Measuring personal information competency for organizational computing

A measurement model for personal information competency was developed to measure individual information competency in an enterprise of the information environment. The model measures the requirements of information technology knowledge, the capability of information application, the potential for individual information capability, and information mindset with four measurement domains extracted from the components of competency. The questionnaire survey for measurement items of the developed model was obtained from people with considerable experience in a variety of industries and management levels. The validity and reliability of the developed model construct was verified by factor analysis and reliability analysis through the application of SPSS software. The developed model can be applied to measure personal information competency efficiently, and it will contribute to developing total measurement alternatives for personal information competency in a company of information environment.
