Recently, blogging has been regarded as a promising media for information sharing and relationship building. However, it is not quite sure if the technology acceptance model could be completely adopted also in relationship-based system such as blog. Hence, the purpose of this paper is to identify the factors affecting the usage of blogs. To do so, content analysis methodology is applied to extract meaningful factors affecting the usage of blogs in the opinions of the bloggers in a Korean portal site : Naver. We investigates the causal relationship among three factors ; perceived usefulness, perceived encouragement, and actual use in blogging. Moreover, public self-consciousness, self disclosure and telepresence are also considered as the determinants. The results show that public self-consciousness and self disclosure are significant elements affecting perceived usefulness and perceived encouragement, while perceived usefulness and perceived encouragement both affecting the actual use of blogs.

Using data from an online survey in Korea, this study examines factors affecting college students' intention to use wearable device based on an extended Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use Technology (UTAUT) (UTAUT2 Model). The results of the regression analysis suggest that performance expectancy, social influence, and facilitating conditions from original UTAUT are statistically significant variables to explain college students' intention to use wearable device. Also, the results of the data analysis reveal that added factors from UTAUT2 like hedonic motivation and price value are influential factors to explain intention to use wearable device. In addition, this study suggests that future studies need to test the UTAUT2 model in the context of new information and communication technologies.

인터넷 뱅킹은 다른 정보시스템이나 웹기반 시스템에 비해 보안에 대한 우려가 높으면서, 다른 거래자들과의 사용자간 거래가 지원되는 P2P적 요소를 가지고 있다. 따라서 보안우려와 거래파트너는 인터넷 뱅킹 사용에 많은 영향을 주는 중요한 요소로 간주될 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 기존의 기술수용모형에 보안우려와 거래파트너 영향을 외부변수로 도입한 확장된 기술수용모형을 제안하였다. 이를 위해 기존에 사용하고 있던 유용성 대신에 편리성을 도입하였고 보안우려와 사용용이성 및 사용은 부( )의 관계, 거래파트너 영향과 편리성 및 사용은 정(+)의 관계에 의해 기존의 기술수용모형에 확장하였다. 실증적 검증을 위해 설문조사를 하였고 조사결과는 구조방정식에 의해 분석하여 만족할만한 모형적합도를 얻었고, '보안우려-사용용이성' 관계를 제외한 모든 가설이 채택되었다.

Purpose - This study aims to provide a brief understanding of usability and its extended models with TAM as well as identifying additional determinants that had been suggested in previous studies on mobile services. Research design, data, and methodology - Empirical data were collected by conducting a field survey of potential mobile application service users. The call for participation was also made in mobile related application issues, which were widely discussed. Result - The ease of use and usefulness had a significantly positive influence on attitude and intention. It also was revealed that added value services can offer practical value to customers. Thus, positive attitudes toward the adoption of services by customers are present when they perceive higher usefulness and ease of use of mobile application services. Conclusion - It was indicated that customers who are more inclined to try new products or who have a higher demand for new things tend to think about those functionalities and added value mobile application services from the perspective of usefulness and ease of use and operation.

Social networking service (SNS), which is based on the "six degree separation" theory, has gained its popularity in recent years. SNS creates a new way for maintaining relationship and sharing information over the virtual space. As a major branch, campus SNS provides a new platform for student to study as well as build and maintain inter-personal relationships. The highly realness of personal information and relatively strong group cohesion of campus SNS has turned it into an inevitable tool in students' daily life. The rapid growth of SNS in campus is creating huge academic and commercial benefits. However, little comprehensive research reveals what are determinant factors in driving students' intention to participate in campus SNS. In this paper, we conceptualize the participation of campus SNS as a social behavior and evaluate the impact made by social factors such as subjective norms and identity, as well as the impact of perceived reality and playfulness through an extended technology acceptance model.

Despite recent changes in life style, the content called bookstore has steadily stood by our side, changing its shape. In this environment, This manuscript is a quantitatively empirical study that individual innovation affects a combined bookstore's service design factors and the user's intention to word of mouth. Researchers believed that individual innovation would affect a combined bookstore's service design factors. It was also assumed that there would be considerable causality between the combined bookstore's service design factors deduced through prior study. Furthermore, the assumption that these parameters would affect internal variables, perceived ease of use, perceived usefulness and satisfaction, word of mouth intentions was presented, and verified using An Integrated Model of Extended Technology Acceptance Model and Post Acceptance Model. Researchers expect that this research will contribute significantly in that it is a developer's approach to the combined bookstore that are seen as major tenants in large retail facilities.
