Abstract

With the rapid increase in information and the development of information technologies, the importance of information management is increasing for individuals. The study aimed to examine how the motivations or disturbance factors of personal information management affect college students. First, the motivation and disturbance factors of personal information management were derived through the analysis of previous studies, and the effects of these factors on information organization and information management activities were analyzed. For this purpose, an online questionnaire was conducted for college students at a university in Seoul and a total of 593 valid responses were analyzed. The study found that the motivations or disturbance factors of personal information management influenced personal information management behavior. The study extends the literature of personal information management by analyzing the information management behavior of individuals and identifying the factors influencing such behavior. Furthermore, the finding of the study suggests the practical implications that it is essential to provide personal information management education so that college students can manage personal information efficiently.

정보의 급격한 증가와 정보기술이 발달함에 따라 개인에게도 정보관리의 중요성이 점차 커지고 있다. 본 연구는 대학생들의 개인정보관리 동기 요인과 방해 요인이 개인정보관리 행태에 어떠한 영향을 미치는지 알아보고자 하였다. 먼저, 선행연구 분석을 통해 개인정보관리 동기 요인과 방해 요인을 도출하였으며, 이러한 요인들이 개인정보관리 행태인 정보조직 활동과 정보유지 활동에 어떠한 영향을 미치는지 분석하였다. 이를 위해, 서울 소재 대학교의 대학생들을 대상으로 온라인 설문조사를 진행하였으며, 총 593부의 유효한 응답지를 분석하였다. 분석 결과, 개인정보관리 동기 요인과 방해 요인이 개인정보관리 행태에 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구는 개인의 정보관리 행태를 분석하고 행태에 영향을 미치는 요인을 도출하였다는 점에서 학문적 의의가 있다. 또한, 연구 결과를 바탕으로 대학생들이 개인정보를 효율적으로 관리할 수 있도록 개인정보관리 교육을 제공해야 한다는 실질적 함의를 제시하였다.
