In this study, we examined South Korean residents' travel-related behavioural intention for mainland China post-COVID-19 using an extended model of goal-directed behaviour. To do so, we integrated South Korean residents' perceptions of country image (PCI), mass media, and concerns about travel into the framework of the original model of goal-directed behaviour (MGB). Structural equation modelling was used to identify the structural relationships among the latent variables. The results show that mass media had a positive influence on South Korean residents' perception of China's image, a negative influence on residents' concerns, and a positive influence on residents' behavioural intentions for travel overseas. Meanwhile, PCI had a positive influence on residents' attitude towards travel overseas. The theoretical and practical implications of the study are discussed.
在这项研究中,我们使用目标导向行为的扩展模型,考察了韩国居民在 COVID-19 后前往中国大陆的旅游相关行为意向。为此,我们将韩国居民对国家形象(PCI)、大众媒体和对旅行的担忧的看法纳入目标导向行为模型(MGB)的框架中。结构方程模型用于确定潜在变量之间的结构关系。结果表明,大众媒体对韩国居民对中国形象的看法有积极影响,对居民的担忧有负面影响,对居民海外旅游的行为意向有积极影响。同时,PCI 对居民对海外旅游的态度有积极影响。讨论了该研究的理论和实际意义。
