Abstract

Covid-19 calls for minimizing gatherings of people in spaces such as offices. Organizations are encouraging information-sharing activities among employees by using online platform technology. Recently, Organizations are supporting their work using the metaverse. This study confirms the effect of metaverse presence on the intention to share knowledge by forming the intrinsic motivation of the employees and the moderating effect of the individual's digital technological competence. We presented research hypotheses through previous studies such as virtual reality and tested the hypotheses using 309 samples obtained through surveys. As a result, the social, tele, and self presence of the metaverse increased organizational-related intrinsic motivation(organizational identification, value congruence) and had a positive effect on the intention to share knowledge. In addition, digital technological competence moderated the relationship between value congruence and intention to share knowledge. This study suggests the importance of strategies to enhance the presence of metaverse for organizations to increase work productivity by using metaverse and the need to support individual digital competence reinforcement.

코비드-19는 사무실 등 특정 공간 내에 사람들의 모임을 최소화할 것을 요구하고 있다. 조직들은 네트워크를 지원하는 온라인 플랫폼 기술을 활용하여, 조직원 간의 정보공유 활동을 장려하고 있다. 최근, 메타버스 플랫폼이 보유한 공간, 경험 등의 실재감 요소가 교환 행동에 도움이 될 수 있다는 관점이 제시되면서, 조직들은 메타버스를 활용한 업무 지원 수준을 높이고 있다. 본 연구는 메타버스 실재감이 조직원의 내적 동기 형성을 통해 지식공유 의도에 미치는 영향과 개인의 디지털 기술 역량의 차이에 의해 지식공유 의도 차이가 존재할 수 있음을 확인하고자 한다. 연구는 가상 현실 등 선행연구를 통해 연구가설을 제시하였으며, 서베이를 통해 확보한 309개 표본을 활용하여 가설 검증을 하였다. 결과는 메타버스의 사회적, 원격, 자기 실재감이 조직 관련 내적 동기(조직 동일시, 가치 일치)를 높여 지식공유 의도에 긍정적 영향을 주었다. 또한, 디지털 기술 역량이 가치 일치와 지식공유 의도 간의 관계를 조절하였다. 본 연구는 메타버스를 활용하여 업무 생산성을 높이고자 하는 조직에 있어 메타버스 실재감 강화의 중요성과 개인의 디지털 역량 강화 지원의 필요성을 제언한다.
