Abstract

As smart devices like smartphones and smart pads are prevalent recently, dramatic changes so called 'smart evolution' deployed in many socioeconomic areas. These changes lead the TV industry to develop a smart TV differentiated from a conventional TV by enabling internet connectivity and applications execution. In this study the factors affecting the acceptance of a smart TV are extracted by reviewing the previous works and the structural relationships among these factors are analyzed. Adding 'Social Influence' to consider an environmental factor and 'Innovativeness' for personal characteristics, we build an extended Technology Acceptance Model and analyzed the structural relationships among the factors in the model using Structural Equation Model. In the results we can find that the environmental factors affect the perceived characteristics. The moderating effects of gender and level of experience in smart devices have also been investigated. No difference is found between gender groups. In much-experienced group, Innovativeness affects Perceived Usefulness and acceptance of a smart TV. In less-experienced group, however, Innovativeness affects Perceived Ease of Use, Expected Enjoyment and finally acceptance of a smart TV.

최근 스마트폰과 스마트패드 등 다양한 스마트기기가 보급됨에 따라 경제, 사회 등 각 분야에서 '스마트 혁명'이라는 혁신적인 변화가 발생하고 있다. 이러한 변화는 TV 분야에서도 일어나고 있는데 최근 출시되고 있는 스마트TV는 인터넷 접속, 애플리케이션 실행 등을 지원함으로써 이전의 TV와 차별화된 서비스를 제공하고 있다. 본 연구에서는 스마트TV의 수용에 영향을 주는 요인을 도출하고 그 요인들 간의 구조적인 관계를 밝히고자 한다. 새로운 기술이 추가된 스마트TV의 경우 기술수용모형을 확장하여 사회적 영향 같은 외부적인 환경의 요인과 혁신성과 같은 사용자의 특성을 반영한 모형을 수립하고 이들 간의 관계를 구조방정식 모형으로 분석하였다. 분석결과 개인의 혁신성과 사회적인 영향은 지각된 특성에 영향을 주어 스마트TV를 수용하는데 영향을 미치고 있는 것을 알 수 있었다. 또한 수립된 모형이 성별이나 스마트기기 경험 정도에 따라 차이를 보이는지 살펴보기 위해 조절효과를 추가로 분석하였다. 성별에 따른 차이는 없었으며 스마트기기 노출정도가 높은 집단은 혁신성이 지각된 유용성과 수용에 영향을 주는 반면 노출정도가 낮은 집단은 혁신성이 지각된 용이성과 유희성에 영향을 주어 최종적으로 스마트TV 수용에 영향을 주는 것을 알 수 있었다.
