Augmented Reality(AR) has been one of the important technologies of the 4th industrial revolution. Consumer acceptance of new technologies is substantial issue for market expansion, but there have been few empirical studies on factors that affect the acceptance or use intention of AR. In this study, we have explored and analyzed the factors influencing technology acceptance based on the extended unified theory of acceptance and use of technology(UTAUT2) model in the AR business and have discussed it with comparison with existing research based on this analysis. The results of this study suggest that the main variables of the existing UTAUT1 model had significant positive effect on the intention to use, such as performance expectancy, effort expectancy, facilitating conditions and hedonic motivation, habits of UTAUT2. In addition, perceived risk introduced in this study had a negative effect on intention to use. Furthermore, the impact between these two factors have been effort expectancy(${\beta}=.294$)>habits(${\beta}=.268$)>hedonic motivation(${\beta}=.266$)>performance expectancy,(${\beta}=.263$)>facilitating conditions(${\beta}=.233$)>perceived risk(${\beta}=-.094$). The impact of social influence did not have a significant effect on intention to use. The intention to use was analyzed to have a significant positive effect on the actual use and recommendation intention. On the other hand, the hypothesis that the age and gender has played a moderating role between independent variables and the intention of use were investigated. Age was found out to play a role as a moderator between social influence, facilitating conditions, hedonic motivation, habits and intention to use. In the same way, gender has been shown to play a moderating role between facilitating conditions, perceived risk and intention to use. Academic and practical implications are suggested based on the results of this study.

Entering aging society and increasing individual's interests on wellbeing lead to increasing demands of healthcare service and various healthcare related applications are providedon app market or Internet. These healthcare services could enhance user's health status if the users continuously use the service. In order to enhance effectiveness of a healthcare service, the service user should comply with recommendations or directions are provided by the service. However, previous studies of healthcare service are not considered effects of compliance intention on continuous usage. Hence, we tested how user's compliance intention effect on continuous usage intention of healthcare service based on theories of information system and medical information. Moreover, we found that compliance intention of users for healthcare service is an important factor on sustainability of healthcare service. Additionally, we investigated what factors are related with user's compliance intention.

In this paper we investigate the factors influencing the purchase intention of Smart-Phone which was introduced recently. Smart-Phone is a new information technology that converges PDA into a mobile phone. It has a various functions such as phone, information processing, Internet search etc. New information technology like Smart-Phone gives us a very important and interesting research issue, which is to find and prove the factors influencing the purchase intention. We try to find and prove the factors influencing the purchase intention of Smart-Phone by expanding Technology Acceptance Model. We include the perceived playfulness to the research model in order to analyze the factors. This empirical paper proves that the perceived usefulness, the perceived ease-of-use, and the perceived playfulness give positive effects to the purchase intention. In addition, this paper indicates some managerial implications that various and useful applications and the easy user interface can help to increase the degree of user acceptance.

빅데이터 기술은 기업의 경쟁력을 높일 수 있는 혁신 기술 중 하나로 급성장하고 있는 가운데 농업 분야 또한 빅데이터를 활용한 경쟁력 제고와 미래 산업으로의 발전이 중요 당면과제로 부상하고 있다. 해외의 경우 농업 빅데이터를 활용한 스타트업이 빠른 속도로 증가하며 성장하는 반면 국내의 경우 생산 분야 일부 농업 벤처 외에는 빅데이터 활용이 미흡한 실정이다. 또한 기업의 빅데이터 활용수준이나 활용의도에 영향을 미치는 요인에 대한 연구가 대기업이나 특정 산업에 국한되어 이루어지고 있으며, 연구마다 영향요인 변수의 검증결과가 상이하게 나타나 산업/기업특성에 따라 연구가 필요하다. 본 연구의 목적은 농업벤처기업에서 새로운 ICT인 빅데이터를 도입하고 사용하는 데 영향을 미치는 요인을 파악하고, 이를 통해 기대하는 편익에 대해 파악함으로써 활용을 촉진할 수 있는 방안을 제시하는 데 있다. 본 연구는 빅데이터가 조직의 프로세스를 변화시키고, 최고경영층의 지원이 필수적이며, 기업이 처한 환경적 압박에 대응할 수 있는 수단으로 보고 기술·조직·환경(TOE: Technology-Organization-Environment) 프레임워크를 기반으로 혁신확산이론(Diffusion of Innovation Theory) 모형을 결합하여 본 연구에 적합한 변수들을 도출한 후 이들 변수간의 인과관계를 설정하여 연구모형을 구성하였다. 이에 따라 TOE모형의 기술적 요인에 관한 변수로는 혁신확산이론 변수인 상대적이점, 호환성, 복잡성을 채택하였고, 조직적 요인에 관한 변수로 최고경영층 지원, 비용부담능력을, 환경적 요인에 관한 변수로는 법적·정책적 지원, 경쟁자 압력을 채택하였다. 이들 3가지 요인에 속한 7가지 변수들과 빅데이터 사용의도와 기대편익 간의 관련성, 그리고 농업벤처 사업분야의 조절효과에 대한 8개의 가설을 설정하였다. 본 연구는 실제 농업벤처기업 종사자 대상 설문을 통한 실증연구를 통해 벤처 현장에서의 빅데이터 활용수준을 높이기 위한 기술적, 조직적, 환경적 관점의 정책 개선방안을 제시하고, 생산/가공/유통 등 사업분야별 비교를 통해 영향요인의 중요도 차이를 규명해 영역별로 차별적이고 효과적인 정책 방향성을 도출하는 데 시사점을 제시하고자 한다.

The purposes of this study are to examine the predictability of variables related to SNS intention to use in collaborative learning and provide some new implications. Based on Technology Readiness and Acceptance Model (TRAM), we hypothesized that optimism, innovativeness, discomfort, insecurity as personal disposition variables, subjective norm as a social variable, and perceived usefulness and perceived ease of use as cognitive variables would predict SNS intention to use. For this study, 274 'Share Leadership' students in E university completed surveys and it was analyzed by multiple regression analysis. The results of this study showed as follows. First, optimism, innovativeness, discomfort, and subjective norm predicted perceived ease of use. Second, optimism, insecurity, subjective norm and perceived ease of use predicted perceived usefulness. Third, subjective norm, perceived ease of use and perceived usefulness predicted SNS intention to use. From this, it is revealed that positive technology readiness predict much more than negative technology readiness do and the role of teacher and peers is very important.

Users of Smartphone in Korea are using the majority of the economically active population over 99% and experts have seen that they have reached saturation after the initial formation stages. The purpose of this study is to investigate the influencing factors of dominant design attributes on the intention of continuous use of Smartphone users. Predictor factors were selected perceived usefulness and perceived ease of use suggested on extended the technology acceptance model. The concept model was completed by selecting the dominant design attribute as a mediator. Participants of this study were 135 Smartphone users in Busan Gyeongnam and Iksan Jeonbuk province in accordance with convenience sampling. IBM SPSS Statistics 19 were employed for descriptive statistics, Smart PLS (partial least squares) was employed for confirmatory factor analysis and path analysis of casual relationship among variables. Therefore, when moderating mediated factor of dominant design and attitude, factor of continuous usage intention showed 76% explanatory power.

Computer and Internet information technologies(ICTs) have changed the modern service industry and people's life style. In particular, the global spread of COVID-19 has attracted more attention to contact service types such as self-service technology. With the increase in labor costs and the enhancement of consumer self-awareness, more and more companies transfer part of their work to customers through their own service technology. This study seeks to answer the following questions. (1) Do technology difficulty and safety perception affect customer value recognition in the self-service technologies? (2) Does customer value recognition influence the intention to use such technologies continuously? This study conducted an empirical analysis with 327 samples to validate the influence of self-service characteristics(technology difficulty and safety perception) on customer value recognition and continuous utilization intentions. Also, it analyzes the moderating effects of age and frequency of use on the relationship between self-service characteristics and customer value recognition. The study results show that the technology difficulty does not affect the customer's perceived value recognition; and the higher the customer's value recognition, the higher the intention of continuous use.
