Abstract

The purpose of this study is to investigate the factors affecting consumer resistance of smart watches, focusing on consumer groups. SPSS 19.0 was used to conduct a descriptive analysis and multi regression analysis of the data. This study is based on the questionnaire data of 407 consumers. The results of this study are as follows. First, the relative advantage was identified as a factor in reducing consumer resistance across all gender and age groups. Second, complexity has been identified as a factor that increases the consumer resistance of female consumers, and consumer groups in their 20s and 40s. Third, esthetics was found to reduce consumer resistance in men, women, and the consumer group in their 20s. Fourth, subjective norms were identified as a factor reducing consumer resistance in women and in consumer groups in their 20s and 30s. Fifth, the risk of privacy was identified as a factor in increasing consumer resistance in men and the consumer group in their 40s. The results of this study can be helpful to understand consumer resistance to smartwatches.

본 연구는 스마트 워치 수용을 보류하고 있는 소비자 집단을 중심으로 스마트 워치 소비자 저항에 영향을 미치는 요인들을 살펴보았다. 본 연구는 20-40대 소비자 407명의 설문 자료를 기반으로 분석을 실시하였으며, SPSS 19.0을 활용하여 빈도분석, 기술통계, 요인분석, 신뢰도 검증, 상관관계 분석, t-test, 그리고 다중회귀 분석을 실시하였다. 본 연구의 결과는 다음과 같다. 첫째, 상대적 이점은 모든 성별과 연령 집단에서 스마트 워치 소비자 저항을 감소시키는 요인으로 확인되었다. 둘째, 복잡성은 여성 소비자 집단, 20대, 그리고 40대 소비자 집단에서 스마트 워치 소비자 저항을 증가시키는 요인으로 확인되었다. 셋째, 디자인 심미성은 남녀 소비자 집단, 20대 소비자 집단에서 스마트 워치 소비자 저항을 감소시키는 요인으로 확인되었다. 넷째, 주관적 규범은 여성 소비자 집단, 20대, 그리고 30대 소비자 집단에서 스마트 워치 소비자 저항을 감소시키는 요인으로 확인되었다. 다섯째, 프라이버시 위험은 남성 소비자 집단과 40대 소비자 집단에서 스마트 워치 소비자 저항을 증가시키는 요인으로 확인되었다. 본 연구의 결과들은 스마트 워치 수용보류 집단의 소비자 저항을 이해하는데 기초 자료를 제공할 수 있을 것이다.
