Abstract

The accelerating growth in Technology-Based Self-Service (TBSS) today is giving rise to questions about the acceptance of such forms of service delivery by all kinds of consumers. Using the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) and TBSS quality evaluation model as a theoretical framework, this study investigates the effects of perceived usefulness, perceived easy of use, enjoyment of users acceptance of TBSS and self-monitoring as a individual variable. The results lend support to the hypothesist. Implications for service practitioners as well as directions for future research are discussed.

오늘날 기술기반 셀프서비스의 빠른 성장은 서비스 전달방식에 대한 새로운 지평을 열어가고 있다. 따라서 본 연구는 기술기반 셀프서비스에 대한 사용자의 수용을 결정하는 요인들이 무엇인지를 확인함으로써 이론 및 실무적 차원의 시사점을 제공하고자 한다. TBSS 수용여부와 관련하여 기술수용모델(TAM) 및 기술기반 셀프서비스 품질평가 모델을 토대로 지각된 유용성, 지각된 사용의 용이성, 즐거움 및 개인특성 변수로 제시된 자기감시성은 기술기반 셀프서비스의 사용에 대한 태도에 긍정적인 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났으며, 이러한 기술기반 셀프서비스 사용에 대한 태도 역시 사용의도에 긍정적인 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다.
