Despite the endless efforts of government, companies and academic circle, the number of technology leakage cases has increased every year.
Under the circumstances, this study examined some limits of the current personnel security and main motives of the illegal activity and then, suggested some ways to solve the problem, which leads to protection of the national economy.
Personnel Security literally handles the personnel, so that we should admit that there are such limits as 1)human psychology and desires should be considered, 2) the relationship between management and labor is "unstably" sharing common destiny.
Main reasons for the leakage are related to the psychological and natural desires including money, retirement anxiety, grievance on unfair treatment, complaint on change in personnel.
However, current compulsory security system, which is adopted by most of the companies, put importance on only control-centered ways, not considering the basic human desires.
In this regard, this study discussed autonomous personnel security, not compulsory personnel security to overcome the limitation of the existing control-centered security management.
Enhancing employees' loyalty might be one of autonomous security methods. If employees have pride and loyalty to their companies, they will not stab in the back. In this regard, some case studies of real work situation to boost loyalty have been discussed in this study.
Despite that, some leakage have occurred because of simple mistakes or carelessness, so that some of the existing compulsory personnel security methods are also needed.
Following autonomous personnel security can be applied.
1) Enhancement of the security awareness of top management
2) Introduction of satisfactory compensation system for core personnel
3) Development of win-win culture between management and labor
4) Introduction of the so-called "self-projects"
5) Introduction of the retraining system
6) Creation of atmosphere that employees think that they are working in the lifelong workplace
7) Introduction of customized security training
8) Implementation of mentoring program
Following compulsory personnel security can also be implemented.
1) Establishing security system depending on situation of the company
2) Preparing security manual based on function
3) Tightening penalties and punishment
4) Introducing the licence of "industrial security manager" and setting up a unit to take charge of the security
Of course, above-mentioned suggestions cannot be applied in some companies due to heavy cost and manpower shortage, but, some examples witnessed that the CEO's leadership ability to fully understand the basic needs of his employees can enhance their loyalty, leading to boosting productivity.
Therefore, those cost should be regarded not as an expense, but as an investment. For example, if an employee made an important invention, the management should give him a reward vacation or an extra bonus or write a pledge to give him a portion of the profit, then his loyalty to company will be drastically increased.
This study is meaningful in that it applied psychological approach on security issue, considering the fact that most of the studies so far have mainly centered on the law and regulation.
Admittedly, it was not easy to refer to previous studies, because few studies has been examine with this method so far,
To further develop this field of the study, it is necessary to continuously examine so-called "study on psychological security-management" to scientifically and systematically analyze the psychology of the personnel and enhance the productivity.
To conclude, more studies on this topic can help decrease the number of cases of technological leakage, increase productivity, and eventually, develop the nation's economy.
