The purpose of this study is to examine the factors influencing usage intention of social network service (SNS) in social enterprise. This model tests various theoretical research hypotheses relating the social enterprise, task-technology fit (TTF), technology acceptance model (TAM), and usage intention of SNS. The data were gathered from 84 questionnaire respondents. Smart partial least square (PLS) 2.0 have been utilized for deriving the study results. The result of hypothesis testing are as follows. First, TTF positively influence perceived usefulness, perceived ease of use, and usage intention of SNS. Second, perceived usefulness positively influence usage intention of SNS. But perceived ease of use does not influence usage intention of SNS. This study will provide theoretical and practical implications of TTF and usage intention of SNS in social enterprise.

최근 들어 모바일뱅킹 서비스는 사용자들이 급속히 증가하고, 금융기관과 이동통신 업체의 적극적인 투자가 빠르게 확대되고 있어서 시장의 발전 가능성이 높이 기대되고 있다. 그러나 아직까지 모바일뱅킹 서비스는 고객의 서비스 만족도나 서비스 제공자의 수익 면에서 만족할 만한 수준을 나타내고 있지는 못하다. 따라서 본 연구는 사용자들이 모바일뱅킹을 사용하는데 결정적인 영향을 미치는 요인을 제시하여 전략적 경쟁 도구로서의 모바일뱅킹 확산을 지원하고자 한다. 이를 위해 문헌고찰을 통해 모바일뱅킹 서비스의 특징 및 현황을 파악하고 유용성, 사용성, 서비스품질, 사회적 영향, 즉시 접속성 등의 요인을 도출하여 모바일뱅킹 기술수용모형을 제시하고 검증하였다 분석결과 모바일뱅킹 사용에 영향을 미치는 요인은 모바일뱅킹의 유용성, 서비스 품질 그리고 즉시 접속성이 유의한 것으로 나타났으며, 반면 사용성과 사회적 영향은 유의하지 않은 것으로 나타났다. 이러한 연구 결과는 많은 시사점을 제공하며, 앞으로 좀 더 추가적인 연구와 토의가 이루어져야 할 것이다.

Recently, along with, there is much interest and active studies related to users' intention of adopting smartphone. The main purpose of this study is, based on previous literature reviews related to mobile phone and smartphone, to apply modified Technology Acceptance Model to test the factors including enjoyment, social influence, perceived usefulness and perceived convenience that affect the adoption of smartphone. The results show that enjoyment and social influence positively affect perceived usefulness and perceived convenience, and perceived convenience also positively affects perceived usefulness and intention to use. According to statistical results by PLS structural equation analysis, we propose implications and limitations of this study and also briefly points out future research direction. We hope this exploratory study would be beneficial to future work in this area.

The purpose of this study is to examine how the control of an agent according to a driver's social status affects user experience factors in a multi-user environment of self-driving vehicles. We conducted a user study where participants viewed four scenarios (route changing/parking x accepting/declining a fellow passenger's command) and answered a survey, followed by a post-hoc interview. Results showed that either the routing scenario or accepting a passenger's command scenario had higher usefulness (convenience, effectiveness, efficiency) than their counterparts. Regardless of the car owner's social status, participants rated AI agents more positively when they met their goals effectively. They also stressed that vehicle owners should always be in control of their agents. This study can provide guidelines for designing future autonomous driving scenarios where an agent interacts with a driver, and passengers.

This study investigated the consumer acceptance process of the fourth industrial revolution new product to be introduced into the market in the future. The 4th Industrial Revolution new products are technological advances compared to the existing ones. The technology acceptance model that was used in the past has been modified to reflect variables like the social effects of the 4th Industrial Revolution, expected experience, and perceived risk. Modified models were proposed and verified. Six representative new products of the 4th Industrial Revolution were selected and examined by 40 respondents, and the hypotheses were verified using programs such as SPSS and AMOS. And conclusions and implications are as follows. First, the innovativeness of the fourth industrial revolution new products influences positive evaluation factors such as expected experience and perceived usefulness and it also affect positively to the perceived risk. In addition, the expected experience of the fourth industrial revolution new products has a great effect on the perceived usefulness and social influence, but it didn't affect to the perceived risk. Like the results of the TAM model, purchase intention of the fourth industrial revolution new products are strongly influenced by perceived usefulness. Finally, the perceived risk of the new product of the 4th Industrial Revolution had no statistically significant effect on the purchase intention, and the social influence of the 4th Industrial Revolution had a significant effect on the purchase intention. In general, respondents are highly aware of the social impact of the Fourth Industrial Revolution and seem to be very positive in this respect.

'Live commerce', a brand new format of online shopping, is actively promoted in China recently. This research focused on 'Taobao-live', China's largest live commerce platform to investigate the relationships among para-social interaction, source characteristics (e.g., trustworthiness, attractiveness, and expertise), perceived ease of use, perceived usefulness, and shopping intention based on Technology Acceptance Model. A total of 536 Taobao live users were recruited through the Chinese research platform. The results showed that para-social interactivity positively affected perceived ease of use and usefulness, whereas the source characteristics had no significant effect on consumers' perceptions. Furthermore, higher perceived ease of use generated higher perceived usefulness, and both perceived ease of use and usefulness positively influenced consumers' intention to shop through Taobao live. This research can provide theoretical background for understanding the potential of live commerce platforms and help brands come up with effective online shopping strategies using live commerce platforms.

본 연구의 목적은 현재 급속히 확산되고 있는 온라인 뱅킹의 수용에 영향을 미치는 요인을 분석하기 위한 것으로, 기존 연구를 바탕으로 서비스 품질과 비용이라는 온라인 뱅킹 서비스 관점, 이용자의 태도의 관점(유용성, 용이성, 사용자 특성), 그리고 사회적 영향의 관점을 변인으로 추출하였다. 한편 성숙기에 접어든 인터넷 뱅킹 서비스와 도입기에 있는 모바일 뱅킹 서비스를 비교하기 위해 온라인 뱅킹 서비스 유형이라는 조절변수를 사용하였다. 연구 결과에 따르면, 유용성과 용이성, 개인사용자 특성, 사회적 영향, 서비스 품질, 비용의 모든 요인 이 온라인 뱅킹 서비스의 수용에 유의한 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 그러나 사회적 영향과 비용 은 인터넷 뱅킹과 모바일 뱅킹 서비스간에 영향 정도가 다른 것으로 나타났다.

e-Loyalty는 인터넷 웹사이트나 커뮤니티에 대한 충성도를 의미하며, 현재의 충성도를 의미하는 밀착도(stickiness)와 미래의 충성도를 의미하는 지속적 이용 의도로 구성된다. 본 연구에서는 이러한 e-Loyalty에 영향을 미치는 주요요인으로 사용자 참여, 네트워크 효과, 사회적 영향 유용성을 선정하였다. 연구결과, 현재의 충성도인 밀착도에는 사용자 참여, 네트워크 효과, 사회적영향, 유용성이 모두 유의하게 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 그러나 미래의 충성도민 지속적 사용의도에는 사용자 참여와 유용성만이 유의한 영창을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 이는 사용자 참여가 기업의 현재 이익을 결정하는 중요한 요인이 되기도 하지만, 지속 가능할 미래의 경쟁력을 확보하는 데에도 중요하다는 것을 시사하는 것이다. 따라서 인터넷 기반의 기업은 사용자 참여를 향상시킬 방안을 적극 모색할 필요가 있다.
