본 연구는 조직의 작업정보환경이 개인의 피이드백 추구 행위에 어떤 영향을 주는가에 관한 탐색적인 연구이다. 피이드백 추구 행위를 '탐지'와 '문의'의 유형으로 나누되, 피이드백 원천에 따라 상사에 대한 문의, 상사에 대한 탐지, 동료에 대한 문의, 동료에 대한 탐지를 구분하였으며, 작업정보환경은 피이드백 원천(상사, 동료, 자기자신)으로부터의 피이드백을 피이드백 부호(긍정적 피이드백, 부정적 피이드백)에 따라 평가하였다. 연구의 방법은 군 헬리콥터 조정사 훈련생 187명을 대상으로 질문지 방법에 의하였다. 연구의 결과 첫째, '탐지'와 '문의'의 피이드백 추구행위는 정의 상관관계를 보임으로써 피이드백 추구전략으로서 두 행위 유형은 서로 대체관계에 있지 않으며, 특정 유형의 피이드백 추구행위가 오히려 다른 유형의 피이드백 추구행위에 대한 필요성을 높여주고 있는 것으로 나타났다. 즉, '탐지'를 통한 피이드백과 '문의'를 통한 피이드백은 적어도 질적으로 상이한 정보를 제공하여 주는 것으로 인식되고 있음을 알 수 있다. 둘째, 어떤 원천으로부터 제공되었거나 추구된 피이드백 정보는 다른 피이드백 원천으로의 추구행위와 정의 상관관계를 보임으로써, 여러 피이드백 원천들로부터 제공되는 피이드백 정보는 피이드백 수신자에게 서로 대체적인 역할을 하지 않으며, 특정 피이드백 원천으로부터의 피이드백은 피이드백 수신자로 하여금 질적으로 상이한 정보를 제공하여 주는 것으로 인식되는 상이한 원천으로부터의 피이드백을 추구하도록 한다는 것을 알 수 있다. 셋째, 작업정보환경에서 긍정적 피이드백이 주어지면 인상관리의 측면에서 적극적으로 피이드백을 추구하는 경향이 있었으며, 부정적 피이드백이 주어진 경우, 본 연구에서와 같이 성과가 매우 중요시 여겨지는 조직에서는 개인이 그 정보적 가치를 높게 평가하여 대체로 피이드백을 적극적으로 추구하는 경향이 있는 것으로 나타났다.

Despite the increase in the number of international students residing in Korea, there is lack of research on their Everyday Information Seeking behaviors. This study investigated the information needs and information seeking behaviors of international students in Korea according to the settlement stages (before entry, initial settlement, and present) through Critical Incident Technology (CIT). International students in Korea reported their daily life-related information needs more frequently than their academic-related information needs. International students used multiple information sources for seeking information, such as websites, social media, and friends. Compared to websites, international students demonstrated higher satisfaction with interactive sources such as social media and friends. It was found that the language barrier is the biggest difficulty that international students experience during the information seeking process. Unfamiliarity with Korean society and culture were addressed as another difficulty. Based on the understanding of international students' information needs and seeking behaviors throughout the settlement stages, recommendations for helping international students search for information in their daily life were discussed.

Sense-Making Theory gives persuasive power to information seeking behavior while acknowledging the diversity of subjects. It is being used as a theory and methodology to explain the phenomenon of information seeking in various temporal and spatial contexts related to the communication of individuals' inner realms, face-to-face, organization, and mass communication. However, it is not to be a theory to explain the information seeking behavior of a group in that it explains the individual epistemological interpretation of the subjects. Also, the purpose of the theory was to establish a receiver-centered communication theory that constructs sense-making by itself, away from the receiver who unilaterally accepts the sender's information from the perspective of communication theory. However, Dervin accepted the existence of object information without explaining the relationship between the recipient's external information and the receiver. Owing to the establishing his concept of information following the Popper(1972)'s world concept, its object of observation is not World III(objective content of thought), but the process of sense making in which World II(psychological world) receives information generated in World III. In this context, Dervin's theory is not to explain the communication behavior at a group level.

인터넷이 발전함에 따라 사람들은 필요로 하는 정보를 쉽고 빠르게 찾을 수 있게 되었다. 또한 세계화가 급속히 이루어지면서 개인이 속한 사회의 크기가 커지고 다양한 역할, 관계 속에서 정보추구행위가 빈번히 일어나고 있다. 그러나 개인의 다양한 사회적 역할에 따른 대학원생의 정보추구행태에 관한 연구는 찾아보기 어려운 상황이다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 국내 대학원생들을 대상으로 이들의 사회적 역할에 따른 다양한 정보추구행태에 대해 알아보고자 하였다. 정성적인 연구 수행을 위해 국내외 선행연구 분석을 하여 인터뷰 질문 문항을 신분, 전반적인 정보추구행태, 선호하는 정보원과 그 유형, 검색과정과 만족도 등 4가지로 구성하였다. 연구 결과, 대학원생들이 처해 있는 다양한 사회적 역할 속에서의 경험이 전반적으로 정보추구행태에 어느 정도 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다.

This study was conducted to find ways to improve people's perceptions to prevent and detect breast cancer. Health belief model(HBM) was used to examine the relationship between. risk perception of breast cancer, and benefit perception, and information seeking. In addition, the role of autonomous motives was included in the model. The results shows that the more people perceived cancer as dangerous, or perceived cancer screeing as beneficial, the more likely they seek relavant health information. Also, high autonomous motives showed positive effects on info seeking. Information seeking behaviors also had a positive impact on health screening intentions.

This study was to investigate the effects of workers' attitudes to internet health information(AIHI), e-health literacy(eHL) on internet health information seeking behavior(IHISB) and health-related behavioral intention(HBI). 152 workers conducted the structured questionnaires from May to July 2017. Data analyzed by t-test, ANOVA, and multiple regression analysis. Factors affecting IHISB were identified to be eHL (${\beta}=.33$, p<.011), and perceived usefulness for internet health information(PU)(${\beta}=.28$, p=.002), and factors affecting HBI were identified to be PU(${\beta}=.33$, p=.001), information utilization(IU)(${\beta}=.24$, p=.003), and eHL(${\beta}=.18$, p=.002). As above results, considering the eHL of workers, it is necessary to build an internet health information system and develop education program that increase IU.

This study aims to find an optimal method for the mobile map application to provide directions by analyzing users' behavior in wayfinding and the information referenced in the direction-finding tasks. The mobile application provided information such as 'the name of the store on the first floor,' 'current location and directions to proceed if there are multi-branching roads,' and 'alleyways.' In the visual representation of information, the application should pay attention to 'landmark elements such as subway station exits and bus stops,' 'the color of crosswalks and overpasses,' 'division between sidewalks and driveways,' and 'entry to the subway stations.' For the mobile map application to provide intuitive interaction, it is necessary to specify 'the direction toward the destination,' 'the possible rotation of the map screen,' and 'the big roads' preference guidance.'

The purpose of this study is to construct a substantive theory that described and explained how pregnant women are seeking information in context of pregnancy. A qualitative design based on the method of grounded theory was utilized. In-depth interviews were conducted with 16 pregnant women, selected by theoretical sampling who receiving antenatal care 3 different university hospitals. The interview data were transcribed and systematically analyzed according to the open coding, axial coding and selective coding. 'Increasing Sense of Self-Control over Pregnancy' was the core category for describing and guiding the process of seeking information during the pregnancy. To construct a theory of 'Increasing Sense of Self-Control over Pregnancy' in this study, eight hypothetical statement were generated from the relationships among the core category and the other categories, thus four patterns were derived as follows: 'Desperately Seeking', 'Actively Seeking', 'Unconcernedly Seeking', 'Resignedly Seeking'. The implications of the findings are discussed in terms of development of LIS theory in Korea, theory development of information behavior, education for LIS, and information service practice. The suggestions for further research are provided.

Despite the increasing number of international students in Korea, there is a lack of research on the health information-seeking behavior of international students. This study examined the health information search behavior of international students in Korea through a questionnaires and in-depth interviews adopting Critical Incident Technique. Most frequent health information needs that the participants experienced were related to Covid-19 and locating doctors/hospitals. The difficulties in seeking health information were language barriers, lack of knowledge of the Korean medical system, insufficient or overflowing information on the Internet. However, despite the language barrier, international students mainly used Korean sources (friends/family, websites, social media) for searching health information. In order to search health information on Korean websites, they used Google Translator or got help from bilingual friends/family members. The participants who have lived in Korea for a shorter period of time or who have lower Korean language proficiency tend to obtain health information through the community on social networks; whereas the longer the period of residence in Korea and the better the Korean language proficiency, the more likely to use websites. Only 28% of the participants gave positive answers to the question asking their confidence in finding the health information they needed. It is discussed how to help international students find accurate and credible health information.

This study interpreted film-creators' information behavior by reconstructing information behavior in the process of film-planning using human information behavior. Film creators exchange, collect, and analyze information through channels in the information environment so called "the small world." After these processes, they strategically express this information by creating a film. This study concludes that the purpose of film-creating activity and that of everyday life information seeking are intertwined and that co-communication is the most important information channel and information source.
