Internet has begun various transformation and innovation in terms of society, culture and industry. Today, Social Network Service(SNS) is an exceedingly popular and useful tool for making human relationships. Previous studies related to SNS, which based on Technology Acceptance Model(TAM), were focused on user acceptance of new technology. However, they had the limitations to focus on technology acceptance, without the consideration of the cognitive factors in using SNS. This study examined how the main factors of intention to use of SNS continuously affect perceived usefulness and ease of use through familiarity, self-expression, hedonic shopping value, utilitarian shopping value and personal relationship. The results of hypothesis testing showed that familiarity, self-expression, hedonic shopping value and personal relationship have some positive impacts on the perceived usefulness and ease of use. The practical contribution of this study is to suggest useful decision alternatives concerned to marketing strategies for acquiring and retaining long-term customers related to SNS business.

The purpose of the study is to establish a successful the national tax service electronic document system and suggest an application method by investigating relationships among perceived availability, perceived usefulness and system acceptance suggested by Technology Acceptance Model(TAM). As a result, perceived availability and perceived usefulness were playing roles as mediums on the process of accepting an tax electronic document system, and information quality of the electronic document system turned out to influence on perceived availability and perceived usefulness. And perceived availability turned out to influence on perceived usefulness. This suggests that the more tax officials feel comfortable in using an tax electronic document system, the more useful they perceive it is.

본 연구에서는 스마트 의류에 대하여 소비자들이 느끼는 지각된 가치가 소비자 수용도에 미치는 영향을 조사하고자 하였다. 이를 위해 MP3 기능 재킷과 심박 모니터링 스포츠웨어를 대상으로 소비자들의 수용도에 대한 연구모형을 수립하였고, 선행연구들을 근거로 각 구성요인 간의 관계에 대해 연구가설을 설정하였으며, 그 경로가설을 검증하였다. Davis(1989)가 제안한 TAM을 적용하여 스마트 의류의 수용과정을 설명한 결과 모형의 적합성을 검증하였으며, 8 개의 경로가설 중 6 개의 경로가 통계적으로 유의함이 밝혀져 채택되었다. 그 결과는, 첫째, 지각된 사용용이성은 유용성을 거쳐 태도에 간접적으로 영향을 주었고, 태도는 다시 수용의도에 영향을 주는 것으로 나타났다. 둘째, 지각된 유용성은 지각된 가치에 대한 태도에 영향을 주는 것으로 나타났으나, 스마트 의류의 수용의도에는 영향을 미치지 않는 것으로 분석되었다. 셋째, 지각된 가치가 스마트 의류에 대한 태도와 수용의도에 둘 다 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 넷째, 스마트 의류에 대한 태도는 구매의도에 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다.

The mobile computing environment has already matured and mobile services are activated throughout many industries. In the following years, these changes are expected to evolve into a ubiquitous computing environment. In the meantime, whether newly developed information technologies will thrive or diminished depends on user's intention to adopt them. Hence, the necessity of user-centered research considering ubiquitous computing in mobile computing environment is obvious. This study, thus, investigated ubiquitous factors in various literature related to ubiquitous computing and technology acceptance and it proposes a research model of the ubiquitous factors affecting user's intention to use mobile services, in terms of meaning(connectivity, mobility), service(contextual offer), compatibility(compatibility), and infrastructure(privacy, truth). The proposed model is expected to help both researchers and practitioners extend their understanding about the ubiquitous factors in mobile computing environment

This study is progressed for understanding of the acceptance intention differentiated through the view of smart phone non-user's adopting plan. And the research model is proposed in the view of new technology adopting, Innovation Diffusion Theory, Rogers 1995, and Technology Acceptance Model, Davis 1989. In the survey, SPSS 18.0 and AMOS 18.0 are used to analyze the 685 smart phone non-users data. The results of the feasibility analysis and the factor analysis show the measured variables determined in the statistical significant range. Also, 11 hypotheses, among the 16 hypotheses, are adopted by the hypothesis tests through the path analysis, one-way-ANOVA and hierarchial regression analysis. The results indicate variables affect on the non-smart phone user's adopting intention. The primary factor is the perceived usefulness, secondary factor is the social property, and the rest is the playfulness. And, the primary adoption factor is affected to early majority and late majority among each innovation adopters.

The purpose of this study is to develop a Technology Acceptance Model (TAM), to determine differences in gender perceptions in adopting non-cash transactions. In this study, the authors provide a measurement of differences in gender perceptions in adopting cashless, which refers to perceived usefulness, perceived ease-of-use, and perceived security. Respondents in this study were students from the millennial generation who are very familiar with the use of technology, especially non-cash transactions. The data collection technique used in this study was a survey, by distributing questionnaires to 260 respondents. The data were processed statistically through Structural Equation Modeling (SEM). The results of this study indicate that for men, ease-of-use of transactions does not increase the use of non-cash transactions. Meanwhile, for women, perceived ease-of-use has a significant and positive effect on the use of non-cash transactions. Furthermore, perceptions of usability and security have a positive and significant impact on using non-cash transactions. It was also found that female students had a positive, but not significant, effect on the use of non-cash transactions. This means that there has been a difference in the perception of gender, between men and women, in responding to the use of non-cash transactions.
