Abstract

Since there are growing concerns regarding personal information, users have perceived the importance of it. It makes users try to manage and control personal information by their own intentions. Therefore, we assume users now have begun to perceive psychological ownership on personal information. A main objective of this study is to identitythe relationship between accountability, self-identity, self-efficacy and sense of belongingness and psychological ownership on personal information. We conduct an online-basedsurvey and establish a structural equation model for testing hypothesis. The results show that users' accountability, self-identity and sense of belongingness positively influence to psychological ownership on personal information. Additionally, users' perceived psychological ownership on personal information increase their concern for information privacy. This study suggests a new concept as 'perceived psychological ownership on personal information' to explain for intentions of their psychological possessions toward personal information. The findings of this study can provide a way for how firms have to require clients' personal information with increasing their satisfactions.

오늘날 빈번하게 발생하는 각종 개인정보침해 사고의 증가는 사용자에게 자신의 의지를 바탕으로 개인정보를 통제 및 관리하고자 하는 의지를 발생시킴에 따라, 개인정보에 대한 심리적 소유감을 형성하게 하였다. 이에 본 연구는 무형의 개인정보를 실제로 소유한 것과 같이 개인이 인지하는 상태를 '개인정보 소유감'으로 정의하였으며, 이를 바탕으로 개인정보 소유감에 영향을 미치는 요인과의 관계를 도출하고자 한다. 또한 개인정보 소유감이 개인의 인지된 정보 프라이버시 염려에 미치는 영향을 추가적으로 살펴보는 것에 주된 연구 목적이 있다. 이를 위하여 본 연구에서는 국내 거주하는 400명을 대상으로 온라인 설문조사를 진행하였으며, 수집된 데이터는 구조방정식 모형을 통하여 분석되었다. 분석 결과, 개인정보에 대한 책임감, 자기 동일성, 소속감이 각각 인지된 개인정보에 대한 소유감을 증가시키는 반면에 자기 효능감은 개인정보 소유감에 유의한 영향을 미치지 않았다. 또한 개인이 인지하는 개인정보 소유감이 증가할수록 개인의 정보 프라이버시 염려가 심화되었다. 이와 같은 본 연구의 결과는 무형의 개인정보를 유형의 자산과 같이 개인이 인지할 수 있다는 것을 밝힘에 따라, 개인정보에 대한 사용자의 심리적 소유감과 관련된 연구의 확장에 기여한다. 나아가, 본 연구는 향후 기업에서 고객의 개인정보를 효과적으로 수집 및 활용하기 위해서는 고객이 인지하는 개인정보 소유감의 이해가 선행되어야 함을 시사한다.
