outcomes of choice satisfaction in the context of choosing and using the broadband Internet network services. Hypotheses are tested with regression models analyzing a survey data of 481 consumers of the broadband Internet network services in Korea. Our results show that choice satisfaction is affected by choice contexts while service satisfaction is not. Choice satisfaction is as important as service satisfaction for formation of switching intentions whereas it is less important for formation of recommendation intentions. Also, consumers characteristics are reported for those whose service satisfaction and choice satisfaction are not consistent. Choice satisfaction is a distinctive concept different from service satisfaction. Marketers can make consumers more satisfied not only managing delivery of services but also by managing their choice contexts. That will increase the loyalty of their consumers. This study finds unique determinants of choice satisfaction. Further studies are needed to clarify boundary conditions regarding the effects of choice contexts on choice satisfaction.

본 연구에서는 초고속 인터넷 서비스에 대한 실증분석을 통하여 선택 만족도의 선행 변수에 관해 알아보았다. 초고속 인터넷 서비스를 대상으로 해당 서비스를 이용하고 있는 481명의 설문데이터를 수집하여 분석한 결과, 선택 상황과 관련된 변수들은 선택 만족도에는 영향을 주지만, 서비스 만족도에는 영향을 주지 않는다는 것이 확인되었다. 선택 만족도는 서비스 만족도와 함께 소비자들의 전환의도에는 중요한 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났지만, 추천의도에 미치는 영향력은 서비스 만족도 보다 낮은 것으로 나타났다. 또한 본 연구에서는 서비스 만족도와 선택 만족도가 다르게 나타난 소비자 집단에 대해서도 분석하였다. 이러한 결과는 선택 만족도가 서비스 만족도와는 다르게 구별되는 개념이라는 것을 보여준다. 따라서 소비자가 선택 과정이나 선택 결과에 만족하도록 할 수 있다면 마케팅 관리자는 소비자의 충성도를 높일 수 있을 것이다. 마지막으로 이러한 실증분석결과를 토대로 시사점과 향후 연구 방향에 대하여 논의하였다.
