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 연구의 목적은 확장된 계획행동이론을 적용하여 만화도서관을 방문하는 이용자들의 행동의도를 파악하는데 있다. 이를 위해 주관적 규범, 태도, 행동통제의 계획행동이론 기본변수에 만화에 대한 호감도, 서비스품질 등의 확장변수를 추가하여 변수의 영향을 증명하였다. 그 결과는 다음과 같다. 만화도서관을 재이용하고자 하는 이용자의 행동의도에 태도가 가장 큰 영향을 미치고 있으며, 나머지 요인들은 주관적 규범, 서비스품질, 지각된 행동통제의 순서대로 나타났다. 의외로 만화호감도의 경우 행동의도에 직접적 영향이 없었지만 태도, 주관적 규범, 지각된 행동통제를 매개하여 간접적으로 영향을 미치고 있었다. 또한 만화호감도와 서비스품질의 경우 기존변수인 태도, 주관적 규범, 지각된 행동통제에 대해 설명력을 보이고 있어 확장변수로써 행동의도에 대한 효과가 있음을 확인하였다.

Abstract

The purpose of this study was to examine comics library user’s behavioral intention using the extended theory of planned behavior. In order to verify the effects of variables, such extended variables as comics likeability and service factor were added to such basic variables of the theory of planned behavior as subjective norm, attitude and behavioral control. Study findings are as follows: user’s attitude had the biggest effects on their behavioral intention of reuse of Comics Library, and it was followed by subjective norm, service quality and perceived behavioral control, in order. Comics likeability exceptionally had no direct effects on behavioral intention, but it had indirect effects via the mediation of attitude, subjective norm and perceived behavioral control. And second, comics likeability and service quality had power of explanation for such basic variables as attitude, subjective norm and perceived behavioral control, respectively, thus verifying their effects on behavioral intention as extended variables.

본 연구는 모바일 건강 어플리케이션의 사용을 방해하는 요인을 혁신확산이론에 따라 분석하고자 하였다. 본 연구는 유의적 표집방법에 따라 비수용자(non-adopters)와 사용 중단자(rejecters)로 구성된 대학생을 모집하였다. 연구 참여자는 총 44명으로 남학생 32명과 여학생 12명으로 구성되었으며 서면인터뷰를 실시하였다. 연구 결과, 상대적 유익성, 복잡성, 시험가능성 및 관찰가능성 등과 같은 속성은 건강 어플리케이션의 채택이나 지속적 이용을 방해하는 심각한 요인으로 작용하지 않았으나, 상대적 불이익과 적합성은 커다란 방해요인으로 작용하는 것으로 파악되었다. 본 연구의 결과는 건강 어플리케이션이라는 혁신을 확산시키고 지속적 이용을 장려하기 위해서는, 상대적 유익성이나 복잡성을 개선하기 보다는, 상대적 불이익에 대한 인식을 재고하고 생활 적합성은 강화해야 한다는 점을 시사한다.

Abstract

The purpose of the study is to identify the barriers to using mobile health applications based on the Diffusion of Innovations Theory. The study employed a purposive sampling to recruit college students who were non-adopters or rejecters. The study participants were a total of 44 students, who consist of 32 males and 12 females, and paper-based interviews were conducted. The findings of the study indicated that attributes such as relative advantages, complexity, trialability and observability were not considerable factors of impeding the adoption or continuous use of health applications, whereas relative disadvantages and compatibility were. The study suggests that health application developers and service providers minimize relative disadvantages and enhance compatibility of the innovation with consumers’ life styles, rather than try to improve relative advantages and complexity, to more effectively encourage non-adopters to try and maintain using the innovation.
