Under ubiquitous work environment, innovative changes occur in work process with ICT. The work process for collaboration through mobile devices and network should be investigated. The research model consists of two major antecedents: autonomy and interdependence as a task characteristic and job satisfaction as ultimate consequence followed by work design theory. To elaborate work design theory, smartwork application (app) use, communication extent, and work-life balance were reviewed from the literature. Data were collected from three ICT firms, which adopted certain smartwork app, and a partial least squares analysis was made on 175 data points. The analysis results show that task interdependence exerts a statistically significant effect on the level of smartwork app usage. Communication extent directly affects job satisfaction and work-life balance. The remarkable point is that smartwork app usage does not affect employees' work-life balance; the former can only affect the latter indirectly by increasing communication extent. This study attempts to explain the organizational impact by considering smartwork app and the effects simultaneously. We proposed and empirically tested the extended work design theory including information technology and its environment. Based on the results, other theoretical and practical contributions are discussed at the end with limitations and further studies.

The purpose of this study is to survey startup founders within 7 years of founding the importance and satisfaction of the components of the scale-up entrepreneurial ecosystem at the national level in Korea and analyze the direction of scale-up policy by component using IPA (importance-performance analysis). Since the perception of founders, who are the subjects of the entrepreneurial ecosystem, affects the quantity and quality of start-ups, research is needed to analyze and diagnose the perception of scale-up components. For the development of the national economy and entrepreneurial ecosystem, companies that emerge from startups to scale-up and unicorns must be produced, and for this, elements for the scale-up entrepreneurial ecosystem are needed. The results of this study are as follows. First, the importance ranking of the components of the scale-up entrepreneurial ecosystem recognized by founders was in the order of "Financial support by growth stage," "Support for customized scale-up for enterprises," "Improvement of regulations," "Funds dedicated to scale-up," "large-scale investment," and "nurturing technical talents." Second, the factors that should be intensively improved in the importance-satisfaction matrix in the future were 'Pan-Government Integration Promotion Plan', 'Scale-Up Specialized Organization Operation', 'Company Customized Scale-Up Support', 'Regulatory Improvement', and 'Building a Korean Scale-Up Model'. As a result, various and large financial capital for the scale-up entrepreneurial ecosystem, diversification of scale-up programs by business sector, linkage of start-ups and scale-up support, deregulation of new technologies and new industries, strengthening corporate-tailored scale-up growth capabilities, and providing overseas networking opportunities can be derived. In addition, it is expected to contribute to policy practice and academic work with research that derives the components of the domestic scale-up entrepreneurial ecosystem and diagnoses its perception.

Service innovation is one means of gaining an advantage in a highly competitive environment. Although numerous studies have stressed the importance of service innovation, traditional good-dominant logic is still used in service innovation literature. Furthermore, few studies have been conducted on the link between service innovation and its antecedents in terms of service-oriented approach. To fill the gap, this article theoretically and empirically examines service innovation and its antecedents and consequences. Based on service-dominant logic and resource advantage theory, the current study aims to understand the effect of antecedents on service innovation as well as to identify the effect of service innovation on firm performance (i.e., non-financial and financial performance). Three service innovation activities, namely service creation-focused innovation, service delivery-focused innovation, and customer interaction-focused innovation, and four antecedents of service innovation, including human resource management capability, collaboration capability, marketing capability, and information technology capability, are identified based on Den Hertog (2000)'s service innovation framework. By using the empirical data collected from 189 service firms in Korea, this study explores the causal relationship among antecedents, service innovation and firm performance. Findings indicate that human resource management and marketing capabilities influence the three types of service innovation, whereas collaboration and information technology capabilities have a significant effect on both service creation-focused innovation and service delivery-focused innovation. In particular, human resource management capability is strongly related to customer interaction-focused innovation. The three types of service innovation have a positive influence on non-financial performance, whereas service delivery-focused innovation and customer interaction-focused innovation positively influence financial performance. These results support the crucial effects of antecedents, such as human resource management, collaboration, marketing and information technology capabilities, on service innovation.

This study attempted to test not only the influence of transformational leadership(TFL) on employees' unethical pro-organizational behavior(UPB), but also the mediating effect of organizational identification(OID) between TFL and employees' UPB. This study employed two research methods: literature review and empirical testing of the developed hypotheses. Data were collected through online questionnaire instruments from 229 employees working at companies in Korea. To test the hypotheses, structural equation modeling was employed. The model is shown as adequately fitting to the data. The results showed that there was not a positive and statistically significant relationship between TFL and employees' UPB, and OID played as a mediator in the relationship between TFL and employees' UPB. These findings provide a meaningful implication that the positive impact of TFL is linked to employees' UPB through OID.

The Information Security Management System (ISMS) is a protection procedure and process that keeps information assets confidential, flawless, and available at any time. ISMS-P in Korea and ISO/IEC 27001 overseas are the most representative ISMS certification systems. In this paper, in order to understand the relationship between ISMS certification and organizational characteristics, data were collected from Korea Internet & Security Agency (KISA), Ministry of Science and ICT, Information Security Disclosure System (ISDS), Financial Supervisory Service, Data Analysis, Retrieval and Transfer System (DART), and probit regression analysis was performed. In the probit analysis, the relationship with four independent variables was confirmed for three cases: ISMS-P acquisition, ISO/IEC 27001 acquisition, and both ISMS-P and ISO/IEC 27001 acquisition. As a result of the analysis, it was found that companies that acquired both ISMS-P and ISO/IEC 27001 had a positive correlation with the total number of employees and a negative correlation with business history. In addition, the improvement direction of the ISMS-P certification system and information security disclosure system could also be confirmed.

South Korea has been reluctant to open its geospatial information overseas to ensure security as a divided country. However, this cannot continue as the domestic and international environments related to geospatial information and the industrial ecosystem of information and communication technologies have been changing dramatically. Within this context, this study aims to analyze the causal relations among relevant variables and how they change and interact with time using a systems thinking process. First, causal maps were created for the domains of national security, map-based convergence service, and corporate competition. Then, the causal maps for each domain were integrated, based on which the points for policy intervention and dominant feedback loops were identified. The analysis results showed that securing the self-sufficiency of domestic geospatial businesses is a key element to determine the whole causal map, and the variable that changes the dominant feedback loop from a vicious circle to a virtuous one is the decision to open geospatial information overseas. In this study, I found the policy leverage that is a policy intervention point that can produce a great effect with little input by building a causal map of the interactions between major variables. This study is significant in that it identified and analyzed the dominant feedback loop as to which causal structure would dominate the system in the long term. The results of this study can be used to discuss not only the impacts of map data overseas opening on the national security and geospatial information industry, but also the interactions in the future when Google or other global companies request to release the geospatial information.

This research measured the current working conditions and workers' awareness of their working conditions in both information technology industry and non-information technology industry. Furthermore, the research analyzed the characteristics of pertaining industries and age, sex, and job status of the workers to diagnose the current status of the working conditions and awareness of domestic workers in information technology industry in Korea. The purpose of this research is to provide the necessary data to establish the policy that guides ramifications to the current problems to restore the fame that Korea earned as one of the top information technology countries, and that requires a thorough paired comparison analysis between the information technology industries. The paired comparison analysis indicated that the information technology industries generally have had much worse working conditions than non-information technology industries. This research also verified that information technology industries have scored low on the satisfaction to the average working hours, employee welfare, social perception by other industries, the degree of anxiety, and the growth potential compared to the non information technology industries. Data collected during this research is meaningful in a sense that it provides basic yet crucial information that encourages the policies that are in favor of information technology employees to be adopted. The fact that there is a tacit skepticism in improvement of working conditions among the information technology workers supports the adoption of better policies that will improve not only working conditions but also find the solutions to eliminate the sources of insecurity of the retirement in information technology industry.

최근 기후변화로 인해 지구촌 곳곳은 이전에 경험하지 못한 극한 홍수재해로 몸살을 앓고 있다. 2011년 태국에서는 짜오프라야강 범람으로 국토의 70% 이상이 침수되었고, 2013년 인도 북부지역에서는 갠지스강 및 지류의 범람, 산사태, 가옥붕괴 등으로 1,000여명이 숨지고 관광객 및 순례객 7만여명의 발이 묶이는 피해가 발생하였으며, 2014년 발칸반도에서는 120년만의 폭우로 인하여 30여명이 사망하고 100만명의 이재민이 발생하였다. 국내의 경우 2011년 수도권을 중심으로 하루에 300mm가 넘는 기록적 호우가 쏟아지면서 주택과 도로의 침수, 산사태 등으로 많은 인명 및 재산피해가 발생하였다. 또한 2014년 8월 경남 부산지역에는 시간당 130mm가 넘는 국지성 호우에 따른 산사태, 침수 등으로 도심기능이 마비되는 피해가 발생하기도 하였다. 이처럼 대부분의 자연재난은 태풍 및 집중호우 등 물재해로 발생하고 있으며, 국내의 경우 2012년 전체 자연재난의 95.6%, 2013년 전체 자연재난의 93%를 물재해가 차지하였다. 이에 구조적 비구조적 홍수 재해 저감대책 수립 및 시행 등 지속적인 물관리 노력으로 대하천에서 발생하는 홍수피해는 크게 감소하였으나, 지자체를 중심으로 운영 관리되고 있는 중소하천에서의 피해는 오히려 점차 증가하고 있다. 조사에 따르면 최근 5년간(2007~2011) 홍수피해의 98% 이상이 중소하천을 중심으로 발생한 것으로 발표된 바 있다. 특히 지자체의 경우 전문인력 및 기술력 부족, 열악한 재정 등으로 피해가 반복되고 있는 실정이다. 이에 따라 중소하천과 같이 소외된 지역의 물복지 향상을 위해서는 홍수재해 상황에 신속하고 효과적으로 대응하기 위한 과학적 체계적인 선진 홍수재해 관리체계의 구축이 요구되는 바이다. 이에 물관리 전문기관인 K-water에서는 지난 2010년부터 ICT기반의 우수한 물관리 기술력과 홍수대응 Know-How를 활용하여 '지자체 맞춤형 홍수재해관리시스템' 구축을 지원하고 있다. 본 시스템은 상 하류의 다양한 재난 정보를 수집 통합하고, 수집된 정보를 활용한 홍수분석을 통해 예방적 재난대응 체계를 구축하는 것으로, K-water는 지난 2010년 남원시를 시작으로 무주군, 군산시, 진안군 등의 시스템 구축을 지원하고 있다. 재난은 복구보다 예방이 우선되어야 함은 모두 다 아는 사실이지만 예산문제 등으로 항상 소 잃고 외양간 고치는 일이 아직까지 반복되고 있다. K-water는 물관리 전문 공기업으로써의 역할을 다하고, 예방 위주의 재난관리 체계 마련을 위해 '지자체 맞춤형 홍수재해관리시스템' 구축 지원을 지속적으로 확대해 나갈 것이다.
