Abstract

IT has been receiving increasing attention for cloud computing services. However, despite a lot of attention, there are limitations of existing research on cloud computing services. There are researches respectively about the benefits and costs that would occur if you choose a cloud computing services. However, in real life, consumers should be considered about the benefits and costs at the same time if they choose and use a cloud computing service. Therefore, this study examines the interaction effect of benefits and costs on cloud computing service. The findings demonstrate that three independent variables(usefulness, social influence, and innovativeness) positively(+) affect the perceived value. However, showed the benefits and costs of interaction effects analysis, usefulness and innovation on the cost influence the perceived value in statistics. The interaction of the usefulness & cost shows negative(-) effect and the interaction of the innovativeness & cost has positve(+) effect on the perceived value. In conclusion, this study provide that consumers need to consider costs with benefits when they use a cloud computing service.

클라우드 컴퓨팅 서비스에 대한 관심이 높아지고 있다. 하지만 많은 관심에도 불구하고 클라우드 컴퓨팅 서비스에 대한 기존 연구는 한계점이 있다. 선행연구들은 이 서비스가 제공하는 많은 혜택에 대한 연구와 이 서비스를 선택할 경우 발생할 수 있는 문제점에 대해 독립적으로 연구하고 있다. 하지만 실제 생활에서 소비자는 클라우드 컴퓨팅 서비스를 선택할 경우 혜택과 비용에 대해 동시에 고려한다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 클라우드 컴퓨팅 서비스 선택 시 혜택과 비용에 대한 상호작용 효과를 탐색적으로 분석하였다. 분석 결과 독립변수로써 유용성, 사회적영향, 그리고 혁신성은 인지된 가치에 모두 정(+)의 유의한 영향을 주었다. 하지만 혜택과 비용과의 상호작용 효과 분석 결과 유용성과 혁신성만이 비용과의 인지된 가치에 대해 통계학적으로 유의한 것으로 나타났다. 유용성은 비용과의 인지된 가치에 대해 상호작용 효과에 대해 음(-)의 결과가 나타났으며, 혁신성은 비용과의 인지된 가치에 대해 상호작용 효과 검정 결과 정(+)의 상호작용 효과가 있는 것으로 나타났다. 결국 본 연구는 클라우드 컴퓨팅 서비스를 선택할 경우 소비자가 느끼는 혜택의 경우 비용을 고려할 때 인지된 가치에 서로 다른 영향을 줄 수 있음을 실증했다는 점에서 의의가 있다고 하겠다.
