Purpose - The main purpose of this study is to find consumers' usage behavior in mobile services. To achieve these research goals, we empirically estimate the relationship between characteristics related to the use and provision of mobile services and factors influencing consumers' intentions. Research design / data / methodology - This study based on TAM, in which behavior is seen as a consequence of affect and intentions and used the theory of consumption values which is a means of explaining user decisions to employ a utilitarian and hedonic facet using by smart phone. Results - The result of the study verified that specific factors, such as expectations about pleasure and monetary value, had the biggest influence on the service usage pattern of mobile consumers. And typically, when consumers are expected to monetary damages, it will be avoided. However, in result of this study, it was found that mobile service users pay a high cost, but they are in pursuit of pleasure and fun. Conclusions - These results, a variety of applications in the mobile service are being provided to users. As information technology has developed, companies should have providing diverse application programs and good quality of services with advanced information technology.

Purpose - Many global companies across industries are paying significant attention to co-creation activities, which enable consumers to participate in firms' value creation process, as a main model of new product development processes. In this study, we aim to examine different types of co-creation activities and their effects on consumer attitudes. We focus on upstream co-creation, downstream co-creation, autonomous co-creation, and sponsored co-creation. Upstream co-creation includes firms' control and management in the initial stage of new product development and prototype testing. Downstream co-creation indicates that consumers participate in firms-initiative activities at a later stage in new product development, such as public relations and marketing communications. Autonomous co-creation includes consumers' commitment activities in the absence of firms' rewards. However, under the sponsored co-creation, consumers can return monetary and social rewards from firms through their co-creation activities. The hypotheses regarding the effect of co-creation on consumer attitudes are as follows. (H1, H2, H3, H4) Upstream, downward, autonomous, and sponsored co-creation has positive effects on consumer attitude. (H5, H6) As intrinsic motivation increases, the positive effect of upstream and autonomous co-creation increases. (H7, H8) As extrinsic motivation increases, the positive effect of downward and sponsored co-creation increases. Research design, data, and methodology - To achieve our research goals, we analyzed responses from 246 samples from Korean consumers and verified the proposed hypotheses using a linear regression model. The samples include Korean consumers who experienced upstream, downstream, autonomous, and sponsored co-creation by firms. Results - First, both upstream co-creation and downstream co-creation with firms and consumers are found to have positive effects on consumer attitudes. Second, autonomous co-creation and sponsored co-creation are found to positively affect consumer attitudes. Third, consumers' intrinsic motivation has a fit-effect between upstream co-creation and autonomous co-creation, and their extrinsic motivation has a fit-effect between downstream co-creation and sponsored co-creation. Consumers who have strong intrinsic motivation are affected by upstream co-creation and autonomous co-creation. However, consumers who have strong extrinsic motivation are affected by downstream co-creation and sponsored co-creation. Conclusion - These results indicate that the fit between consumers' co-creation participation types and consumers'motivations is a significant factor in determining consumer attitudes. The results of this study imply that various types of consumer participation actually improve consumers' attitudes toward products and brands. In addition, our study also suggests that firms should consider the fit between co-creation types and consumers' motivations when they initiate co-creation activities. In this study, we survey consumers who participated in firms' co-creation activities. Future studies can compare different types of consumers. For instance, we can examine the different in different test by comparing experienced versus inexperienced consumers. Finally, we expand this research to user-generated content topics. This attending issue focuses on the mechanism that breaks down the boundaries and barriers between consumers and producers.

The current study attempts to expand our understanding of the determinants of energy-saving technology (EST) use by focusing on the individual aspects of environmental behaviors. This study integrates the hedonic, normative, and gain goals to explain the causal relationship between users and EST use. By adopting Goal-Framing Theory, this study proposed three individual goal frames in the environmental context: hedonic (perceived pleasurability), normative (social norms), and gain goals (legislative pressure and economic factor). Partial Least Square (PLS) was used to analyze the data from 104 respondents. Eight of the ten hypotheses were strongly supported. We found that social norms, perceived pleasurability, economic factor, and legislative pressure had positive and significant effects on attitude to EST use. Interestingly, we found that media influence did not have a severe effect on perceived pleasurability, and that the economic factor enforces mainly positive attitude to EST. Important theoretical and practical implications of these findings are discussed.

Social enterprises that seek to pursue socially desirable goals through economic profits have received considerable attention in recent years. Despite the widespread attention paid to social enterprises, they often achieve limited success in markets. This research examines how types of enterprises affect consumer judgments. This research considers two types of enterprises: social and for-profit enterprises. Building on the stereotype content model, we propose that consumers perceive social enterprises using the dimensions of warmth and competence. Study 1 shows that a product of a for-profit enterprise is judged as having higher performance, but being less meaningful; in contrast, a product of a social enterprise is judged as warmer, but less competent. Further, in Study 2, we demonstrate that consumers' willingness to buy products can be lowered when the products are offered by a social enterprise. Practical and theoretical implications are further discussed.

Self-image is an organized structure of perceptions of one's self and it has a direct influence on values, ideas, goals and objective. And It is generally agreed that consumers engage in buying behavior that is consistent and congruent with their self-image. With this assumptions numerous researches have prove that consumers tends to favor the brand or store image that is congruent to self-image. According to these results we can assume that self-image also can have influence on consumer's information processing, especially in advertising process. Because one of the main factor in forming the brand or store image is advertising. Thus, this study is to propose it's effect of self-image in clothing advertising process. In specifically to find out congruency between self-image and clothing ad image's influence on ad recalling, ad attitude and buying intention. And also it's difference between ideal self and actual self. This study suggested that when there is a congruency between self-image and clothing ad image, consumers have more positive attitude toward the clothing ad and have more intention to buy the products ann also can recall more frequently. Considering the characteristics of clothing goods as a symbolical goods, ideal self-image is more effective than actual self-image.

This study aims to provide direction for the brand goals approaching and analyzing previous studies in social psycholog y perspective, focusing on man and society relationship. 526 preceding 'brand space' associated papers from 1992 to 2012 were collected and analyzed them by year, by space and by theme utilizing the realism methodology, the theor etical relationship methodology. The numbers of the study for 'brand space' had increased gradually from 2003 to 2010 then climbed vertically and the most common study was about place, that shows there is a relationship between variou s social phenomena and human psychology. For the thematic analysis, 'Social psychological components of the brand' based on social psychology was used for analyzing the cognitive aspects, the relational aspects, and the attitudinal aspects. The most common study was the study of the cognitive aspects, and relational aspects, and lastly the attitud inal aspects in order. The strategy was the most common research for the brand associated study. The ultimate point of the strategy is to get 'attitude'. From social psychology perspective, there is a cycle in the minds of consumers, 'Identification', 'Internalization', 'Conformity' and 'Compliance'. Structure of these relationships can provide a clue that consumers' attitude lead the consumers' action.

The globalization of Korean food has long been an important agenda for both the Korean government and food-related firms, and there have been many trials and errors because of cultural differences in food consumption habits. This study explores Chinese consumers' purchase behaviors toward chicken menus, and for a better understanding of these behaviors, the study considers differences in consumer behavior in between Chinese and Korean consumers around Daejeon, South Korea. The sample included a total of 232 respondents who provided information on their purchase behaviors toward chicken menus. A total of 13 purchasing attributes were compared through a t-test, and according to the results, there were significant differences in 6 attributes: "like the taste" (p<0.001), "as a side dish for drinks" (p<0.001), "to feel good" (p<0.01), "like all chicken dishes" (p<0.05), "for health" (p<0.05), and "low prices" (p<0.05). The results for chicken consumption indicate significant differences in frequency (p<0.05), goals (p<0.01), and expected fair prices (p<0.05). These results suggest that, to make Korean chicken dishes a global Korean menu, future research should focus on consumers' motives for purchasing chicken menus, satisfaction, and characteristics. The generalizability of the results may be limited because the survey was conducted by considering only those students in the Daejeon area. Future research should include a wider range of consumers in both Korea and China for better strategic plans for food-related firms.

ESG는 모든 기업에게 선택이 아닌 필수 사항이 되었으며, 국내 주요 은행들도 ESG 경영을 적극적으로 실천하고 있다. 은행은 ESG 내부활동 뿐만 아니라 자금공급의 중개자로 ESG 금융을 제공하는 역할을 수행하고 있다. 최근에는 디지털 신기술과 결합하여 친환경 활동 수행 시 우대금리를 제공하는 ESG 금융상품을 출시하고 있다. 그러나, 무분별한 우대금리 제공은 은행의 수익성에 악영향을 미칠 수 있으며, 환경인식 개선에 실질적으로 기여하지 못할 경우 그린워싱(Greenwashing) 문제에 직면할 수 있다. 이에 본 연구는 전기 절약과 연동된 ESG 디지털 적금상품을 연구 대상으로 선정하고, 가입자의 실제 데이터를 통하여 소비자의 환경인식과 저축행동을 실증적으로 분석하였다(표본수 2,478개). 본 연구의 주요 결과는 다음과 같다. 첫째, ESG 디지털 적금상품의 가입 현황을 분석한 결과, 30~50대가 주요 고객층으로 나타났으며, MZ세대는 다른 세대에 비해 전기 절약 실천을 통한 우대금리 달성에 있어 상대적으로 높은 성과를 보였다. 둘째, 소비자의 환경인식은 ESG 금융상품의 목표 달성에 유의한 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. ESG 디지털 적금상품은 저축의 기본 기능에 충실함과 동시에 환경인식을 높이는 데 기여할 수 있음이 확인되었다. 셋째, 환경인식은 소비자의 저축 납입행동을 유도하지 못했으며, 이는 지속적인 소비자 관여가 필요함을 시사한다. 본 연구는 환경인식(Environmental Awareness)과 저축행동이론(Theory of Saving Behavior)을 기반으로 ESG 금융상품의 목표 달성에 미치는 소비자 인식 및 행동을 학문적으로 설명하였다. 연구의 결과는 ESG 금융상품의 우대금리 설계의 적정성이 중요함을 시사한다.

본 연구에서는 기업이 준거가격 광고의 단서에 대한 이론을 적용하여 소비자들에게 어떻게 효과적으로 커뮤니케이션 해야 할 것인지에 초점을 두고 있다. 여러 서비스산업 중 여행상품을 대상으로 정보유형을 조절변수로 하여, 가격단서(외적 준거가격)와 지식수준의 독립변수가 소비자지각의 종속변수에 어떠한 영향을 미치는지에 대해 살펴보았으며, 이러한 변수들의 관계를 이용하여 외적 준거가격의 제시여부와 지식수준의 높고 낮음, 긍정적 정보와 부정적 정보제공을 통한 8개 집단간의 요인실험설계(factorial design)를 실시하였다. 연구결과 서비스의 준거가격 광고에서 가격단서(외적준거가격)를 제시받은 소비자들이 미제시한 소비자들보다 가격-품질지각이 높아지고, 서비스에 대한 지각가치를 높게 지각한다는 사실이 발견되었다. 또한, 긍정적인 정보보다는 부정적인 정보에 노출되었을 때, 지식수준이 낮은 소비자는 지식수준이 높은 소비자보다 가격-품질지각이 높게 나타나는 것을 확인활 수 있었다.
