Abstract

This study focused on analyzing the effects of ease of use, usefulness on switching barrier and loyalty in the Korean telecommunication market. This study formulated a structural equational model, in which ease of use was adapted as an exogenous variable and in which usefulness, switching barrier were included as intermediate variables, having influences to the endogenous variable such as customer satisfaction and loyalty. In this study 6 hypotheses had been formulated, on which this research model was based, in order to test the significance of structured paths, suggested, in the previous articles, that having high interactive effects. This study collected the effective questionnaires of 452 respondents who had jobs nationwide and who used the telecommunication terminals and then analyzed with AMOS19 and SPSS19 to test the hypotheses. As a result, the conclusions are as follows: First, the ease of use and usefulness had significant effects on the switching barrier. Secondly, ease of use had a significant effect on the usefulness of customers, by which customers' satisfaction was influenced at low significant level. After all, the effects of ease of use and usefulness on switching barrier and satisfaction of the users of smart phones had been shown at the highest level.

본 연구는 한국이동통신시장에서 새로운 제품과 서비스인 스마트폰이 도입됨에 따라 용이성과 유용성이 전환장벽, 고객만족과 고객충성도에 미치는 영향을 분석하는데 초점을 두었다. 본 연구는 용이성을 외생변인으로 하고, 유용성, 전환장벽, 고객만족과 고객충성도를 내생변인으로 하여, 변인 간의 영향관계를 파악하는 구조방정식모형을 설계하였다. 본 연구에서는 기술수용 모형에서 유래한 용이성과 유용성을 도입하여 품질과 고객만족 관계를 연결하여 그 영향관계를 분석하였다.본 연구에서는 스마트폰의 사용 용이성과 유용성이 미치는 영향관계 경로를 6개 가설로 구축하여 검정하였다. 가설검정을 위해서 452명을 대상으로 설문조사를 실시하여 자료를 수집하였으며, AMOS19와 SPSS19를 이용하여 실증분석을 하였다. 검정결과는 다음과 같다. 첫째, 스마트폰 용이성과 유용성은 전환장벽에 유의한 영향을 미치고 있었다. 둘째, 용이성은 유용성에 유의한 영향을 미치고 있으며, 셋째, 유용성은 고객만족에 유의한 큰 영향을 주고 있었다.
