Abstract

The purpose of this study was to analyze the effect of service convenience on customer satisfaction and reuse intention by 200 passengers using a Korail talk app. The result of the analysis showed that service convenience was positively correlated with satisfaction in Korail customers using the Korail talk app. Also, customer satisfaction with service convenience had a positive effect on reuse intention in these users. However, service convenience was not significantly correlated with customer's reuse intention. The results of this study suggest that it is important for Korail to offer improved service convenience for Korail talk app users consistently in order to improve customer satisfaction and reuse intention by Korail passengers.

본 연구는 코레일 앱 이용자 200명을 대상으로 코레일 앱 서비스편의성이 코레일 앱 고객만족과 재이용 의도에 미치는 영향을 조사 분석하였다. 분석결과, 코레일 앱 서비스편의성과 코레일 앱 고객 만족간에 정(+)의 상관관계를 나타내어 코레일 앱 서비스편의성에 대하여 코레일 앱 고객들이 만족하는 것으로 나타났다. 또한 코레일 앱 고객 만족과 코레일 앱 재이용 의도와의 상관관계를 분석한 결과 정(+)의 관계를 나타내었다. 그러나 코레일 앱 서비스편의성이 코레일 앱 재이용의도와의 상관관계 분석 시 유의적인 상관관계를 나타내지 않았다. 결론적으로 코레일 앱 서비스 자체는 재이용 의도에 영향을 주지 못하고 고객만족을 통해 영향을 미친다. 이상의 결과들로 미루어 볼 때 코레일은 코레일 앱 지속성을 위해 코레일 앱 고객만족도에 중점을 두고 개선 발전시켜 운영하면 코레일 앱의 재이용 의도를 높여 코레일 앱을 최적화 할 수 있다는 사실을 연구를 통해 알 수 있었다.
