판매원 언어적 메시지의 측면성 효과: 설득지식과 쇼핑목적의 조절효과를 중심으로 = A Study on the Sidedness Effects of Salespersons` Verbal Message: The Moderating Role of Persuasion Knowledge and Shopping Purpose

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

A sidedness effect of the message has been heavily studied in the advertising area. The topic, however, has been relatively ignored in the context of the salesperson who is the primary contact point on the front-line, where the most frequent contact with customers happens. The purpose of this study is to examine sidedness effects of a salesperson`s verbal message and moderating roles of the shopping purpose and persuasion knowledge, after controlling an impact of the salesperson`s attractiveness. Recognizing these phenomena, we proposed differential effects of message type by shopping purpose(purchase / window shopping) and customer persuasion knowledge. Thus, this study examined 1) main effects of salesperson`s verbal message type (one-sided message vs. two-sided message), 2) interaction effects between message type and shopping purpose, and 3) interaction effects between message type and persuasion knowledge. To test these research hypotheses, this study conducted experimental designs. Four hundred ninety-eight undergraduate students were assigned to one of the four experimental groups. Message type and shopping purpose were manipulated as between-subject factors. Five items were used to measure participants` persuasion knowledge. Then participants were classified into high or low group based on their knowledge level to salesperson`s interpersonal marketing persuasion. Dependent variables were attitude toward salesperson and acceptance intention. Referring to prior research, we employed eight items to measure the dependent variables. Seven point Likert-type scales were used to measure the eight items. Hypotheses relating to the dependent variables of attitude toward salesperson and acceptance intention were examined by MANCOVA followed by contrast between treatment groups. The data demonstrate that message types have a significant effect on both attitude toward the salesperson and acceptance intention. In addition, consumers` shopping purpose plays a significant moderating role between the message types and the dependent variables. Furthermore, consumers` persuasion knowledge also shows a moderating effect on the acceptance intention, yet not on the attitude toward the salesperson. The results of this study contribute to the literature as a new attempt to examine the sidedness effect of the message in the sales area. The results of this study suggest various implications for sales encounter by indicating salesperson`s verbal message as an important factor which can enhance customers` positive responses but has been passed over by the previous research. We also indicated the limitations of this study, and suggested the future research directions.
