컨벤션센터 방문객의 다른 고객들의 지각이브랜드 고급화 형성에 미치는 영향: 체면민감성의 조절효과

Abstract

The purpose of this research was to examine the role of three types of other-customers’ perceptions in the context of the convention centers with regards to brand prestige. It was hypothesized that brand prestige can result in two managerial outcomes: brand identification and brand loyalty. During the theory-building process, face-consciousness was assumed to moderate the relationship between other-customer perceptions, and brand prestige. To access the research hypotheses, data were collected from 279 visitors to BEXCO, a convention center. The results showed that three types of other- customer perceptions positively affected brand prestige, and can thus aid to enhance brand identification and brand loyalty. Lastly, it was found that face-consciousness played an important moderating role in the relationship between other-customer perceptions and brand prestige. These results reveal that operators need to focus on brand prestige as a key for operational strategies in the context of convention centers.
