Abstract:

 

The military should efficiently manage peacetime strength and operate military power to achieve victory in a war. Also, it should strive to enhance its readiness with the operation of many personnel, equipment, facilities, etc. However, as a result of increasing difficulty in investing in defense due to citizens' growing request for economic development and welfare, already established information systems should be actively utilized for efficient defense resource management. This study examines the impact of military DELIIS use factors and suggests options to promote the sustainable intent of use of the system. In this regard, the paper sets up a hypothesis on the sustainable intent of use centering on users from military organizations, and conducted surveys on a random sample of logistics action-level personnel in the lowest level of echelons. The results show that the functional quality was the lowest out of all subfactors in an equipment maintenance system including operating system quality, functional quality, content quality, network quality, and service quality. Also, perceived ease (PE) had a medium effect in a relationship with perceived usefulness (PU), and PU had a medium effect in a relationship with PE and sustainable intent of use. Thus, for an equipment maintenance information system (EMIS), it is shown that the swift nature of the system network and improvement of factors considering the user's convenience are important factors, and sustainable use factors include the system's superiority and possibility of wide use.
