Abstract

This study explored the determinants that influence purchase intention in online shopping based on augmented reality applications. The main results are discussed focusing on hypotheses as follows. First, interactivity had a positive effect on psychological ownership. Second, interactivity had a positive effect on decision comfort. Third, psychological ownership had a positive effect on decision comfort. Fourth, psychological ownership had a positive effect on purchase intention. Fifth, decision comfort had a positive effect on purchase intention. Therefore, in online shopping based on augmented reality applications, interaction determines psychological ownership and decision comfort, and psychological ownership and decision comfort can be evaluated as key factors that promote product purchase intention in online shopping. In order to increase purchase intention in online shopping, a marketing strategy is required to increase interactivity, psychological ownership, and decision comfort through augmented reality applications.

본 연구는 증강현실 애플리케이션 기반 온라인쇼핑에서의 구매의도에 영향을 미치는 결정요인을 탐색하였다. 주요 결과에 대해 가설을 중심으로 논의하면 다음과 같다. 첫째, 상호작용성은 심리적 소유감에 정적 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 둘째, 상호작용성은 의사결정 편안함에 정적 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 셋째, 심리적 소유감은 의사결정 편안함에 정적 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 넷째, 심리적 소유감은 구매의도에 정적 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 다섯째, 의사결정 편안함은 구매의도에 정적 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 그러므로 증강현실 애플리케이션 기반 온라인쇼핑에서 상호작용은 심리적 소유감과 의사결정 편안함을 결정하고, 이에 기반하여 심리적 소유감과 의사결정 편안함은 온라인쇼핑에서 제품의 구매의도를 촉진시키는 핵심 요인이라고 평가할 수 있다. 따라서 온라인쇼핑에서 구매의도를 높이기 위해서는 증강현실 애플리케이션을 통해 상호작용성과 심리적 소유감, 의사결정 편안함을 높이는 마케팅 전략이 요구된다고 할 것이다.
