Abstract

This study examined the effects of value-in-behavior toward pro-social consumption behavior on consumers' pro-social practices and the moderating effects of consumer's social capital based on trust and reciprocity that enhances collective actions to seek socially common values. The result showed that the value-in-behavior toward pro-social consumption was positive in general, and altruistic value was the highest, followed by emotional value, social value, and functional value. The pro-social behaviors of age groups were significantly different. In all pro-social behaviors, the older group was more active, except for the rejection of the unfair business. The result also showed that the functional value and emotional value have significant effects on consumer's pro-social practices. The interaction effects between trust and emotional value and between reciprocity and functional value were significant. Based on these results, the theoretical and practical implications for facilitating the transition to the direction of consumer's role in making positive social impacts.

본 연구는 소비자의 친사회적 소비행위에 대한 행동적 가치인식이 친사회적 소비실천에 미치는 영향을 살펴보고, 사회적으로 공동의 가치를 추구하는 데 필요한 집단적 결속력을 높이는 신뢰와 사회관계의 호혜성에 근거한 소비자의 사회적 자본의 조절효과를 검증하였다. 연구결과, 전반적으로 친사회적 소비에 대한 행동적 가치인식이 긍정적이며, 이타적 가치, 감정적 가치, 사회적 가치, 기능적 가치 순으로 높게 나타났다. 또한 소비자의 친사회적 소비실천 수준을 살펴본 결과, 연령에 따른 차이만 유의하게 나타났다. 부당기업에 대한 거부의 행동을 제외하고 모든 실천행동에서 연령이 높을수록 더 적극적인 것으로 나타났다. 친사회적 소비실천에 대한 행동적 가치인식의 영향과 사회적 자본의 조절효과를 검증한 결과, 기능적 가치와 감정적 가치의 영향이 유의하게 나타났으며, 신뢰는 감정적 가치인식과, 호혜성은 기능적 가치인식과 유의한 상호작용이 있는 것으로 나타났다. 이러한 결과를 바탕으로 사회적으로 긍정적인 영향을 끼치기 위한 소비자의 역할이 실천되기 위한 방향으로의 전환을 촉진하는데 필요한 이론적 시사점과 실무적 시사점에 대해 논의하였다.
