온라인 커뮤니티 사이트는 최근 크게 발전하고 있다. 그 이유는 인터넷이 개인생활 속에 깊숙이 침투하면서 사회 연결망, 즉 social networking 현상이 활성화되고 그에 따라 많은 사용자들이 특정 온라인 커뮤니티 사이트에서 다양한 정보활동을 하고 있기 때문이다. 본 연구에서는 이러한 온라인 커뮤니티 사이트에 대한 중개자 신뢰와 시스템 신뢰가 해당 커뮤니티 내에서의 포럼활동에 대한 신뢰 및 정보품질 만족에 미치는 영향에 관한 실증분석을 하고자 한다. 실증분석을 위한 자료수집은 삼성경제연구소의 온라인 커뮤니티 사이트인 SERI ( HYPERLINK "http://www.seri.org" www.seri.org)를 대상으로 하였으며, 해당 SERI 사이트 내에서 SERI 포럼활동을 하고 있는 사용자들을 대상으로 하여 591명의 유의한 설문자료를 수집하였다. 실증분석결과 다음과 같은 결과를 얻을 수 있었다. 첫째, SERI의 중개자 신뢰와 시스템 신뢰는 해당 SERI 포럼의 정보품질과 시스템품질, 그리고 인지효과성에 긍정적인 영향을 준다. 둘째, SERI의 중개자 신뢰는 해당 SERI 포럼의 인지위험을 줄이는데 기여를 한다. 반면, SERI의 시스템 신뢰는 해당 SERI 포럼의 인지위험에는 유의한 영향을 주지 못한다. 이는 아무리 온라인 커뮤니티 사이트의 지명도가 높다고 하더라도 이는 해당 온라인 커뮤니티 내의 포럼 사용자가 느끼는 인지위험에는 유의한 영향을 주지 못하다는 것을 의미한다. 셋째, 그러나 SERI의 중개자 신뢰와 시스템 신뢰가 높을수록 해당 SERI 포럼의 신뢰와 정보품질만족에는 긍정적인 영향을 준다.

Abstract

With the advent of social networking activity on the Internet, online community sites are becoming more popular. The main purpose of this study is to empirically investigate the influence of intermediary trust and system trust on the forum activity trust and information quality satisfaction. We assume that the intermediary trust and system trust come from the online community site itself, while the forum activity is made within a specific forum allowed on the online community site, and therefore forum activity trust and information quality satisfaction are related to a specific forum. The 591 valid questionnaire data were gathered from the users acting in forums allowed on the Samsung Economic Research Institute (SERI) (www.seri.org). The empirical results are as follows. First, the SERI intermediary trust and its system trust have positive influence on the SERI forum information quality system quality, and perceived effectiveness. Second, the SERI intermediary trust contributes to reducing the SERI forum perceived risks, while the SERI system quality does not. Third, the higher the SERI intermediary trust is, the higher the SERI forum trust and information quality satisfaction increase.

조직 커뮤니케이션은 하나의 사회적 체제인 조직에서 구성원의 정보전달 행위를 통해 공동의 목표를 달성하는 과정이며 조직구조의 한 요소이다. 목표달성의 정도와 서비스의 질을 포함하는 효과성, 만족도 등은 조직성과로 표현될 수 있으며 도서관 조직성과로 간주될 수 있는 서비스 품질은 LibQUAL+™ 모형을 통해 측정될 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 조직 커뮤니케이션을 공공도서관 조직성과를 향상시키는 조직요소로 LibQUAL+™ 모형에 따른 서비스 품질을 조직성과로 설정하고 이들의 관계를 통해 커뮤니케이션의 특성이 차원별 서비스 품질에 어떠한 영향을 미치는지 알아보는 것을 그 목표로 한다. 이를 위해 수도권에 위치한 8개 공공도서관의 사서 및 이용자 대상 설문조사를 통한 통계적 분석을 시행한다. 연구결과 도서관의 상향, 수평, 하향 커뮤니케이션은 품질의 3개 차원(서비스의 감성적 차원, 정보통제 차원, 도서관 공간 차원)에 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다.

Abstract

Organizational communication is an element of organizational structure formation; it is also a process of achieving organizational goals through the information sharing among the staff members in the organization as a social system. Organizational performance is a multidimensional concept composed of efficiency and effectiveness and satisfaction. Effectiveness implies service quality and the degree of goal achievement. Service quality by using the LibQUAL+™ model can be considered as an objective performance measure for libraries. This study aims to identify the effect of organizational communication in public libraries on service quality as a performance measure using the LibQUAL+™ model through statistical analyses of the results from questionnaire surveys of librarieans and users in 8 public libraries in Seoul metropolitan area. The result says the characteristics of organizational communication(upward, horizontal, downward communication) affects the three elements in the library service quality, such as affect of service, information control and library as place.

Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to identify the usefulness of Weblog genre analysis in knowledge creation within an organization where communications are occurred frequently among the employees with information and communication technologies (ICTs). Knowledge creation is essential to achieve competitive advantage in today’s knowledge-oriented working environments. There has been huge investment on knowledge management systems to achieve such advantages. It is, however, widely recognized that distributed knowledge management systems often fail due to the different social contexts across the sub-organizations where the local information systems are deployed. It is important to coordinate such social gaps across the sub-organizations to achieve better advantages. Given that Weblogs users often feel a shared social norm, Weblogs play a positive role of narrowing the social gaps. This paper argues that the genre analysis of Weblogs could provide important clues to narrow the social gaps existed across the sub-organizations within an organization. Hence, such taxonomical practice may be a solution for the high rate of failure in knowledge management system implementations in an organization. This paper uses the theory of organizational knowledge creation (Nonaka & Takeuchi, 1995) and social construction of technology (SCOT) approach (Bijker, 1995) to compare the socialized with the non-socialized integration of distributed information systems. The findings of this research provide a useful framework for better implementing knowledge management practices especially in distributed working environments.

Abstract

This exploratory study describes the social bookmarking perceptions and behaviors of students in university courses. Although an emerging discussion regarding the value of social bookmarking tools exists, how users adopt tools in practice is not well known. Students were asked to utilize the bookmarking tool del.icio.us to store information relating to course projects. They were also asked to comment how they employed del.icio.us for course projects. The study analyzed student perceptions and behaviors when using social bookmarking tools for university coursework. The study noted that the use of tags, notes, and networking within these social bookmarking tools remained less active and social bookmarking services in Web 2.0 as shared collaboration, shared communities, and vertical search were less present. Utilizing social bookmarking tools to facilitate personal information management includes the activities of information use, information re-use, and mobility.
