Abstract

This study seeks to investigate the factors influencing the utilization of online contents subscription services. In this study, the current number of online contents services subscribed to is set as the dependent variable. The independent variables include conspicuous product purchasing tendencies, personality types, experience with online contents consumption, and digital literacy. The research results indicate that digital literacy, agreeableness, and sociability among personality traits, as well as experience with online contents consumption, significantly impact the use of online contents subscription services. However, conspicuous product purchasing tendencies and personality traits such as openness and extroversion did not have a significant effect on the utilization of online contents subscription services.

본 연구는 온라인 콘텐츠 구독 서비스 이용에 영향을 미치는 요인을 알아보기 위한 실증 연구이다. 온라인 콘텐츠 구독 서비스가 일상생활과 밀접한 다양한 분야로 확대되고 있는 상황에서 이용자의 어떠한 특성이 온라인 구독 서비스 이용에 영향을 미치는지 알아보고자 한다. 본 연구에서는 종속변수를 현재 구독하고 있는 온라인 콘텐츠 구독 서비스 개수로 설정하였고, 독립변수를 과시적 제품 구매 성향, 성격 유형, 온라인 콘텐츠 이용 경험 여부, 디지털 리터러시로 설정하였다. 또한, 통제변수로는 인구사회학적 특성(성별, 연령, 최종학력, 개인 월평균 소득, 가구원 수)과 디지털 기기(휴대폰, 태블릿, 데스크탑, 노트북, TV) 보유여부를 설정하였다. 본 연구에서는 정보통신정책연구원(KISDI)의 2022년 한국미디어패널조사 데이터를 활용하여 토빗(Tobit) 회귀분석을 실시하였다. 연구결과, 디지털 리터러시, 성격유형 중 조화성과 친화성, 온라인 콘텐츠 이용 경험은 온라인 콘텐츠 구독 서비스 이용에 유의미한 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 그러나 이용자의 과시적 제품 구매 성향과 성격유형 중 개방성과 외향성은 온라인 콘텐츠 구독 서비스 이용에 유의미한 영향을 미치지 않았다. 구체적으로 온라인 뉴스/잡지/E-book, 음악, 교육동영상 콘텐츠의 이용 경험과 디지털 리터러시는 온라인 구독 서비스 이용에 긍정적인 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났으며, 온라인 게임 콘텐츠 이용 경험과 성격유형 중 친화성과 조화성은 부정적인 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다.
