Abstract

Recently mobile application providers and telecommunication companies went through a difficult time in a highly competitive mobile and its application market where we've seen a huge trend for diverse mobile applications occurring on smart phone. If there were a time when those of companies need to analyze factors affecting users' intention to download or recommend others applications more than ever, it is now. Based on UTAUT model, this research is to provide them with strategic implications by analyzing those factors according to application types with utilization and hedonic values. As a result, firstly trust and personalization have positive impact on Performance Expectancy and users' intention to use have been significantly affected by Performance Expectancy and Effort Expectancy. Secondly the result of path analysis has a different outcome according to application types with utilization and hedonic values. Therefore it is expected that the research gives practical and strategic implication for application developer, mobile companies and others helping application development, new service launch and marketing implementation.

모바일 시장의 성장과 더불어 다양한 앱의 등장은 기존 스마트폰 사업자 및 애플리케이션 개발자들간의 경쟁을 가중시키고 있다. 이에 다양한 스마트폰 앱의 유형별 사용 및 추천의도에 관한 연구가 필요해진 시점이다. 본 연구에서는 기존 UTAUT 모형에 성과기대에 영향을 미치는 요인으로 개인화와 신뢰성을, 사용의도에 영향을 미치는 요인으로 플로우를 추가하여 스마트폰 앱 사용에 영향을 미치는 요인을 분석하고자 하였다. 또한 스마트폰 앱의 유형을 실용적인 성격의 앱과 엔터테인먼트적인 성격의 앱의 두 가지 대비되는 유형으로 나누어 스마트폰 앱 수용에 관해 각각의 앱 특징에 따라 영향의 차이를 검정하여 전략적 시사점을 도출하고자 하였다. 연구결과, 첫째, 신뢰, 개인화가 성과기대에 유의한 영향을 미치며, 성과기대, 노력기대가 스마트폰 앱의 사용의도와 사용행동 및 추천의도에 유의한 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 둘째, 실용앱과 엔터테인먼트 앱의 유형에 따라 사용자의 스마트폰 앱의 사용목적과 사용에 영향을 미치는 요인들이 다르게 나타났다. 따라서 본 연구가 스마트폰 앱 개발자, 이동통신사, 기업 등의 앱 제작과 서비스제공, 마케팅 등에 실질적으로 활용될 수 있는 전략적 시사점을 제공해 줄 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.
