오늘날 온라인 메신저는 현대인의 주요한 의사소통 도구라 해도 과언이 아니다. 텍스트와 이미지를 기반으로 소통하는 메신저는 물론, 현재는 음성이나 화면 공유를 통해 실시간으로 상호작용할 수 있는 서비스가 MZ 세대에게 활발히 이용되고 있다. 본 연구는 새로운 커뮤니케이션 형태인 음성채팅 서비스 사용자의 이용 동기를 알아보기 보고, 사용자의 경험을 결정하는 요인 중 하나인 만족감에 대한 이용 동기들의 영향을 탐색적으로 알아보고자 하였다. 그 결과, 음성채팅 서비스에 대한 5가지 주요 이용 동기(관계 형성, 유용성, 관계 유지, 의사소통 보완, 거리감 극복)를 추출하였고, 이 중 유용성과 관계 유지 동기가 사용자의 만족감에 정적인 영향을 미쳤다. 본 연구는 비대면 환경에서 소통하는 사용자들의 다양한 니즈는 물론, 그들의 긍정적인 경험을 위해 충족 시켜야 할 요인을 조명하였으며, 이러한 결과는 온라인 커뮤니케이션 시장에 적절하게 활용되어야 할 것이다.
