关于不确定性积极影响的研究主要集中在促销活动上,在其他情境下的研究较少。本研究将不确定性概念应用于体验消费情境,发现在消费情境中存在体验的确定性和体验的不确定性,目的是研究不同类型消费者体验作用机制的差异。在研究Ⅰ中,收集了239份关于移动应用消费体验的有效问卷,并使用结构方程模型(SEM)对其数据进行分析。研究2收集了160份关于实体店消费者体验的有效问卷,并使用偏最小二乘法(PLS-SEM)对问卷数据进行分析。研究发现在体验确定性情境下,标准化互动依赖于产品互动和场景互动来传递体验物质信息,降低消费者对商品服务感知的不确定性,从而产生满意体验;在体验不确定性情境下,个性化互动依赖于用户与企业互动以及用户与用户互动来释放体验参与者的主体性和创造力,增加消费者对体验过程感知的不确定性,从而产生惊喜体验。研究结果为企业制定差异化体验策略并获得长期竞争优势提供了重要的实践指导。
