Abstract

This study performed to examine the effects of the characteristics of SNS information, SNS site, and perceived usefulness of information on the visiting intention of SNS user in context of restaurant. Customers use SNS for navigation to find useful information and confirm the information about the destination they would like to visit. To achieve purpose of the current study, we developed a research model based on theoretical backgrounds and conducted a questionnaire survey targeting who is using SNS for searching a useful information. The results were as follow. 1) SNS information reliability, neutrality and amusement had a positive effect on the perceived usefulness of the information. 2) SNS site interaction, usage simplicity and reliability had a positive influence on the perceived usefulness of the information. 3) SNS user's perceived usefulness of the information had a positive effect on the perceived usefulness of the information.

본 연구는 SNS를 활용하여 자신의 이용목적에 부합하는 외식업체에 관한 정보를 확인하거나, 혹은 자신이 이용하고 싶은 외식업체에 관한 정보를 수집하고자하는 소비자를 대상으로 SNS 정보의 특성, SNS 사이트 특성, 정보유용성 그리고 방문의도 간의 영향관계를 확인하고자 하였다. 연구목적을 달성하기 위해 SNS 정보특성, SNS 사이트특성, 정보 유용성, 방문의도에 관하여 문헌고찰을 진행하였으며, 가설검정을 위해 실증 조사분석을 실시하였다. 분석결과는 다음과 같다. 1) SNS 정보특성인 정보의 신뢰성, 유희성, 중립성 요인은 정보유용성지각에 유의한 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났으며, 특히 정보의 중립성요인이 상대적으로 높은 영향력을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 2) SNS 사이트특성인 상호작용성, 이용용이성, 사이트신뢰성요인은 정보유용성지각에 유의한 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 특히 SNS 사이트 특성요인 중 상호작용성 요인이 상대적으로 높은 영향력을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 3) SNS 사용자가 지각하는 정보유용성이 해당 업체의 방문의도에 미치는 영향관계를 확인한 결과, 유의한 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다.
