Abstract

Online-to-offline (O2O) commerce is the new trend that merges online commerce with traditional industries in various fields. The primary purpose of this paper is to find out which factors influence customers' intention to switch from call-based driver-for-hire services to O2O app-based services. This study used variables and factors based on Theory of Switching Intention, and Extended Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology in order to design research questions. We surveyed 500 users of call-based driver-for-hire services. According to the result of this study, dissatisfaction with the current call-based driver-for-hire services is estimated to be a significant factor that strengthens customers' intention to switch from the call-based driver-for-hire services to the app-based services. Loyalty to the previous call-based driver-for-hire services was not seen as a crucial motivator that causes customers to switch to the new O2O driver service. Switching cost also did not play a key role in explaining the relationship between dissatisfaction with the current call-based service and the intention to use the new app-based service. Performance expectancy, easiness in use, the level of user's knowledge or available assistance in relation to the use of app-based services, and expectancy for reasonable price was found to have meaningful impacts on customers' intention to switch from the call-based driver-for-hire services to the app-based services. Age, gender and user experience on the new service were found incapable of moderating the relationship between aforementioned factors which influence customers' choice of the app-based driver-for-hire service, and customers' intent to switch to the app-based service.

O2O(online to offline)가 온라인 상거래(e-commerce)의 새로운 트렌드가 되면서, 다채로운 분야에서 O2O와 기존 산업 간의 결합이 진행되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 이 중 대리운전 산업과 O2O 방식이 접목된 서비스(앱 대리)에 대한 소비자 수용 의사를 탐색했다. 구체적으로 본 연구에서는 기존의 대리운전 서비스 방식인 콜 대리 서비스(콜 대리)에서 O2O 방식이 접목된 앱 대리로의 소비 전환의도를 발생시키는 기제를 확인하고자 했다. 소비전환 의도에 대한 이론적 논의와 확장된 통합기술 수용이론을 토대로 변인을 도출하고, 설문 문항을 고안했다. 설문 조사는 기존의 콜 대리 서비스 경험을 보유한 500명을 대상으로 실시됐다. 연구 결과, 기존의 대리운전 서비스 체계인 콜 대리에 대한 불만족은 콜 대리에서 앱 대리로의 소비 전환의도를 높이는 요인으로 확인됐다. 콜 대리에 대한 충성도와 콜 대리에서 앱 대리로의 전환비용은 콜 대리에 대한 불만족과 콜 대리에서 앱 대리로의 소비 전환 의도 간 관계에서 조절변인으로서 기능을 하지 못하는 것으로 나타났다. 앱 대리 사용 시 기대되는 효과, 앱 대리 사용 과정의 편의성, 앱 대리 사용 과정에서 확보될 수 있는 도움이나 앱 대리 사용에 대한 사용자 개인의 지식의 정도, 그리고 앱 대리의 소비자 가격의 합리성에 대한 기대가 콜 대리에서 앱 대리로의 소비 전환 의도를 제고하는 요인으로서 유의한 영향을 미치는 것으로 확인됐다. 성별, 연령, 그리고 앱 대리 사용 경험은 전술한 앱 대리 선택에 영향을 미치는 요인과 앱 대리로의 소비전환 의도 간의 관계에서 조절 효과요인으로서는 유의하지 못한 것으로 파악됐다.
