Social network service(SNS), provided by social network sites such as Facebook, Twitter and Cyworld is rapidly growing in online business. Furthermore, many companies have growing interests in finding effective ways to use SNSs for their innovations, marketing and advertisement. In fact, firms have recognized the utility value of the SNS for their business. In this aspect, this study attempts to identify key factors influencing the intention to continuous use of SNSs. Based on the UTAUT(the Unified Theory of Acceptance and Usage of Technology)model, this study proposes the research model, including the effects of social network service characteristics(social relationship support, information sharing, image expression) and individual characteristics(self-disclosure, extroversion, familiarity) on performance expectancy as well as the moderating effect of perceived information security among UTAUT variables. The 412T sets of data collected in a survey were tested against the modeling using SEM using SmartPLS. Results indicated that social network service and individual characteristics had significant effect on performance expectancy with exception of self-disclosure. In addition, the moderating effect of perceived information security had significant effect. The results had important implications for firms providing SNSs hoping to develop a successful business model.

최근 대학 수업에서 SNS(Social Network Service)를 활용하여 교수자와 학습자 간의 협력적인 상호작용 및 의사소통을 향상시키고자 지속적인 노력이 이루어지고 있다. 본 연구는 SNS를 활용한 수업에서 예비교사의 자아탄력성, 사회적 지지 수준이 수업성과 인식에 어떠한 관계가 있는가를 알아보기 위하여 대전 충남지역 대학의 예비교사 137명을 대상으로 하여 설문조사를 실시하였다. 연구 결과에 따르면, 여학생보다 남학생의 수업 만족도가 높은 것으로 나타났으며, 자아탄력성-사회적 지지, 자아탄력성-수업 만족도, 사회적 지지-수업 만족도, 사회적 지지-학기 만족도, 수업 만족도-학기 만족도 간에 유의한 상관이 있는 것으로 나타났다. 또한 자아탄력성과 사회적 지지가 수업성과 인식에 유의한 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 이에, 대학 교직과정에서 다양한 뉴미디어를 활용한 수업을 성공적으로 운영하기 위해서는 학습자 특성 및 수업활동 적응에 보다 세밀한 관심을 기울일 필요가 있다.

This study focuses on examining the determinants of smartphone-based social network services(SNS) use. That is, the study explores the key factors affecting the use of smartphone-based SNS. People who have been using online-based SNS such as Cyworld and Facebook for years are now using mobile-based SNS such as KakaoStory. Under the situation. the study attempts to draw key determinants of smartphone-based SNS use from the studies of TAM, hedonic information systems, and social perspectives. To test the hypotheses, we conducted partial least squares (PLS) analysis using a total of 233 data collected on the users of smartphone-based SNS including KakaoTalk and KakaoStory. The key findings are as follows : first, it is verified that both ease of use and usefulness, two main factors in TAM, had positive effects on smartphone-based SNS use. Second, for enjoyment and escapism considered as the two main factors of hedonic IS characteristics, only the effect of enjoyment on SNS use was significant. Finally, social ties as a factor of social characteristics had the most significant effect on smartphone-based SNS use. The result implies that smartphone-based SNS can be one of the major means of maintaining existing social ties.

최근 들어 스마트폰의 급속한 확산이 이루어지면서 소셜 네트워크 서비스 이용이 증가되고 있으며 대고객 관계관리 및 브랜드 관리의 중요한 매체로서 소셜 네트워크 서비스에 대한 중요성이 커지고 있다. 본 연구는 소셜 네트워크 서비스에 대한 한국과 중국 이용자들 간에 SNS의 서비스품질과 선택행동에 대한 인식의 차이가 있는지를 살펴보는데 목적을 두었다. 연구목적 달성을 위해 서비스품질과 선택행동에 관련된 선행연구를 바탕으로 서비스품질과 선택행동의 하위 차원을 각각 도출한 후 이 요인들에 대한 T-test를 실시하였다. 실증분석 결과 SNS 이용에 있어 한 중 양국 이용자의 서비스품질이 유의한 차이가 있는 것으로 분석되었고, 선택행동도 유의한 차이가 있는 것으로 밝혀졌다. 이러한 결과는 SNS연구에 이론적 시사점 제공할 뿐만 아니라 해외 시장에 진출하려는 관련분야 기업들에게 도 실무적 시사점을 제공해 줄 수 있다.

The first purpose of this paper is to identify factors having an effect on the user satisfaction of the SNS(Social Network Services) users and to examine causal relationships among those factors. The second is to examine how the causal relationships between the factors could be changed in the service types in SNS, which would be divided into web based SNS and mobile SNS. For achieving the purposes, we established the research model and hypotheses based on Information Success and Technology Acceptance Model. The characteristics of the SNS users consist of Individual Innovation and Social Influence while the characteristics of the SNS system consist of Information Quality and System Quality. The hypotheses were verified by analyzing data, which was collected from survey research on users of the SNS, with AMOS 18.0 statistical package. As a result, the first, we observed that more important the SNS users would consider the social relation, more useful they would recognize the function of SNS. The second, we observed that faster and easier the users could obtain hourly information in diversity, more useful they would recognize the function of SNS. The third, we observed that more innovative the mobile SNS users would become, more negative they would consider the usefulness of SNS. The fourth, we observed that more important the web based SNS users would consider the social relation, more negative they would consider the usefulness of SNS.

Recently, there has been an active service that provides customized news to news subscribers. In this study, we intend to design a customized news service system through Deep Learning-based Social Network Service (SNS) activity analysis, applying real news and avoiding fake news. In other words, the core of this study is the study of delivery methods and delivery devices to provide customized news services based on analysis of users, SNS activities. First of all, this research method consists of a total of five steps. In the first stage, social network service site access records are received from user terminals, and in the second stage, SNS sites are searched based on SNS site access records received to obtain user profile information and user SNS activity information. In step 3, the user's propensity is analyzed based on user profile information and SNS activity information, and in step 4, user-tailored news is selected through news search based on user propensity analysis results.

The wide spread of smartphones and the growth of the number of internet users are reshaping the SNS (Social Network Service). Merging into other service areas and creating new business models with high profits, SNS is no more a service simply providing personal connections. Now SNS has positioned itself as a service platform. SNG (Social Network Game) is a new outcome utilizing SNS as a game platform and showing a rapid growth rate in a short period of time. The number of SNG users is expected to increase steadily. In this study, we examine whether SNG user motivations lead to flow experience and future intention to use. For that purpose, we conducted a survey with smartphone users. The results indicate that flow experience functions as a mediator and user motivations indirectly affect intention to use through flow experience. This paper concludes with discussions on findings and suggestions for future research.

Why people reduce or stop using social network services(SNS), which are regarded as a mean of relationship and communication, unlike the early trend? To explain the phenomenon, this study tries to predict psychological decision making process of users from perspectives of cognitive dissonance theory. From this perspective, this study attempted an integrative approach that reflected 'User's literacy' indicating the ability of individuals to use SNS, and 'negative mass media influence' such as media reports on side effects or the bad experiences of acquaintances, along with the 3 factors used in the SNS Prior research. This study conducted an empirical analysis by surveying 256 facebook users, and the major findings are as follows:- First, Social-overload, complexity, uncertainty and negative media influence are significantly affect dissonance on the use of SNS. Second, Dissonance on the use of SNS significantly affects the behavior that possibly reduces and limits the use of SNS. In other words, the users who have experienced psychological dissonance respond passively by avoiding the use of SNS to resolve the dissonance. Third, the moderating effect of User's literacy wasn't a significant. This study presents a clue to understand psychological decision making process of use of SNS and a guideline for establishing practical strategies. In addition, it is important to note that this study contributes to expansion of theoretical discussion about usage.
