This study aimed to identify sub-dimensions of the authenticity and fictionality of a brand story and analyze the effects of authenticity and fictionality on customer-based brand equity. Data were obtained from a group of 213 males and females in their 20s and 30s living in Korea using an online survey institute. Results showed that the authenticity and fictionality of a brand story are composed of reality, excitement, exaggeration, fictional symbolism, influence, sincerity, relativeness, mysteriousness, and unreality. Of these, sincerity, excitement, reality, influence, and mysteriousness had significant effects on brand imagery; sincerity particularly exerted a relatively more substantial influence on brand imagery. Also, influence, mysteriousness, excitement, and relativeness impacted performance positively, and exaggeration impacted performance negatively. This indicated that a well-constructed brand story with authenticity and fictionality had a positive impact on the brand image. Excitement, mysteriousness, reality, relativeness, sincerity, and influence of a brand story had significant effects on brand judgement. In contrast, only excitement and influence positively impacted brand feelings, and unreality had a negative impact on feelings. The exciting and influential brand story impacted brand attitude. Also, brand image and attitude positively impacted sharing and purchase intention, while brand performance did not affect recommendation intention. These findings contribute to identifying a brand story's attributes, authenticity, and fictionality and provide insights for marketers on creating brand stories to increase brand image and attitude and to build customer-based brand equity.

본 연구에서는 진정성 지각 관련 변수들을 종합적으로 제시하고, 이러한 브랜드 속성들이 실제로 진정성 지각에 영향을 미치는지 검증하였다. 제품 유형에 따라서 어떠한 속성들이 소비자의 진정성 지각 형성에 더욱 중요한 역할을 하는지도 살펴보고, 진정성 지각이 브랜드 성과와 연결되는지, 즉 소비자의 브랜드 태도에 직접적인 영향을 미치는지 분석하였고, 브랜드 속성들이 진정성 지각을 형성한 후에 태도에 영향을 미치는 것인지도 추가적으로 확인하였다. 연구 결과, 진정성 지각에 긍정적인 영향을 미치는 브랜드 속성은 우수성, 자연성, 유행 반영성, 일관성, 지역 관련성, 윤리성의 여섯 가지 차원으로 구성되었으며, 자연성은 사적제품에서, 유행 반영성이나 지역관련성은 공적제품에서 더욱 진정성 지각을 높이는 것으로 분석되었다. 진정성 지각은 브랜드 태도에 긍정적인 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났는데, 매개회귀분석 결과 진정성 지각은 우수성과 유행 반영성 차원에서 부분매개 역할을, 자연성, 일관성, 윤리성 차원에서 완전매개 역할을 함을 파악하였다.
