Abstract

While the diversity of consumer choices due to the increased information in the digital age is positive, there are also many problems with the information overload. There are even situations in which consumers can not make the best choices under the weight of information. The purpose of this study is to look at how information overload plays a role in influencing online consumer behavior. With factors related to characteristics of the shopping mall, the recognition of the mall, the quality of the mall, the composition of the shopping mall, and the purchase recommendation service were set to analyze how these variables change the behavior of online consumers when information overload appears. According to the analysis results, all of characteristic factors of shopping malls set up in this paper are analyzed to have a constant effect on the behavior of online consumers, and information overload also has a constant medium effect on the recognition of shopping malls, the quality and the structure of shopping malls, and the provision of purchase recommendation services. And characteristic factors of shopping malls are also showing positive effects on online consumer behavior in information overload situations.

디지털 시대에 많아진 정보에 따른 소비자 선택의 다양성은 긍정적이지만 여러 문제도 나타나고 있다. 본 연구의 목적은 쇼핑몰을 구성하고 있는 요인들이 온라인소비자의 행동에 영향을 미치는 과정에서 정보과부하가 어떤 매개역할을 하는 가를 살펴보는 것이다. 쇼핑몰의 특성과 관련된 요인들로 쇼핑몰의 인지도, 쇼핑몰의 품질, 쇼핑몰의 구성, 그리고 구매 추천서비스 등을 설정하여, 정보과부하가 나타날 때 이러한 변수들이 온라인소비자의 행동에 어떤 변화를 나타내는지 분석하였다. 분석결과 쇼핑몰의 특성 요인들은 모두 온라인소비자의 행동에 일정하게 영향을 미치는 것으로 분석되고 있으며, 정보과부하도 쇼핑몰의 인지도와 쇼핑몰의 품질 및 구조, 구매 추천 서비스 구비 등의 요인에 대해 모두 일정한 매개효과를 갖는 것으로 분석되었다. 그리고 쇼핑몰의 특성 요인들은 정보과부하 상황에서도 온라인소비자의 행동에 긍정적 영향을 미치고 있는 것으로 나타나고 있다.
