초록

본 연구는 국내 자동차 브랜드 서비스 센터의 서비스 품질이 소비자-브랜드 관계 품질에 미치는 영향과 이 관계에서 브랜드 신뢰의 매개효과를 검증하고, 지각된 제품 품질 수준에 의해 조절된 매개효과를 규명하고자 하였다. 이를 위해 본 연구에서는 최근 6개월 이내에 자신이 소유한 자동차 브랜드의 서비스 센터를 이용한 경험이 있는 소비자를 대상으로 확보한 유효표본 376부를 가설 검증에 활용하였다. 연구결과, 자동차 브랜드 서비스 센터의 서비스 품질은 소비자-브랜드 관계 품질에 미치는 영향이 유의하지 않은 것으로 나타났으나, 브랜드 신뢰를 매개하여 소비자-브랜드 품질에 정(+)의 유의한 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 또한 조절된 매개효과에 대해 검증한 결과, 지각된 제품 품질이 낮은 집단에서 높은 집단보다 브랜드 신뢰의 매개효과가 더욱 큰 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구는 이러한 연구결과를 토대로 소비자-브랜드 관계 품질 개선을 위해 필요한 서비스 센터의 역할과 자동차 서비스 센터의 서비스 품질이 강한 브랜드 구축에 전이되는 과정에 대해 논의하였다.

This study aims to examine the impacts of service quality (SQ) on consumer-brand relationship quality (BRQ), the mediation effects of brand trust (BT) in those relationships and the moderated mediation effects of BT by the level of perceived product quality (PQ). A 376 valid sample was obtained from the consumers who have visited the service centers of automotive brands. The findings demonstrate the direct effects of SQ of the service centers in automotive brands on BRQ are not significant, while the mediation effects of BT between SQ and BRQ are significant. Moreover, the findings reveal that the mediation effects of BT in the lower perception group of PQ are stronger than those in the higher group. Based on these findings, not only the necessary roles of a service center to improve BRQ but also the transferring process from service centers' SQ to building a strong brand are discussed.
