This study which was started to identify the factors that change the security level of
military organizations, analyzed the data collected from articles written by the active officers
in the Defense Daily Journal hoping to improve the military security level by the qualitative
research method called Grounded Theory, and establish causal relationship how organizational
members respond to insider security threats.
As a result of the analysis, the causal condition is ‘the security threat of the insider’, the
contextual condition is ‘the specificity of the military organization’, the central phenomenon
is ‘the conflict of values as a soldier’, the arbitrary condition is ‘the security consciousness’,
Strategy is ‘the responds to security threats’, and the result was ‘security level change’. The
core categories can be presented as ‘the degree of conflict of values on insider security
threats’ and two hypotheses have been derived.
First, the members of the military organization strongly felt the conflict of values about
security threat as the tendency to emphasize security was strong, and they helped to develop
the security level of organization by responding strongly. Second, the stronger the tendency
to focus on colleagues, respond weakly to security threats. And it undermines the security
level of the organization.
Finally, in order to improve the security level of the organization, it is necessary to
establish a solid security consciousness and to make institutional development to support it.
