Abstract

The purpose of this study was to identify the influence of consumption value on healthy functional food choice. Also, this study explored the role of health motivation, health concern, and food involvement as a moderating variable in the relationship between consumption value and healthy functional food choice. A total of 281 responses were collected using on-site survey (response rate 96.0%) from college students in Daegu, Gyeoungbuk Province. The questionnaire contained questions on consumption value, health motivation, health concern, food involvement, and purchasing intention of healthy functional food. The respondents rated the items using a 5-point scale from 1 (strongly disagree) to 5 (strongly agree). According to the confirmatory factor analysis, item evaluating using factor loading resulted in the retention of 25 consumption value items loading on seven factors, four health motivation items loading one factor, six health concern items loading on one factor, and four food involvement items loading on one factor with an internal consistency. Results of stepwise regression found that social value-I, emotional, functional, epistemic, and conditional values among consumption value determined the purchasing intention of healthy functional food. Results of hierarchical regression showed that health concern had a positive effect on the relationship between social value-I and purchasing intention of healthy functional food.

본 연구는 건강기능식품 구매의도에 대한 소비가치의 영향력을 파악하고, 이 관계에서 건강동기, 건강염려, 식품몰입과 같은 개인의 개성과 관련된 특성들의 조절효과를 규명하는 것을 목적으로 하였다. 본 연구 결과에 대한 요약은 다음과 같다. 각 측정개념들의 요인분석 결과, 소비가치는 7개의 요인으로 추출되었으며 건강동기, 건강염려, 식품몰입은 각각 1개씩의 요인으로 추출되었다. 각 구성개념들의 신뢰도는 소비가치 중에서 기능적 가치 요인의 경우 .886, 감정적 가치는 .904, 인식적 가치는 .813, 사회적 가치 I는.734, 상황적 가치는 .872, 사회적 가치 II와 III는 각각 .600과 .576이었고, 건강동기의 신뢰도는 .883, 건강염려의 신뢰도는 .834, 식품몰입의 신뢰도는 .883으로 나타나 내적일관성을 확보하였다. 단계적 회귀분석을 통한 소비가치가 건강기능식품의 구매의도에 미치는 영향력 분석에서 사회적 가치(${\beta}=.161$), 감정적 가치(${\beta}=.293$), 기능적 가치(${\beta}=.328$), 인식적 가치(${\beta}=.290$), 상황적 가치(${\beta}=.196$)가 통계적으로 유의한 영향변수들(F=37.582, p<.001)인 것으로 나타났으며, 이 다섯 개의 변수로 이루어진 회귀모형의 설명력은 41.4%였다. 위계적 회귀분석을 통한 조절효과 분석에서 건강염려만이 소비가치 중 사회적 가치 I(SV-I)와 건강기능식품의 구매의도의 관계에서 조절작용이 있는 것으로(F=4.409, p<0.05) 나타났다. 건강기능식품 구매의도에 대해 1단계에 투입된 사회적 가치 I의 $R^2$(.017)와 2단계에 투입된 건강염려 변수의 ${\Delta}R^2$(.025)이 유의적이었으며, 독립변수인 사회적 가치 I와 조절변수인 건강염려와의 상호작용항(SV I * HC)이 투입된 3단계의 ${\Delta}R^2$(.015)도 통계적으로 유의한 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구는 건강기능식품의 구매 및 선택 과정에 대한 소비자 측면의 실증적 연구로서, 이상의 연구결과들은 건강기능식품 구매에 영향을 미치는 변수들을 이용하여 보다 효율적인 건강기능식품 소비자 마케팅 전략 확립에 도움이 될 수 있는 자료를 제공할 수 있다는 점에서 의의가 있다. 또한 식품선택과 관련한 연구영역에서 소비가치 개념의 적용가능성을 확인하였으므로 향후 건강기능식품 및 다양한 식품의 선택 및 구매에 대한 연구에 소비가치 개념이 이용될 수 있을 것이다. 건강염려 변수와 같은 식품관련 개성 특성들이 건강기능식품 구매의도에 조절작용을 갖는 변수임을 확인한 점은 향후 보다 다양한 개성 관련 식품 특성들의 영향력에 대하여 연구할 수 있는 계기로 작용할 것이다. 그리고 본 연구의 결과에서 확립된 회귀모형을 이용하여 실제 건강기능식품 구매 집단과 비구매 집단별 적합성을 향후 연구에서 판별 함수로 검증한다면 본 회귀모형이 보다 정확하게 식품 선택 연구 모형에 적용될 수 있을 것이다. 그러나 본 연구의 지역적 한정성과 연구대상자의 연령층이 대학생으로 제한된 점은 향후 연구에서 보완되어야 할 것이다.
