  • 소셜로그인 서비스(authing service)는 온라인 플랫폼들간의 연결을 더욱 용이하게 함으로써 온라인 플랫폼 생태계에 긍정적인 영향을 미치고 있다. 소비자들은 추가적인 로그인 없이 다른 플랫폼으로의 접근이 가능해졌으며 플랫폼들은 다른 플랫폼들로부터 잠정적인 소비자들을 유치할 수 있다는 점이 이점으로 작용한다. 하지만 보다 쉽게 다른 플랫폼에 접속할 수 있는 소셜로그인 서비스는 플랫폼 생태계의 보안을 취약하게 만들고 있다. 즉, 플랫폼들 간의 연결이 많아질수록 소비자들의 편의성은 높아지는 반면에 플랫폼의 보안은 취약해진다. 그러므로 본 연구는 소셜로그인 서비스의 편의성과 보안의 상반관계를 고려하여 플랫폼이 결정해야 하는 적절한 수준의 소셜로그인 서비스를 제시하였을 뿐만 아니라 소셜로그인 전략이 전체적인 플랫폼 생태계에 미치는 영향에 있어서는 게임이론법을 적용하여 분석하였다. 본 연구를 통해 제시한 결과는 다음과 같다. 첫째, 소비자들의 해킹에 대한 기대손실이 낮은 경우, 플랫폼 생태계 전반의 구성원 수는 증가하게 된다. 둘째, 소셜로그인 서비스에서 소비자가 증가할 경우, 연결된 플랫폼들(joint sites)은 소비자들로부터 더 많은 이익을 창출할 수가 있다. 마지막으로, 소비자들의 해킹에 대한 기대손실이 낮은 경우, 플랫폼 제공자들은 플랫폼의 보안과 관련된 노력이 필요하다. 본 연구에서 소셜로그인 서비스를 제공하는 플랫폼 기업들에 대한 연결성과 보안에 대한 방법을 제시하였고, 이외에 전체플랫폼을 분석, 관리하는 정책담당자에게 정책적인 방향을 제시하였다.

  • Currently, Social Media, it has widely a renown keyword and its related social trends and businesses have been fastly applied into various contexts. Social media has become an important research area for scholars interested in online technologies and cyber space and their social impacts. Social media is not only including web-based services but also mobile-based application services that allow people to share various style information and knowledge through online connection. Social media users have tendency to common identity- and bond-attachment through interactions such as 'thumbs up', 'reply note', 'forwarding', which may have driven from various factors and may result in delivering information, sharing knowledge, and specific experiences et al. Even further, almost of all social media sites provide and connect unknown strangers depending on shared interests, political views, or enjoyable activities, and other stuffs incorporating the creation of contents, which provides benefits to users. As fast developing digital devices including smartphone, tablet PC, internet based blogging, and photo and video clips, scholars desperately have began to study regarding diverse issues connecting human beings' motivations and the behavioral results which may be articulated by the format of antecedents as well as consequences related to contents that people create via social media. Social media such as Facebook, Twitter, or Cyworld users are more and more getting close each other and build up their relationships by a different style. In this sense, people use social media as tools for maintain pre-existing network, creating new people socially, and at the same time, explicitly find some business opportunities using personal and unlimited public networks. In terms of theory in explaining this phenomenon, social capital is a concept that describes the benefits one receives from one's relationship with others. Thereby, social media use is closely related to the form and connected of people, which is a bridge that can be able to achieve informational benefits of a heterogeneous network of people and common identity- and bonding-attachment which emphasizes emotional benefits from community members or friend group. Social capital would be resources accumulated through the relationships among people, which can be considered as an investment in social relations with expected returns and may achieve benefits from the greater access to and use of resources embedded in social networks. Social media using for their social capital has vastly been adopted in a cyber world, however, there has been little explaining the phenomenon theoretically how people may take advantages or opportunities through interaction among people, why people may interactively give willingness to help or their answers. The individual consciously express themselves in an online space, so called, common identity- or bonding-attachments. Common-identity attachment is the focus of the weak ties, which are loose connections between individuals who may provide useful information or new perspectives for one another but typically not emotional support, whereas common-bonding attachment is explained that between individuals in tightly-knit, emotionally close relationship such as family and close friends. The common identify- and bonding-attachment are mainly studying on-offline setting, which individual convey an impression to others that are expressed to own interest to others. Thus, individuals expect to meet other people and are trying to behave self-presentation engaging in opposite partners accordingly. As developing social media, individuals are motivated to disclose self-disclosures of open and honest using diverse cues such as verbal and nonverbal and pictorial and video files to their friends as well as passing strangers. Social media context, common identity- and bond-attachment for self-presentation seems different compared with face-to-face context. In the realm of social media, social users look for self-impression by posting text messages, pictures, video files. Under the digital environments, people interact to work, shop, learn, entertain, and be played. Social media provides increasingly the kinds of intention and behavior in online. Typically, identity and bond social capital through self-presentation is the intentional and tangible component of identity. At social media, people try to engage in others via a desired impression, which can maintain through performing coherent and complementary communications including displaying signs, symbols, brands made of digital stuffs(information, interest, pictures, etc,). In marketing area, consumers traditionally show common-identity as they select clothes, hairstyles, automobiles, logos, and so on, to impress others in any given context in a shopping mall or opera. To examine these social capital and attachment, we combined a social capital theory with an attachment theory into our research model. Our research model focuses on the common identity- and bond-attachment how they are formulated through social capitals: cognitive capital, structural capital, relational capital, and individual characteristics. Thus, we examined that individual online kindness, self-rated expertise, and social relation influence to build common identity- and bond-attachment, and the attachment effects make an impact on both the willingness to help, however, common bond seems not to show directly impact on information sharing. As a result, we discover that the social capital and attachment theories are mainly applicable to the context of social media and usage in the individual networks. We collected sample data of 256 who are using social media such as Facebook, Twitter, and Cyworld and analyzed the suggested hypotheses through the Structural Equation Model by AMOS. This study analyzes the direct and indirect relationship between the social network service usage and outcomes. Antecedents of kindness, confidence of knowledge, social relations are significantly affected to the mediators common identity-and bond attachments, however, interestingly, network externality does not impact, which we assumed that a size of network was a negative because group members would not significantly contribute if the members do not intend to actively interact with each other. The mediating variables had a positive effect on toward willingness to help. Further, common identity attachment has stronger significant on shared information.
