Abstract

Globally, cloud service is a core infrastructure that improves industrial productivity and accelerates innovation through convergence and integration with various industries, and it is expected to continuously expand the market size and spread to all industries. In particular, due to the global pandemic caused by COVID-19, the introduction of cloud services was an opportunity to be recognized as a core infrastructure to cope with the untact era. However, it is still at the preliminary stage for market expansion of cloud service in Korea. This paper aims to empirically analyze how cloud services can be accepted by users by each industry through extended Technology Acceptance Model(TAM), and what factors influence the acceptance and avoidance of cloud services to users. For this purpose, the impact and factors on the acceptance intention of cloud services were analyzed through the hypothesis test through the proposed extended technology acceptance model. The industrial sector selected four industrial sectors of education, finance, manufacturing and health care and derived factors by examining the parameters of TAM, key characteristics of the cloud and other factors. As a result of the empirical analysis, differences were found in the factors that influence the intention to accept cloud services for each of the four industry sectors, which means that there is a difference in perception of the introduction or use of cloud services by industry sector. Eventually it is expected that this study will not only help to understand the intention of using cloud services by industry, but also help cloud service providers expand and provide cloud services to each industry.

전 세계적으로 클라우드 서비스는 다양한 산업과의 융합을 통하여 산업의 생산성을 향상시키고 혁신을 가속화하는 핵심 인프라로써 지속적인 시장규모의 확대와 전 산업으로의 확산이 전망되고 있다. 특히 COVID-19로 인한 글로벌 팬데믹 현상으로 인해 클라우드 서비스는 언택트 시대를 대응하기 위한 핵심 인프라로 인식하는 계기가 되었다. 그러나 아직 국내에서는 시장 확대를 위한 전 단계에 머물러 있는 것이 현실이다. 본 논문은 확장된 TAM을 통하여 각 산업별로 클라우드 서비스가 어떠한 경로로 사용자에게 수용될 수 있으며 어떠한 요인들이 클라우드 서비스를 사용자에게 수용과 회피의 영향을 미치는지를 실증 분석하고자 한다. 이를 위하여 클라우드 서비스 이용의도를 분석하기 위한 산업분야를 선정하고, 제안한 확장된 기술수용모델을 통하여 가설검정을 통해 각 산업별 클라우드 서비스 수용의도에 미치는 영향과 요인을 분석하였다. 산업분야는 교육, 금융, 제조, 의료의 4개의 산업분야를 선정하였고 TAM의 매개변수와 클라우드의 핵심특징과 기타 요인을 종합적으로 검토하여 요인을 도출하였다. 실증 분석을 수행한 결과 4개 산업분야별로 클라우드 서비스 수용의도에 영향을 미치는 요인들에 차이점이 나타났는데, 이는 산업별로 클라우드 서비스의 도입이나 이용에 대한 인식의 차이가 있음을 의미한다. 궁극적으로 본 연구를 통하여 산업별로 클라우드 서비스 이용의도를 파악하는데 도움을 줄 수 있을 뿐만 아니라 클라우드 서비스 제공자들이 각 산업에 클라우드 서비스를 확대하여 제공하는데 도움을 줄 수 있을 것으로 기대한다.
