본 연구는 공정무역과 관련된 소비자의 자기결정성 심리욕구(자율성, 유능성, 관련성)와 공정무역제품과 관련된 브랜드 자산 간의 관계를 실증분석을 통하여 검증하고자 하였다. 기존 공정무역과 관련된 소비자 반응의 선행연구들과 차별적으로 보다 더 소비자의 내적 욕구 충족성에 기반 한 전략적 브랜드 관리로 연결시키고 있다는 점에서 의의가 있다고 할 수 있다. 구체적으로 본 연구의 실증분석의 결과, 자기결정성 심리욕구와 브랜드 자산 간 관계는 소비자의 공정무역에 대한 태도를 중심으로 브랜드 자산이 과정적으로 인식되고 있음이 밝혀졌으며, 특히 유능성과 관련된 소비자의 욕구충족성은 전략적으로 중요한 구성개념임이 밝혀졌다.
본 연구의 연구결과를 토대로 향후 공정무역제품과 관련된 브랜드 자산의 전략적 관리에 중요한 시사점을 제공해 줄 것으로 기대된다.
