Abstract

With the development of information technology, the popularization of 5G and cloud computing has accelerated the circulation and digital transformation of information. In the network information society where information is rapidly increasing, it is very important to have the ability to manage and collect the required information. In particular, the information storage and management functions of cloud services are widely used among young people. This research takes the social factors of accepting cloud services as the breakthrough point, and takes young consumers aged 20-30 as the survey object, and designs a research model according to the development of cloud computing technology. The findings verify the influence of social factors on cloud service acceptance and 20-30-year-old consumers' intention to use cloud services. The partial and complete mediating effects of perceived ease of use were verified from the influence relationship between social factors and exploitation intention. Finally, this study provides inspiration for the development direction of cloud computing technology through empirical analysis.

정보기술의 발전과 다양한 관련 서비스의 보급으로, 5G와 클라우드 컴퓨팅과 같은 새로운 서비스를 통해 소비자들의 일상생활에 변화가 발생하고, 유통경로 및 비즈니스 패러다임의 디지털화 전환이 더욱 가속화되고 있다. 특히 클라우드 서비스의 정보 저장 및 관리 기능은 20-30대의 이용자들을 중심으로 널리 사용되고 보편화되었다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 클라우드 서비스의 수용 관련 사회적 요인을 중심으로, 새로운 기술에 대한 소비자들의 이용의도를 분석하고자, 20-30대의 젊은 소비자를 대상으로 연구를 진행하였다. 연구 결과는 클라우드 서비스의 수용 관련 사회적 요인과 소비자가 클라우드 서비스의 이용의도의 영향관계를 검증하였고, 사회적 요인과 이용의도 간의 영향관계에서 지각된 용이성의 부분 및 완전 매개효과도 검증하였다. 본 연구는 클라우드 서비스의 안정적이고 지속가능발전을 위한 시사점을 제시하는데 연구적 의의가 있다.
