본 연구는 소비자의 구매의사결정과정에서 외재적 단서 중 브랜드인지도, 원산지이미지, 지각된 가격의 수준(고/저)에 따른 조합일 때 지각된 품질, 지각된 위험, 지각된 가치 및 구매의도에 어떠한 차이가 있는지 알아보았다. 부산광역시와 경상남도에 소재 20곳의 골프 연습장을 선정 후 그 이용객 1,200명을 대상으로 비확률 표본추출법??(non-probability sampling)중 편의표본 추출법(convenience sampling method)을 이용하여 설문조사를 실시하였다. 총 996부의 유효 표본을 자료 분석에 사용하였으며, SPSS WIN 15.0 통계 패키지를 이용하여 탐색적 요인분석(Exploratory factor analysis)과 Cronbach"s a 검증 및 일원분산분석을 실시하였다. 모든 통계적 유의수준은a=.05로 하였고 도출된 가설검증의 결과는 다음과 같다. 첫째, 지각된 품질은 "고 브랜드x고 원산지X고 가격"이 가장 높은 것으로 나타났다. 둘째, 지각된 위험은 "저 브랜드×저 원산지x저 가격’이 가장 높은 것으로 나타났다. 셋째, 지각된 가치는 "고 브랜드x고 원산지×저 가격"에 가장 높은 것으로 나타났다. 넷째, 구매 의도는 지각 된 가치와 통일한 결과로 "고 브랜드×고 원산지×저 가격"이 높게 나타났다.
The purpose of this study was to identify the differences in perceived quality, perceived risk, perceived value, and purchase intention between high and low levels of three extrinsic cues of sporting goods (brand awareness, country-of-origin image, and perceived price). Before the main test stage, two pre-tests were performed. "Ire first pre-test was to determine which the results indicated that the driver of golf clubs was selected for the specific sport product of this study because it represented higher involved product, foreign-preferred product, various brands, and wide price range, comparing with other sporting goods. Second pre-test was employed to determine the manipulation of brand awareness, country-cl-origin image, and perceived price. A sample consisted of actual 40 golfers from a golf driving range. Based on the results of two pre-tests, an experimental research using between-subject factorial design was employed in order to develop eight types of extrinsic cues about selected products (high/low brand awareness x high/low country-of-origin image x perceived price). The questionnaire for this study was disseminated to 1200 golfers from 20 golf driving ranges. 20i questionnaires were excluded because they were rot applicable. There were 9% usable questionnaires (83%). "Ire following was the results of this study. First, the·results indicated that there were statistically significant differences in perceived quality between the levels of brand awareness, country-of-origin image, and perceived price (F = 13.287, p< .001). Second, the results indicated statistically significant differences existed between the levels of brand awareness, country-of-origin image, perceived price on perceived risk (F = 13.287, P < .001). Third, the results indicated that there were statistically significant differences between the levels of brand awareness, country-of-origin image, and perceived price on perceived value (F = 25.346, P < .001). Lastly, the results indicated that there were statistically significant differences between the levels of brand awareness, country-of-origin image, and perceived price on purchase intention (F = 25.346, P < .001). Taken together, based on the results of this study, it led to the conclusion that golf consumers evaluated the golf product in terms of perceive quality, perceived risk and perceived value that were highly associated with the levels of brand awareness, country-of-origin image, and perceived price during the process of decision making for consumption of golf product Specifically, as the golf product reflected high brand awareness, high country-of-origin image, and low perceived price, better evaluation of it from golf consumers was to be appeared. In addition, there was higher intention to buy the golf product, which was represented by high brand awareness, high country-ff-origin image, and low perceived price. "Ire findings of this study will contribute to an extension of the knowledge about the golf consumers" decision-making process of purchasing behavior, The findings also provide golf marketers and managers for meaningful practical applications. Practical implications and several directions for future study of findings are discussed.
