Abstract

This study focuses on the individual characteristics of consumers and creating shared value in relation to recent increasing value consumption. Specifically, it was intended to verify what socio-psychological variables of consumers affect value congruency and product purchase intentions in relation to cosmetics products based on creating shared value activities. In order to verify hypothesis, an online survey was conducted, and the main and mediate effects of the variables were verified through SPSS' Process Macro method. As a result of empirical analysis, the higher the ethical identity, altruism, and consumer effectiveness, the higher the value congruency. Altruism and consumer effectiveness had a positive impact on purchase intentions. We also find that value congruency has a significant mediating effect on the effect of socio-psychological variables on purchase intention. The results of this study provide practical values and implications for companies' need to emphasize consumers' consumption behavior as it can have a significant positive impact on society. It also suggests the importance of finding out what values consumers seek. In other words, this study can provide strategic implications for public relations plans when performing marketing activities by utilizing the values pursued by CSV in companies. Future research will provide strategic implications for promotional measures when marketing is carried out if the consumer's segment is further refined to verify the effectiveness of creating shared value.

본 연구는 최근 증가하고 있는 가치 소비와 관련하여 소비자들의 개별적 특성과 윤리적 기업 활동인 공유가치창출에 주목하였다. 이에 공유가치창출 활동 기반의 화장품 제품과 관련하여 소비자들의 어떠한 사회심리학적 성향이 가치일치성과 제품 구매의도에 영향을 미치는지를 검증하고자 했다. 가설 검증을 위해 온라인 설문조사를 실시하였으며, SPSS의 Process Macro 방법을 통해 변인들의 주효과와 매개효과를 검증하였다. 실증 분석 결과, 주요 예측변인인 윤리적 정체성, 이타주의, 소비자 효과성이 높을수록 가치일치성이 높아졌다. 구매의도에는 이타주의와 소비자 효과성이 긍정적인 영향을 미쳤다. 또한 사회심리학적 변인이 구매의도에 미치는 영향에 가치일치성이 유의미한 매개효과를 보이는 것을 확인하였다. 본 연구의 결과는 소비자들의 소비행동이 사회에 유의미한 긍정적 영향을 미칠 수 있음을 기업이 강조할 필요가 있다는 실무적 시사점을 제공한다. 또한 소비자가 추구하는 가치가 무엇인지를 규명하는 것의 중요성을 제시한다. 즉, 본 연구는 기업에서 공유가치창출이 추구하는 가치를 활용하여 마케팅 활동을 수행할 때 홍보 방안에 대한 전략적 시사점을 제공해 줄 수 있을 것이다. 향후 연구에서는 소비자의 영역을 더욱 세분화하여 공유가치창출 효과성을 검증한다면, 마케팅 수행 시 홍보 방안에 대한 전략적인 시사점을 제공해 줄 수 있을 것이다.
