Abstract

This study proposed a theoretical framework that could explain the service use of a community informatics. The proposed community informatics use model was developed based on three theoretical models: (1) Ajzen's Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB) from social psychology: (2) Uses and gratifications approaches from media use research; and (3) Technology Acceptance Model(TAM) from information technology use research. The proposed model consists of three basic components: expectations of the outcomes from use, approvals from important others, and perceivied controllability over using the service. The initially proposed model was assessed using structural equation modeling, and then re-sepcified in order to propose a better fitting model. The initially proposed and revised community informatics use models were discussed with their theoretical and practical implications.

본 연구의 목적은 사회심리학 이론을 토대로 지역정보 시스템 이용모형을 개발함으로써, 지역주민을 위한 정보통신 서비스의 이용을 효과적으로 설명하는데 있다. 본 연구를 위해 필자는 Ajzen의 계획적 행위 이론(Theory of Planned Behavior: TPB)을 기본모형으로 선택하였는데, 이 이론은 (1) 지역정보 서비스 이용 결과에 대한 기대, (2) 주변 사람들의 권유, (3) 이용을 가능하게 하는 내외적 요인에 대한 자신의 통제 능력의 지각 등을 기본 골격으로 한다. 계획적 행위 이론은 일반적인 사회행동의 설명에 적용되어온 사회심리 이론이므로 필자는 지역정보 시스템 이용의 행동적 특성을 연구 모형에 반영하기 위하여 두 이론 즉, 인터넷 등 매체 이용을 설명하기 위하여 널리 적용되어온 이용과 충족 이론(Uses and gratifications)과 경영정보시스템 이용을 설명하기 위하여 적용되어 온 기술수용모형(Technology Acceptance Model: TAM)을 추가적으로 검토했다. 417명의 지역정보망 시스템 이용자로 부터 수집된 실증자료를 토대로 구조방정식모형(Structural Equation Model: SEM)을 이용하여 제안된 지역정보 시스템 이용모형을 검증한 후 향상된 수정 모형을 제안했다. 그 결과, 지역정보 시스템 이용에 영향을 미치는 주요 요인들로 지역정보를 이용하고자하는 의도, 태도, 주관적 규범, 정보습득에 대한 기대, 사회적 상호작용에 대한 기대, 지역 연계에 대한 기대, 및 개인관련 규범 신념 등을 밝혀 냈다. 이러한 결과를 중심으로 본 연구의 함의와 후속 연구과제가 결론에서 논의되었다.
