인공지능 기술이 발전하며, 다양한 산업군에 사람의 업무를 보조하는 인공지능 시스템이 적용되고 있다. 그 중 콜센터 상담사의 상담 업무를 보조하는 자연어 처리 기술 역시 활발히 연구되고 있는 분야 중 하나이다. 콜센터 상담사 보조 시스템은 상담사를 보조하기에 앞서 고객과 상담사의 대화로 진행되는 상담이 어떤 내용인지 정확히 인식해야 한다. 이때, 시스템이 상담의 목적을 대표할 수 있는 발화를 판별한다면 상담 내용을 보다 명확히 인식할 수 있다. 본 논문은 구어체로 진행되는 상담 스크립트의 특징을 주목하여, 실시간으로 상담 내용을 분석하고, 중요한 의미를 가지는 발화를 인지하여 추출하는 모델을 제안한다. 실험 결과, 제안한 모델이 기존 추출 요약과 비교하여, 우수한 성능을 보였다. 본 논문에 제안한 모델을 적용하여, 주요 상담 발화를 추출하고, 관련된 상담 문서 검색, 상담 내용 분류 등에 적용할 수 있다.

Recently, the traditional call center, which has an important role as the customer's primary contact point, has been transformed into the omni-channel contact center which supports an additional variety of access channels in addition to phone calls in order to improve customer accessibility and convenience. The omni-channel contact center has agents on each channel which are vital in determining the response rate and waiting time for the customer. In traditional call centers, agents can be assigned to a call based on the characteristics of the call, however in omni-channel contact centers, the characteristics of issues vary and come in through multiple channels, each with their own characteristics, making it difficult to assign the appropriate agent for the issue. Customers must also be processed at the same time, adding an additional layer of complexity to the issue. This paper analyzes and simulates an omni-channel contact center that accommodates email, chat, voice calls and video consultation, and investigates how to optimize the allocation of agents.

In call centers where customers contact a firm's customer service without face-to-face interaction, customer service representatives (CSRs) determine its service competitiveness. In other words, a firm's service excellence relies on its CSRs. Drawing on the concept of agility from service and information technologies studies, this study conceptualizes customer response capability as a variable consisting of customer response expertise and customer response agility, and further verifies its effects on customer service performance. Moreover, this study examines whether a firm's digital and human knowledge resources are related to CSRs' customer response capability. To empirically test the proposed hypotheses, the partial least squares analysis is conducted with a total of 371 responses collected on CSRs from two insurance call centers. The findings indicate that a firm's digital and human knowledge resources enhance CSRs' customer response expertise and customer response agility, thereby increasing customer service performance. The results draw the conclusion that CSRs' customer response capability is a key antecedent of superior customer service.

본 연구에서는 자동차보험 회사의 고객센터 상담사를 대상으로 감정노동과 심리적 소진의 관계를 분석하였다. 그 결과 첫째, 고객센터 상담사들은 감정노동의 표면화 행위보다는 내면화 행위에 대한 스트레스가 더 높은 것으로 나타났다. 둘째, 심리적 소진은 개인의 특성에 따라 차이를 보였다. 정서적 고갈은 여성 상담사일수록, 개인적 성취감 결여는 고졸일수록, 1일 전화응대시간이 8시간 초과할수록, 월평균가계소득이 낮을수록 더욱 높아지는 것으로 밝혀졌다. 셋째, 상담사의 개인특성과 감정노동이 심리적 소진에 미치는 영향력을 알아본 결과, 감정노동의 표면화 행위가 높을수록 정서적 고갈을 증가시켰고, 월평균 가계소득이 높을수록 정서적 고갈을 감소시켰다. 개인적 성취감 결여는 감정노동의 표면화 행위가 높을수록, 1일 전화 응대시간이 많을수록, 높아지는 경향을 보였으며, 월평균 가계소득이 높을수록, 감정노동의 내면화 행위가 많을수록 개인적 성취감 결여는 감소되는 것으로 밝혀졌다.

The results of this study find significant relations of smart work and supervisor's supports in relations to personal and job-related turnover. The implication is smart work and supervisor's supports play significant role in increasing job satisfactions. Major finding is too much supervisor's supports ignoring agent's situations may bring reverse effects on relieving turnover.

기존의 온라인 심리 상담 서비스는 상담 전 내담자의 심리 상태를 정확하게 판단하지 못한다는 문제점이 있었다. 또한 자신의 심리 상태를 정확히 알고 있지 못한 내담자는 적합한 상담사에게 상담받기 어려웠다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 이를 개선한 매칭 방법을 제안한다. 상담 시작 전 내담자의 상태를 정신의학 진단 기준을 바탕으로 보다 정확하게 진단한다. 내담자의 진단 결과와 상담사의 상담 분야를 바탕으로 클러스터링 한다. 동일 클러스터 내의 내담자와 상담사를 매칭하여 상담을 진행한다.
