Abstract

Focusing upon the post-adoption stage of IS, this study reasoned that IS users' personality is one of major influencing factors of continuous IS usage intention and empirically examined how the degree of continuous IS usage intention is variable according to the IS users' personality types classified based on MBTI(Myers Briggs Type Indicator). In order to validate the research model and hypotheses, this study made a field survey of 330 IS users and statistically analysed response data. The results of empirical analyses showed that the intent of continuous IS usage was affected by self-efficacy of IS; and self-efficacy by self-leadership of IS; and self-leadership by IS user' personality type and expectation confirmation. That is, it was found that IS users' personality type and three intervening variables(expectation confirmation, self-leadership and self-efficacy) were significant predictors of the intent of continuous IS usage. This study is thought to be contributive to providing the theoretical basis of finding IS success factors in the post-adoption stage and the practical guideline for effective personnel management relevant to IS implementation.

본 연구는 정보시스템이 조직에 수용된 후의 이용단계에서 사용자의 성격유형이 지속적인IS 사용의도에 중요한 영향요인들 중 하나임을 추론하였고, 개인의 성격유형판별지표인 MBTI에 근거한 IS 사용자 성격유형에 따라 IS의 지속적인 사용의도의 수준이 어떻게 다른지를 실증적으로 규명하고자 하였다. 본 연구에서 도출된 연구모형과 가설을 검증하기 위해 330명의 IS 실무 사용자를 대상으로 설문조사를 실시하였고, 이에 의해 수집된 자료를 바탕으로 통계분석을 실시하였다. 실증분석 결과, 정보시스템 수용후 단계에 있어서 사용자의 지속적인 사용의도는 IS에 대한 자기효능감에 의해 영향을 받고, 자기효능감은 자기주도성에 의해 영향을 받으며, 자기주도성은 사용자 성격유형과 IS에 대한 기대일치수준에 의해 영향을 받는 것으로 나타났다. 즉, 사용자 성격유형과 3가지 매개변수들(기대일치, 자기주도성, 자기효능감)은 사용자의 지속적인 IS 이용의도의 중요한 에측변인들임이 밝혀졌다. 본 연구결과는 정보시스템 수용 후의 단계에서 IS 성공요인을 규명하는데 대한 이론적 근거를 제공할 뿐 아니라, 조직내 정보시스템의 구축 운영과 관련한 인사관리 업무수행에 있어서 실무적 가이드라인을 제공하는데 기여할 수 있을 것으로 본다.
