Abstract

The purpose of this study is to investigate the impact of airline customers' technology readiness on TBSS quality and intention to use. Data were collected from 153 outbound customers waiting for kiosk self-check-in and self-bag drop. For data analysis, CFA and correlation analysis were conducted to test reliability and validity, and the hypothesis was tested using SEM. The results are as follows. Among the technology readiness factors, optimism and innovativeness were found to have a significant positive effect on TBSS quality. Discomfort was found to have no effect on TBSS quality, and insecurity was found to have a significant negative effect on TBSS quality. Second, TBSS quality was found to have a significant positive effect on intention to use. Third, optimism and innovativeness were found to have a significant positive effect on intention to use, while discomfort and insecurity had no effect. Therefore, optimism and innovativeness are important to improve TBSS quality and intention to use.

본 연구에서는 기술기반셀프서비스를 이용하는 항공사 고객의 기술준비도가 TBSS 품질과 사용 의도에 미치는 영향을 파악해보고자 하였다. 연구대상은 인천국제공항에서 키오스크 셀프 체크인과 셀프백드롭을 대기중인 아웃바운드 고객 153명을 대상으로 자료를 수집하였다. 자료분석은 신뢰도 및 타당도 검정을 위해 확인요인분석 및 상관관계분석을 실시하였으며, 구조방정식 모형을 활용하여 가설을 검정하였다. 분석 결과는 아래와 같다. 기술준비도 요인 중 낙관성과 혁신성은 TBSS 품질에 유의한 정(+)의 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 기술준비도 요인 중 불편감은 TBSS 품질에 영향을 미치지 않는 것으로 나타났고, 불안감은 TBSS 품질에 유의한 부(-)의 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 둘째, TBSS 품질은 사용 의도에 유의한 정(+)의 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 셋째, 기술준비도 요인 중 낙관성과 혁신성은 사용 의도에 유의한 정(+)의 영향을 미치고, 불편감과 불안함은 영향을 미치지 않는 것으로 나타났다. 즉 TBSS 품질과 사용 의도 향상을 위해 낙관성과 혁신성이 중요함을 알 수 있다.
