Abstract

Technological countermeasures have been chosen by many companies for information systems security. However, such countermeasures often proved unsatisfactory in mitigating security accidents since organizations failed to invest enough money for developing and maintaining those technologies or they wasted money on commercial security products that did not complement their organization's specific IT environments and requirements. Therefore, employees who use the information technology suffer from many stresses that are referred to as technostress. However, previous study has separately focused on technological and behavioral factors. Thus, the proposed study is to explain and examine empirically technological factors and behavioral factors together.

그동안 많은 기업들은 정보보안을 위해 기술적 대안을 주로 선택해왔다. 특히 기업들은 자신의 기업에 맞는 보안 기술이 아니라 가격효율성을 고려하여 상용화 패키지를 구입하는 경우가 많았다. 이 경우 조직의 환경 및 조직이 지금까지 사용하고 있는 시스템과의 이질성으로 인해 조직원들이 느끼는 기술적 이질감은 더욱더 높아질 수밖에 없다. 이로 인해 조직원들은 정보보안에 대해 불편함을 느끼거나, 자신의 업무의 생산성을 저해한다고 느끼게 된다. 또한 기존의 정보기술이외에 또 다른 기술인 보안시스템에 대한 적응과 학습이 필요하기 때문에 조직원들이 느끼는 기술스트레스는 자연스럽게 증가할 수밖에 없다. 이에 따라 본 연구는 보안의 기술적 측면과 인적 측면을 고려한 연구를 기업의 정보보안 상황에 적용해보고자 한다.
