본 연구에서는 화장품 로드샵이 많이 있는 명동쇼핑거리, 강남쇼핑거리, 이대쇼핑거리를 방문한 여성소비자를 대상으로 자 외선차단제 중 선호도가 증가하고 있는 선쿠션 제품에 대해 연령과 결혼여부에 따른 선택속성을 조사하였다. 연구수행을 위해 제품 구입 시 고려요인 6개 (‘사용감’, ‘자외선차단지수’, ‘용기디자인’, ‘편리성’, ‘브랜드’, ‘가격’)를 선정하여 각 요인에 대한 중요도를 측정하였다. 조사결과, 연령별로 ‘자외선차단지수’와 ‘용기디자인’, ‘브랜드’에서 차이가 존재하는 것으로 나타났으며, 이중 ‘용기디자인’ 항목에서는 20대에서 가장 높게 나타났고 30대와 40대로 갈수록 평균값이 낮아지는 것으로 나타났으나 6개 요인 전체와 비교해봤을 때 높은 평균값을 보여주었다. 이는 최근 뜨거운 열풍을 불러일으키는 아이돌의 이미지와 신뢰도를 구축한 인기 캐릭터를 선큐션 용기에 접목한 캐릭터 콜라보레이션이 젊은 세대뿐 아니라 청장년층에게도 어릴 적 추억을 떠올리고 세대를 이어주는 매개 역할을 하고 있음을 보여주고 있으며, 기업은 경쟁력 확보를 위해 기능성 중심의 제품개발에서 소비자들의 관심과 흥미를 끌어올 수 있는 용기디자인 중심의 제품개발에도 힘써야 함을 시사하고 있다. 한편, 결혼여부에 따라서는 ‘자외선차단지수’와 ‘가격’에서 차이가 존재하는 것으로 조사되었다. 상기 연구결과를 통해 연령과 결혼여부에 따른 고객의 선호도와 요구 성능을 반영한 제품개발 및 디자인 구상과 이에 따른 실질적인 마케팅 전략 수립에 유용한 자료를 제시하고자 한다.

스마트폰 등 모바일 기기를 통한 SNS가 보편화 되면서, IT와 네트워크의 결합으로 인한 ‘스마트 관광’이 급속하게 확산되고 있으며 미식관광에 있어서도 SNS의 영향력은 절대적이라 할 수 있다. 따라서 SNS를 통한 미식상품 정보의 전파와 내용은 사용자간 실시간 공유 및 연결, 댓글 또는 방문 참여라는 생산자적 소비자의 소통구조로 이루어져 있어 그만큼 정보품질의 중요성이 강조되고 있다. 본 연구의 목적은 미식 관광상품 속성요인을 포함한 SNS 정보품질과 관광지 선택속성이 관광자 만족에 어떠한 영향을 미치는지를 검증하고자 하였다. 연구의 목적을 달성하기 위하여 잠재적인 혹은 경험적인 미식 관광객을 대상으로 설문 조사하였으며, 총 300부의 연구 설문지 중 불성실한 내용 84부를 제외하고 216부를 최종 분석하였다. 분석도구로는 SPSS 25.0을 이용하여 신뢰도 및 요인분석, 상관관계 분석, 다중회귀분석을 하였으며 가설 검정에 대한 분석결과는 다음과 같다. 첫째, SNS 미식상품 정보품질은 관광자 만족에 일부분 유의미한 영향을 미침으로 부분 채택되었고 둘째, 관광지 선택속성은 만족에 유의미한 정(+)의 영향 관계를 형성하였다. 따라서 본 연구의 가설은 부분 채택되었으나, 연구결과에서 미식상품요인과 SNS 정보품질 요인이 만족에 미치는 영향요인이 서로 확연히 다름을 확인할 수 있었고 이에 후속 연구에서는 미식 관광객에게 필요한 미식상품 품질요인변수를 더 다양화할 필요성이 있다.

Purpose - This research examined the effect of hedonic and utilitarian eating-out motivations on the evaluation of restaurant selection attributes in a fashion premium outlet. Additionally, the influence of experimental and functional attributes on customers' preference for hedonic eating-out motives and utilitarian eating-out motives, and variation of moderating effects through the gender was examined. Research design, data, and methodology – A survey was conducted to verify the established research hypothesis. The questionnaire items for the research were modified to fit the situation of the present study. In order to elaborate the questionnaire, the literature of the previous researchers was reviewed and supplemented. The survey conducted 207 online questionnaires for consumers who have visited domestic fashion premium outlets from July 4, 2017 to July 27, 2017. A total of 207 questionnaires were collected, and a total of 206 questionnaires were used for the empirical analysis after excluding one inappropriate response. In order to verify the reliability and validity of the measured variables, exploratory factor analysis and reliability analysis were performed using SPSS 20.0. Next, the structural equation model (SEM) statistical method was used to test the hypotheses of the study. Results - Hedonic motivation had more influence on experimental attribute importance than the functional attribute importance of the restaurant. However, this result was different depending on the gender. The effects of hedonic motives on empirical attributes were more influenced by female groups, and when influencing functional attributes, male groups were more influenced. However, it was statistically significant (p <0.05) in the female group only when the hedonic eating out motives influenced empirical attributes. Conclusions - This study analyzed the effect of eating-out motivation on the restaurant preference attributes and suggested practical implications. First, customers with hedonic eating-out motivations were evaluating experiential attributes to be more important than functional attributes. Second, for customers who are motivated to use practical eating-out habits, companies should provide services that meet practical and economic needs. In particular, female customers visiting restaurants need differentiated marketing strategies that make them feel new experiences rather than practical ones. In addition, it is necessary to study more complex and integrated studies which will influence restaurant selection attributes of premium outlets customers by adding various eating out motives and selection attributes.
