소비자와의 소통을 위한 온라인 커뮤니티의 중요성이 점차 강조됨에 따라, 이용자의 참여를 증진시키고 성공적으로 커뮤니티를 운영하기 위해서는 관리자의 역할에 대한 이해와 세분화된 운영 전략 도출이 필요하다. 본 연구에서는 온라인 커뮤니티 이용자 참여를 소극적 참여와 적극적 참여의 두 가지 유형으로 분류하고, 관리자로서의 전략적 참여 요소가 어떻게 이용자 참여에 차별적으로 영향을 주는지 살펴보았다. 구체적으로, 관리자가 가시적으로 존재하는 대학별 대나무 숲 데이터를 활용하였으며, 상관관계를 반영하여 보다 효율적인 추정이 가능한 SUR(Seemingly Unrelated Regression; 겉보기 무관 회귀분석) 모형을 적용해 실증적으로 검증하였다. 분석 결과, 관리자의 직접적인 커뮤니티 참여는 이용자의 소극적 참여와 적극적 참여 모두에 긍정적인 영향을 주는 것으로 나타났다. 한편, 관리자가 간접적인 커뮤니티 참여의 일환으로 게시글 및 댓글을 관리함에 있어, 게시글에 포함된 감성 단어의 수는 이용자의 소극적 참여에 긍정적인 영향을 주지만 적극적인 참여에는 오히려 부정적인 영향을 주는 것으로 나타났다. 또한, 게시글의 감성과 극성이 일치하는 댓글이 상단에 노출된 경우, 이용자의 소극적 참여가 증진되었다. 본 연구는 온라인 커뮤니티 이용자 참여에 영향을 주는 요인에 대한 실증 분석을 통해 관련 이해의 확장에 기여하고 이를 토대로 커뮤니티 관리자의 역할 및 운영 전략의 방향을 제시한다는 점에서 이론적 의미와 실천적 의미를 지닌다.

Seeded marketing campaign (SMC) is a newly created type of marketing activities with the widespread use of social media. Previous research has examined to find out the optimal seeding strategy that yields the best outcome from the campaign. This research explores the relationships between the characteristics of the seeded influencer and user engagement. The data consists of information from 1062 seeded Instagram posts posted in September 2020 in Korea and 778 seeded influencers who posted those contents. Analyzed by negative binomial regression, our quadratic model suggests that the relationship between user engagement and the number of followers of the seeded influencer draws an inverted U-shape, indicating influencers with greater number of followers may not always be the best choice for the marketers. Moreover, this research shows that the negative marginal impact coming from the huge number of followers can be attenuated when the influencer is an expert of the seeded product.

Social media platforms have become prominent channels for e-commerce, and the role of social network sites' (SNS) content marketing is expanding as a strategic marketing communication approach to attract and retain consumers and increase sales. In this study, we focused on South Korea market and explored the influence of linguistic complexity and informality on consumer engagement. In particular, we identified the importance of complexity, focusing on its negative effects, as well as the moderating effect of commerce features to minimize these effects. Specifically, content length, hashtags, long words, and average sentence length significantly and negatively impacted consumer engagement. The influence of emojis, an informality variable, was not statistically significant. Shoppable tags, a commerce feature that provides both advertising explicitness and shopping convenience, were a moderating factor in the influence of complexity. Our findings provide new insights for content marketing researchers, and have practical implications for social media managers and content developers.

Purpose: To better understand the benefits and harms of engagement with online pediatric liver disease communities within social media. Methods: We conducted a survey of caregivers of children with liver disease participating in online pediatric liver disease communities within social media, as well as a survey of healthcare providers (e.g., physicians, surgeons, nurse coordinators) from this field to better understand the perceived benefits and harms of participation. Results: Among 138 caregivers of children with liver disease that completed the survey, 97.8% agreed social media was a good place to learn about patient experiences and 88% agreed it was a good source of general information. Among caregivers, 84.8% agreed social media helps them to better advocate for their child. While 18% agreed that the information over social media was equal to the information from their healthcare team and 19% neither agreed/disagreed, only 3% indicated they would use this information to change care without telling their provider; in contrast, among 217 healthcare providers, 55% believed social media may lead caregivers to change management without telling their team. Conclusion: Engagement with online disease-specific communities in social media yields several benefits for caregivers and, in contrast to healthcare providers' concerns, participation is unlikely to lead to problems including caregivers changing the treatment plan without first discussing these plans with their team. Openness between caregivers and medical teams about the role for social media can help to improve trust and maximize the potential benefits of engagement with these groups.

본 연구는 HMD 가상현실 광고를 경험한 사용자가 현존감(인지적, 감성적, 미디어 현존감)과 인게이지먼트 수준에 따라 광고태도와 기억 효과에 어떠한 차이가 나타나는지를 실증적으로 살펴보았다. 특히 기억 효과의 경우 사용자가 광고를 통해 기억 하는 정보를 '개별적인 속성 기억정보(ARM: Attribute-Related Memory)'와 '종합적인 평가 기억정보(GRM: Global-Related Memory)'로 구분하여 연구를 진행하였다. 연구결과, 첫째, HMD 기반 가상현실 광고에 대한 태도는 현존감의 유형에 상관없이 모두 긍정적인 태도를 형성하였다. 둘째, 가상현실 광고에서는 인게이지먼트 수준이 낮으면 제품 속성 중심의 정보들을 기억하는 ARM이 증가하나 반대로 인게이지먼트 수준이 높으면 제품에 대한 태도 중심의 평가적 정보에 대한 기억인 GRM이 증가하는 것으로 나타났다. 셋째, 인지적 현존감과 미디어 현존감은 모두 인게이지먼트 수준이 낮으면 ARM이 GRM보다 많이 기억하는 것으로 나타났다. 향후 연구에서는 연구의 일반화를 위해 피험자 수를 늘리고 가외 변인을 줄일 수 있는 실험물 조작이 요구된다.

Purpose: Social Network Sites(SNS) have been grown up as a public communication channel consumer frequently participate in. Most of food service brands are utilizing social media for advertising recently. As a result of SNS marketing, food service brands anticipate positive outputs from SNS engagement and consumer brand engagement so that we need to verify structural relationship among SNS characteristics, SNS engagement and consumer brand engagement. Research design, data, and methodology: This study identifies that SNS characteristics have effects on SNS engagement and examines relationship between SNS engagement and behavioral engagement. We conceptualize SNS characteristics as information quality, hedonic level and interaction. Furthermore, SNS engagement is composed of SNS participation, positive word of mouth(WOM). In order to verify the purposes of this research, research model and hypotheses were developed. All constructs were measured with multiple items developed and tested in the previous studies. Sample data were collected from 433 online survey panels and analyzed by using SmartPLS 3.2.9. Result: The findings of this research are as follows. First, information quality is positively related with SNS participation. Hedonic level and interaction have impacts on SNS participation and positive WOM respectively. Second, SNS participation has positive effects on positive WOM. Third, both SNS participation and WOM influence behavioral engagement respectively. Conclusions: The implications demonstrate that SNS characteristics such as information quality and hedonic level and interaction exert effects for consumer to participate in SNS brand page. Meanwhile, hedonic level and interaction influence on positive WOM but information quality doesn't. SNS participation and positive WOM affect consumer to engage in specific brand behaviorally as well. Therefore, food service brand marketer is required to manage SNS information quality and hedonic level and interaction among members to encourage SNS participation and positive WOM. As SNS participation and positive WOM increases behavioral engagement of consumer, marketer needs to incentivize SNS participation and look after situation of positive WOM and respond swiftly.

With the rapid spread of social media, video-sharing social media like YouTube has emerged as a consumption and distribution channel for entertainment goods such as music videos and movie trailers. In tourism research, there has been a lot of research of how the visual media such as movies and soap operas induced tourism. However, no studies have attempted to examine the role of social media as a music consumption channel and its impact on tourism. Expanding a body of media-induced tourism, we analysed the impact of video-sharing social media on music-induced tourism with a case of Korean pop music and inbound tourism to Korea. Developing a Web-crawler, we collected YouTube users' comments data on 166 Korean pop music video clips which were released from 2009 to 2012 with over 1 million view counts. Controlling many of the determinants of tourism and analysing country-by-country impact of YouTube comments with the panel data, we found that engagement of Korean pop music video clips on YouTube is a significant predictor for the flow of inbound tourists to Korea.

Political weblogs are as diverse as political viewpoints are. In the period of Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra, several political crises occurred, such as opposition to the Amnesty Act, the constitutional amendment, and the anti-government protests. Remarkably, during this time, social media were used as a platform for political expressions. This study employed a content analysis method to explore twenty-nine Thai political weblogs established during the period of Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra's administration. At the time, the most prominent Thai political weblogger was Nidhi Eawsriwong. Not surprisingly, the Pheu Thai Party and the Democrat Party were the most frequently appearing political parties in these weblog's posts. Most contents in these posts were related to government protesters by the People's Democratic Reform Committee (PDRC) and the coup d'état. The purposes of writing such weblogs were to express feelings and thoughts about Thai politics and to provide political information to the general public. The findings from this investigation revealed two significant uses of Thai political weblogs: the communication media for political expressions and viewpoints (a safe online space for political engagement and participation), and vital sources for Thai political information and news (social narratives).
