Abstract

One of the key factors for success in fostering web-service is the supply of user-generated contents(UGCs). Technological interactivity is an environmental factor which stimulates user-content interaction, and reflects the system's capability for supporting various interactions that are allowed by a medium. The present study uses a structural equation model to investigate the influence of three components of technological interactivity-user control, synchronicity, and responsiveness-on web-services' perceived content performance. The results show that web-services' user control and synchronicity exhibited a positive relationship with the perceived efficiency of content generation; further, perceived efficiency boosts perceptions of content quality, which means that the user control and synchronicity of a web-service also have an indirect effect on perceived content quality. Additionally, responsiveness has a positive effect on perceived content quality. These findings are important for marketers and operators seeking to make their web-service successful.

다양한 웹서비스 참여자들은 콘텐츠의 생산과 공유, 확산 과정에 참여하고 있다. 웹서비스 내 다양한 상호작용을 지원하는 시스템의 반응 역량을 기술적 상호작용성이라 하며, 이는 웹서비스 성공의 핵심요인으로 연구되고 있다. 본 연구는 기술적 상호작용성 구성요인인 사용자 통제성과 동시성, 반응성이 웹서비스 내의 콘텐츠 생산 효율성과 콘텐츠 품질 인식에 미치는 영향을 구조방정식 모형을 통해 탐색적으로 확인하였다. 연구결과 사용자 통제성과 동시성은 웹서비스 내 콘텐츠의 생산 효율성 인식에 긍정적인 영향을 주었으며, 대화적 피드백 역량인 반응성은 웹서비스 내에서 공유되는 콘텐츠의 품질 인식에 긍정적 영향을 주고 있음을 확인하였다. 또한 콘텐츠 생산 효율성 인식이 콘텐츠 품질 인식에 긍정적 영향을 주고 있음을 확인해, 사용자 통제성과 동시성의 품질인식에 대한 간접효과도 확인하였다. 본 연구는 웹서비스 개발 및 운영시 통제 가능한 요인인 기술적 상호작용성이 웹서비스를 통한 콘텐츠 생산 효율성 및 품질 인식에 긍정적인 영향을 주고 있음을 제시함으로써, 고객참여 콘텐츠가 중요한 웹서비스 개발자와 마케터에게 관련성과를 향상시킬 수 있는 웹 기술 활용 및 시스템 구축에 대한 함의를 제공해 주고 있다.
