Abstract

Tüketiciler için önemli bir kalite ve
kullanışlılık unsuru olan akıllı telefon bataryaları ve batarya bitmesinin
neden olduğu sorunlar, son zamanlarda araştırmacıların ilgisini çeken
konulardandır. Bu araştırmada, bataryanın şarj ihtiyacı karşısında yaşanan
olumsuz duygu ve şarj bitme kaygısının, akıllı telefon kullanıcılarının mobil
uygulama enerji tüketim beklentilerine etkisi incelenmektedir. Bu kapsamda
Kırıkkale ilinde kolayda örnekleme yöntemiyle 312 akıllı telefon
kullanıcısından birincil veriler toplanmış ve istatistiksel analiz
yöntemleriyle değerlendirilmiştir. Buna göre katılımcıların % 31,4’ünün mobil
uygulamaların enerji tüketimiyle ilgili beklentileri yüksek olup, % 33,9’u şarj
ihtiyacı hissettiğinde olumsuz duygular yaşamakta ve % 48,8’i şarj bitme
kaygısı hissetmektedir. Bunların yanında şarj bitme kaygısı ve şarj ihtiyacı
olduğunda yaşanan olumsuz duyguların, mobil uygulama enerji tüketim
beklentilerini etkileyen faktörler olduğu tespit edilmektedir. Dolayısıyla
mobil uygulama tasarımında, enerji tüketim özelliklerinin göz önünde
bulundurulması gereken önemli bir faktör olduğu sonucuna varılmaktadır.

The Role of Charging-Out Anxiety and Negative Emotions Related to Charging Needs in Mobile Application Energy Consumption Expectations: A Research in Kırıkkale Province

Abstract

Smartphone batteries, which are an important
element of quality and usability for consumers, and the problems caused by
battery discharge have recently took attention of researchers. In this
research, effect of experienced negative emotions in the face of the need to
charge, and anxiety about the discharge of the battery, on the energy
consumption expectations of smartphone users are examined. In this context,
primary data were collected from 312 smartphone users by convenience sampling
method in Kırıkkale province and evaluated with statistical analysis method. As
a result of the research, 31,4 % of the participants have high expectation
about energy consupmtion of mobile applications, 33,9 % have nagative emotions
when they feel the need to charge and % 48,8 feel worry about running out of
charge. In addition to this, it is determined that the anxiety about the
discharge and the negative emotions when there is need for charging are the
factors affecting the energy consumption expectations of mobile applications.
Therefore, it is concluded that energy consumption features are important
factor in mobile application design.
