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.

미소 짓는 얼굴은 친근하고 따뜻한 인상을 전달하여 대인 관계에 긍정적인 효과를 가져 온다. 그러나 고정관념내용모델과 따뜻함과 유능함 인상의 보상효과에 따르면 미소를 짓는 표정은 타인에게 따뜻한 인상을 전해주지만, 반대 차원의 인상인 유능함에 대한 부정적 평가를 가져올 수 있다. 본 연구는 따뜻함과 유능함 인상평가의 상호 보상효과를 고가 제품군 브랜드의 소셜미디어 광고에 응용하였다. 구체적으로는 미소를 띠는 광고모델로 인해 브랜드의 따뜻함 인상이 증가하고 이는 소비자의 구매의도에 부정적인 영향을 끼칠 수 있음을 소비자의 자기해석 수준을 이용하여 살펴보았다. 분석 결과, 미소를 띠는 모델이 사용된 광고에 노출될 때, 독립적 자기해석을 하는 소비자는 상호의존적 자기해석 소비자보다 낮은 구매의도를 보여준 반면, 미소를 띠지 않은 모델이 사용된 광고에 대해서는 의존적 자기해석을 하는 소비자가 독립적 자기해석 소비자보다 낮은 구매의도를 보여주었다. 따라서 고가 제품군 브랜드 광고에 기용된 모델의 미소가 소비자의 구매의도에 미치는 영향에서 소비자의 자기해석 수준이 조절변수로 작용함이 증명되었다. 본 연구는 고가 제품군 브랜드 광고의 효과적인 광고모델 전략에 대한 이론적, 실무적 시사점을 제공하고자 한다.

Purpose - The purpose of this study is to provide managerial implications for retail brand managers. Specifically, current study divide donation type into direct donation(e.g., corporate philanthropy) and indirect donation(cause-related marketing) and investigate the donation type on the purchase intention. Also, this research intends to provide the mechanism between the donation type on the purchase intention by showing the mediating role of the consumers' perceived warmth. Moreover, the moderating role of the brand type(non-luxury vs. luxury brand) between the donation type, the warmth perception, and the purchase intention will be examined. Research design, data, and methodology - A total of 174 undergraduate students from a university in Korea were recruited and were randomly assigned to the conditions of a 2(donation type: indirect vs. direct) X 2 (brand type: non-luxury vs. luxury) between-subjects design. The hypotheses were tested using SPSS 21.0. Two-way ANOVA and multiple regression analysis were performed. Results - Empirical results showed that the consumers' perceived warmth was higher in the direct donation condition than the indirect donation condition and moreover this influence of the donation type on the perceived warmth was moderated by the brand type. Specifically, the influence of donation type on the perceived warmth was significant only for luxury brand. And there is an interaction effect of donation type and brand type on the purchase intention. More specifically, the purchase intention for luxury brand was higher in the direct donation condition than the indirect donation condition whereas the purchase intention for non-luxury brand was higher in the indirect donation condition than in the direct donation condition. Conclusions - This research contributed to the CSR literature of retail brand management by showing that the influence of the donation type and the brand type on the purchase intention. Moreover, this study enriched CSR literature by introducing Stereotype Content Model and showing the mediating role of the consumers' perceived warmth. Managerially, these results suggested retail brand managers of non-luxury brand and luxury brand how to select an appropriate type of donation and conduct CSR strategies.
