Abstract

Cloud computing is getting a lot of attention by many people and businesses due to IT environmental changes such as the proliferation of smart devices, the increase of digital data, and the cost of IT resources. More individuals use personal cloud computing services for storing and managing information and data. Therefore, this study proposed determinants that are expected to have an influence on evaluating the value of cloud computing based on the value-based adoption model, examining the relationship between the continuous use intention of cloud computing. Results of the study show that usefulness, convenience of information access, extensibility had a positive impact on perceived value while privacy concerns and costs had a negative impact on perceived value. In addition, perceived value was found to have a significant effect on the intention to continue use of cloud computing. Finally, trust was found to have a significant effect on the perceived value and the intention to continue use of cloud computing. The findings are expected to provide useful information for understanding the factors that individual users consider important in the steadily growing cloud computing market.

모바일 기기의 확산, 디지털 데이터의 증가, IT 자원 비용 문제 등의 환경 변화로 많은 사람이 개인용 클라우드 컴퓨팅을 사용하고 있으며, 클라우드 컴퓨팅은 정보와 데이터를 저장, 관리하는데 유용한 서비스로 평가받고 있다. 이에 클라우드 컴퓨팅 채택 및 수용에 관한 연구는 활발하게 이루어져 왔다. 하지만 개인 사용자가 인지하는 가치를 기반으로 지속적인 사용에 영향을 미치는 요인에 관한 연구는 아직은 미비하다. 이에 본 연구는 가치기반수용모델을 기반으로 클라우드 컴퓨팅 가치 평가에 영향을 미칠 요인들을 제안하고 연구모델을 설정하였으며 AMOS 22.0과 SPSS 23.0을 사용하여 실증분석을 진행하였다. 분석결과, 유용성, 정보접근편의성, 확장성은 지각된 가치에 정(+)의 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났으며, 프라이버시 염려와 비용은 지각된 가치에 부(-)의 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 지각된 가치는 클라우드 컴퓨팅 지속적 사용의도에 유의한 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났으며 신뢰는 지각된 가치와 지속적 사용의도에 유의한 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구의 결과는 꾸준히 성장하고 있는 클라우드 컴퓨팅 시장에서 개인 사용자들이 중요하게 고려하는 요소를 이해하는데 유용한 정보를 제공할 것으로 기대한다.
