Abstract

This study examined the factors affecting the intention to use the wearable device consumers and the factors that have positive effects on the intention to use the wearable device or the consumers who have not yet used the wearable device. The purpose of this study was to examine the perceived usefulness, perceived usefulness, consumer individuality (individual innovation, self-efficacy, subjective norm) and wearable device characteristics (aesthetics, compatibility) of technology acceptance model (TAM). The results of the analysis are as follows. This study focused on the effect of consumers on the intention to use. (TPB) and Davis (1989) proposed technology acceptance model which is applied to various fields to predict the intention to use as it is proved validity and usefulness as a theory explaining various social behaviors. TAM) in order to examine the intention to use. In addition, we added consumer characteristics and variables related to product characteristics of wearable devices, which have not been studied much in previous studies.

본 연구는 웨어러블 디바이스 소비자의 사용의도에 영향을 미치는 요인에 관한 주제를 가지고 웨어러블 디바이스를 사용한 경험이 있거나, 아직 사용경험이 없는 소비자의 사용의도에 긍정적 영향을 끼치는 요인들을 파악하였다. 일반 성인남녀를 대상으로 기술수용모델(TAM)의 지각된 사용용이성, 지각된 유용성 그리고 소비자 개인특성(개인 혁신성, 자기효능감, 주관적 규범)과 웨어러블 디바이스의 특성(심미성, 호환성)이 사용의도에 미치는 영향에 대해 분석하였다. 본 연구는 소비자 개인의 사용의도에 미치는 영향에 초점을 맞췄다. 본 연구에 사용된 설문지는 총 296부이며 표본추출은 임의표본추출을 사용하였으며 SPSS 23.0으로 분석하였다. 회귀분석 결과, 사용의도에 대해서 지각된 사용, 자기효능감이 유의미하게 나타났으며, 나머지 변수는 유의미한 결과를 발견하기 어려웠다. TAM, 개인특성, 제품특성으로 웨어러블 디바이스에 대한 사용의도를 살펴본 본 연구는 제품의 종류의 특징에 따라 한계가 있음을 다시 확인하였다.
