Abstract

IT service is becoming a critical business operation in the age of information revolution. In providing IT services internally to other functions of the corporation and externally to other organizations, sharing of knowledge between business people and system people is known to become more and more critical for successful IT services. Purpose of this research is to examine the impact of IT service quality on knowledge sharing activities between IT service providers and users. Theoretical research model, through an extant literature review, is proposed here, consisting of IT service quality, relationship quality(satisfaction, trust and commitment), and the level of knowledge sharing activities. Survey results of 183 users indicates that IT service quality significantly influences commitment through satisfaction and trust, which in turn influences the level of knowledge sharing activities. Also, interestingly, satisfaction and trust do not directly influences the level of knowledge sharing,but indirectly, through commitment.

본 연구의 목적은 IT서비스 환경에서 서비스 제공자와 사용자 사이에 이루어지는 지식공유 활동에서 IT서비스 품질이 미치는 영향을 설명하는 데 있다. 이를 위해 독립변수로서 IT서비스 품질, 매개변수로서 만족, 신뢰, 몰입으로 구성된 관계품질, 그리고 종속 변수로서 지식공유를 제시한 연구모델을 구성하여 검증하였다. 실증적인 검증을 위해 IT프로젝트 팀의 시스템 사용률이 높은 사용자를 대상으로 설문조사를 실시하였으며, 520개의 설문 중 회수된 183개의 자료를 바탕으로 공분산 구조분석을 이용한 구조 모형 분석 방법인 AMOS를 통해 검증하였다. 또한 구성개념 신뢰도, AVE(Average Variance Extracted)분석, 확인적 요인분석을 통하여 측정도구의 내적 일관성 및 수렴 타당성, 판별 타당성을 검증하였다. 그 결과 IT서비스 품질은 만족과 신뢰에 영향을 주며, 만족과 신뢰는 몰입에 영향을 주는 것으로 나타났다. 또한 사용자가 몰입을 할수록 지식공유에 더 영향을 주는 것으로 분석되었다. 관계품질이 IT서비스품질과 지식공유 활동에서 중요한 매개역할을 함을 알 수 있었고 아울러서 관계품질 내에서 만족과 신뢰가 몰입을 선행함을 알 수 있었다.
