Abstract

The purpose of this study is to develop an adoptive model of institutional repositories (IRs) by identifying the key factors affecting adoptive intention of IRs and explaining the relations among these factors. Through a survey of 270 researchers and 12 in-depth interviews in the field of physics, mathematics, and life science in Korea, performance expectancy, perceived risks, socio-organizational influence, and individual characteristics were found to have substantial influences on the adoptive intention of IRs. Among the key factors, individual characteristics showed the greatest effect on the adoptive intention of IRs, followed by performance expectancy and other socio-organizational influences except for the perceived risks. Strategies to enhance the adoptive intention of IRs based on analyses of the results were suggested, in terms of the reformation of research assessment system at the national level, strengthening of role of the operational institution, and the need for voluntary scientists-participating service.

본 연구는 대학도서관 사서의 계속교육 효과성을 교육에서 습득한 지식과 기술을 적용하려는 의도인 학습전이에 두고, 이에 영향을 미치는 요인을 도출하여 이들의 관계를 규명하는 것을 목적으로 한다. 이를 위해 계속교육 참여 경험이 있는 대학도서관 사서를 대상으로 설문조사를 통한 통계적 분석을 실시하였다. 분석 결과, 사서 계속교육이 도서관 실무에 효과적으로 적용되기 위해 계속교육의 프로그램 특성뿐만 아니라 학습자 특성, 조직 환경적 특성이 중요한 요인으로 나타났다. 이는 계속교육의 사전 및 사후 활동을 개별 대학도서관이 조직차원에서 관리하여야 함을 시사한다. 따라서 학습전이 영향요인을 기반으로 한 대학도서관 조직 차원의 사서 계속교육 운영 방안을 제안하였다.

Abstract

This study aims to identify factors to the effectiveness of librarians’ continuing education, which is regarded as learning transfer, and to examine the relationship between the effectiveness and the factors identified. Learning transfer is defined as an intention to apply the lessons learned in the education to the learner’s practice. For this purpose, a questionnaire survey was conducted to investigate continuing education experiences of university librarians. Findings indicate that characteristics of individual librarians, educational program, and organizational environment have to be taken into consideration to manage librarians’ continuing education effectively. Therefore, it is suggested that the university library as an organization should control pre- and post-activities of continuing librarians’ education at the library in order to maximize the learning transfer as the effectiveness of the education. Suggestions are developed with factors to the learning transfer to improve the effectiveness.
