보안위험 수준이 지식관리시스템의 성공에 미치는 영향 = ‘신뢰’를 매개변인으로

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

The purpose of this study is to investigate the user’s perception of security risk and examine its impact on the usage of Knowledge Management Systems(KMS). The findings of this study are three-fold. First, the overall user’s perception of security risk is not high. However, there is a considerably big difference in the perception of security risk among users. This finding means that user’s perception of a security risk is not based on the actual security effects but one’s individual perception. Another finding is that user’s perception of a security risk has a negative impact on the usage of KMS through “trust”, which is a mediating variable in our study. This finding corresponds with the existing theory that security risk is oneof the critical sources of trust, and trust is a critical factor of user’s acceptance of KMS. Finally, the result of this study reveals that activities devoted to security do not decrease the effectiveness and productivity of KMS. Our long-held cognition that security activity hinders the effectiveness and productivity of an information system is not particularly applied to the KMS.
