Abstract

The purpose of this study was to research the relationships among utilitarian perceptions, hedonic perceptions, perceived usefulness and behavioral intention. Recently, consumers rely heavily on user-generated contents of social media channels to support their purchase decisions, such as electronic word-of-mouth. Electronic word-of-mouth helps consumers to evaluate items before making purchase, to reduce purchase risks and to support their purchase decisions. This study was based on both the analysis derived from a hypothesis and literature reviews and data collected from 255 travelers who had used travel review website at least once. The results of empirical analysis showed as follows. First, Utilitarian perceptions(information quality) has a significant impact on the perceived usefulness of a travel review website. Second, Enjoyment has a significant impact on the perceived usefulness of a travel review website. Third, Curiosity fulfilment has a significant impact on the perceived usefulness of a travel review website. Finally, Perceived usefulness of a travel review website has a significant impact on behavioral intention. Based on these findings, the implications and limitations of the study were presented including some directions for future studies.

본 연구는 여행 리뷰 웹사이트를 이용하는 여행객의 기능적, 쾌락적 인식, 지각된 유용성 및 행동의도 간의 구조적 관계에 관한 것이다. 소비자들은 의사결정 시에 온라인 구전과 같은 소셜 미디어 채널로부터 생산된 콘텐츠에 주로 의존한다. 온라인 구전은 구매 결정 전에 아이템을 평가하는데 도움을 주고 구매위험을 줄여주며 구매의사결정에 도움을 준다. 따라서 본 연구의 목적은 여행 리뷰 웹사이트의 지각된 유용성의 선행요인과 결과요인을 살펴보고자 한다. 선행요인으로는 기능적 인식과 쾌락적 인식을, 결과변수로는 소비자의 행동의도를 살펴보았다. 본 연구는 이들의 영향관계를 실증적으로 규명하고자 문헌연구를 통한 가설설정과 더불어 여행 리뷰 웹사이트를 한번 이상 이용해본 경험자들을 대상으로 255부의 설문지를 최종분석에 사용하였다. 가설 검증을 위해 AMOS프로그램을 이용한 구조방정식 모형분석을 사용하였다. 연구결과, 첫째, 온라인 구전의 정보품질은 여행 리뷰 웹사이트의 지각된 유용성에 유의한 영향을 주었다. 둘째, 즐거움은 여행 리뷰 웹사이트의 지각된 유용성에 유의한 영향을 주었다. 셋째, 호기심 이행성은 여행리뷰 웹사이트의 지각된 유용성에 유의한 영향을 주었다. 마지막으로 여행 리뷰 웹사이트의 지각된 유용성은 행동의도에 유의한 영항을 주었다. 이러한 근거를 바탕으로 본 연구의 시사점과 한계점을 밝히고 미래의 연구방향을 제시하였다.
