Abstract

The purpose of this study is to study the influencing factors that can affect the acceptance intention and acceptance behavior of the 4th Industrial Revolution and smart factory-related technologies by using the expanded UTAUT. Through this, by grasping which influencing factors affect the introduction and acceptance of related technologies, it is to derive strategies for responding to the fourth industrial revolution by manufacturing companies and accepting smart factory related technologies. A survey was conducted on various manufacturing companies, and 167 copies were used for research. As a result of the testing of research hypotheses, performance expectation, social impact, promotion conditions, network effect, and innovation have a positive (+) significant effect on acceptance intention. However, expectation of effort had a positive (+) effect on acceptance intention, but was not significant. Acceptance intention was tested to have a positive (+) significant effect on acceptance behavior. Therefore, factors that should be improved by individual manufacturing companies in the process of responding to the 4th industrial revolution and the introduction and acceptance of smart factory-related technologies are clearly presented.

본 연구의 목적은 확장된 UTAUT를 활용하여 4차 산업혁명 및 스마트 팩토리 관련 기술의 수용의도와 수용행동에 영향을 미칠 수 있는 영향요인을 연구하는 것이다. 이를 통해 어떠한 영향요인들이 관련 기술의 도입과 수용에 영향을 미치는가를 파악함으로써 제조 기업들의 4차 산업혁명에 대한 대응 및 스마트 팩토리 관련 기술 수용을 위한 전략을 도출하는 것이다. 다양한 제조 기업체들에 대하여 설문조사를 시행하였으며, 167부를 연구에 활용하였다. 연구가설의 검정결과 성과기대, 사회적 영향, 촉진조건, 네트워크 효과, 혁신성은 수용의도에 긍정적이고 유의한 영향을 미친다. 그러나 노력기대는 수용의도에 긍정적인 영향을 미치지만 유의하지 않았다. 수용의도는 수용행동에 긍정적이고 유의한 영향을 미친다. 따라서 4차 산업혁명 대응과 스마트 팩토리 관련 기술의 도입 및 수용과정에서 제조 기업들이 제고하여야 하는 요인들을 명확하게 제시하였다.
