Abstract

This paper is to identify how variety of products, product quality, guarantees, employee services and physical environment of store which is considered to store image components influence on satisfaction and loyalty, which in turn effects on loyalty in grocery retailing stores. A survey was conducted to collect the data with consumers who had the actual purchase experience within 1 years in grocery retailing stores. Analysis of structural equation modeling with SPSS 19.0 and AMOS 16.0 were performed to test the research hypothesis. The result of the study as follows: First, product quality and employee services influence on both satisfaction and trust, but physical environment of store are effects on satisfaction only. Second, no store image components influence on loyalty. Finally, satisfaction was effect on both trust and loyalty, whereas trust was not effect on loyalty. In order to build strong customer loyalty, marketer have to strengthen the relationship quality such as satisfaction and trust, and formed through store image components that is much stronger on loyalty.

본 연구에서는 식품소매점을 대상으로 브랜드다양성, 상품품질, 보증, 종업원서비스, 물리적환경 등 점포 이미지 구성요인과 만족, 신뢰 및 충성도 간의 구조적 인과관계를 확인하였다. 설문은 식품소매점에서 최근 1년 간 구매경험이 있는 소비자를 대상으로 표본을 추출하였다. 수집된 자료는 SPSS 19.0과 AMOS16.0 통계패키지를 이용하여 연구가설을 검증하였다. 연구결과는 다음과 같다. 첫째, 상품품질 및 종업원서비스는 만족과 신뢰에 영향을 미치었지만, 물리적환경은 만족에만 영향을 미치었다. 둘째, 어떠한 점포이미지 구성차원도 충성도에는 직접적인 영향을 미치지 않았다. 셋째, 만족은 신뢰 및 충성도에 영향을 미친 반면, 신뢰는 충성도에 영향을 미치지 않는 것으로 확인되었다. 따라서 점포이미지를 통해 고객의 충성도를 구축하기 위해서는 만족과 신뢰 등 관계품질을 향상시켜야 하며, 궁극적으로 충성도를 형성하는 변수들을 중심으로 점포이미지를 형성해야 할 것이다.
