An integrated evaluation system for personal informatization levels and their maturity measuement: Korean motors company case

Abstract

It is an incontestable fact that an enterprise's competitiveness these days is reflected by whether an individual has the application capability and knowledge related to information technology. This study improves upon the previous research of evaluation systems for personal informatization level and its maturity measurement. To measure the personal informatization level, three types of questions are developed: Answer-Driven Question(ADQ), Personality -Fit Question(PFQ) and Understanding-Oriented Question(UOQ). These three types are fitted to the characteristic of evaluation indices. Evaluation indices consist of three evaluation domains: Mind of IT, Knowledge of IT and Application of IT. Each domain is composed of three evaluation factors and their specific items. They have cause-and-effect relation among them. We applied this evaluation system to individuals working in an informatization environment at a representative Korean motor company, and verified the application and practicality of evaluation systems through presenting the evaluation results of 18, 898 individuals. © Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg 2005.
