There is an increasing need to use mobile Internet as a research tool as wireless technology has been developing rapidly. However, little research has been conducted to confirm methodological validity of mobile Internet survey. This study examines the possibility of using mobile Internet as a survey tool by comparing survey results of mobile and stationary Internet surveys with the same questionnaire. The results were analyzed from both economic and theoretical perspectives. Both mobile and stationary Internet survey sites were implemented with supports from domestic mobile and stationary Internet portals and telecommunication companies. The results show that there exist several differences between two survey methods. First, many respondents who use mobile Internet gave up at the early stage. However, once people continued to respond, they answered the questions to the end. Second, means and standard deviations of mobile internet respondents were higher than that of stationary Internet. Third, the results of two survey methods were significantly different by comparing construct validity that includes both discriminant validity and convergent validity. Finally, this paper ends with implications and limitations of using mobile Internet as a survey tool.

본 연구는 Csikszentmihalyi(1977)에 의해서 소개되고 Hoffman과 Novak(1996)에 의해서 확장된 플로우 개념을 수용하여 모바일 인터넷 서비스의 사용에 있어 Novak, Hoffman과 Yung(1997)이 이론화한 플로우(flow)개념을 도입하여 모바일 인터넷 환경요인들이 플로우 및 플로우 선행요인에 영향을 미치는지를 확인해 보고 기존 인터넷 환경에서와 같이 모바일 인터넷 환경에서도 플로우 이론이 성립되는가를 구조 방정식분석을 통해 검정해 보았다. 본 연구는 서비스 수용모델과 플로우 개념에 관한 문헌연구, 설문조사, 모바일 인터넷 플로우 모델의 제시, 그리고 가설검정으로 구성되며 그 결과는 다음과 같다. 첫째, 플로우 선행요인인 도전감에 영향을 미치는 요인은 인터넷 환경요인 중 매체 특성, 컨텐츠 특성, 모바일 인터넷 매체의 사용 편의와 정보전송 품질, 컨텐츠의 유일성, 적시성, 간결성으로 나타났다. 둘째, 플로우 선행요인인 숙련도에 영향을 미치는 요인은 컨텐츠특성, 요금특성, 사용특성이며 컨텐츠의 유일성, 적시성, 간결성, 그리고 요금청구의 명확성, 요금제선택의 다양성, 즉시 연결성이 숙련도에 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 플로우 선행변인인 도전감은 플로우에 정(+)의 유의한 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 이러한 결과는 소비자들의 모바일 인터넷 사용에 있어 도전적 태도가 플로우 경험에 영향을 미치며 도전감을 증가 시키는 모바일 인터넷 특성을 통해 통찰력 있는 시각을 제시해준다.
