본 연구는 농촌 리얼리티쇼 팬들의 형성 요인을 분석한다. 관객이 리 얼리티쇼를 더 진정성 있게 판단할수록 더 많은 사람들이 좋아하며, 새 로운 미디어 시대에 관객 참여는 리얼리티쇼의 중요한 부분이다. 이 연 구는 인지된 진정성(perceived authenticity)과 관객 참여가 농촌 리얼 리티쇼 팬 형성에 미치는 영향을 분석하는 방법을 사용한다. 연구 결과에 따르면 농촌 리얼리티쇼 팬 형성 요소를 향상시키기 위해서는 출연자의 개성(cast members eccentricity)을 강화하고, 대표성(representativeness)을 낮추며, 출연자의 솔직함(candidness)을 높이고, 제작자의 조작(producer manipulation)을 줄이며, 관객 참여(audience involvement)를 증가시켜야 한다. 본 연구는 <농사짓자>라는 사례를 바탕으로 농촌 리얼리티쇼의 팬 형성을 촉진하는 관련 조치를 정리하여 한국과 중국에서 자체 개발한 오 리지널 리얼리티쇼 제작에 대한 참고 자료를 제공하며, 다른 유형의 리 얼리티쇼 팬 형성 요소에 대한 이론적 연구의 기초를 마련한다.

본 연구는 의료미용을 위한 상담 시 병원코디네이터와 만나는 접점에서 지각된 진정성이 공감 과 커뮤니케이션, 재방문 의도에 미치는 효과를 검증하는데 목적이 있다. 자료수집은 상담을 경험한 고객을 선정하여 설문조사를 실시하였고, 통계분석은 SPSS 21.0을 사용하였다. 연구 결과는 첫째, 병원코디네이터에 대한 지각된 진정성은 공감과 커뮤니케이션 만족도에 긍정적인 영 향을 미쳤으며, 공감은 커뮤니케이션 만족도에 정의 영향을 주었다. 둘째 공감과 커뮤니케이션 만족도는 재방문 의도에 정의 영향을 주는 것으로 나타났다. 병원코디네이터의 진정성 있는 상담은 공감을 형성하여 커뮤니케이션 만족도가 높아지고 병원을 다시 방문하는 결과로 이어진다. 따라서 단순히 매출 향상이나 직무에 의해 만들어진 상담이 아니라 고객을 배려한 진정성과 공감을 통한 커뮤니케이션이 이루어진다면 신뢰를 형성할 수 있으며 장기적으로 의료 미용 기관의 성과에도 기여할 수 있을것이다.

The market for counterfeit luxury goods is growing rapidly, with estimates suggesting that counterfeit trades are valued at around $4.5 trillion globally, with 60% to 70% of this being made up of counterfeit luxury goods. Research has shown that counterfeits dilute the perceived quality of luxury brands and reduce consumers' purchase intentions. Non-fungible tokens (NFTs) are a form of ownership record that is linked and stored on a blockchain.

The purpose of this research is to explore the factors that affect a celebrity’s perceived authenticity on social media sites. In total, 653 Taiwanese consumers were recruited to examine the proposed model. The findings generally support our model. The theoretical and managerial implications of this study are discussed.

There is a variety of mobile beauty application specialized services providing information, such as reports on the advantages and disadvantages of a product, as well as tips and recommendations, based on consumers' comments for products that demand much consultation on the part of the consumers to critique the products. From goods purchased through mobile shopping apps, beauty-related products come right after fashion/retail and food/health-related goods, while promotions, followed by review/comments, are known as influential factors when selecting mobile shopping apps. Consumer reviews about a product are seen as important instruments for obtaining a variety of information about a product for those consumers who have not yet used it. Moreover, there is an increasing interest in authentic information instead of purely advertised narrations, while studies are actively in progress to verify the effectiveness of consumer reviews according to their nature and direction. The results vary with each researcher and since online consumer reviews differ, there is a need to research dynamically blended reviews and the forms that they take. Accordingly, this study attempts to observe and identify the factors that affect the perceived authenticity of the information, brand attitude, purchase intention and electronic word-of-mouth (e-WOM). The sample consists of 110 respondents in their twenties and thirties who have purchased beauty products online. The respondents were given online and offline questionnaires, and the collected information was analyzed with SPSS 21.0 and AMOS 18.0 using factor analysis, reliability analysis, t-tests, structural equation modeling (SEM) and multi-group analysis. The results show that perceived information authenticity has a significant influence on brand attitude, purchase intention and e-WOM. Positive, negative and subjective evaluations have more significant impact on information authenticity than did only positive and negative reviews, while perceived authenticity has significant relevance to brand attitude, purchase intention and online word-of-mouth. The implications of these findings

Support from the private sector, for example by firms, has been solicited to ease tourist attraction financial constraints and to help their restoration and maintenance out of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) activities (United Nations, 2010; Europanostra, 2013). When engaging in these partnerships, firms may display different level of altruistic motivation. For example, the Italian fashion company Tod’s demonstrated high altruism by agreeing to restore the Colosseum without any economic or financial return. American Express, however, sought promotional rights when the firm agreed to contribute to the restoration of the Statue of Liberty. Finally, the ticketing agency Eventim renamed the Hammersmith Apollo (now Eventim Apollo) in London following their involvement in the restoration, thus pursuing more strategic, rather than altruistic goals. Non-altruistic goals and the fear that the involvement of a company may generate scepticism in visitors, as they could perceive the authentic image of a tourist attraction to be jeopardized. Managers of tourist attractions are faced with a dilemma: should they seek financial support from third parties (e.g. firms), or would this compromise the appeal of the site, leading to a drop in the number of visitors? In order to address this problem, we conducted two experiments to examine how firms' involvement in restorations affects tourist attractions. We found that firms' altruistic motivations (that denotes the support of a cause without demanding anything in return) are positively associated with tourists' intentions to visit the attraction (Study 1). Moreover, we found that this relationship is mediated by visitors’ perceived authenticity, in other words the belief that the real aspect of the site has not been irreversibly altered. We confirm the robustness of our findings in Study 2, additionally showing how this effect is stronger in the case of heritage sites compared to non-heritage sites. To the best of our knowledge, our results are among the first to show how a lack of altruism in CSR activities can negatively affect the target of the campaign (in this particular case a tourist attraction). Results also suggest managers of tourist attractions with high heritage value to assess the altruistic motives of the firm carefully before engaging in a financial partnership.
