Abstract

In order to research the factors influencing on the intentions for smart phone users to purchase "App-Book" in Korea, the study examines the levels of influences using on an additional variable, "cost", as well as the four key variables(performance expectancy, effort expectancy, social influence, and facilitating conditions) proposed by Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology(UTAUT; Venkatesh et al., 2003) validation. The result of the research confirms that the hypotheses of UTAUT model variable are generally supported by the information technology and many related previous researches. There is one exception, however, that facilitating conditions do not influence on the App-Book purchasing behavior by smart phone. It is revealed that the "age" and "experience" of the independent variables, as the proposed control variables, are most visible effect of control on the purchase intention and purchase behavior. This study has an academic significance of presenting a new integrated model to perform the research of the similar next App-Book services and purchase behavior related to the acceptance of new media. It also clarifies to the related companies that the usefulness of App-Book, the easiness of use, the cost and the social influence of purchasing App-Book by Outsider's intent. These aspects have practical implications as being presented.

국내 스마트폰 사용자들의 앱북 구매의도에 미치는 영향요인에 대하여 알아보기 위해 Venkatesh 등이 제안한 UTAUT 모형을 기반으로 검증된 4개의 핵심 변인들(성과기대, 노력기대, 사회적 영향, 촉진조건) 외에 '비용' 변인을 추가로 사용하여 그 영향정도를 검증하였다. 그 결과, 정보기술과 관련된 많은 선행연구들을 통해 입증된 UTAUT 모형 변수들의 가설들이 본 연구에서도 대체적으로 지지됨을 확인할 수 있었다. 다만, 촉진조건은 스마트폰을 통한 앱북의 구매행위에 영향을 미치지 않는 것으로 조사되었다. 또한 조절변수로 제안된 '연령'과 '경험'은 독립변수들을 통해 구매의도 및 구매행동에 대부분 조절효과를 보이는 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구는 향후 앱북 서비스와 유사한 뉴미디어의 수용 및 구매행위에 관련한 연구를 수행하는 데 새로운 통합모형을 제시한 선행연구로써 학문적 의의가 있다. 또한 앱북 관련 기업에는 앱북의 유용성, 사용 용이성, 비용, 주변인들의 사회적 영향력에 의해 앱북을 구매하려는 의도가 있음을 밝힘으로써 실무적 시사점을 제시하였다.
