Abstract

Sophisticated business intelligent software and personalized web services help collecting and mining huge amounts of personal information. This increase in digitalized personal information and advances in Internet technologies poses new challenges to consumers' information privacy. Based on the identified concept of information privacy concerns (IPC), this study additionally explores the interrelationships among consumers' individual characteristics(self-efficacy, digital literacy, customer alienation), customer satisfaction and intention to buy in e-commerce process. Academically, this study extends IPC to an empirical research model by identifying the conceptualization and organization of IPC. Moreover, practically, e-commerce providers can develop how to relieve IPC of online consumers.

정보기술의 발달로 방대한 고객정보를 확보할 수 있게 되었지만, 이와 더불어 고객정보를 수집하고 활용함에 있어 다양한 정보보안의 문제가 발생되고 있다. 이에 본 연구는 정보보안 우려감의 개념을 기반으로 소비자 정보보안 우려감과 소비자의 개인적 특성(자기효능감, 디지털활용능력, 소비자소외감), 그리고 고객만족도 및 구매의도 간 상관관계를 검증하고자 한다. 학술적으로 본 연구는 정보보안 우려감의 개념과 측정방식을 규명하여 실증모형 검증으로 확장하였다는 의의가 있으며, 실무적으로 이러한 정보보안우려감의 개념을 기반으로 온라인 쇼핑몰 공급자들은 고객의 정보보안우려감을 완화할 수 있는 방법을 개발할 수 있을 것으로 본다.
