소비자 욕구충족성과 스타 속성이 스타브랜드 애착과 후원브랜드에 대한 소비자반응에 미치는 영향 = The Influence of Consumer Need Satisfaction and Star Traits on Consumer Attachment to Star Brand and Consumer Response to Product Brand Sponsored by Star Brand

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

This study is based on recent advances in celebrity traits and self-determination researches to address how consumers develop the strong attachment to a “star brand,” and the effect of consumer's attachment to star brand on evaluation of product brand sponsored by the star.
We use the consumers’ need satisfaction and star traits as major causal factors that influence consumer's attachment to a star brand. Specifically this article uses autonomy need, relatedness need, competence need as the dimensions of need satisfaction and expertness, trustworthiness, likeability, and similarity as the key star traits.
The purpose of this study is to investigate the influence of these factors on the consumer's attachment to star brand and how consumer's evaluation of product brand sponsored by star is moderated by the fitness level of between the image of star brand and the image of sponsored product brand.
To collect the data, survey was taken in a University located in Incheon. Collected data are analysed using SPSS 15.0 and AMOS 7.0.
The results show that when the star brand is perceived as more trustworthy and likeable, and satisfies autonomy need and relatedness need, the consumer is more likely to become strongly attached to him or her. The hypothesis that consumer's attachment to star brand will have the positive influence on the evaluation of product brand sponsored by star is supported. And hypothesis that consumer's attitude to a sponsored product brand is moderated by the fitness level of between the image of star brand and the image of sponsored product brand is also supported. The empirical results imply that star brand to which consumers are attached may have the significant positive impact on the consumers' evaluation process of endorsed product brand and purchase behavior, and that marketers should consider need dimensions which target consumers want to satisfy and the fitness level of between the image of star brand being considered as endorser and the image of product brand .

국문 초록 (Abstract)

본 연구는 매스미디어를 통해 흔히 접할 수 있는 스타를 마케팅 커뮤니케이션을 통해 자산적 가치를 구축하려는 브랜드의 한 유형으로 보고, 소비자가 스타브랜드와 관계를 구축/유지하는 과정에서 나타나는 정서적 애착의 선행요인과 그 효과를 분석하는데 그 목적이 있다. 스타브랜드 애착의 영향요인으로 소비자 욕구와 스타의 특성을 제시하고, 이들이 스타브랜드 애착에 미치는 영향력을 살펴보고 스타브랜드에 대한 소비자의 애착이 후원브랜드에 대한 반응에 미치는 효과와 그 과정에서 스타브랜드와 제품의 이미지적합성 정도에 따라 소비자의 반응이 어떻게 조절되는가를 알아보았다. 스타특성으로는 전문성, 진실성, 호감성, 유사성을 제시하고, 소비자 욕구충족성의 유형으로는 자율성(autonomy) 욕구충족성, 관계성(relatedness) 욕구충족성, 능력(competence) 욕구충족성을 사용하였다. 실증분석 결과 스타특성요인에서는 진실성과 호감성이, 소비자 욕구충족성에서는 자율성 욕구충족성과 관계성 욕구충족성이 스타브랜드에 대한 애착에 정(+)의 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 스타브랜드 애착은 후원브랜드에 대한 소비자의 호의적 태도에 정(+)의 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났고, 스타브랜드와 후원브랜드 제품 간의 적합성 정도가 소비자의 태도형성에 조절적 효과를 갖는 것을 확인하였다.
본 연구는 스타브랜드 애착의 원인을 규명하고 스타브랜드가 후원하는 제품브랜드에 대한 소비자 반응을 이해함으로써 강력한 소비자-브랜드 관계를 형성/강화하는데 효과적인 접근방법을 제공했다는데 의의를 찾을 수 있다.
