Abstract

When new information communication technologies(ICTs) have appeared, researchers and praticitioners have explored how to spread the technologies. In e-commerce, social commerce has been introduced recently and attempts to understand social commerce have proposed diverse research models. This study proposed a hypothetical model which integrates technology readiness(TR), technology acceptance model(TAM), and theory of planned behavior(TPB). Through PLS path modeling, we found that every hypothesis except social norm-intention path alone proved significant. This result means that integrated model is useful to understand the adoption of new ICTs including social commerce. Finally, based on the findings, suggestions for future research were discussed.

새로운 정보기술이 등장할 때마다 연구자와 실무자는 이 기술을 어떻게 보급할 것인가에 대해서 탐구하고 있다. e-커머스 분야에서 소셜 커머스는 최근에 나타나 현상으로, 소셜 커머스 현상을 이해하려는 많은 연구가 다양한 연구모형을 제시하고 있다. 이 연구는 기술준비도(TR), 기술수용모형(TAM), 계획된 행동 이론(TPB)를 통합한 연구모형을 제시하였다. PLS 경로모형분석을 통한 분석결과, TPB의 주관적 규범-의도 경로를 제외한 모든 가설적 경로가 유의한 것으로 밝혀졌다. 이러한 결과는 소셜 커머스 뿐만 아니라 새로운 정보기술의 수용을 이해하는데 통합모형이 유용하다는 사실을 말해준다. 마지막으로 이 연구는 미래 연구를 위한 함의와 제안을 제시하였다.
