Abstract

We attempted to confirm the current status of the use of mobile phones by soldiers, especially SNS, in today's situation where the use of mobile phones is completely allowed, and to reach an agreement for the use of functional SNS in military life. To this end, 189 students at the Korea Army Academy at Yeongcheon were measured for SNS use motivation and life satisfaction, and the relationship between each sub-variable of SNS use motivation and satisfaction was analyzed. As a result, 3 out of 4 motives for using SNS had nothing to do with satisfaction, and rather, among the sub-variables, the pursuit of status showed a negative correlation with satisfaction. Therefore, the use of SNS to search for information or ideas should be encouraged. In addition, these findings prove that the vague belief that allowing SNS will increase the satisfaction of soldiers is not reasonable, suggesting that a careful approach is required to utilize functional SNS in the military.

우리는 군 내 장병들의 휴대폰 사용이 전면 허용된 오늘날 상황에서 장병들의 휴대폰의 사용, 특히 SNS 의 사용의 현 실태를 확인하고 군 생활에 기능적인 SNS 사용을 위한 합의점을 도출하고자 하였다. 특히 SNS 이용 동기에 주목해 각 하위변인과 삶의 만족도 간 관계를 탐색하여 군 관리자로 하여금 장병들의 SNS 사용에 대해 올바르게 지도할 수 있도록 도움을 주고자 한다. 이를 위해 육군3사관학교 생도 189명을 대상으로 SNS 이용 동기와 삶의 만족도를 측정하였고 SNS 이용 동기의 각 하위변인과 만족도와의 관계를 분석하였다. 먼저 생도들의 SNS 이용 동기는 정보 추구가 가장 높았으며, 지위 추구가 가장 작았다. 다음으로 SNS 이용 동기 중 정보 추구는 만족도의 하위요인에 정적 영향을 미쳤으나, 지위 추구는 오히려 만족도와 부적 상관을 보였다. 따라서 정보 혹은 아이디어 탐색을 위한 SNS 사용을 장려해야 한다. 또한, 사관생도들의 이러한 연구결과는 SNS의 허용이 장병의 만족도를 높여줄 것이라는 막연한 믿음이 합리적이지 않음을 증명하며, 그러므로 군 내 기능적인 SNS 활용을 위한 신중한 접근이 요구됨을 시사한다.
