This study conducted empirical analyses to investigate the factors affecting the intention to use smart home services. Based on the previous relevant studies, the characteristics of smart home service were found to influence on the intention to use smart home service, and four variables(ubiquitous connectivity, reliability, context awareness, and security) concerning the service characteristics could be derived. And referring to the technology acceptance model(TAM), the updated TAM, IS success model, and the theory of reasoned action(TRA), three variables such as perceived ease of use, perceived usefulness and subjective norm were also likely to affect the intention to use smart home service, and the user innovativeness was inferred to play a role of moderating variable. In order to examine the research model and the hypotheses which could describe the relationship of the above mentioned variables, this study surveyed 447 people who were currently using or would use the smart home services, and then tested the hypotheses for 436 valid responses. The results of hypotheses testing showed that reliability, context awareness, and security have a significant effect on perceived usefulness and on perceived ease of use. However, it was found that ubiquitous connectivity significantly affected perceived usefulness but did not affect perceived ease of use. And perceived ease of use, perceived usefulness and subjective norm had significant effect on the intention to use smart home services. Also, user innovativeness as moderating variable was found to significantly influence on the magnitude of the relationship between ubiquitous connectivity and perceived usefulness and on that between reliability and perceived ease of use. This can be interpreted as the findings implying that innovative smart home-service users are likely to feel the smart home-services more useful than ordinary users when the degree of ubiquitous connectivity is higher, and are likely to perceive the use of smart home-services to be easier than ordinary ones when the degree of reliability is higher.

Supporting communications among users, Social Network has encouraged various information flows through relationships among them. This paper studies on mentality or attitude of Social Network Services (SNS for short) users, on the basis of Technology Acceptance Model (TAM for short) and then proposes so-called TAMS, Technology Acceptance Model for Social Network Services. SNS users make full use of SNS as channels in order to create, expand, and obtain some information related to personal concerns. We will research on how the benefits that users get by using SNS exert influence on user-perceived usability. The SNS-using benefits focus on relationship benefits that are formed by interactions among users. Provided that perceived usability affects mental or informational benefits according to involvement of SNS users, we will check how perceived usability or ease of use is connected to brand attitude.

최근 에어비앤비나 우버와 같은 협력적 소비 기반의 비즈니스모델을 가진 공유경제가 성장하고 있다. 본 논문은 공유경제에 대한 개념을 정의하고, 이용의도에 미치는 영향을 분석하였다. 본 논문은 경제적, 기능적, 경험적, 사회적 가치를 포함한 4가지 지각된 가치와 주관적 규범, 이미지, 사회적 임계점을 구성하는 3가지 사회적 영향이 공유경제 이용의도에 미치는 영향을 알아보고 신뢰와 사회적 규범, 네트워크와 사회구조를 포함한 사회적자본의 조절효과에 관심을 두고 있다. 가설을 검증하고자 온라인과 오프라인에서 설문조사를 실시하였고, 지각된 가치와 사회적 영향이 공유경제 이용의도에 미치는 영향을 알아보고자 변수별로 다중회귀분석을 실시하였다. 또한 사회적자본의 조절효과를 알아보기 위하여 위계적인 회귀분석을 실시하였다. 다중회귀분석 결과는 다음과 같다. 지각된 가치 중 경제적, 경험적 가치는 공유경제 이용의도에 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 위계적인 회귀분석의 결과에서 사회적자본은 지각된 가치와 사회적 영향의 공유경제 이용의도 관계에 있어 조절적인 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구는 지각된 가치를 통합적 분석, 기존 공유경제 연구에서 자주 다뤄지지 않았던 사회적 영향과 사회적자본의 요인을 다룬 점에 의미가 있지만, 설문조사 결과의 한계가 있었기에 향후 새로운 연구 방향성을 제시할 수 있다.

This study investigated the antecedents of VR(virtual reality) headsets acceptance and the causal relationships among self-efficacy, content diversity, the perceived usefulness, the perceived easy of use, the perceived playfulness and the adoption intention. We collected 238 survey responses and formed structural equation modeling with AMOS 23.0. The results of the analysis can be summarized as follows. The diversity of contents and self-efficacy had significant effects on perceived usefulness, perceived ease of use and perceived enjoyment, thus increasing the intention of acceptance. Perceived usefulness, perceived ease of use and perceived enjoyment had significant effects on the intention of acceptance. Perceived ease of use indirectly had an effect through increasing perceived enjoyment. The price did not affect the adoption intention and marketing communication increased the intention of acceptance. The results are expected to provide useful information to the companies related to VR.

In order to achieve the purpose of this study, total 350 questionnaires were surveyed and 311 data were finally analyzed. All data were processed through SPSS for Windows 20.0 version and AMOS 18.0. For the analysis of data, frequency analysis, reliability analysis, confirmatory factor analysis, correlation analysis, model evaluation, and structural equation modeling techniques. The results were as follows. first. Perceived Interactivity had not affect on perceived usefulness but two-way communication, user control among the sub-factor in perceived Interactivity had a positive effect on perceived ease of use. second, perceived ease of use had a positive effect on perceived usefulness. Lastly, Perceived usefulness had not affect intention to use, but perceived ease of use had a positive effect on intention use.

Recently, online environment is actively used so it will be needed to identify the factors influencing satisfaction for continuous success. In this paper, we explain the users' satisfaction of online purchasing IT and verify them through the empirical analysis. We select basic variables from TAM (Technology Acceptance Model) and add specific variables from former research about user's trait. We chose satisfaction, perceived easiness, perceived usefulness, regret and maximizing tendency. Data collected from 150 user who had prior experiences with online purchasing IT were empirically tested against the research model using partial least square (PLS). The results show that perceived easiness, perceived usefulness and regret are significantly related to satisfaction and maximizing tendency has positive impact on perceived easiness, perceived usefulness and regret significantly.

This study analyzed the impact of various factors on the use-diffusion of smart speakers. 300 survey responses of Chinese consumers were analyzed using structured models. The results show that both autonomy and adaptability had significant impacts on perceived usefulness and perceived easy of use. Multifunctionality and ability to cooperate affected perceived usefulness, while reactivity did not affected perceived usefulness or perceived easy of use. Anthropomorphism increased perceived enjoyment. Both perceived usefulness and perceived easy of use have been identified to improve the use-diffusion of smart speakers. Perceived enjoyment enhanced the variety of use. We expect these results help understand the factors that need to be considered for the design or marketing communication of smart products.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of perceived risk, perceived benefits and trust on the intention of continuous use of Internet primary banks in order to explore ways for stable establishment and growth of Internet primary banks. In addition, the mediating effects of trust on the relationships among perceived benefits, perceived risk and intention of continuous use were tested. Through an online survey, 457 people aged 20-59 years who had experience of using an Internet primary bank within the last 3 months were selected as the subjects for this study. First, perceived benefits, perceived risk, and trust were found to have a significant influence on the intention of continuous use of Internet primary banks. Second, the partial mediation effect of trust on the relationships of ease of use and functional risk with intention of continuous use was confirmed, and the full mediation effect of trust on the relationships of attractiveness and innovativeness with intention of continuous use was verified. In order to achieve sustainable growth, Internet primary banks are required to increase major benefits of customers and lower the risk levels to build firm customer trust.
