This study aims to investigate the usage patterns of users in Social Network Services (SNS) where is an upsurge. Specifically, the paper considers the reason why young people more and more prefer online (or mobile) SNS activities rather than offline face-to-face social relationship. Furthermore, the drivers which affect SNS usages are considered from users' personal characteristics and social influences. User's personal characteristics include their personalities (extraversion and introversion), narcissism, and life satisfaction. Social influences involve subjective norm, visibility, and image. Affected by personal and social factors in SNS, users intend to show positive self-presentation, which refers to a behavior to selectively expose his/her goodness to others. As one of the most influential drivers affecting SNS usage, the positive self-representation has an effect on the level of SNS usage. Thus, this paper suggests the hypothesized research model focusing on positive self-representation in the relationship among personal characteristics, social influence, and user's behavior in SNS. Empirical data analysis with 100 questionnaires suggests that all hypotheses were adopted except for the effect of visibility among social influence factors on positive self-representation.

This study aims to examine the impact of characteristics of SNS content provided by airlines on customer satisfaction and to explore the effect of the personal characteristics of the customers which have a modulating effect on the relationship between content characteristics of SNS and customer satisfaction. The data were collected over a period of April 21. 2019. to July 21. 2019. for three months from the people who have experience using SNS provided by airlines. 225 samples were selected and used as final samples from a collection rate of 93.4 percent. Findings suggest that the characteristics of airline's SNS content which include a promotion, information, and communication showed a positive impact on customer satisfaction. The analysis of a modulating effect of individual characteristics on the relationship between the airline's SNS content characteristics showed that diversity pursuit propensity, innovation propensity, and information-seeking propensity control the relationship between characteristics of airline's SNS content which are publicity, information and customer satisfaction. And it was found that all three personal characteristics do not control the relationship between communication and customer satisfaction. Thus, airlines should use SNS more effectively to generate customer satisfaction and present marketing measures to help generate profits through consumer purchasing behavior. It is expected that the findings of this study will help airlines to utilize marketing implications for effective and practical marketing methods.

SNS 게시물 기록은 개인기록의 일부이나 그 본질적 특성에 대해 다루어지지 않았다. 그간 기술적인 특성에 주로 주목하였으며 정체성이나 온라인 공간을 고려한 연구는 드물었다. 본 연구는 SNS 게시물이 온라인 정체성을 반영한 기록이며 온라인 및 온라인과 관련된 사건을 재현하는데 SNS 게시물 기록이 의미가 있음을 주장하였다. 자기역사의 관점에서 개인이 겪은 사건을 서사적 자아 관점에서 자기역사 구성을 제안하였으며, 이 과정에서 SNS 게시물 기록이 중요한 역할을 함을 주장하였다. 이를 위해 SNS의 매체적 특성과 개인의 활용방식을 함께 분석하였다.

Despite the growing use of SNS and the increasing number of recruitment related to SNS, little research has been conducted between career preparation activities and relationship with SNS. Therefore, this study investigates the relationships among purpose of using instagram, flow of instagram and career preparation behavior using structural equation model, and by investigating the adjustment effect of the personal characteristic among them. To this end an online survey was conducted for students who want to be cabin crew. The results of this study show that motivation of using instagram had a positive and significant effect on flow of instagram, which in turn positively influenced career preparation behavior. Furthermore, it could be confirmed that there was a adjustment moderating effect on personal characteristic between purpose of using instagram and flow of using instagram. The results of this study suggest that the likelihood of recruitment for being cabin crew can be achieved by identifying mutual relationships among motivation of using instagram, flow of instagram, career preparation behavior, and personal characteristics.

본 연구의 목적은 SNS 사용특성과 대출상품의 특성, 개인특성이 신용대출 상환에 미치는 영향력을 확인하여 SNS를 활용하는 대안신용평가가 기존 대출심사를 보완할 수 있는지를 검증하기 위함이다. 이를 위해 SNS를 활용하여 실제 대출심사에 반영하고 있는 T사 A 신용대출 프로그램 데이터를 이용하여 SNS 사용특성, 대출특성, 개인특성이 신용대출 상환에 미치는 영향력을 이항로지스틱 회귀분석을 통해 분석하였다. 분석결과 첫째, 사용자의 성격 및 개별 특성을 나타내는 프로필 사진의 경우 본인을 드러내지 않으려고 프로필 사진을 등록하지 않은 사람들과 달리 외향적인 경향의 사람이 선택할 가능성이 큰 본인 사진, 가족, 친구 등의 사적그룹 사진, 성실성의 경향이 강한 사람이 선택할 확률이 높은 취미 등 사회활동 사진, 개방성과 신경성이 높은 경향의 사람이 많이 선택하는 캐릭터·유머 사진, 개인의 사생활과 직결되는 가족·친구 등 사진을 SNS에 사용하는 사람들일수록 신용대출 상환에 적극적인 것으로 나타났다. 본인을 감추는 풍경 등의 사진 사용과 신용대출 상환과의 인과관계는 통계적으로 유의하지 않은 것으로 나타났다. 또한, SNS 사용량이 많을수록 신용대출 상환가능성이 높아지는 것으로 나타났다. 반면 SNS 소통량은 신용대출 상환가능성에 유의한 영향을 미치지 않는 것으로 나타났는데, 이는 소통량이라는 변수가 사용자가 직접 작성한 글보다는 타인의 댓글에 대한 공감을 나타내는 수동적 측면이 강하기 때문에 나타난 결과라 판단된다. 대출채권이 가진 특성을 나타내는 대출기간과 대출횟수도 신용대출 상환에 통계적으로 유의한 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 이는 대출기간과 대출횟수가 소액대출 상품에서도 중요한 영향요소로 고려되어야 함을 의미한다. 개인 특성 변수 중에서는 성별만 유의하게 나타났다. 이는 분석에 사용한 대출프로그램이 은행 등의 금융기관에서 대출이 불가능한 저신용 점수를 가진 20~30대 고객이 대부분인 상품으로 이용자의 나이와 신용점수에 있어서 차별성이 크지 않다는 것을 의미한다. 본 연구는 SNS사용량과 프로필 사진 등 기존 신용평가 연구에서 다루지 않은 변수를 사용하여 신용대출 상환과의 영향관계를 실증분석 하였다는 점에서 기존 연구와 차별성을 갖는다. SNS와 같은 주관적 비정형정보를 서민지원 대출심사에 활용한다면, 신용거래가 없어서 신용등급이 낮거나 단기적 유동성 함정에 빠진 차입자 즉 금융이력부족자(Thin filer)들이 신용거래 등의 금융 이력이 축적될 때까지의 신용비용에 대한 불이익을 감소시킬 수 있다는 점에서 의의가 있다.

SNS(Social Network Services) is being recognized as an important part in our society, individual lives and corporate business aspects, and the influence of SNS is growing explosively as expansion and supply of infrastructures that support mobile environments increase. Previous studies related to SNS were focused on user acceptance of new technology, based on Technology Acceptance Model(TAM). However, they had a limitation to focus on technology acceptance, without the consideration of personal and behavioral factors in SNS use. However, above all, successful SNS requires the understanding of users who are active on the network. Therefore, from the user's perspective, this study attempted a multi-dimensional approach by reflecting characteristics that come from SNS usage. This study considered user innovation, virtual skill, self-efficacy, social pressure and network effect as independent variables, and perceived ease-of-use, perceived usefulness and perceived value as mediating variables, and intention-to-use as dependent variable. The result showed that user innovation, self-efficacy, social pressure and network effect had a significant effect on the mediating variables. The practical contribution of this study is to suggest useful decision alternatives concerned to marketing strategy for acquiring and retaining lone-term customers related to SNS business.

The social network services (SNS) like Facebook, have gained an enormous amount of popularity. However, side-effects of Facebook usage are occasionally reported such as sense of alienation and cyber-bullying. Among these potential factors threatening to the success of SNS, this research focused on alienation and intends to investigate possible factors that affect SNS alienation and how it affects on SNS attachment and proactive use of SNS. Through extensive literature reviews regarding online and offline alienation, SNS characteristics, and SNS usage, we generated the research model and hypotheses. We surveyed 142 Facebook users and empirically proved that among SNS characteristics, complexity increases SNS alienation, and interactivity and social presence positively affect SNS attachment. Offline alienation, one of the personal attributes, increases both SNS alienation and SNS attachment at the same time while the number of SNS friends have no significant effects. In addition, SNS alienation decreases proactive use of Facebook while SNS attachment increases it. Theoretical and practical implications are discussed based on research findings, and we also suggest future research directions to minimize negative consequences due to SNS users' sense of alienation.
