Abstract

Today smart devices such as smart phones, smart pads and tablets have become necessities of modern people in both daily life and business as they have widely proliferated. One of the most popular application areas of smart devices is a game-related area. Among these applications social network games, played with other users through social networks, are ranked top in their popularity. Though much research of PC games and online games have been performed, little research of social network games and the factors affecting acceptance of social network games are not vigorous yet. Therefore, we aim to analyze the factors and their structural influence on acceptance of social network games. We add a couple of factors such as Social interaction, Mobility, Subjective Norm, and Flow reg arding the characteristics of social network games and analyze the structural relationships among these factors using Structural Equation Modeling. Analysis results and implications are suggested with concluding remarks.

스마트 폰, 스마트 패드, 태블릿 등의 스마트 기기가 확산됨에 따라 일상생활에서 업무수행까지 다양한 범위와 용도로 스마트 기기가 널리 활용되고 있다. 사용자들이 가장 많이 이용하는 애플리케이션 중 하나가 게임 관련 분야이며 특히 소셜 네트워크 상에서 이루어지는 소셜 네트워크 게임은 게임 관련 앱 중에서 인기도 상위에 위치할 정도로 저변과 이용자가 늘고 있다. PC 게임이나 온라인 게임에 대한 연구는 많이 이루어져 왔으나 스마트 기기 상에서 이루어지는 소셜 네트워크 게임의 수용에 관한 연구는 거의 이루어지지 않고 있다. 본 연구에서는 스마트 기기 상에서의 소셜 네트워크 게임에 대한 기술수용모형을 설정하고 분석하였다. 기존의 기술수용모형에 소셜 네트워크 게임이 갖는 특징을 반영하기 위하여 사회적 상호작용, 이동성, 주관적 규범, 플로우 등의 추가적인 요인을 도입하여 확장된 기술수용모형을 수립하였으며 모형의 구조적인 관계를 밝히고자 구조방정식모형을 분석하고 결과와 함의를 기술하였다.
