본 연구의 목적은 온라인 의류판매 쇼핑몰 상에서의 충동구매행동과 의류품목/가격간의 관계를 알아보기 위한 것이다. 인터넷 설문지를 통한 데이터 수집을 통해 731부가 본 연구에 사용되었다. 연구결과 충동구매집단이 비충동구매집단보다 셔츠/블라우스와 벨트의 품목을 유의하게 더 많이 구입하는 것으로 나타났으며, 신발을 가장 적게 구입하는 것으로 나타났다. 또한 충동구매집단이 $25 이하의 의류를 비충동구매집단보다 유의하게 더 많이 구입한 것으로 나타나 충동구매행동과 의류품목/가격간의 상관이 있음을 보여주었다.
The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between online apparel impulse buying behavior and product category/price of apparel items. The data were collected using an online survey with a structured questionnaire and a total of 731 responses were retained. Two hypotheses were put forward to test the relationships among the variables. Test of H1 showed that some product categories purchased by the respondents in the impulse purchase group were significantly different from those bought by the non-impulse purchase group. Categories such as shirt/blouse and belt were bought more frequently by the respondents in the impulse purchase group whereas shoes were bought more frequently by those in the non-impulse purchase group. The respondents in the impulse purchase group bought more items that cost less than $25 than those in the non-impulse purchase group. Based on the results, H1 and H2 were supported. From the results of the study, it is concluded that product categories and product price are closely related to the online apparel impulse buying behavior.
