초록

이 연구의 목적은 대학 스포츠팀의 SNS의 사용자를 분석하여 어떠한 사용자가 온라인상에서 정보공유와 전달에 있어서 영향력이 있는지를 규명하는 것에 있다. 이를 위하여 영향력 있는 사용자는 대학의 공식 계정, 미디어 계정, 비전문가 일반인 계정으로 구분되었다. 이를 위해 NCAA Division 1에 속해있는 대학교들을 대상으로, 편의표본추출법을 이용하여 총 14개의 공식 트위터 계정이 선정되었다. 분석결과, 남자 스포츠에서는 비전문가 일반인 계정이 영향력 있는 사용자 중 가장 높은 비율을 차지하였으며, 미디어계정과 대학공식 계정이 뒤를 이었다. 여자 스포츠에서는 비전문가 일반인 계정이 영향력 있는 사용자 중에 가장 높은 비율을 차지하였으며, 대학의 공식계정과 미디어계정이 뒤를 이었다. 이 연구의 결과는 스포츠시장에서 점차 중요도가 높아지고 있는 SNS를 활용한 다양한 마케팅 전략과 후속연구를 위한 기초자료를 제공한다.

This study tried to identify the influential users of college sports teams' Twitter accounts and categorize them into three groups including an official account, media account, and layperson account. A total of 14 Twitter accounts at NCAA Division 1 universities were selected through convenience sampling method. In men's sports, the greatest number of influential users was layperson account followed by media account and official account. In women's sports, the greatest number of influential users was layperson account followed by official account and media account. The results provided the insight of college sports online social network and will expand the growing literature on social media in sport and offer practical data for marketers to use social media more effectively.
