초록

디지털 기술 발전은 전통적 서비스 형태와 다른 셀프서비스기술 형태를 점차 보급시키고 있다. 이러한 새로운 서비스 형식은 "디지털 그림자노동"이라는 소비자의 노동 참여 방식을 출현시켰다. 즉, 소비자가 셀프서비스기술을 사용하여 직접 자신에게 서비스를 제공하기 때문에 기업의 노동력 자원을 절약하지만, 셀프서비스 환경에서 소비자로 하여금 디지털 그림자 노동을 하도록 함에 따라서 자신이 수행하는 무급 노동에 대한 인식의 문제 또한 발생하고 있다. 이는 소비자 권익 관련 이슈는 물론이고 기업의 장기적인 지속 가능성과 건강한 발전에 대한 심각한 우려를 불러일으키고 있다. 본 연구는 셀프서비스 환경에서 소비자가 디지털 그림자노동에 참여하는 결정에 영향을 미치는 심리적 인식 요인을 밝히고자 한다. 이는 소비자가 셀프서비스기술에서 지속적으로 증가하는 참여도와 자신의 무급 노동에 대한 인식 부족 문제에 대응하기 위함이다. 이론 기반의 방법과 반 구조화된 인터뷰를 통해 소비자가 디지털 그림자노동에 참여하는 결정에 영향을 미치는 심리적 인식 요인을 탐구했다. 이러한 결정 요인의 심리적 인식에 대한 이해를 통하여 본 연구는 소비자가 디지털 그림자노동에 대한 이해와 인식을 제고하고, 셀프서비스기술 환경에서 자신의 권익을 보호하는 의식의 수준을 높일 수 있도록 도울 수 있다. 또한, 본 연구의 결과는 비대면 셀프서비스기술 관련 회사에게 소비자의 결정 심리 이해의 중요성을 알림과 동시에 지속가능한 비즈니스 모델의 고안과 발전을 위한 이론적 기초를 제공할 것이다.

The development of digital technology has given rise to a new service model: self-service. This model introduces the concept of "digital shadow work", in which consumers conduct unpaid behind-the-scenes digital tasks instead of employees. While consumers are engaging in increasingly more digital shadow work in self-service environments, they are unaware of their unpaid labor. This raises concerns about consumer rights and businesses' long-term sustainability and health. This study aims to reveal the psychological awareness factors that influence consumers' decisions to engage in digital shadow work in self-service environments. This exploratory qualitative study utilizes a grounded theory approach and semi-structured interviews to reveal the psychological awareness factors that contribute to consumers' decision to engage in digital shadow work. By revealing the psychological awareness of decision-making factors, this study enhances consumer's understanding and awareness of digital shadow work, which helps increase their awareness of self-protection in the context of self-service technologies. Additionally, understanding consumers' decision-making psychology is crucial for non-face-to-face self-service technology companies and provides a theoretical basis for sustainable and healthy business development.
