This study aims to develop online convention service quality and examine the effect of online convention service quality on re-participation intention in the same convention and other types of online conventions. Based on an extensive literature review, the study chose five main factors of online convention service quality: human service, program service, platform service, platform aesthetics, and interaction. A total of 284 data were collected from online convention participants from July 26 to August 6, 2021. For the hypotheses test, multiple regression analysis was used. As a result, interaction and program service quality had positive effects on re-participation intention in the same convention, but except for platform aesthetic, all factors positively affected re-participation intention in other types of online conventions. This study also found that online service quality factors are more helpful in predicting the intention of re-participation in other types of online conventions rather than re-participation in the same convention. Based on the results, theoretical and practical implications were discussed

As diverse online information services are introduced and the use of them are increasing, the importance of the quality control over the online information services is also increasing. Therefore, studies are being attempted to derive quality evaluation models for online information services, but these showed many limitations. In order to overcome the limitations of the previous studies and create more appropriate quality evaluation model, this study analyzed 408 data collected through the interviews with the users of Korea national online information services (NDSL, NTIS) using content analysis and the coding method of ground theory. Through the analysis, we identified the quality evaluation model (13 elements, 6 dimensions) of online information services and the description and insights of each elements. And the priorities of the most significant element(amount of information) and other key elements(such as the usefulness of the information, the diversity of the field, etc.) were figured out through the frequency analysis. Through these inductive methods based on the responses of users, the quality control model could be derived, which is different from the previous researches. This study is the first study which derived the quality evaluation model of online information service through the inductive way based on 408 interview responses from users. Therefore, the results of this study will be helpful to the post researchers who conduct studies on the quality of online information service, etc. Moreover, the results of this study are expected to provide references of frame for decision-making of working-level officials who have to manage the quality of online information services.

With the advancement of technology, the market size of online bookstores is constantly increasing in Korea. Despite the importance of the quality of services provided by online bookstores as many customers use online bookstores, many existing studies have approached only from a linear perspective that satisfying service quality factors will lead to customer satisfaction. In addition, the service quality of online bookstores has only been addressed in general and universal service situations, such as SERVQUAL and e-SERVQUAL and WebQual, or online situations. This study was conducted to consider the specificity of online bookstores and to establish specific strategies for improving service quality. In this study, we present six higher dimensions of service quality for online bookstores and 25 lower dimensions to measure it, and we confirm strategic direction for service quality elements through IPA analysis. As a result of the analysis, a total of 12 factors were included in the first quadrant, which required maintenance of service quality due to the high importance and satisfaction perceived by customers. Next, the importance of customers is high, but their satisfaction is low, so the second quadrant that should be improved first had a total of two factors. Third, the third quadrant was an area where customers perceived low importance and satisfaction, and a total of nine factors were involved. Finally, the fourth quadrant was an area where the customer was satisfied but perceived low importance, with a total of two factors. The results of this study can be used as basic data for strategic use of online service quality factors.
