Abstract

When the crucial role of the agent in communicating with the customer is acknowledged well enough to relieve the agent's stress, it will lead to the decrease of the agent's emotional labor and the improvement of the business organization's performance simultaneously. However, the research on the relationship between information system and the emotional labor has been scarcely conducted even though the importance of the emotional labor is actively researched and discussed these days. Therefore, much effort has been put in this study to fine out how the quality of airline call center information system affects expectations-conformation and how expectations-conformation and self-efficacy affect performance of Emotional Labors. Analysis of the results to target a call center agent 436 people, When you provide them with quality information systems, it increased satisfaction and pride in their job. This mechanisms subsequently reduces the strength of the emotion labor, which ultimately improves the service performance. The implications of this study can be summarized as following: First, this research presented practical guidelines to the organization's decision-makers related to the airline call center operations in order to introduce and expand successful call center information system. Second, this research suggested the possible method to inspect and diagnose the system by way of applying the measurement model mentioned in this research into the airline information system and analyzing it. Third, the performance-measuring model developed in order to measure the performance of the airline call center information system can also be used when we carry out the performance-measuring task in the similar information system as the basis of diagnosing the situation and presenting the driving directions.

콜센터 정보시스템에서 상담원은 고객과의 상호작용에서 매우 중요한 역할을 담당한다. 이러한 정보시스템을 효과적으로 유용하게 사용할 때 상담원의 업무 스트레스가 줄고, 이는 상담원의 감정노동을 감소시켜 개인과 조직의 성과를 향상시키는 결과로 이어진다. 최근 감정노동에 대한 논의가 활발하지만, 대표적인 감정노동 직군인 콜센터 상담원을 대상으로 한 상담원과 고객응대에 필수적인 정보시스템 간의 상호작용 효과에 대한 연구가 부족한 실정이다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 항공사 콜센터 정보시스템품질이 기대일치에 어떤 영향을 미치는지, 그리고 기대일치와 자기효능감이 감정노동성과에 어떠한 영향을 끼치는지 규명하고자 하였다. 콜센터 상담원 436명을 대상으로 분석한 결과, 이들에게 양질의 정보시스템을 제공할 때 직무에 대한 만족도와 자부심이 높아지고, 이는 감정노동의 강도를 낮추어 궁극적으로 서비스성과를 향상하는 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구의 시사점은 다음과 같다. 첫째, 항공사 콜센터 정보시스템 운영과 관련한 조직의 의사결정자에게 성공적인 콜센터 정보시스템 도입 및 확장을 위한 실무지침을 제공했다. 둘째, 본 연구에서 제안한 측정모형을 항공사 정보시스템에 적용 및 분석해 봄으로써 시스템 사용에 대한 점검 및 진단을 수행 할 수 있는 방안을 제시하였다. 마지막으로 이론적으로 구축된 항공사 콜센터 정보시스템과 측정모형에 대하여 측정항목 간 인과관계를 실증적으로 분석함으로써 콜센터 정보시스템의 성과측정을 위한 확고한 전략적 안목을 제시하였다.
