在产品专业性强和复杂性高的行业中,企业希望通过对顾客专业知识的培训来提高其忠诚度,然而实际结果却可能事与愿违.这就是所谓的“顾客专业度悖论”现象.本文通过引入关系承诺理论来破解这一悖论,通过对基金投资者的调查分析发现,投资者专业度的影响具有双刃性,即投资者的专业度会通过计算承诺对行为忠诚产生负向影响的同时,又会通过情感承诺对行为忠诚产生正向的影响,其中负向影响大于正向影响,从而形成了以往研究中已被观察却未很好解释的顾客专业度悖论现象;另一方面,无论是通过计算承诺还是情感承诺,投资者专业度对态度忠诚的影响都是正向的.此外,研究还发现专业度高的顾客态度忠诚较高,专业度低的顾客行为忠诚较高.本研究的结论对企业从事顾客专业知识培训和对不同专业度水平的顾客管理具有很好的实践指导意义.
在產品專業性彊和複雜性高的行業中,企業希望通過對顧客專業知識的培訓來提高其忠誠度,然而實際結果卻可能事與願違.這就是所謂的“顧客專業度悖論”現象.本文通過引入關繫承諾理論來破解這一悖論,通過對基金投資者的調查分析髮現,投資者專業度的影響具有雙刃性,即投資者的專業度會通過計算承諾對行為忠誠產生負嚮影響的同時,又會通過情感承諾對行為忠誠產生正嚮的影響,其中負嚮影響大于正嚮影響,從而形成瞭以往研究中已被觀察卻未很好解釋的顧客專業度悖論現象;另一方麵,無論是通過計算承諾還是情感承諾,投資者專業度對態度忠誠的影響都是正嚮的.此外,研究還髮現專業度高的顧客態度忠誠較高,專業度低的顧客行為忠誠較高.本研究的結論對企業從事顧客專業知識培訓和對不同專業度水平的顧客管理具有很好的實踐指導意義.

For many companies marketing with complex and pro- fessional product, it is a way to enhance customer loyalty through knowledge training. But in fact, this training behavior may have po- tential negative effect on customer loyalty. That is so-called "paradox of customer expertise". Basing on commitment theory, this paper proposes a mediated model to explain the mechanism of paradox. We introduce two kinds of commitment: affective commitment and calculative commitment which refer to emotional attitude and rational attitude respectively, and predict the more customer ex- pertise will lead to more affective commitment and less calculative commitment. With the distinguishing the two kinds of commitment, sounds we can explore the mechanism of paradox of customer ex- pertise. This paper takes the fund product as the research setting. The most concern is that fund product is a complicated financial product and a credence product, which means that customers cannot effectively judge the quality due to lacking of skills and knowledge. So, the selection of fund product can meet the research require- ments. In order to testify our model, we recruit survey subjects on- line via an official website of a famous fund company in China. In final, we collect 430 answers and eliminate 12 unfinished question- naires. Based on the survey data, we firstly check the reliability and validity of measurement and employ the SEM software to examine and purify the proposed model. Based on the calibrated model, we find investment expertise could influence loyalty through customer commitment, and expertise has a double-edged effect. On the one hand, investment expertise could negatively influence behavior loyalty through calculative commitment; on the other hand, it could positively influence loyalty through affective commitment. And the positive effect is larger than negative effect. This result can ex- plain traditional customer expertise paradox phenomenon. But for attitudinal loyalty, investment expertise only has a positive effect. Besides, there is an interesting result: consumer with high expertise will have higher attitudinal loyalty; but for consumer with low ex- pertise, they will have a higher behavioral loyalty. This paper will shed some light for companies implementing customer training and customer management.
