초록

본 연구는 온라인 쇼핑의 정보검색과 구매 편리성에도 불구하고 오프라인 매장을 방문하여 직접 제품을 확인하고 정보를 획득하는 소비자의 쇼루밍 현상을 설명하고자 한다. 구체적으로 본 연구는 소비자의 쇼루밍에 영향을 미치는 핵심변수를 모바일 기술 특성과 이용자 개인 특성의 두 차원을 중심으로 도출하여 검증한다. 모바일 기술의 이용은 쇼루밍 활동에서 중요한 부분이나 기술적 특성들이 미치는 효과는 간과되었다. 아울러 소비자 개인의 특성은 쇼루밍을 예측하는 주요변수로 오랫동안 제기되었다. 이와 더불어, 쇼루밍이 구매의도에 미치는 영향과 이러한 영향이 지각된 위험에 따라 달라지는지를 분석한다. 연구결과는 첫째, 모바일 기술 특성으로 고려한 서비스연결성과 시간편의성은 모두 쇼루밍을 증가시키는 것으로 밝혀졌다. 이용자가 언제 어디서든지 필요할 때 모바일서비스를 이용할 수 있고, 이러한 서비스 이용에 많은 시간이 소요되지 않는 경우에 쇼루밍은 증가한다. 둘째, 이용자 특성으로 고려한 터치욕구와 개인혁신성은 쇼루밍을 증가시키는 반면, 충동성은 유의하지 않은 것으로 나타났다. 물리적 매장에서 제품을 실제 확인하려는 터치욕구는 쇼루밍의 가장 기본적인 예측변수이며, 새로운 서비스를 적극적으로 이용해 보려는 개인혁신성은 쇼루밍을 촉진한다. 셋째, 소비자의 쇼루밍은 제품에 대한 구매의도를 증가시키는 핵심요인이다. 마지막으로 지각된 위험은 쇼루밍이 구매의도에 미치는 효과를 감소시키나 이의 효과는 유의하지 않았다. 본 연구는 쇼루밍을 촉진하는 주요변수를 제시하고 쇼루밍이 구매행위에 미치는 효과를 입증했다는 점에서 시사점을 제공한다.

This study explains consumers' showrooming which refers to the activities of visiting offline stores to check products in person and obtaining information offline and online via mobile devices before making the final decision to buy. More specifically, this study verifies key determinants of showrooming based on two dimensions of the mobile technology and user characteristics. Furthermore, the study examines the relationship of showrooming and purchase intentions and the moderating effect of perceived risks on the relationship. The key findings are as follows: firstly, service connectivity and time convenience of the mobile technology characteristics are positively related to showroming. Secondly, as the user characteristics, need for touch and personal innovativeness increase showrooming while impulsiveness does not. Thirdly, showrooming contributes to the increase of purchase intentions. Finally, moderating effect of perceived risks has turned out to be insignificant. This study has implications by providing the understanding of key determinants of showrooming and further proving the positive relationship of showrooming and purchase intentions.
