As the use of blog increases, research for understanding the phenomenon of using blogs has been conducted. Previous research on blog adopted satisfaction, usage intention, usage, etc. as dependent variables for examining blog usage motivation. These dependent variables give consideration only to a positive aspect of user behavior based on an assumption that “the contrary concept of satisfaction is dissatisfaction and people do not use blogs if they are dissatisfied”
This study classified blog satisfaction factors by applying Herzberg's Two Factor Theory, which says that satisfaction and dissatisfaction are not on the both extreme ends of a continuous medium but different-dimensional concepts user perceives, and Kano's Dualistic Theory of Quality, which asserts that product quality should be explained both from subjective aspects and objective aspects, to the traditional One Factor Theory for conducting research on blog.
Satisfaction factors that affect blog usage were extracted based on previous research, and they were classified into One factors and Two factors. Then, the Two factors were classified into motivation factors and hygiene factors. According to the degree of involvement, the One factors were classified into high involvement factors and low involvement factors. By classifying these four factors, this study verified that gratification and satisfaction are One factors which increase lineally and there exist motivation factors that affect satisfaction and hygiene factors that affect dissatisfaction.
