Abstract

Luxury products are sold in various online shopping malls in China. Companies utilize celebrities as their advertising models or disclose their CSR information to lower perceived risk. This study scrutinized the effects of CSR information and celebrity models on the relationship between perceived risk and the intention to use online shopping malls. According to the elaboration likelihood model, when consumers perceive high risk, they use the central route to process information and form attitudes. Celebrity models and CSR information as secondary clues may not have a significant effect. To test the hypotheses, a 2 (risk H/L)×2 (CSR)×2 (model) factorial design was employed. Study results found in a low perceived risk situation, CSR information or a celebrity model endorsing their products significantly increased the intention to use the shopping mall (model w/ 3.407 vs. w/o 2.88; CSR w/ 3.29 vs. w/o 2.779). However, in a perceived high-risk situation, their effects were not significant. Therefore, it is noteworthy that celebrity models and CSR information are effective in increasing the intention to use online shopping malls only when consumers use peripheral routes in a perceived low-risk situation.

중국의 다양한 온라인 쇼핑몰에서 명품을 판매하고 있다. 기업은 소비자의 지각된 위험을 낮추고자 유명한 연예인을 광고 모델로 활용하거나 기업의 사회공헌활동 (이하 CSR)을 공개한다. 본 연구는 지각된 위험이 명품판매 쇼핑몰 사용의도에 미치는 영향을 CSR 정보와 유명인 모델이 어떻게 조절하는지 살펴보고자 하였다. 정교화가능성모델에 따르면, 지각된 위험이 크면 중심경로를 이용하게 되어 주제와 직접적인 정보를 처리하게 되므로 주변 단서인 유명 모델과 CSR활동 정보의 영향은 의미가 없게 된다. 가설검증을 위해 2(지각된 위험 고·저)×2(사회공헌활동정보 유·무)×2(유명인 광고모델 유·무) 집단 간 실험설계를 실시하였다. 연구 결과, 지각된 위험이 낮을 때에는 유명인 광고모델과 CSR 정보를 각각 제시하였을 때의 쇼핑몰 사용의도(광고모델 있음: 3.407, CSR 있음: 3.29)가 제시하지 않았을 때(광고모델 없음: 2.88, CSR 없음: 2.779)보다 높았다. 그러나 지각된 위험이 높을 때에는 유명인 광고모델 및 사회공헌활동 정보 제시는 유의미한 효과가 나타났지 않았다. 따라서 유명인 모델과 CSR 정보 등 주변 단서는 소비자가 주변경로를 활용할 수 있는 저관여 상황, 저위험 상황에서 효과가 있음을 보여주는 연구로서 의의가 있다고 하겠다.
