TV홈쇼핑 서비스품질의 관계몰입과 고객충성도에 대한 영향 -패션제품을 중심으로-

Abstract

TV home shopping maintains annual growth in the midst of harsh competition by numerous fashion retail channels. This study investigated the dimensions of service quality of TV home shopping for fashion products as well as the effect of service quality on relationship commitment and customer loyalty. Questionnaires were distributed to consumers in their 20s to 40s who purchased fashion products via TV home shopping in the past 6 months. A total of 240 questionnaires were put into the analysis. The results are as follows. First, four dimensions of service quality of TV home shopping were found: convenience, economy, entertainment, and information seeking. Relationship commitment had two dimensions of affective commitment and calculative commitment. Second, the service quality of TV home shopping affected customer loyalty through a relationship commitment. The predictors of affective commitment were entertainment, economy, and information seeking; in addition, those of calculative commitment were economy and entertainment. Third, both affective commitment and calculative commitment predicted customer loyalty to TV home shopping. The affective commitment had more predictive power. The findings show that the service quality of TV home shopping did not directly affect customer loyalty, but they had influence through relationship commitment variables. Entertainment and economy were the most powerful predictors among service quality dimensions.
