Abstract

This research is done with the objectives to examine and to identify how the main factors of airline services, which become fundamentals for airline customers to select their favorite one, affect their customer satisfaction and their customer preference, with a focus on adjustable influence of converting cost. The survey has been conducted with the population of the airline customers who use international airlines through Incheon International Airport and processed with the objectives to verify the influence of the main factors of airline services to customer satisfaction and customer preference and also to collect the verified data for adjustable influence of converting cost between customer satisfaction and customer preference, and its results are as follows: Firstly, airline services have significant impact on their customer satisfaction. Secondly, they also have significant impact on their customer preference, Thirdly, the converting cost between both of customer satisfaction and customer preference to airline services doesn't involve the adjustable function in consecutive cost nor in learning cost but it does involve the one in sunk cost.

본 연구에서는 항공고객이 항공사를 선택할 때 기준이 되는 항공서비스요인이 고객만족과 고객애호도에 미치는 영향에 대한 전환비용의 조절적 효과를 중심으로 검증과 규명에 목적을 두고 연구한다. 설문조사는 인천국제공항을 이용하여 국적항공사 이용고객을 모집단으로 하여 항공고객이 항공사를 선택할 때 기준이 되는 항공서비스요인이 고객만족과 고객애호도에 미치는 영향관계와 그리고 고객만족과 고객애호도간 전환비용의 조절적 영향에 대한 검증 자료수집에 목적을 두고 진행 되었으며 연구결과 첫째, 항공서비스는 고객만족에 유의한 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났으며, 둘째, 항공서비스는 고객애호도에 유의한 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 셋째, 항공서비스에 대한 고객만족과 고객애호도간에 전환비용은 연속비용, 학습비용에 조절적인 역할을 못하였고 매몰비용은 조절적 역할을 하는 것으로 나타났다.
