本研究旨在探討消費者購買國際知名品牌時,不同參考團體與品牌忠 誠度及從眾行為的關聯性,並探討品牌忠誠度與從眾行為兩者之關聯性。 本研究採問卷調查法,使用的工具為「品牌忠誠度與從眾行為之調查問 卷」。針對北部百貨公司消費者進行抽樣,共發放225 份問卷,實際有效 樣本為206 份,問卷回收率為90.35%。為暸解研究結果,研究中運用描述 性統計、獨立樣本T 檢定、單因子變異數分析、卡方檢定、皮爾森相關係 數及逐步多元回歸等統計方法。根據研究分析結果,本研究主要發現如下: 1.不同年齡之消費者在從眾行為上有顯著差異; 2.參考群體中以「同儕團體」對於品牌忠誠度的影響性最大; 3.品牌忠誠度及從眾行為各構面關聯性為低至中度正相關; 4.品牌忠誠度以「影響性因素」構面對從眾行為最具預測效果。 根據以上研究結果提出具體建議,以供未來研究者及行銷人員之參考。

The coded data are analyzed using Descriptive Statistics, TTests, One-Way ANOVA, Chi-Square, Pearson’s Correlation and Regression Analysis statistical tools. The result is concluded as follows: 1. Consumers’ “Conformity Behavior” vary with Age. 2. “Peer Group” has main effect on consumers’ “Conformity Behavior”. 3. Respective dimensions of “Brand Loyalty” and “Conformity Behavior” are separately related to each other ranging from low to middle degrees. 4.
