Abstract

Mobile social commerce is one of the fastest growing distribution channels in recent years. Therefore, it is important to understand customer's buying behavior in mobile social commerce in order to continuously grow in the competitive mobile social commerce market. To achieve the purpose of this study is to investigate how impulsive buying behaviors are applied in mobile shopping and how factors affect impulse purchasing in online shopping. In order to verify the hypothesis, we surveyed the customers who have experiences of using mobile social commerce and analyzed 280 valid data by Smart PLS 3.0. As a result, it was confirmed that consumers' innovation and purchasing experience influenced impulse purchase in mobile social commerce, and scarcity messages among information attributes affect impulse buying. Through this study, impulsive buying behavior which is a frequently analyzed variable in an online shopping context will be extended to the mobile shopping context. and it will provide practical implications for customer strategy establishment in mobile social commerce market.

모바일 소셜커머스는 최근 모바일 쇼핑의 빠른 확산 중에서도 가장 빠르게 성장하는 유통채널이다. 따라서 경쟁이 심화되는 모바일 소셜커머스 시장에서 지속적으로 성장하기 위해 모바일 소셜커머스에서의 고객 구매행동에 대한 이해가 중요하다. 이에 본 연구는 모바일 소셜커머스 시장에서 소비자 태도 실증을 위해 온라인 쇼핑에서 고객 행동 관련 연구에서 다수 활용된 충동구매(Impulsive buying behavior)가 모바일 쇼핑에서 어떻게 적용되며, 충동구매에 영향을 미치는 요인이 무엇인지 확인했다. 연구는 모바일 소셜커머스 경험자를 대상으로 진행한 설문 중 총 280부의 데이터를 Smart PLS 3.0을 통해 분석하여 진행했다. 결과적으로 개인적 특성 중 소비자의 혁신성과 구매경험이 모바일 소셜커머스에서 충동구매에 영향을 미치고, 제공되는 정보의 속성 중 희소성메세지가 충동구매에 영향을 미치는 것을 확인했다. 본 연구를 통해 기존 온라인 쇼핑에서 많이 활용된 고객 행동 관련 변수인 충동구매를 모바일 쇼핑으로 확장하여 살펴보았다는데 이론적 시사점이 있으며, 실무적으로 모바일 소셜커머스 시장에서의 고객 전략 수립에 유효한 시사점을 제공할 것이다.
