본 연구는 모바일 온라인 게임에 대해 중국 이용자들을 대상으로 이용 가치 및 편익을 평가하는 속성인 이용추구성향, 이용혜택, 서비스품질, 시스템품질 등이 이용 만족도에 어떠한 영향을 미치고 있는지를 규명하였다. 실증분석결과, 이용 가치 및 편익의 4가지 속성에 대한 구성요인들이 모두 긍정적인 영향을 미치고 상황에서 이용혜택과 서비스품질 속성에서는 게임유형에 따라 구성요인의 영향정도가 다르게 나타나고 있다. 이용추구성향에서는 게임유형 간에 차이 없이 혁신추구와 관계추구가 비슷하게 중요한 영향요인으로 나타났다. 이용혜택에서는 게임유형 간에 차이를 보여 싱글플레이어 게임에서는 유대감, 멀티플레이어게임에서는 성취감이 가장 중요한 영향요인으로 나타났다. 서비스품질에서는 게임유형 간에 차이를 보여 싱글플레이어게임에서는 게임용이성, 멀티플레이어게임에서는 게임기능성이 가장 중요한 영향요인으로 나타났다. 시스템품질에서는 게임유형 간에 차이 없이 이용편의성이 가장 중요한 영향요인으로 나타났다. 이러한 결과를 바탕으로 본 연구는 게임 산업 내 기업들에게 게임의 개발과 충성도를 제고하기 위한 전략을 제시하였다.
