Abstract

Cloud storage service has the potential to be a core infrastructure for the future mobile and Internet service; thus related service providers have been investing in it and trying to attract as many users as possible. In addition, those need to find out what motivates the users to keep using their service not only to attract new customers but also to secure their subscribers. Therefore, this study will examine its relationship with user's motivation based on the extended TAM model with external variables for objective research about continuous use of cloud storage service. As a result, it was found that personal innovativeness, self efficacy, functional attributes, and psychological switching cost influence the continuous use of cloud storage service. Also, it is expected they can guide service providers to the right track when setting up their business strategy in the future.

클라우드 스토리지 서비스는 미래 모바일 및 인터넷 서비스의 핵심적인 인프라 서비스가 될 가능성이 높다. 클라우드 스토리지 서비스와 관련된 많은 기업들은 지속적인 투자를 하고 있으며, 가입자 확보를 위해 노력하고 있다. 이러한 서비스를 제공하는 기업들이 신규 가입자를 확보하고 기존 가입자를 유지하기 위해 사용자들의 서비스 사용의도가 무엇인지 확인할 필요가 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 클라우드 스토리지 서비스의 지속적 사용의도에 대한 실증적 연구 수행을 위해 외생 변수를 추가한 확장된 TAM 모형을 기반으로 사용자 수용의도와의 관계를 규명하고자 한다. 연구 결과, 개인의 혁신성, 자기효능감, 기능적 속성, 심리적 전환 비용과 같은 요인이 클라우드 스토리지 서비스의 지속적 사용의도에 영향을 주는 것으로 검증되었으며, 향후 클라우드 스토리지 서비스를 제공하는 기업들의 전략 수립을 위한 방향성을 제공해 줄 수 있을 것으로 기대한다.
