초록

이 연구의 목적은 중국 스포츠팬들의 운동선수 SNS이용 동기요인을 분석하는 것에 있다. 8명의 중국 올림픽 선수들의 SNS(Weibo)를 선정하여, 선수들의 동의를 얻은 후 온라인 설문지의 하이퍼 링크를 선수들의 SNS상에 게시하였다. SNS를 방문한 스포츠팬들 중 총 274명이 온라인 설문에 참여하였으나, 질문문항의 일괄적인 처리 혹은 무응답, 오기입 등 신뢰성이 떨어진다고 판단되어지는 33부의 설문지를 제외하고 총 241부를 분석에 사용하였다. 확인적 요인분석과 구조방정식모형 분석을 실시한 결과, diversion, pass-time, athlete supports, 그리고 technical knowledge 동기가 SNS이용에 유의한 정(+)의 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 그러나 information, socialization, 그리고 fanship 동기는 SNS이용에 유의한 영향을 미치지 않는 것으로 나타났다.

This study attempted to identify the motivational factors for using athletes' SNS among Chinese sports fans. The researchers posted a hyperlink of an online survey on a total of 8 Chinese Olympians' SNS(Weibo) accounts after obtaining the athlete's approval. A total of 274 surveys were gathered from the visitors of SNS. Of the 274 surveys, 33 were discarded because of missing values. Confirmatory factor analysis and structural equation modeling revealed the following. Diversion, pass-time, athlete support, and technical knowledge were significantly and positively related to social media consumption while information, socialization, and fanship had no significant predictive effect on social media consumption.
