Abstract

The advent of the 4th industrial technology brought about various changes and innovations in the overall industry, but the digitalization of the logistics industry, which involved complicated paperwork processes and various stakeholders, was somewhat behind compared to other industries. However, changes and innovations related to digitalization in the logistics industry began to accelerate due to the impact of COVID-19. This study is to check the digitalization status of container liners accelerated by these changes, analyze the impact of such changes on customer satisfaction and behavioral intention. In this study, a questionnaire survey was conducted for 30 days targeting workers in the logistics industry who had experience using digitalization products of container shipping companies, and a total of 144 questionnaire responses were used to verify hypotheses. To summarize the results of this study, first, it was confirmed that perceived ease of use has a positive (+) effect on perceived usefulness. Second, perceived ease of use was found to have a positive (+) effect on customer satisfaction. Third, it was found that perceived usefulness had a positive (+) effect on customer satisfaction. Fourth, perceived usefulness has a positive (+) effect on behavioral intention. Fifth, it was found that customer satisfaction had a positive (+) effect on behavioral intention. Summarizing the results of the study, it can be summarized that the digitization of regular shipping companies is convenient to use and has a positive effect on customer satisfaction and behavioral intention if it is useful.

4차 산업기술의 등장은 전반적인 산업에 다양한 변화와 혁신을 일으켰으나 복잡한 서류 과정과 다양한 이해관계자가 포함된 물류 산업의 디지털라이제이션은 타 산업에 비해 다소 뒤처져 있었다. 하지만 물류 산업에서의 디지털라이제이션에 대한 변화와 혁신은 COVID-19의 영향으로 급물살을 타기 시작하며 가속화되었다. 따라서 본 연구는 가속화된 컨테이너 정기선사들의 디지털라이제이션 현황을 확인하고 정기선사의 디지털라이제이션이 고객만족과 활용의도에 미치는 영향 관계를 분석하였다. 본 연구는 선행연구를 기반으로 설문을 작성하여 컨테이너 선박회사의 디지털라이제이션 상품을 사용해 본 경험이 있는 물류업계 종사자를 대상으로 2022년 9월 한 달 간 설문조사를 실시하였으며 총 144부의 설문 응답을 분석에 활용하였다. 분석결과, 첫째, 사용 용이성은 유용성에 정(+)의 영향을 미치는 것으로 확인되었다. 둘째, 사용용이성은 고객만족에 정(+)의 영향을 미치는 것으로 분석되었다. 셋째, 유용성은 고객만족에 정(+)의 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 넷째, 유용성은 활용의도에 정(+)의 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 다섯째, 고객만족은 활용의도에 정(+)의 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 연구결과를 종합하면 정기선사의 디지털라이제이션이 사용하기 편리하고 유용하면 고객만족과 활용의도에 긍정적인 영향을 미치는 것을 확인할 수 있다.
