Abstract

The purpose of this study is to investigate the impacts of individual difference toward technology and situational influences on use intention of Self-Service Technology. While the previous research related to SSTs focuses on individual tendency toward technology, little research has been done on the impact of situational influences on usage intention of SSTs. This study proposed Technology Readiness Index for measuring individual tendency toward technology and categorized situational influences into two dimensions: location convenience, employee presence. The empirical testing of the research was conducted on 20' users who have prior experience in using SSTs except for ATMs in bank. This study demonstrated that the people who are favorable emotions positively affect SSTs. Also this study confirmed that it is effective to build strategies to form favorable attitude and usage intention of knowledge of SSTs rather than method through service employees. Finally, SSTs were distributed for customers.

본 연구는 셀프서비스기술 도입에 있어 개인의 기술 수용 성향과 주변 상황이 미치는 영향을 조사하는 것을 목적으로 하고 있다. 셀프서비스기술 관련 연구는 주로 개인이 가지고 있는 기술에 대한 성향을 중심으로 연구가 이루어졌으며 상황적 요인에 대한 연구는 상대적으로 미비한 실정이다. 이에 본 연구에서는 개인의 기술 수용 성향을 기술준비도의 네 가지 구성요소를 제시하였으며 상황적 영향은 위치 편의성과 서비스 직원의 존재로 분류하였다. 본 연구에서는 셀프서비스기술을 이용한 적 있는 20대를 연구의 표본으로 하였으며 은행 ATM은 연구대상에서 제외하였다. 분석 결과, 기술에 대해 호의적인 감정을 가진 사람일수록 셀프서비스기술에 긍정적인 영향을 미친다는 것을 확인하였다. 또한 셀프서비스기술을 고객에게 유리하게 배치하고 서비스 직원을 통한 방법보다는 셀프서비스기술에 대한 지식을 사전에 전달하는 전략이 호의적인 태도 형성과 사용 의도에 더 효과적이라는 것을 증명하였다.
