모바일 쿠폰서비스의 특성이 소비자의 쿠폰이용의도에 미치는 영향과 자기해석의 조절효과에 관한 연구 = The Effects of Characteristics of Mobile Coupon Service on Consumers’ Intention of Using Mobile Coupons

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

The recent economic recession and price rise reduces excessive consumption as a whole. So companies take more interest in and use discount coupons as a means of sales promotion to reinforce their competitiveness. The combination of Internet and mobile communication technology leads to an explosive increase in the use of mobile Internet service, which promotes commercialization of mobile coupons. Nevertheless, there are absolutely insufficient researches on mobile coupons than those on paper ones. In this context, this study tries to consider intention of accepting and using mobile coupons. The innovated Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) was used to see factors of using mobile coupons considered important by customers. Through the combination of characteristics of mobile coupon service and values obtained from mobile coupons, effects of variables to enhance intention of using mobile coupons were empirically analyzed. In particular, this study suggested importance of psychological as well as economic values of mobile coupons and emphasized good considerations of the psychological aspect, such as shame, stinginess, and reputation sensitivity, in using mobile coupons as an important factor for intention of using the coupons. Another empirical analysis was made of what moderating roles consumers' self-construalplayed in the effects of mobile coupon values perceived by consumers on intention of using coupons.
As a result, immediate connectivity and situational provision among characteristics of mobile coupon service were found to affect ease and usability. It was also shown that perceived ease and usability had significant effects on both economic and psychological values, which then had significant effects on intention of using a mobile system. After testing moderating effects of self-construal, the degree of effects of perceived mobile coupon values on intention of using mobile coupons was greater among inter-dependent self-construal users than among independent ones.
This study considered various schemes of improving intention to use mobile coupons and provided a foundation to help companies make a strategy for mobile coupons to be activated in the future.

국문 초록 (Abstract)

본 연구는 고객들이 중요하게 생각하는 모바일 쿠폰의 사용 요인을 파악하기 위해 혁신기술수용모델(TAM: Davis 1989)을 이용하였다. 기존 종이매체 쿠폰의 할인율에 따르는 쿠폰의 경제적 특성은 모바일 쿠폰도 가지고 있지만 모바일로 다운받아 저장하는 모바일 쿠폰의 보관 편리성은 기존 종이쿠폰이 가지고 있지 않는 경제적 가치 특성이다. 또한 기존 종이쿠폰 이용시 발생하는 부끄러움, 인색함, 체면 민감성과 같은 심리적 불편함을 모바일 쿠폰이 감소시켜 줄 뿐만 아니라 심리적 가치를 높이는 역할을 하게 되므로 본 연구는 모바일 쿠폰의 경제적 가치뿐만 아니라 심리적 가치의 중요성을 제시하였다. 이와 더불어 본 연구는 소비자의 지각된 모바일 쿠폰가치가 쿠폰이용의도에 미치는 과정에서 소비자의 개인적 특성인 자기해석이 조절역할을 할 것이라 제시하였다. 이를 통해 모바일 쿠폰서비스의 특성 및 모바일 쿠폰을 통해서 얻게 되는 가치의 결합을 통해 모바일 쿠폰이용 의도를 높일 수 있는 변수들의 영향을 실증적으로 분석하였다.
분석결과 모바일쿠폰 서비스의 특성 중 즉시 연결성과 상황적 제공성이 용이성과 유용성에 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 그리고 지각된 용이성과 유용성이 경제적 가치와 심리적 가치 모두 유의한 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났으며 이러한 가치들은 모바일 이용의도에 유의한 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 또한 자기해석의 조절효과 검증결과 지각된 모바일 쿠폰가치가 모바일쿠폰 이용의도에 미치는 영향정도는 상호의존적 자기해석 이용자가 독립적 자기해석 이용자보다 더 크게 나타났다.
