Purpose - As the importance of salesperson attitudes and behaviors enhancing customer perception and loyalty have increased, many retail companies put emphasis on internal marketing activities. The issue also has captured the interest of academics, but most of the previous research tends to be limited to investigating antecedents of salesperson job satisfaction and commitment. Based on the consumer-brand relationship concepts, this study aims to examine the effects of the salesperson-brand relationships on customers' service evaluation and store loyalty. Research design, data, and methodology - In a structural equation model, it is hypothesized that salesperson brand identification influences salespersons' brand trust and affect, which are the two dimensions of consumer-brand relationships. Salespersons' brand trust and affect are expected to increase salespersons' customer orientation, which in turn influences customers' service evaluations and store loyalty. To test this hypotheses a set of data collected from department stores in Seoul is utilized. Results - First, it was found that salesperson brand identification is a significant antecedent to salespersons' brand trust and affects, the two dimensions of salesperson brand relationships. Second, salespersons' brand trust and affect were found to enhance salespersons' customer-oriented behaviors. Third, salespersons' customer orientation showed a significant effect on customers' service evaluation. When a salesperson makes more effort to provide useful information for fulfilling customer needs, customers evaluate the salesperson's service more positively. Finally, customers' service evaluation had a positive impact on customers' store loyalty. Conclusions - This study provides significant academic and practical implications. First, based on the theory of consumer-brand relationships, the concept of salesperson-brand relationships was introduced and found to be an effective motivator of salespersons' customer oriented attitudes and behaviors. Therefore, the two dimensions of brand relationships, brand trust and affect, should be considered as the critical factors both in developing theoretical research and improving long-term company performance. Also, internal marketing activities should focus on maximizing employees' brand identification. That is, retail companies need to put emphasis on sharing their brand values and personality with internal customers to strengthen the brand relationships with salespersons and to enhance customer responses.

자동차부품 유통산업은 2010년대 초반까지 제품의 매출 확대에만 집중하였을 뿐 유통 과정에서 발생되는 서비스 가치나 고객만족에 대해 큰 관심을 두지 않았다. 그러나 최근 시장 경쟁이 심화되면서 변화와 혁신이 요구됨에 따라 제품뿐만 아니라 서비스를 통한 만족, 신뢰, 충성 등 핵심 가치에 관심이 높아졌다. 이에 본 연구는 서비스품질과 고객만족, 고객신뢰, 고객충성 간의 관계를 파악하여 고객중심 서비스 마인드가 기업의 지속성에 미치는 영향을 분석하고자 한다. 이를 위해 342개의 자동차부품 대리점 대상으로 설문조사를 실시하였고, 측정모형과 구조모형은 모두 AMOS 23.0으로 분석하였다. 실증분석 결과, 서비스품질은 고객충성에 긍정적인 영향을 미치며, 고객만족 및 고객신뢰가 서비스품질과 고객충성 사이를 매개하는 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구는 그 간 제품 품질에 관심을 두었던 자동차부품 도매점과 대리점 간에도 서비스품질이 고객만족, 신뢰와 충성을 이끌어 내는데 중요한 요소임을 밝히는데 의의가 있다. 향후 연구에서는 지역 커버리지를 확대하여 서비스품질의 다양한 케이스를 통한 분석으로 개선 및 발전하기를 기대한다.

아파트 브랜드는 급변하는 국내 주택 시장 환경과 함께 변화하는 수요자의 사회 심리적 욕구를 충족시키기 위한 대안으로 개발되어, 주택 판매 수익 창출에 장기간 긍정적 효과를 창출하였다. 그러나 브랜드 인지도와 이미지 향상에 집중한 판매 전략을 수행한 건설회사들은 거주자 만족도 및 재구매, 구전효과 등을 포함한 브랜드 충성도 구축에 어려움을 겪게 된다. 본 연구는 이러한 한계를 극복하고 균형있는 브랜드 자산의 발전을 통해 건설 회사의 지속적 수익 창출을 위한 전략 제시를 목적으로 한다. 이를 위해 국내 건설 시장 및 브랜드 자산 요소들의 특성을 파악하고, 이들의 인과관계 및 자산 형성 과정의 단계별 분석을 실시한다. 또한, 모델링을 통한 브랜드 관리의 무형적 측면에 대한 고려와 형성 과정의 포괄적 분석을 위해 시스템 다이내믹스(System Dynamics)를 적용한다. 브랜드 자산 요소의 인과관계 모델링에 기초하여 주도기업 및 도전기업을 위해 제안된 전략은 건설회사의 장기적 수익창출 및 브랜드 발전을 위해 활용 가능할 것으로 예상된다.

Third, EP-inventing and EP-founding have significant impacts on consumer identification. Fourth, EP-developing does not have impact on identification directly, but does indirectly through corporate trust as a mediator. Fifth, corporate trust and identification have significant impacts on loyalty. Conclusions - This indicates that the foodservice franchise CEOs should continuously develop new menus and service to fulfill customer needs.

정보화시대에 있어서 기업의 업무 처리는 컴퓨터를 활용하는 것이 대부분이며 컴퓨터 오남용을 방지하기 위한 억제요인에 대해 많은 투자를 하고 있음에도 불구하고 빈도와 양은 증가추세에 있다. 따라서 본 연구의 목적은 기업내에서 개인 용도로 컴퓨터를 오남용 하고 있는 요인들을 조직적 특성과 개인적 특성으로 구분하여 파악해 보고자 한다. 조직 특성으로 살펴본 윤리강령 및 징계는 태도와 의도에 유의한 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 이는 윤리강령이 명확히 명문화 되어 있고 경영정책에 반영함으로써 종업원 스스로 지켜야 한다는 의지를 각인시킴으로써 회사의 정책과 연계시킬 수 있다는 것을 시사하며, 아울러 징계의 명시화와 인사고과에 반영하는 등의 노력이 효과가 있는 것으로 판단되어 진다. 조직 충성도는 태도에 유의하게 나타났으나 의도에는 유의하지 않게 나타났다. 이는 조직충성도 강도에 따라 반드시 컴퓨터 오남용 의도로 이어지는 것은 아니며 개인의 성향, 심리적 상태, 조직 분위기 등에 따라 다소 개인적인 차이가 있을 수 있을 것으로 생각되어 진다. 컴퓨터 오남용의 행동은 태도 및 의도에 의해 유의한 영향을 받았다. 업무이외의 목적으로 회사 컴퓨터를 사용하는 것이 부적절하다고 생각하기 보다는 조직 구성원에게 피해를 주지 않거나 일과시간 외 업무이외의 목적으로 얼마든지 회사 컴퓨터를 사용할 수 있다고 판단하는 성향이 강하다는 것으로 파악할 수 있겠다.
