Why Do University Students Continue to Use Generative AI? A Comparative Study on the Factors Influencing Satisfaction and Continuous Use Intention in Korea and Japan
This study aims to identify the factors affecting generative AI satisfaction and continuous use intention through an empirical analysis using a comparative study of South Korea and Japan. To verify the research model, data were collected from 151 university students each in South Korea and Japan, and based on this, an analysis was conducted using Structural Equation Modeling (SEM). The analysis results are as follows: First, information quality was found to have a significant positive effect on generative AI satisfaction in both the Korean and Japanese samples. Second, interactivity did not affect generative AI satisfaction in the Korean sample, but it showed a significant positive effect on generative AI satisfaction in the Japanese sample. Third, performance expectancy was found to have a significant positive effect on generative AI satisfaction in both the Korean and Japanese samples. Fourth, generative AI satisfaction was found to have a significant positive effect on continuous use intention in both the Korean and Japanese samples. Fifth, the results of the indirect effect analysis revealed that in the Korean sample, only information quality and performance expectancy had a significant positive effect on continuous use intention through generative AI satisfaction; however, in the Japanese sample, information quality, interactivity, and performance expectancy all had a significant positive effect on continuous use intention through generative AI satisfaction. The results of this study hold important significance in terms of being a comparative study between South Korea and Japan, and they emphasize that the characteristics of information quality, interactivity, and performance expectancy can affect generative AI satisfaction and continuous use intention.
