Abstract

Given the increasing of adoption of use of Mobile Wireless Technology(MWT), this study aims at investigating the key influencing determinants of individuals' MWT adoption and use. Based on the Technology Acceptance Model(TAM), the research model proposed new constructs and casual relations, Perceived Safety(PS), Perceived Costs(PC), Company's Willingness to Fund(CWF), and Experience(E) as a moderator. The model was tested using Structural Equation Modeling(SEM) using AMOS 5.0 analysis on the sample collected from 387 MBA and Executive MBA students of several domestic and foreign universities. The results show that not only the variables, except Perceived Usefulness, in the original TAM model, but also new variables in the research model had a significant influence on other variables. The implications of the findings suggest a new theoretical framework for future IS/IT research and offers suggestions that the developers of MWT should consider regarding the technology

무선이동기술 사용의 급속히 증가하는 추세에 발맞춰, 본 연구는 개인의 무선이동기술 수용과 사용에 영향을 미치는 요소들을 이론화하여, 실증적으로 증명하는데 연구의 목적을 두고 있다. 본 연구에서는 기술수용 연구에서 그 타당성을 높이 인정 받은 Davis(1989)의 기술수용모형(TAM)을 기초로 하여, 무선이동기술 수용에 미치는 새로운 변수인 지각된 안전, 지각된 비용, 기업의 투자의지를 제안하고, 경험을 조절변수로써 연구모형에 포함하였다. 본 연구에서 제안된 연구모형은 국내 외 몇몇 경영대학원 및 최고경영자과정의 총 387명으로부터 수집한 데이터를 SPSS AMOS 5.0를 이용해 구조방정식 분석을 하였다. 그 결과 기술수용모형의 지각된 유용성을 제외한 모든 변수가 개인의 무선이동기술 수용에 중요한 영향을 미친다고 판명되었다. 본 연구가 가지는 시사점은 향후 정보시스템 연구에서 새로운 이론적인 틀을 제공하였을 뿐 아니라, 실제 무선이동기술 개발자 및 기업들이 고려해야 될 요소들에 제안하기도 하였다.
