Abstract

This study conducted empirical analyses to investigate the factors affecting the intention to use smart home services. Based on the previous relevant studies, the characteristics of smart home service were found to influence on the intention to use smart home service, and four variables(ubiquitous connectivity, reliability, context awareness, and security) concerning the service characteristics could be derived. And referring to the technology acceptance model(TAM), the updated TAM, IS success model, and the theory of reasoned action(TRA), three variables such as perceived ease of use, perceived usefulness and subjective norm were also likely to affect the intention to use smart home service, and the user innovativeness was inferred to play a role of moderating variable. In order to examine the research model and the hypotheses which could describe the relationship of the above mentioned variables, this study surveyed 447 people who were currently using or would use the smart home services, and then tested the hypotheses for 436 valid responses. The results of hypotheses testing showed that reliability, context awareness, and security have a significant effect on perceived usefulness and on perceived ease of use. However, it was found that ubiquitous connectivity significantly affected perceived usefulness but did not affect perceived ease of use. And perceived ease of use, perceived usefulness and subjective norm had significant effect on the intention to use smart home services. Also, user innovativeness as moderating variable was found to significantly influence on the magnitude of the relationship between ubiquitous connectivity and perceived usefulness and on that between reliability and perceived ease of use. This can be interpreted as the findings implying that innovative smart home-service users are likely to feel the smart home-services more useful than ordinary users when the degree of ubiquitous connectivity is higher, and are likely to perceive the use of smart home-services to be easier than ordinary ones when the degree of reliability is higher.

본 연구는 스마트 홈 서비스 이용의도에 영향을 미치는 요인을 실증적인 분석과정을 통해 규명하고자 하였다. 우선 관련 선행연구를 통해 스마트 홈 서비스의 서비스특성이 스마트 홈 서비스 사용자들의 이용의도에 중요한 영향을 미침을 확인하였고, 서비스특성에 관한 구성변수로서 편재접속성, 신뢰성, 상황인식성, 보안성 등 네 변수를 도출하였다. 또한 기술수용에 관한 이론적 모형들인 기술수용모형(TAM) 및 수정된 기술수용모형(Updated TAM), 이성적 행동이론(TRA)과 정보시스템 성공모형을 기반으로 하여 스마트 홈 서비스 이용의도에 영향을 미치는 요인들로서 지각된 유용성 및 지각된 용이성과 주관적 규범 등 세 변수를 도출하고, 조절 변수로서 사용자 혁신성을 포함하여 이들 변수들 간의 관계에 대한 연구 모형과 가설들을 도출하였다. 가설검증을 위한 자료수집을 위해 스마트홈 서비스를 현재 사용자이거나 사용예정자인 447명을 대상으로 설문조사를 실시하여 이중 분석 가능한 436명의 응답결과에 대해 가설검증을 실시하였다 가설검증 결과 신뢰성, 상황인식성, 보안성은 지각된 유용성과 지각된 용이성에 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났으나, 편재접속성은 지각된 용이성에만 영향을 미치고 지각된 용이성에는 영향을 미치지 못하는 것으로 나타났고 지각된 용이성과 유용성, 주관적 규범 모두 스마트 홈 서비스 이용의도에 유의한 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 또한, 조절변수인 사용자 혁신성은 편재접속성과 지각된 유용성 간의 관계에 유의한 영향을 주는 것으로 나타났고, 신뢰성과 지각된 용이성 간의 관계에 유의한 영향을 주는 것으로 나타났다. 이는 일반적인 스마트 홈 서비스 사용자보다 혁신성이 강한 사용자일수록 편재접속성이 스마트 홈 서비스의 유용성에 더욱 중요한 요인으로 여기며, 또한 스마트 홈 서비스에 대한 신뢰성이 높을 때 스마트 홈 서비스 서비스의 사용이 보다 용이하다고 느끼는 것으로 해석할 수 있다.
