This paper aims to examine the ways in which project-based organizations (PBOs) are embedded in social networks and geographical clustering in the case of TV drama industry. PBOs refer to a variety of temporary organizational forms for the performance of tasks as to integrate diverse and specialized intellectual resources. PEOs as a flexible and innovative mode of organizing knowledge resources are becoming increasingly worthy of attention in emerging the creative economy. Evidence from interviews with core persons of PEOs like producers, directors, and writers reveals that the key operational mechanism of the project form of organization is based on the highly socialized networks via individual's reputation and past experiences. In other words, the project activity in TV drama is embedded in networks which are socially constructed. Also the geographical clustering plays an important role in PBOs and project practices in TV drama are constructed around a high degree of spatial clustering. PBOs are clustering in Kang-nam and Yeouido, where are located in independent production companies and broadcasting stations. It means that the project formation in TV drama requires geographically-clustered networks of human resources, and socially, culturally and geographically embedded latent networks of interpersonal relationships are a necessary condition of POBs in the TV drama industry.

The study was conducted by using the qualitative research method of phenomenological approach aimed at understanding the essential aspects of interpersonal phenomena as they occur in a sociocultural context. The outcomes of the study that users' perception on performance of Cultural Welfare Services is principally "a process of enabling users who have hitherto led a life devoid of meaning and values to explore the opportunities of changing the course of life by awakening their cultural sensitivity." With regard to the essence of performance, which is a higher category, the analyses have led to the following findings: "perception of 'me' within the community", "emotional stability acquired in the course of task performance", "perception of a new 'me' through community activities", "perception of 'others' face to face with me", and "exploration of opportunities for a new life".

By examining the experiences of three social economy organizations who participated in the social problem-solving R&D projects, we discuss the conditions which may encourage the participation of civil society in national R&D programs in South Korea. By calling for the inclusion of social economy organizations along with the living-lab, the social problem-solving R&D projects introduced a new type of civic participation in the national R&D programs. It is the requirement in the RFP of the social problem-solving R&D which led PIs to inviting social economy organizations into their projects. But the invites occurred rather abruptly and accidently without adequate mutual understanding between scientific experts and social economy organizations. While helping social economy organizations participate in R&D processes, this form of institutional arrangement also led them into a position in subordination to scientific experts. Social economy organizations were supposed to coordinate the living lab in the social problem-solving R&D projects which they felt familiar as an extension of what they have been doing. In contrast, they felt administrative work such as accounts following complicate administrative rules as the most unfamiliar challenge. The difference in their emphases between scientific experts and social economy organizations was also evident. Social economy organizations viewed that, while they and ordinary people are primarily interested in a practical use of the developed products or services, scientific experts tend to focus on research and development. Not only did such difference produce a friction in the R&D processes but also it had social economy organizations view the R&D projects they participated in as unsuccessful. Nevertheless, all these experiences provided a great opportunity for the social economy organizations for learning and growing as a new actor in the national R&D.

In order to achieve the results that are appropriate for the purpose of the enterprise, it is important to comprehensively understand the behaviors within the roles of the members of the organization and actions outside the roles. However, there have been relatively few studies on corporate social responsibility (CSR) among the existing studies that have been conducted to date. In particular, organizational citizenship behavior, a voluntary commitment by organizational members, is perceived as a very effective way of enhancing corporate performance, but studies on organizational citizenship behavior based on corporate social responsibility have rarely been conducted. In recent years, domestic companies have recognized social responsibility as an activity rather than an additional activity. Therefore, it is very meaningful to look at the organizational performance by examining the factors that make up this social responsibility from the perspective of the company. It is considered a task. In order to demonstrate this, this study collected 303 data from a business incubator center operated by universities and public institutions nationwide and used a total of 303 samples. As a result of the verification, the wages received by the members of the organization did not affect the organizational commitment, and the working hours and the working environment affected the organizational commitment. In addition, corporate social responsibility has an effect on organizational trust in the marketing side. Organizational commitment and organizational trust were studied to positively affect organizational citizenship behavior. In addition, this study divides the degree of perception of social responsibility of the organizational members into the high recognition group and the low recognition group and analyzed whether there is a difference in the level of organizational citizenship behavior according to the employment type (regular and irregular workers) The results of this study are as follows.
