Abstract

This study reviews the literature related to the omni-channel and derived structural relationship between experiential perception of omni-channel brand and consumer-brand relational quality. A total of 250 questionnaires were distributed to university students, workers, and consumers in Busan, Korea, who had experience using SSG.com. 210 questionnaires were used for final validation of research model. The hypotheses set in this study was validated through SPSS18.0 and LISREL8.3 based on the research model. The results showed that all hypotheses were accepted, except for 2 hypotheses(Hypothesis 2-3, Hypothesis 2-4). Findings of this study suggest the following:First, the consumer's experience with the omni-channel brand was found to be an important factor influencing consumers' cognitive and emotional responses formed by the transfer effect of experiential factors through senses. Second, the relationship between consumers and the omni-channel brand was found to be an important factor in building attachment and psychological bond through experience and trust for the omni-channel brand. Thus, the results of this study provide the basis for overall understanding of the strategic experiential module (SEMs) for the omni-channel, which recently emerged as a new trend of distribution channel, as well as for managing the spatial environment. Finally, we present the theoretical and practical implications related to consumers' experience and relational perception.

본 연구는 옴니채널과 관련된 기존의 연구를 검토하고, 브랜드 체험과 소비자-브랜드 관계에 대한 문헌고찰을 통해서 옴니채널 브랜드에 대한 체험인식이 소비자-브랜드 관계품질과의 구조적 관계를 도출하였다. 연구모형을 검증하기 위해 부산지역 대학생과 직장인을 대상으로 하여 SSG.닷컴 이용경험이 있는 소비자를 대상으로 전체 250부의 설문지를 배포하여, 최종 210부의 설문이 연구모형 검증을 위해 이용되었다. 연구모형을 토대로 SPSS18.0과 LISREL8.3을 이용하여 가설을 검증한 결과 2개의 가설(가설 2-3, 가설 2-4)을 제외하고 모든 가설이 채택되었다. 이러한 연구 결과는 첫째, 소비자의 옴니 브랜드 체험은 감각(sence)을 통한 체험요인들의 전이효과를 통해 형성된 소비자의 인지적, 감정적 반응이 소비자의 행동에 중요한 요인으로 작용하는 것을 알 수 있다. 둘째, 소비자와 옴니채널 브랜드의 관계형성은 옴니 채널 브랜드에 대한 체험과 신뢰를 통한 애착과 심리적 유대감형성이 중요한 요임임을 알 수 있다. 따라서 본 연구결과는 최근 유통채널의 새로운 트렌드인 옴니채널에 대한 전략적 체험모듈(SEMs)과 공간 환경(Spatial Environment)관리에 대한 전반적인 이해 및 소비자 경험 및 관계적 인식과 관련된 이론적 및 실무적인 시사점을 제공할 수 있다.
