Abstract

This study aimed to identify empirically the differences of user interface experience factors for such manufacturers as Samsung, LG, Sky, Apple, etc., which are fiercely competing in the mobile market at home and abroad. In addition, this study aimed to verify how different the impact of such user interface experience factors on product attitudes and intention to repurchase would be for each manufacturer. As a result of the study, it was verified that there was a difference in the user experience between the manufacturers for all of the factors forming user satisfaction experience, which included information, interaction, useful experience and design experience satisfaction. Second, it was also verified that there was a difference between the manufacturers in terms of product attitudes. Lastly, it was verified that there was a difference between the manufacturers in terms of intention to repurchase. Specifically, it was found that Samsung had a higher degree of intention to repurchase than LG and Sky, whereas Apple had a higher degree hereof then Samsung. It is expected that the above results of study will provide the aforementioned manufacturers useful implications for establishing UI strategies through the contemplation of differences for each manufacturer in addition to the expansion of studies related to UI experience.

본 연구는 국내 외 모바일 시장에서 치열한 경쟁을 벌이고 있는 삼성, 엘지, 스카이, 애플 등 제조사별 사용자 인터페이스(UI: User Interface) 경험 요인들이 어떠한 차이가 있는지 실증적으로 규명해보자 하였다. 또한 이러한 사용자 인터페이스 경험 요인들이 제품태도 및 재구매의도에 미치는 영향은 제조사별로 어떠한 차이를 보이는지 함께 확인하고자 하였다. 연구결과, 첫째, 사용만족경험을 구성하고 있는 인포메이션과 인터랙션, 유용적경험, 디자인만족경험 모두에서 제조사별 UI경험은 차이가 있는 것으로 확인되었다. 둘째, 제품태도는 제조사별로 차이가 있는 것으로 확인되었다. 마지막으로 재구매의도는 제조사별로 차이가 있는 것으로 확인되었다. 구체적으로 엘지와 스카이보다 삼성이, 삼성에 비해서는 애플이 더 높은 것으로 나타났다. 이상의 연구결과는 UI경험과 관련된 연구의 확장과 함께 제조사별 차이점에 대한 고찰을 통하여 해당 기업들의 UI전략 수립에 유용한 시사점을 제공 할 것으로 기대한다.
