Abstract

This study empirically analyzes casual relationships among psychological and financial factors influencing the subscription of individual pension and identifies mediation effect by the structural equation model. The analysis based on survey data (N=928) from common people living in the seven major cities in Korea shows that potential longevity, coping efficacy to the financial risks from longevity, subjective knowledge on longevity (cognitive factor), trust in insurers (social factor), and financial literacy(financial factor) are key players exercising direct influence over the subscription of individual pension. It also has been shown that affect on longevity, potential longevity, trust in government, and coping efficacy influence the emotions on longevity, fear and worry, and emotions on longevity are not significant in explaining the subscription of individual pension. Trust in insurers and financial knowledge of prospects have also been reaffirmed to be crucial factors in the activation of individual pension subscription.

본 연구는 구조방정식모형 (SEM)을 활용하여 개인연금의 가입에 영향을 주는 심리요인들 간의 인과관계와 장수정서의 매개효과를 실증하고자 하였다. 전국 7대 도시에 거주하는 928명의 일반인을 대상으로 실시한 설문자료를 활용하여 분석하였다. 실증분석 결과 개인연금의 가입에는 장수가능성, 대처효용성, 장수지식 (인지요인), 보험사 신뢰 (사회요인), 금융이해력 (금융요인)이 직접적으로 영향을 주었다. 장수감정, 장수가능성, 국가신뢰, 대처효용성이 장수정서 (두려움과 걱정)에 영향을 주었으나, 장수정서를 매개로 하여 개인연금 가입에는 영향을 주지 못하였다. 본 연구를 통해 보험사에 대한 고객의 신뢰도와 잠재고객의 금융지식수준을 높이는 것이 개인연금의 판매활성화에 중요한 요인임을 재확인하였다. 장수할 가능성을 높게 생각하는 사람들이 개인연금을 가입한다는 사실은 연금보험시장에서도 역선택 가능성이 높음을 보여주었다.
