Abstract

In the modern society, as development innovative technology consumers could access various information. It make consumers empower in the market, and information asymmetry problem were solving more and more. In the technical information, however, there are still information asymmetry because technical information is very difficult to understand, and those are related with professional knowledge such as financial information. This study used the dataset which was collected to track Korean consumers consumption index by KCA(Korea Consumer Agency) which included consumer's problem experience at financial field. The results are followings. Firstly, consumers want to get exact and important information to decide purchase or not and comparative information in technical information area. Secondly, age is the influence variable to experience more problems in technical information section. Thirdly, consumer's subjective financial competency is major influence factor to reduce problem experience.

본 연구는 한국소비자원의 2013 한국의 소비생활지표의 원자료를 활용하여 기술적 정보를 제공하는 금융영역에서의 소비자 문제 경험을 확인하고, 이에 영향을 미치는 요소들을 탐색하였다. 금융 영역은 기술적 정보 영역에 해당하여 소비자 문제 경험 분석 시 지식 등 객관적인 역량 중심의 접근이 아니라 기술적 정보 영역의 특성에 근거해 융복합적 관점으로 영향요인을 탐색하는 것이 중요하다. 기술적 정보로서 금융영역에서는 정확한 정보의 제공 및 비교정보에 대한 요구가 높은 것으로 나타났다. 또한 문제경험에의 영향 변수를 탐색한 결과 소비자 개개인의 주관적인 금융 역량이 문제경험을 줄이는 것에 의미 있는 변수로 확인되었으며, 50대 이상의 고령 소비자들은 금융영역에서 더 많은 문제를 경험하고 있는 것으로 확인하였다. 이를 통해 기술적 정보 영역인 금융영역의 경우 금융정보의 효율적인 전달 방안에 관한 모색, 고령자에 대한 판매접점에서의 추가적인 노력 방안이 요구되며, 그 동안 객관적 금융역량을 강화하기 위한 방안에 초점이 맞추어져 있었으나, 향후 주관적 금융역량 강화를 위한 방안에 대한 연구가 요구된다.
