Abstract

The use of RPA (Robotic Process Automation) has been recently reviewed in various industries, but it seems that it is not being applied to companies faster than ever expected. In this study, three perceived risk factors affecting the acceptance conflict and acceptance intention of RPA technology were proposed and the effects of RPA on acceptance conflict and acceptance intention were investigated using RPA experienced people, gender and ICT industries as control variables. For the research, online survey was conducted targeting office workers and analyzed the results by using SPSS 22.0 and AMOS 22.0. As a result, it was found that among the three perceived risk factors, concern about introduction failure, employment insecurity, and execution errors, employment insecurity and execution errors did not affect the acceptance conflict and acceptance intention of RPA. This research shows that concerns over the introduction failure affected the acceptance conflict and acceptance intention. In addition, the acceptance conflict was judged as a factor of the mediation effect of the acceptance intention. From the perspective of companies that want to apply RPA, the theoretical and practical implications of business management are meaningful in that they can identify and respond to particularly important factors among perceived risks.

최근 다양한 산업분야에서 RPA(Robotic Process Automation)의 활용에 대한 검토가 이루어지고 있지만, 예상보다 빠르게 기업에 적용되고 있지 않은 것으로 보인다. 본 연구에서는 신기술 수용의도에 대한 기존연구들의 긍정적인 영향을 참고하여, 다른 관접에서 RPA의 수용갈등과 수용의도에 영향을 미치는 인지된 3가지 부정적 위험요인을 제시하고, RPA유경험자, 성별 및 ICT업종을 통제변수로 하여 RPA의 수용갈등과 수용의도에 미치는 영향을 살펴보았다. 연구를 위해서 직장인을 대상으로 온라인 설문조사를 실시하였고 SPSS 22.0 및 AMOS 22.0 통계 툴을 이용하여 그 결과를 분석하였다. 그 결과 인지된 3가지 위험요인인 도입실패염려, 고용불안, 실행오류 중 고용불안과 실행오류는 RPA의 수용갈등과 수용의도에 영향을 미치지 않는 것으로 나타났다. 하지만 도입실패염려는 수용갈등과 수용의도에 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 또한 수용갈등은 수용의도의 매개역할 요인으로 판단되었다. 즉 RPA 적용실패로 인해 작업 환경이 이전보다 악화될 것이라는 우려는 수용 갈등을 일으켜 수용 의도에 영향을 주는 것으로 보아 RPA가 적용되는 상황에서 이러한 측면에 대한 세심한 검토가 필요할 것이다. 또한 도입실패염려가 수용의도에 영향을 주는데 있어서 수용갈등이 간접효과로 유의미한 영향을 주는 결과로 보아, 수용갈등이 수용의도의 매개역할 요인으로 분석되었다. 본 연구를 통해서 RPA를 적용하고자 하는 각 산업에서 경영관리의 이론적, 실무적으로 인지된 위험 중 특히 중요한 요소를 파악하고 선제적으로 대응할 수 있다는 점에서 의의가 있다.
