Abstract

The purpose of this study is to identify the effects of interactivity, computer playfulness, and computer anxiety on service satisfaction, attitude, and user intention based on the flow theory in order to understand factors improving effects of home-network system. Especially, Computer anxiety which is one of individual characteristics in negative aspect as well as computer playfulness was added to the research model to perform empirical research for grasping effects on attitude variables such as service satisfaction. The analysis resulted that the perceived interactivity and the computer playfulness had a positive relationship with service satisfaction, but on the contrary it was identified that the computer anxiety gave a negative effect on the service satisfaction. These results are evidences to explain high correlation of the perceived interactivity, the computer playfulness, and the computer anxiety with the service satisfaction. Besides, it was found that there was a meaningful relationship among the three attitude variables such as satisfaction, attitude, and intention to use. This research suggested an integrative research model using home-network technology where user satisfaction and use factors were included, expanded research area of the traditional interactivity, and presented a consistent result to support the relationship among the service satisfaction, the attitude, and the intention to use. In additions, practical issues were also provided by presenting user's criteria for selecting various services including electronic commerce and its using elements continuously.

본 연구의 목적은 홈네트워크 시스템 효과를 향상시키는 요인을 파악하기 위해 몰입이론을 기반으로 지각된 상호작용성, 컴퓨터 유희성, 컴퓨터 불안감이 서비스 만족, 태도, 사용의도에 미치는 영향을 밝히고자 하는 것이다. 특히 컴퓨터 유희성 뿐 아니라 개인의 부정적 특성인 컴퓨터 불안감을 연구모형에 추가하여 서비스 만족과 같은 태도변수에 미치는 영향을 파악하고자 실증연구를 실시하였다. 분석결과 지각된 상호작용성과 컴퓨터 유희성은 서비스 만족과 긍정적인 관계가 존재하며, 반대로 컴퓨터 불안감은 서비스 만족에 부정적 영향을 주는 것으로 확인되었다. 이러한 결과는 지각된 상호작용성, 컴퓨터 유희성, 컴퓨터 불안감과 서비스 만족간의 높은 관련성을 설명하는 증거이다. 또한 만족, 태도, 사용의도 등 세가지 태도변수들 간에도 서로 의미 있는 관계가 존재함을 확인하였다. 본 연구를 통해 홈네트워크 기술을 활용하는 사용자 만족 및 사용요인이 포함된 통합적인 연구모형을 제시하였고, 기존 상호작용성의 연구영역을 확장하였으며, 서비스 만족, 태도, 사용의도의 관계를 지속적으로 지지하는 실증적 결과를 제시하였다. 이러한 홈네트워크의 상호작용성 영향은 단순 가전기기의 활용도뿐 아니라 전자상거래 등 다양한 홈네트워크 기반 서비스 분야에서 사용자의 지속적인 선택 기준 및 사용요인을 제시함으로써 실무적 시사점도 함께 제공하였다.
