The theory of planned behavior proposed by Ajzen predicts that certain behaviors are determined by behavioral intentions which are affected by an attitudinal belief toward the behavior, the subject norms, and the individual's perception of their control over the behavior. This study's aim is to examine consumers' inappropriate complaint behaviors, using the theory of planned behavior. Consumers' inappropriate complaint behaviors are defined by two types, which are low -and high-intensity inappropriate complaint behavior based on the primary data collected from a group of consumer affairs professionals in the business field. The survey questionnaire was administered to 1,000 consumers via an on-line survey. The two models were assessed with path analysis in order to predict consumers' inappropriate complaint behaviors, using the theory of planned behavior. The results are as follows: First, two types of inappropriate compliant behaviors were identified according to the results of an exploratory study conducted by professionals who had been employed at the department of consumer affairs. Second, the theory of planned behavior is adequately fitted to examine the factors related to consumers' inappropriate complaint behaviors. Also, all three variables based on the theory of planned behavior, -perceived behavior control, subjective norm, and attitude-had a significant effect on inappropriate complaint behavior intention. Third, consumers' inappropriate complaint behavior intention played the most significant role in low-intensity inappropriate complaint behavior, whereas attitude was found to play a significant role in high-intensity inappropriate complaint behavior. The significance and implication were discussed in terms of effective customer management strategies.

소셜 네트워크 서비스(SNS) 등 정보통신 기술의 빠른 진화는 사용자들 간의 소통과 응집을 가능하게 하는 순기능과 허위 사실의 유포나 소수의 여론 독점 등 역기능 요소로써 소비자의 문제행동을 유발시킬 가능성이 있다. 소비자의 문제행동이 점차 증가하고 있으며 이에 따라 많은 사업자들이 피해를 입고 있음에도 불구하고 소비자 문제행동에 관한 선행연구들이 미미하여 체계적인 대응 전략 마련이 어려운 상황이다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 소비자 문제행동에 대한 선행연구와 구조 기반 신뢰 연구에 기반하여 소비자의 문제행동 방어전략을 모색하였다. 본 연구를 통해 소비자의 비윤리적 행위의 영역에 이르기 까지 연구의 영역을 넓힘과 동시에 실무적으로는 소비자 문제행동에 대응한 사업자 전략 및 제도적 장치 보완에 기여할 수 있을 것으로 판단한다.
