The purpose of this study was to measure customers' perception of brand personality and self-image of family restaurants and compare the congruity between brand personality and customer-perceived self-image according to customers' general characteristics. Self-administered questionnaires were completed by 377 customers, and data were analyzed by frequency, chi-square, paired samples t-test, factor, reliability, cluster, and discriminant analyses. Results of the study were as follows: factor analysis of brand personality and customer-perceived self-image as 5 factors, i.e., sincerity (10 variables), excitement (8 variables), competence (7 variables), sophistication (6 variables), and ruggedness(5 variables). As a result, the averages of brand personality and self-image of family restaurants were $2.93{\pm}0.39$ and $3.24{\pm}0.52$, respectively. Cluster analysis divided subjects into two groups according to congruity between brand personality and customer-perceived self-image of family restaurants: congruity group and incongruity group. The two groups were differed from one another in general characteristics. Limitations and future research directions are also discussed.

Based on the self-congruity theory, this study investigated how congruity between multi-brand store image and consumers' self-image affect store attributes and consumer responses. A total of 331 questionnaires were used to analyze data. The results of research were: 1) 'Sophistication' as the congruity factor between store image and consumers' self-image affected 'utility', 'atmosphere', and 'design' among store attribute factors. Also, 'sincerity' influenced 'utility' as the store attribute factor. 2) 'Atmosphere' as the store attribute factor positively influenced consumers' emotional responses, and 'utility' and 'design' factors positively influenced consumers' cognitive responses. 3) Consumers' emotional responses had a positive impact on consumers' cognitive responses; in addition, consumers' emotional and cognitive responses had positive impacts on consumers' behavioral responses. 4) A-Land indicated higher scores on 'sophistication', 'atmosphere', and 'design' factors than ABC Mart. ABC Mart had shown higher scores on 'ruggedness' and 'utility' factors than A-Land. This study provides practical implications to develop effective marketing strategies to manage multi-brand stores.

최근까지 많은 학자 및 기업에서 장기간의 고객유지 및 지속적인 수익성 등을 달성하기 위해서 고객 충성도를 제고하기 위한 노력을 쏟아 왔다. 본 논문에서는 고객 충성도를 태도적 및 행동적 차원으로 구분해서 이에 영향을 미치는 선행변수들을 고찰해 볼 수 있는 연구모형을 구상하였다. 구체적으로 자아일치성과 고객 충성도 사이에서 지각된 가치가 매개역할을 수행하는지도 살펴 보았다. 연구결과 자아일치성은 직접적이고도 긍정적인 영향력을 지각된 가치와 고객 충성도에 미치고 있었다. 또한 자아일치성이 태도적 및 행동적 충성도에 영향력을 미치는 상황에서, 지각된 가치가 매개역할을 수행하고 있음을 확인할 수 있었다. 본 연구결과를 이용해 현장의 담당자들과 관련 산업에 하나의 판단근거를 제시할 수 있었다.

본 연구는 한류의 세계적인 확산으로 한류 휴먼브랜드의 영향력이 높아지고 있는 반면, 이를 중심으로 한 학술적인 논의가 많지 않다는 점에서 한류 휴먼브랜드가 소비자 행동에 미치는 영향성을 자아일치성, 휴먼브랜드 애착과 브랜드 자산 요인으로 검증하였다. 한류 소비가 많은 중국 소비자를 대상으로 온라인 설문조사를 진행하였으며, 403명의 데이터를 분석에 사용하였다. 연구 결과, 한류 휴먼브랜드와의 이상적 자아일치성과 실제적 자아일치성은 한류 휴먼브랜드 애착에 유의한 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났으나, 사회적 자아일치성은 유의하지 않은 것으로 나타났다. 또한 한류 휴먼브랜드에 대한 애착은 브랜드 인지, 지각된 품질, 브랜드 이미지와 브랜드 충성도에 긍정적인 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다.

This study examines the effect of congruity between product and TV reality show on purchase intention of Chinese consumers. A total of 110 respondents from Chinese consumers were collected using online surveys. The results were analyzed by SPSS 22.0. Multiple Linear Regression and process analysis were used to test the hypotheses. This article found that congruity between product and TV reality show, attitude toward product placement and recall of product affected consumers' purchase intention. In addition, the frequency of consumer watching TV reality show and familiarity of product moderated the attitude toward product placement and recall of product. This study provides useful implications for sponsors to select product placement as one of their marketing promotion tool.

Live-streaming commerce business is growing as the consumption of video content and Smartphone shopping increases. This study examines the following three aspects: whether para-social interaction influences perceived interactivity; whether seller trust affects satisfaction with the experience; whether relationships are controlled by a moderated mediator of self-image congruity. An online survey was conducted with 203 women aged 20-30 years. They were asked to respond to the survey after watching a beauty category live-streaming commerce broadcast. The results revealed that the para-social interaction had a significant effect on perceived interactivity, seller trust and satisfaction with the experience. The findings also indicated that the perceived interactivity and seller trust mediated the relationship between para-social interaction and satisfaction with the experience. Regarding the mediated moderation effect of self-image congruity, it was statistically significant between para-social interaction and perceived interactivity through seller trust. A higher level of consumer's self-image congruity influenced the greater effect of para-social interaction on live commerce experience. This study makes important theoretical contributions to the para-social interaction in mobile commerce industry by emphasizing the mediating role of perceived interactivity and seller trust. This is achieved by examining the moderating effects of self-congruity on satisfaction with the experience. The results also verify the seller's crucial role in live-streaming commerce market which leads to the consumers greater fulfillment.

목적 자아일치성(self-congruity)은 "비실용 대상 포지셔닝(Non-utilitarian destination positioning)" 이론에 근거한 것으로,소비자들이 의사결정을 하거나 행동을 할 때 대상(제품, 서비스 등)과 자신의 가치를 일치시키려는 성향을 의미한다. 반면, 기능일치성(functional congruity)은 대상(장소, 제품, 서비스)의 실용적 가치에 자신의 의사결정이나 행동을 일치시키려는 성향을 의미한다. 최근 모바일 기반의 소셜네트워크서비스를 통해 소비자들이 제품이나 서비스에 대한 개인적 경험을 언제 어디서나 공유하게 되면서 온라인 구전을 통한 커뮤니케이션 기회가 많아지고 활발해지고 있다. 한편, 자기해석(self-construal)은 마케팅 및 현대 심리학에서 그동안 많이 다루어져 온 주제이다. 본 연구는 자아일치성 및 기능일치성과 중국 관광객의 긍정적인 온라인 구전 간의 관계와 자기해석의 조절효과를 검증하는 것을 연구 목적으로 한다. 설계/방법론/접근 연구가설을 검증하기 위해 본 연구에서는 32개 문항으로 구성된 설문지를 개발하였고, 모든 항목은 리커트 5점 척도를 사용하였다. 중국 설문조사 전문 웹사이트인 sojump.com에서 한국을 방문한적이 있는 사용자들을 대상으로 설문조사를 실시하였고, 자료분석을 위해 SPSS 20.0과 AMOS 18.0을 사용하였고, 구조방정식과 회귀분석을 이용하여 연구가설을 검증하였다. 전반적인 모형의 적합도, 신뢰도, 타당성 등을 검증하기 위해 확인요인분석을 실시하였고, 동일방법편의(common method bias) 여부도 함께 진단하였다. 결과 연구결과 자아일치성과 기능일치성은 온라인 구전에 긍정적인 효과를 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 그리고 자아일치성이 온라인 구전에 미치는 효과는 독립적인 자기해석 성향이 있는 중국 관광객이 의존적인 자기해석 성향이 있는 중국 관광객보다 더 강하다는 것을 알 수 있었다. 반면, 기능일치성이 온라인 구전에 미치는 효과는 의존적인 자기해석 성향이 있는 중국 관광객이 독립적인 자기해석 성향이 있는 중국 관광객보다 더 강하다는 것을 알 수 있었다.
