Abstract

This study investigated the influence relationship of information service using QR code on customer's service quality perception and loyalty behavior for medical service in the physical environment. As a result of the study, when medical institutions provide location information services about the physical environment by utilizing the usefulness and reliability of QR codes, the perceived quality of customers' QR information will be strengthened, and furthermore, loyalty behavior toward medical services will increase in the future. Considering the spread of smartphones as a popular digital medium today, marketers use QR codes to connect and provide four-dimensional information services without time and place restrictions, thereby strengthening the interactive experience with customers. And these efforts suggest that it can contribute to improving service image and strengthening loyalty beyond simply providing service information to companies.

본 연구는 물리적 환경에 대한 의료서비스를 대상으로 QR코드를 활용한 정보서비스가 고객의 서비스품질 인식과 이후 충성행동에 미치는 영향관계를 검토하였다. 연구결과 의료기관이 QR코드의 유용성과 신뢰성 등을 활용하여 물리적 환경에 대한 위치정보서비스를 제공할 경우 고객들의 QR정보에 대한 지각된 품질이 강화되며, 더 나아가 향후 의료서비스에 대한 충성행동도 증가될 수 있음을 확인하였다. 오늘날 대중적 디지털 매체로서 스마트폰의 보급이 활성화되고 있음을 고려할 때, 마케터들은 QR코드를 활용하여 시간과 장소의 제약없이 4차원적 정보서비스를 연계하여 제공함으로써 고객과의 상호작용적 체험성을 강화시킬 수 있다. 그리고 이러한 노력은 기업들에게 단순한 서비스정보의 제공에서 더 나아가 서비스이미지 향상과 충성도 강화에 기여할 수 있음을 시사해주고 있다.
