Abstract

Many previous researches in the area of online games have been carried out about internet addiction by psychologist and about the development of related technologies by scientists. There are a few studies about the consumer satisfaction from the online business model. The purpose of this study is to examine the causal relationship between critical factors and consumer satisfaction of online game users. This study model used five themes(interactivity, enjoyment, challenge, feedback, design) in order to identify the effect of critical factors on consumer satisfaction. The result of this study identified that interactivity, enjoyment, challenge have a significant effect on consumer satisfaction of online game users. Future areas for studying on the Effect of Critical Factors on Consumer Satisfaction of Online Game Users are continuously discussed.

온라인게임에 관한 대다수의 연구들은 주로 심리학자들에 의한 인터넷 중독과 과학자들에 의한 관련기술의 개발에 관해 수행되어왔다. 온라인 비즈니스 모델의 관점에서 고객만족을 연구한 논문은 드문 편이다. 본 연구의 목적은 온라인게임 이용자들을 대상으로 고객만족과 주요 요인들 간의 인과관계를 조사하는 것이다. 이를 위해 연구모델은 고객만족에 영향을 미치는 주요 요인들을 규명하기 위해 상호작용, 즐거움, 도전, 보상, 디자인의 개념을 이용하였다. 연구결과 상호작용, 즐거움, 도전 요인이 온라인게임 이용자들의 고객만족에 유의한 영향을 미치는 요인으로 규명되었다. 온라인게임 이용자들의 만족도에 영향을 미치는 주요 요인에 관한 연구는 지속적으로 논의되고 있다.
