摘要

過去消費者知覺風險研究主要是以產品為對象，甚少涉及服務方面的知覺風險，在服務比重相對提升的市場趨勢下，服務接觸成為影響服務業中交易成功與否的重要因素，人際互動更是值得探究的焦點。有鑑於此，本研究採用華人社會人際互動的重要概念－關係(Guanxi)，針對人員接觸程度高及以專業知識為基礎的服務消費項目，探討關(Guanxi)如何影響消費者購前風險知覺。研究結果發現：1.關係(Guanxi)能夠降低消費者的購前風險知覺；2.消費者主觀專業知識會調節關係(Guanxi)對消費者知覺風險的影響。本研究結果不僅豐富消費者知覺風險的理論基礎，並指出關係(Guanxi)在服務接觸情境的實務意涵。

Most researches about perceived risk focus on product rather than service. However, service encounter has become a critical factor to successful exchange in service industry, and the interpersonal interaction is worthy of discussion. For this reason, this study adopts the important concept in Chinese interpersonal interaction-Guanxi, and focuses on the high personal-contacted and professional service consumption to examine the effect of Guanxi on perceived risk before purchasing. This study provides two conclusions: 1. Guanxi have negative impact on consumer perceived risk; 2. consumer expertise will moderate the effect of Guanxi on perceived risk.
