소비자의 감각적 혁신성향과 인지적 혁신성향이 신제품 구매의도에 미치는 이중 경로

국문 초록 (Abstract)

본 연구는 기존 연구들이 단일한 개념으로 인식하고 있던 혁신성향 개념을 인지적 혁신성향과 감각적 혁신성향으로 구분하고 두 유형의 혁신 성향의 정도에 따라 신제품에 대한 소비자의 지각된 위험의 민감성이 다름을 보였다. 이러한 지각된 위험의 유형과 수준의 차이는 각각의 혁신 성향이 소비자의 신제품 구매의도에 있어 서로 다른 영향력이 있음을 보여 줌으로써 혁신성향이 소비자의 신제품 구매의도에 미치는 경로가 이중경로임을 제시하였다.
217명을 대상으로 회귀분석과 공변량 구조 분석을 통하여 실증 분석을 수행한 결과 감각적 혁신성향 보다 인지적 혁신성향이 높을수록 사회적 위험보다 기능적 위험을 더 많이 지각하는 반면 감각적 혁신성향이 높을수록 기능적 위험보다는 사회적 위험을 더 지각하는 것으로 나타났다. 즉, 신제품 구매에 따른 기능적 위험 지각과 사회적 위험 지각이 소비자의 혁신성향의 유형에 따라 다르게 나타남을 제시하였다. 기존 연구에서는 소비자의 혁신성향 개념을 하나의 구성 개념으로 파악하여 신제품 구매의도에 대한 영향 관계를 파악하였으나 본 연구는 감각적 혁신성향과 인지적 혁신성향으로 소비자의 혁신성향을 구분하고 신제품 구매의도와의 관계를 파악하였으며 각각의 혁신성향이 신제품에 대해 인지하는 지각 위험의 경로를 달리함을 밝혔다.

There are many researches about effects of consumer innovativeness on the new product adoption behavior. However most of these studies regard this construct as one dimensional concept so that the extant studies suggest very ambiguous results about the relationship between consumer innovativeness and adoption behavior.
This study subdivides the construct as cognitive innovativeness and sensory one and suggest these two types of consumer innovativeness affect on the risk perception of the potential adopter differently when the consumer adopt new product. In the empirical research through regression analysis and structure equation model with 217 samples, the study shows the consumer who have high level of cognitive innovativeness are more sensitive to functional risk of new products compared to one who have high level of sensory innovativeness. On the other side, sensory innovative consumer perceive social risk more when they adopt new products than cognitive innovator who have higher level of cognitive innovativeness. The result means there are dual paths on the relationship between consumer innovativeness and new products adoption behavior.
Unlike the early studies, this study shows that there’s dual path in relationship between the consumer’s innovativeness and new product adoption. That is the consumer who have higher sensory innovativeness perceive the social risk of new products more sensitively than functional risk but the consumer who have cognitive innovativeness perceive functional risk more. So, new product adoption behavior would be different depending on the sensory or cognitive innovativeness.
