Abstract

This study focused on SNS use of Chinese students who are studying in Korea. Communication media like SNS is strongly related with socialization of foreigners. Thus, it is expected to verify relationship between current SNS use tendency of Chinese students and their settlement in Korea based on analysis on the factor influencing SNS use of Chines students. For the study on the factor influencing to SNS use of Chinese students in Korea TAM model was used as a research frame. Based on TAM theory technological attribute, individual attribute and social attribute were taken out as independent variables. Perceived ease of use and perceived usefulness are applied as mediator variables. In research conclusion, some hypotheses are adopted the same as existing theory, but some hypotheses for example service quality and individual attribute are rejected as variables which influence positively to mediator variable perceived easy of use. For the next research more various variables and nationwide sampling will be needed. Based on this research it is expected to be analysed correlation between foreigners settlement in Korea and communication media like SNS.

본 논문은 최근 급증하고 있는 중국 유학생들의 SNS 이용 현상에 대해서 탐색하고자 하였다. SNS와 같은 커뮤니케이션 미디어는 그 활용 정도에 따라서 사회화와 깊은 관계가 있다. 따라서 국내 중국 유학생들의 SNS 이용 현황 및 그러한 SNS 이용에 영향을 미치는 요인에 대해서 분석해봄으로써 중국 유학생들의 스마트미디어 이용 트랜드와 한국 사회 정착의 관계를 유추해볼 수 있을 것으로 기대한다. 국내 중국 유학생의 SNS 이용에 영향을 미치는 요인에 대한 연구를 위해서 연구틀로 새로운 기술 수용 연구에 활용되어온 정보기술수용모델(TAM)을 적용하였다. TAM 이론에 근거해서 SNS의 기술적속성과 개인적속성 그리고 사회적속성을 독립변인으로 도출하였고, TAM에서 전통적으로 매개변인으로 입증된 지각된 용이성과 지각된 유용성을 매개변인으로 적용하였다. 연구 결과 몇몇 가설은 기존의 연구와 같은 결과를 보였으나, 서비스품질과 개인의 혁신성 등은 기존 이론과 달리 지각된 용이성에 긍정적인 영향을 미치지 않는 것으로 나타났다. 이는 SNS가 가지고 있는 미디어적 특성과 또 이미 어느정도는 익숙한 사회적 매체로 자리매김한 결과로 유추할 수 있겠다. 향후 보다 다양한 변인의 발굴과 전국 단위의 샘플링을 통해서 보다 객관적인 연구를 한다면 한국내 외국인들의 사회정착화와 커뮤니케이션 미디어의 상관관계를 고찰하는데 큰 도움이 될 것으로 기대한다.
