Abstract

As information security(IS) is recognized as a critical success factor for organizational growth, organizations are increasing their investment in adopting and operating strict IS policies and technologies. However, when strict IS technology is adopted, IS-related techno-stress may occur in the employees who apply IS technology to their tasks. This study proposes the effect of IS-related techno-stress formed in individuals on IS policy resistance through IS strain and proves that task-technology fit mitigates the negative effect of techno-stress. Research models and hypotheses were presented through previous studies, and the secured samples were used, and structural equation modeling was applied to verify hypothesis. As a result of the study, it was confirmed that IS-related techno-stress (overload, complexity) affected IS policy resistance through IS strain (anxiety, fatigue), and that task-technology fit moderated the relationship between techno-stress and strain. This study suggests a strategic direction for improving the level of internal IS from the viewpoint of suggesting ways to mitigate the stress of employees that may occur when IS policies and technologies are adopted.

정보 관리가 조직의 주요 성공 요인으로 인식되면서, 조직은 엄격한 정보보안 정책 및 기술 도입 및 운영을 위한 투자를 높이고 있다. 그러나, 엄격한 정보보안 기술은 업무에 정보보안을 적용하는 조직원에게 기술스트레스를 발생시킬 수 있다. 본 연구의 목적은 정보보안 기술스트레스가 스트레인을 통해 정보보안 정책 저항에 미치는 영향을 제시하고, 업무기술 적합성이 기술스트레스의 영향을 완화하는 것을 확인하는 것이다. 본 연구는 선행연구를 통해 연구 모델 및 가설을 제시하였으며, 설문 조사를 통해 확보된 표본을 활용하여 구조방정식을 통한 가설검증을 하였다. 연구 결과는 정보보안 기술스트레스(과부하, 복잡성)가 정보보안 스트레인(걱정, 피로)을 통해 정보보안 정책 저항에 영향을 주었으며, 업무기술 적합성이 기술스트레스와 스트레인 간의 관계를 조절하는 것을 확인하였다. 본 연구는 정보보안 정책 및 기술의 적용 시 발생 가능한 조직원의 스트레스와 완화 방법을 제시한 관점에서 내부의 정보보안 수준 향상을 위한 전략적 방향을 제시한다.
