Abstract

The strong demand for corporate social responsibility has led to growing consumer boycotts of corporate misconduct. Although there are differences over the legality of the boycott, it is important to develop the boycott in an effective and correct way because of its positive effects in terms of consumer rights and society. This study identified the factors and their influences on the intention of continuing and stopping boycotts when the boycott was becoming popular. In addition, in accordance with the duration(low/high) and intensity(low/high) of consumer boycott participation, the relative influence of antecedent factors on the continuous and discontinuous intention of boycotts was examined. A total of 272 questionnaires were collected from consumers currently participating in the boycott and analyzed. The analysis showed that the preceding factors had discriminatory effects on the intention of continuing and stopping the boycott, and the effects of the preceding factors on the intention of continuing and stopping the boycott were different depending on the duration and intensity of the boycott. Based on the research results, this study suggested implications, limitations, and future research directions.

기업의 사회적 책임이 강하게 요구됨에 따라 기업의 부당행위에 대한 소비자 불매운동이 증가하고 있다. 불매운동의 합법성에 대해 이견이 있으나, 소비자 권익 및 사회적 측면에서 긍정적인 효과가 크기 때문에 불매운동을 효과적이고 올바른 방향으로 발전시키는 것이 중요하다. 본 연구는 불매운동이 대중화되어 가는 시점에서 불매운동의 지속 및 중단의도에 영향을 미치는 요인과 이들의 영향력을 파악하고자 하였다. 또한 불매운동 참여기간(저/고) 및 강도(저/고)에 따라 선행요인이 불매운동 지속 및 중단의도에 미치는 상대적인 영향을 살펴보았다. 현재 불매운동에 참여 중인 소비자를 대상으로 총 272부의 설문지를 수집하고 분석하였다. 분석 결과, 선행요인은 불매운동 지속 및 중단의도에 차별적인 영향을 미쳤으며, 선행요인은 참여기간 및 강도에 따라 불매운동 지속 및 중단의도에 상이한 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구는 연구결과를 바탕으로 시사점과 한계점 및 향후연구방향을 제시하였다.
