본 연구는 청소년기 게임 과몰입의 원인을 개인적 속성과 환경, 게임 이용동기로 파악하고, 구체적으로는 고독감, 자기통제 결여, 부모와의 개방적 의사소통, 또래 집단의 정서적 지지와 게임 이용동기(몰두, 사회관계, 성취감)의 영향력으로 살펴보았다. 분석을 위해 중학교 1학년을 대상으로 2014년부터 2017년까지 3년 동안 패널조사 한 결과를 2차 데이터로 활용하였다. 그 결과, 초기 청소년기 고독감과 자기통제 결여는 게임 과몰입에 직접적인 영향을 미쳤으며, 이들의 영향 관계에서 게임의 성취감 동기가 매개효과를 보였다. 하지만, 부모와의 개방적 의사소통과 또래 집단의 정서적 지지는 게임 과몰입과 관련이 없었다. 시간이 지나도 과몰입의 원인과 결과의 영향 관계 구조는 대부분 일관된 결과를 보였다.

Online game business has emerged as the most lucrative entertainment industry, with over 10 million players in South Korea and over 30 million in Japan in 2005. The popularity of online games can be attributed to the availability of broadband network, pushing online games into the mainstream entertainment culture. The age distribution of online game players is expanding and a variety of new games are under development to target certain age groups. While the interactive entertainment market continues to expand, with many new online game publishers entering the Japan, relatively little is known about which factors influence online game players' behavioral intentions to play continuously in this area. This study investigates major factors which influence the acceptance of online game services based on the theoretical backgrounds of the technology acceptance model(TAM) and the flow theory. This paper extended the Davis' TAM model by including the flow concept as another major factor toward the intention to play online game. Based on data collected from online questionnaire survey, we show that the proposed model provides an adequate fit to the data, and that the flow experience is another important factor influencing the intention to play online game, as well as the perceived ease of use.

본 연구는 청소년 게임 과몰입 해소를 위한 e-스포츠 온라인 수련활동 프로그램인 '온라인 롤(League of Legends: LoL) 게임 학교'에 대한 효과성을 조사하였다. 서울시교육청 학생교육원에서 주관한 온라인 롤 게임학교는 e-스포츠게임을 전문적으로 배울 수 있는 다양한 활동과 관련 진로를 탐색해 볼 수 있는 수련활동이 학생들에게 긍정적인 정서를 제공하였고, 내재적 동기 유발에도 긍정적인 영향을 준 것으로 나타났다. 디지털 환경에 익숙하고 이색적인 경험을 추구하는 Z세대 청소년들에게 e-스포츠 교육 콘텐츠가 건강한 게임 문화를 이해하는데 직접적인 도움이 되고, 자신의 진로와 삶에 대한 건설적인 생각을 할 수 있는 계기를 만드는데 기여할 것으로 전망한다.

국내 MMORPG 온라인게임 시장의 동향을 보면 이용자들의 트렌드 변화와 모바일게임 및 해외 게임의 강세로 성장이 정체되어 있는 실정이다. 이렇게 국내 게임이 성장하지 못하는 근본 원인은 변화 없이 기존 게임 형태 그대로 양산되어 출시되는 현 시장의 잘못된 모순과 각종 플레이로 인해 생기는 문제점들이 서비스 실패의 주원인이다. 이에 본 논문에서는 게임 디자인의 변화를 주기 위한 방법으로 시나리오의 중요성 및 필요성을 입증하고 기존 게임이 가지고 있는 문제들을 이용자들의 의견수렴과 성공한 국내 및 해외 게임들을 비교 분석하여 새로운 타입의 TIME FLOW 시나리오를 제안하고자 한다. 이 기법은 게임 내 시간이 흘러 환경과 스토리가 자연적으로 변화되면서 그에 따른 수많은 콘텐츠를 이용자들에게 제공하게 되는 시스템 설계 구축을 목표로 한다. 이를 통해 새로운 형태의 게임 제작 환경 틀을 설계하고 교육적인 인재 양성 효과를 기대한다.

The last few years have represented a boom for the online gaming industry. Internet-based online games have been an increasingly popular form of entertainment. The gaming industry estimates there will be over 26 million online gaming participants in 2002. The rapid development of online game content and related information technology will increase the size of the industry and have a profound impact on many aspects of our lives and our society. This paper develops the exploratory LISREL model for identifying the factors affecting the players' loyalty to a specific brand of online game. The concepts of flow, word of mouth, feedback, challenge, social norms, and online community activities, etc, are all introduced into the model, as the independent variables directly and indirectly affecting loyalty. Based on data collected from an online survey, the validity of the model has been tested and interesting conclusions have been developed concerning the relationships between loyalty and flow, word of mouth, and other independent variables. It is hoped that this result might provide useful guidelines for developing successful online game content.

Online game business has emerged as the most lucrative entertainment industry, with over 10 million players in South Korea. The popularity of online games can be attributed to the availability of broadband network and the presence of numerous PC Bangs and around the country, which have pushed online games into the mainstream entertainment culture. The age distribution of online game players is expanding and a variety of new games are under development to target certain age groups. While the interactive entertainment market continues to expand, with many new online game publishers entering the market, relatively little is known about which factors influence online game players' behavioral intentions to play continuously n this area. It appears that in this extremely attractive and growing services segment, academics, as well as practitioners, would benefit from investigating the relationships among the players' intentions to play, flow, and the impacts of several other key game-related constructs n consumer behavioral intentions. Several types of interaction in on-line games and their relationship with the flow construct are investigated, and the resulting conceptual model is proposed. Based on data collected from online questionnaire survey, the validity of the simultaneous equation model has been tested and interesting conclusions have been developed concerning the relationships between the players' behavioral intentions to play, flow, and interactions. Other interesting results concerning game development strategy are also provided.

On-line game business has emerged as the most lucrative entertainment industry, with over 4 million players in China, with more than 45% of the market dominated by Korean on-line games. While the interactive entertainment market continues to expand, with many new Korean on-line game publishers entering the market, relatively little is known about which factors influence online game players' behavioral intentions (i.e., intention to play, brand-identity, word of mouth, flow, etc.) in this area. It appears that in this extremely attractive and growing services segment, academics, as well as practitioners, would benefit from investigating the relationships among the players' intention to play, social norms, word of mouth, flow, and the impacts of several other key game-related constructs. A conceptual framework is proposed and a simultaneous equation model is developed. This paper develops the exploratory LISREL model for identifying the factors affecting the players' intention to play for on-line games. Based on data collected from on-line questionnaire survey in China, the validity of the model has been tested and interesting conclusions have been developed concerning the relationships between the game-related constructs. It is hoped that this result might provide the useful guidelines for developing the successful on-line game contents. With better understanding of the players' behavioral intentions, Korean on-line game developers should be able to penetrate the China market with sustainable advantage over their competition.

본 논문은 온라인 게이머의 게임태도와 집중하여 즐기는 여러요인을 파악하기 위하여 게이머의 이용형태를 조사하여 고객 충성도(customer loyalty)의 개념을 정립하고, 이의 구성요소로 작용하는 연구가설을 규명하기 위한 분석 모델을 실증연구를 통해 제안하였다. 게이머의 고객충성도는 플로우와 구전에 의해 영향받고 보상, 도전감, 커뮤니터 활동 등으로 구성된다. 온라인 게임 이용자를 대상으로한 설문조사 자료에 근거하여 국내 온라인게임에 대한 소비자 충성도에 영향을 미치는 주요 요인과 소비자 이용형태를 LISREL 모델로 연구, 분석하였다. 통계조사 분석 결과 게임의 재미와 몰입하게 하는 플로우가 매우 중요하며 결국 이 플로우가 고객충성도에 영향을 크게 주고 있음을 알 수 있었다. 이러한 연구조사를 통하여 온라인게임 개 발전략을 제시하였으며, 온라인게임 개발자들이 게임의 개발, 마케팅 계획 수립 시 게이머들의 이러한 연구결과를 잘 활용하여 사용자의 고객충성도를 높여 성공적인 온라인게임 개발 마케팅 전략수립에 보다 유용하게 활용할 수 있도록 하였다.
