Abstract
This study proposes smart-phone game applications success model based on mobile internet success model and investigates the effects of cultural propensities especially, uncertainty avoidance and power distance at the individual level. To achieve our research purposes, the study conducted survey in Korea and a total of 221 people participated in the survey. We classified user types by cultural difference as a moderating variable. User's cultural propensity classified two groups: high uncertainty avoidance and high power distance, low uncertainty avoidance and low power distance. This study results reveal that the impact of quality factors on user satisfaction have difference according to cultural propensities.
