Abstract

A new way of shopping based on virtual assistant, so called voice shopping, is drawing attention. The voice shopping market is growing around the world, and Korea is on the verge of full-scale commercialization of this new shopping. For the development of voice shopping-related industries, it is necessary to research on specific issues related to this new shopping methods, such as the quality of services, efficient processes tailored to new ways, and ways to build customer relationships. As part of such an attempt, the study seeks to determine the factors that affect consumers' perception and attitudes toward voice shopping. The study conducted the analysis based on survey response data of 171 online shopping users. In addition to the typical factors of the technology acceptability model(TAM) such as perceived usefulness and ease of use, the impact of perceived playfulness was included for analyzing the intention on the acceptance of voice shopping. In particular, this study focuses on the impact of user attributes. For the spread of voice shopping, it is necessary to set up a valid target customer and understand users for establishing an effective customer relationship. Therefore, this study tries to analyze how the perceptions on the voice shopping(perceived usefulness, ease of use, and perceived playfulness) are affected by users' attributes, such as user innovativeness and user knowledge level. The result of analysis shows that user innovativeness have a positive relationship with all of perceived usefulness, ease of use, and perceived playfulness. The user knowledge base, however, was not significant to all these three variables. The user knowledge base is shown to have a positive effect on user innovativeness which is the source of positively significant factor for the variable of the perceptions on the voice shopping. Meanwhile, among the variables of extended technology acceptance model, perceived usefulness and perceived playfulness have positive effects on the acceptance of voice shopping, while ease of use has no significant impact on the voice shopping acceptance. Ease of use has a positive relationship with perceived usefulness and playfulness. This study is meaningful in providing implications on the development of voice shopping platforms and related services, and establishment of customer relationship.

가상비서에 기반해 구매활동을 하는 새로운 방식의 음성쇼핑(Voice shopping)이 주목받고 있다. 전 세계적으로 음성쇼핑 시장이 성장을 하고 있고, 우리나라도 음성쇼핑의 본격적 상용화를 눈앞에 두고 있다. 음성쇼핑 관련 서비스의 발전을 위해서는 서비스의 질, 새로운 방식에 맞는 효율적 프로세스, 고객관계 구축 방법 등 새로운 쇼핑방식과 관련한 세부적 이슈에 대해 구체적으로 고찰하는 작업이 필요하다. 그러한 시도의 일환으로서, 이 연구는 음성쇼핑에 대해 소비자들이 갖는 인식 및 태도에 영향을 미치는 요인을 판별하고자 한다. 이 연구에서는 171명의 온라인쇼핑 이용객의 설문조사 응답데이터를 기반으로 분석을 실시했다. 인지된 유용성, 사용 용이성 등 기술수용모델(Technology Acceptance Model)의 전형적 요인 외에 인지된 유희성이라는 요인을 추가하여 음성쇼핑에 대한 이용의도에 미치는 영향을 분석했다. 특별히 이 연구에서는 사용자의 속성이 미치는 영향에 집중하고자 한다. 음성쇼핑의 확산을 위해서는 유효한 타깃 고객을 설정하는 게 필요하며, 사용자에 대한 이해가 선행되어야 원활한 고객관계 구축이 가능해지기 때문이다. 따라서 이 연구에서는 사용자 혁신성 및 지식수준 등 사용자의 속성에 따라 음성쇼핑 이용의도와 관련한 요인이 어떻게 영향을 받는지 분석하고자 한다. 분석결과, 사용자 혁신성은 인지된 유용성과 사용 용이성, 인지된 유희성 모두에게 긍정적 영양을 줬다. 사용자 지식기반은 인지된 유용성과 사용 용이성, 인지된 유희성 모두에게 유의하지 않았으나, 이 변수들의 외생변수 역할을 하는 사용자 혁신성에 긍정적 영향을 주는 것으로 나타났다. 한편 확장된 기술수용모델 변수 중에서는 인지된 유용성과 인지된 유희성이 음성쇼핑의 이용의도에 긍정적 영향을 주고, 사용 용이성은 음성쇼핑 이용의도에는 유의한 영향이 없으나 인지된 유용성과 유희성을 모두 높이는 것으로 나타났다. 이 연구는 음성쇼핑 플랫폼 및 연관 서비스 개발시중점을 두어야 할 지향점 및 고객관계 설정 방향에 대한 시사점을 제시하는 데 의의가 있다.
