일상생활 속에 익숙하게 자리 잡은지 오래인 모바일 폰은 이미 고유의 기능인 음성통화와 문자메시지에 대한 서비스가 포화상태 이르러 새로운 수익 창출산업으로 무선인터넷서비스가 각광받고 있는 실정이나, 초기 사용자들에게 부정적인 기대 불일치 경험을 누적시켜 소극적인 사용이나, 사용회피를 유도하는 등 아직까진 기대 이하의 성적을 거두고 있는 실정이다. 예상을 뛰어넘는 과도한 요금에 놀라 이후 무선인터넷 사용을 꺼리게 된 경험이나, 청소년들의 무분별한 무선인터넷 사용에 따른 사고 등 폐해들에 대한 기사 등은 이미 낯설거나 놀라운 뉴스가 아니며, 이러한 직 간접경험들로 인해 아예 무선인터넷을 경험해보고자 시도조차 하지 않는 잠재고객 또한 많은 것이 사실이다. 본 논문에선 설문과 실험을 통해 현재 모바일 사용자들의 무선인터넷 서비스에 대한 기대, 사용 패턴, 만족도 및 바램과 요금체계에 대한 이해도 등을 조사하고, ‘불확실성 회피성향’이 사용회피에 미치는 역효과를 증명하여, 요금체계와 관련한 서비스업계의 개선 방향 제시에 연구목적을 가진다.

최근 제품이나 서비스를 기획할 때, 사용자 경험 (User Experience)의 측면에 대한 고려를 해야 한다는 이야기가 많아지고 있다. 이는 기능이나 성능을 결정할 때 기능 추가, 몇 %의 성능 상승같이 좁은 방법으로 제품이나 서비스의 기획의 방향을 결정하는 것이 아니라, 사용자가 그 기능이나 성능에서 대해서 어떻게 느끼고, 기능이나 성능을 통해서 어떤 경험을 했는지에 대한 전반적인 고려가 필요하다는 것을 여러 분야에서 공감하고 있다는 증거라 하겠다. 그러나 사용자 경험이라는 개념이 명확하게 정의되어 있지 않고, 그에 대한 실증적인 연구가 부족하여, 더 나은 사용자 경험을 제공하기 위해서 어떤 노력이 필요한지에 대해서 명확하고 쉽게 파악하기 어려운 실정이다. 기존의 HCI 분야에서는 제품이나 서비스를 평가할 때 사용성 (Usability)에 초점을 맞추어서 사용성 평가 (Usability Testing)를 통해서 정량적으로 문제점을 조사하는 방법론에 대한 연구가 많이 이루어졌다. 그러나 이러한 사용성 평가 는 사용자들의 과업 수행 시간, 과업 수행 여부 등 사용자들이 제품이나 서비스를 통해서 진행하는 결과에 대한 성능 (Performance)에 주목하고 있어서 전반적인 사용자 경험을 중요시하는 현재 HCI 가 가야 할 방향과 현업의 필요와는 부합하지 않는다고 할 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 심층 인터뷰를 통해서 사용자에게 제품 경험에 있어서 중요한 요소를 찾아내고, 각 요소를 이용하여 제품에 대한 사용자의 전반적인 경험을 설문으로 물어본 후 구조방정식 모형분석을 통하여 각 경험 요소의 가중치를 도출하였다. 또한 이러한 가중치를 바탕으로 핸드폰, MP3 플레이어, LCD TV, 냉장고의 실제 제품 평가에 적용하여 사용자 경험을 바탕으로 한 제품 평가를 진행하였다. 또한 이러한 방법론을 한국뿐만 아니라 러시아, 독일, 인도의 사용자들에게도 같은 방식으로 진행하여 실증적으로 본 연구에서 개발된 방법론이 가능한지 여부를 확인하였다.

Managing waiting experience is critical for providing service because waiting is an inevitable experience. We explored the factors which influence the waiting experience of the customers and the experience they face, in order to find out the meaning of waiting experience of the customer. As a result, we investigated a holistic sequence divided into four stages. When the customers wait for the service, perceived time would be increased by Zeigarnik effect. How long the customers feel when waiting is largely affected by a gap between waiting time and the perceived time, rather than the perceived time itself. Furthermore, the customers showed a tendency to have hard time immersing in the media due to considering others. Additionally, we could find that waiting time after giving an order is relatively more important than the waiting time before the order. Based on the results, the service provider should convey a feeling of completion by fitting the end point of the media to the point when the customer receives the service. In addition, high predictability needs to be offered for the customers in order to predict the exact waiting time. Finally, the customers should feel as if they take the initiative during waiting time.

The purpose of this study is to examine diverse factors influencing the adoption of IPTV services and relationships among them. To achieve the purpose, this study modified and applied the established theory of the Extended Technology Acceptance Model(ETAM) incorporating socio-cultural factor, flow experience and perceived behavioral control as related constructs. The suggested model was empirically tested through the structural equation modeling approach. The results are as follows: First, the socio-cultural factor and the perceived behavioral control have significant direct influences on the adoption of IPTV services. Second, the flow experience does not have a significant indirect influence mediated by the attitude toward IPTV services. Third, the socio-cultural factor has the significant relationships with the perceived usefulness and the perceived ease of use. Finally, the flow experience was influenced by the perceived usefulness and the perceived ease of use.

Customers often experience waiting for buying service. Managing customers' waiting time is important for service providers since customers who are dissatisfied with waiting, secede from a service place at last. Not a few studies have been done to solve waiting time problem and improve customers' waiting experience. Hui & Tse(1996) identify evaluation factors in customers' behavioral mechanism as customers wait. That is, customers experience perceived waiting time, waiting acceptability and emotional response to the wait when they wait. Since customers evaluate the wait using these factors, service provider should manage these factors in order to minimize customers' dissatisfaction. Therefore, this study explores that evaluation factors of waiting are influenced by customers' situational and experiential characteristics, which include customer loyalty, transaction importance for customer and waiting expectation level. Those situational and experiential characteristics are usually given to service providers so they can't control these at waiting point. The major findings derived from two exploratory studies can be summarized as follows. First, according to the result from the study 1 (restaurant setting), customers' transaction importance has the greatest positive influence on waiting experience. The results show restaurant service provider could prevent customers' separation effectively through strategies which raise customers' transaction importance, like giving special coupons for important events. Second, in study 2 (amusement part setting) customer loyalty has large positive impact on waiting experience as well as transaction importance. This results show that service provider could minimize customers' dissatisfaction using strategies which raise customer loyalty continuously. This results show customer perceives waiting experience differently according to characteristics of service place and service itself. Therefore, service provider should grasp the unique customers' situational and experiential characters for each service and service place. It could provide an effective strategy for waiting time management. Third, the study finds transaction importance and waiting expectation level have direct influence customers' waiting experience as independent variables, while existing studies treated them as moderators. Customer loyalty which has not been incorporated in previous waiting time research is known to affect waiting experience. It suggests that marketing strategy which builds up customer loyalty for long period of time is also quite effective, compared to short term tactics to help customers endure waiting time. Fourth, this study reveals the importance of actual waiting time along with perceived waiting time. So far most studies only focus on customers' perceived waiting time. Especially, this study incorporates the concept of patient limit on waiting time to investigate effect of actual waiting time. The results show that there were various responses to the wait depending on how actual waiting time exceeds individual's patent limit on waiting time or not, even though customers wait about the same period of time. Finally, using structural equation model, conceptual path between behavioral responses is verified. As customer perceives waiting time, then she decides whether she can endure it or not, and then her emotional response occurs. This result are somewhat different from Hui & Tse(1996)'s study. The study also includes theoretical contributions as well as practical implications.
