Autori: Kang, Jee-Won, Namkung, Young
Zdroj: Journal of Hospitality & Tourism Research; Sep2018, Vol. 42 Issue 7, p1130-1151, 22p
Predmety: SOCIAL responsibility of business, BRAND equity, CONSUMER ethics
Abstrakt: This study investigates the effects of customers’ perceptions of multidimensional corporate social responsibility (philanthropic, ethical, legal, and economic) on brand equity in the restaurant industry, specifically by examining the case of Starbucks in Korea. Furthermore, this study examines whether consumers with a high degree of ethical consumerism form more positive brand equity perceptions of restaurants than other consumers do. The results showed that ethical, legal, and economic aspects of corporate social responsibility had a significant influence on consumers’ perceptions of brand equity, while philanthropic corporate social responsibility did not. The analysis of moderating effects showed that consumers with high levels of ethical consumerism exhibit stronger relationships between economic corporate social responsibility and restaurants’ positive brand equity. Theoretical and managerial implications are discussed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
