Abstract

One type of innovative multimedia platform environments is mobile data services (MDS), exemplified by Nate, Show, and OZ. In the context of MDS, enhancing user's continuance intention is a significant challenge to the continuing growth and long-term viability of MDS. Because the cost of using MDS is borne mainly by users, they are likely to evaluate it based on perceptions of what is received and what is given. This study identifies perceived usefulness and perceived enjoyment as the 'get'components, and perceived fee and perceived anxiety as the 'give' components. To understand the role of get and give components in the MDS post-adoption environment, this study incorporates these components into expectation confirmation model. We collected data from 204 users who had direct experiences with MDS within recent 3 months. The data was analyzed by employing PLS (partial least squares). Theoretical and practical implications of our findings are discussed.

최근 경영정보와 마케팅 분야의 최근 연구들은 다양한 미디어 플랫폼 환경에서 소비자들의 지속사용을 유발하는 요인들을 밝히고자 노력하고 있다. 유사한 맥락에서 본 연구는 모바일 데이터 서비스(Mobile Data Services: MDS) 플랫폼에서 사용자들의 서비스 지속사용 의지에 영향을 미치는 선행변수들을 밝히고자 한다. MDS 소비자들은 서비스 사용에 대한 비용을 직접 지불한다. 그러므로 해당서비스의 사용을 통해서 획득할 수 있는 이득과 사용할 때 지불해야 하는 비용이 지속사용을 결정하는 중요한 변수들이 될 수 있다. 이러한 의사결정 과정을 반영하기 위해서 본 연구는 소비자들이 얻을 수 있는 이득으로 인지된 유용성과 인지된 즐거움을 고려하였으며, 지불해야 하는 비용으로 재무적 비용과 정신적 비용을 고려하였다. 본 연구는 고려된 변수들을 기대일치모형(Expectation Confirmation Model: ECM)에 결합하여 MDS 사용자 지속사용을 설명할 수 있는 연구 모형을 제안하였다. 연구 모형에서 제안된 가설들 검증하기 위해서, 설문 응답 시점에서 3개월 이내에 MDS를 이용한 경험이 있는 대학생들을 대상으로 설문조사를 수행하여 총 204부의 설문지를 수집하였다. 수집된 데이터는 PLS(partial least squares)를 이용해서 분석되었다. 분석 결과, 인지된 유용성과 인지된 즐거움은 서비스 지속사용 의지를 형성하는데 도움을 주는 것으로 밝혀졌다. 반대로, 재무적 비용과 정신적 비용은 사용자들의 서비스 지속사용 의지를 저해하는 요인들임이 밝혀졌다. 본 연구의 결과는 MDS 플랫폼에서 소비자들의 지속사용 행태에 대한 깊은 이해를 제공하며, 서비스 활성화를 위한 전략 개발과 시사점 제공에 도움을 줄 것으로 기대된다.
