Abstract

Social scientists have studied interaction between human beings, while computer scientists have expanded the research domain from human-human to human-machine, human-agent, or machine-machine. The reason why an adoption of Smart Work is failed is an anxiety about ICT usage which middle managers have. It is important to explore the concept both to reduce an anxiety on an application and to increase continuance to use it. Therefore this study takes "empathy" as a key factor to play a leading role both to relieve the anxiety about the application and to improve the intention to use it. The data is gathered from a survey of undergraduate who have experience to use MS-Access. The findings show that application empathy decrease the application anxiety, but the empathy increase the continuance mediated by cognitive and affective attitude.

기존 연구는 컴퓨터가 사람의 감성을 파악하고 반응하는 점에 관심을 두어 왔다. 하지만 사용자가 애플리케이션을 대상으로 갖는 감정이입에 대한 역할을 구체적으로 다루고 있진 못한다. 스마트워크가 활성화되지 못하는 이유 중 하나가 중간관리자의 정보통신기술 사용에 대한 두려움이라는 점을 고려할 때, 새로운 애플리케이션에 대한 불안감을 줄이고 지속적으로 사용할 수 있는 동인이 무엇인지를 밝히는 연구는 의의가 있다고 할 수 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 애플리케이션에 대한 불안감을 줄이고, 지속적인 사용을 증대시키는 요인으로 감정이입의 역할에 대해 탐색적으로 살펴보았다. 설문조사로 수집된 자료를 바탕으로 통계 분석을 한 결과를 통해 애플리케이션에 대한 감정이입이 애플리케이션 사용 대한 불안감을 줄이며, 동시에 애플리케이션 감정이입이 매개변수인 정서적 인지적 태도를 거쳐 해당 애플리케이션 대한 지속적 사용의도를 강화한다는 점을 실증하였다.
