This study examined the effects of value-in-behavior toward pro-social consumption behavior on consumers' pro-social practices and the moderating effects of consumer's social capital based on trust and reciprocity that enhances collective actions to seek socially common values. The result showed that the value-in-behavior toward pro-social consumption was positive in general, and altruistic value was the highest, followed by emotional value, social value, and functional value. The pro-social behaviors of age groups were significantly different. In all pro-social behaviors, the older group was more active, except for the rejection of the unfair business. The result also showed that the functional value and emotional value have significant effects on consumer's pro-social practices. The interaction effects between trust and emotional value and between reciprocity and functional value were significant. Based on these results, the theoretical and practical implications for facilitating the transition to the direction of consumer's role in making positive social impacts.

The purpose of this study was to identify employees' perception of social and economic values that social enterprises pursue and to provide implications for the training of social enterprise workers. The main results are as follows. First, more than half of the social enterprise workers recognized that economic value and social value were equally important. In addition, the responsibilities of realizing corporate social values were somewhat higher than those of employees. The social value of the social enterprise should be pursued in preference to the value for the company and its members. However, efforts to set goals for the social value of social enterprises were lacking. Second, social enterprise workers generally had a high perception of economic value and recognized that the responsibility and effort of management was more important than the employees in order to realize economic value. Third, the higher the age of workers, the higher the importance of social value than economic value, emphasized the responsibility of the manager, and the less the work experience, the more important is the social value and the manager's responsibility. While commercial enterprise workers are highly aware of the importance of economic value, non-profit enterprise workers are highly aware of the importance of social value. In the future, it will be necessary to provide an educational support program that allows workers to recognize the social and economic value of social enterprises in a balanced manner. Efforts are needed to develop, monitor and monitor standardized measures for measuring the value of social enterprises.

This study introduces the mediating role of social worker's emotional labor in the relationship between person-social welfare value fit and job-related psychological attitudes. This study characterizes emotional labor as surface acting and deep acting, and job-related psychological attitudes as job satisfaction and organizational commitment. This study hypothesizes that the social worker's person-social welfare value fit raises job satisfaction and organizational commitment, that social worker's surface acting negatively mediates the relationship between social welfare value fit and psychological attitudes, and that deep acting positively mediates the relationship. The results from this study are as follows. Firstly, social worker's person-social welfare value fit raises job satisfaction and organizational commitment. Secondly, social worker's surface acting fully mediates the relationship between social welfare value fit and organizational commitment. Thirdly, deep acting fully mediates the relationship between social welfare value fit and job satisfaction, and social welfare value fit and organizational commitment. Based on these results, detailed practical and theoretical implications are discussed.

This study aims to compare the awareness of the social value of public libraries between users and non-users to materialize the abstract concept of social value and, thereby, to present measures that can be applied to the library field. For this purpose, a survey was conducted in person or online for 15 days from May 7, 2023, targeting Paju citizens. Frequency analysis, factor analysis, independent samples t-test, and one-way analysis of variance were conducted on 206 valid response copies using SPSS 25.0. In the results, it is shown that, first, for awareness of the social value of public libraries according to socio-demographic characteristics, there were significant differences depending on age, with in particular, awareness among those in their 10s and 40s being higher than other age groups. For awareness of community development, the awareness of the female group was higher than that of the male group, while, for the awareness according to occupation, it is shown that awareness was highest in the following order: student, others, housewife, self-employed, and office worker. Second, for the awareness of the social value of public libraries, the awareness of the user group was higher than that of the non-user group in all areas. Third, for awareness of the social value of public libraries according to the level of library use, there was no significant difference between groups. In conclusion, it is suggested that measures to encourage non-users to become users, develop new content and services targeting male group and those in their 60s, and 20s, and strengthen community activities are needed to raise awareness of the social value of Paju City public libraries in the future.

This article is concerned with the values of the BICOF in terms of the urban revitalization. The values of the BICOF cover the economic value, social value, cultural value and city image value. The 13 indicators for measuring the values of the BICOF are developed. The article examined how the related stakeholders identified the BICOF's values on the Bucheon City by using AHP method. In addition, the objectives and programmes of the BICOF are analyzed in the perspective of the urban revitalization. As a result, the recognition of the BICOF's values varied according to the stakeholders. In addition, the result of AHP analysis indicates that the cultural values and image values should have priorities in comparison with the social values and economic values. This recognitions is different from the recent formal statements that BICOF's economic values should be emphasized as a priority. The article concludes that the identity of the BICOF should be established in the base of building the value consensus among the related stakeholders.

The study identified 1,500 adult consumers aged 25-54 years with life insurance within the last year as three groups, top, middle and bottom of need recognition, and demonstrated differences in insurance and finance perception and socioeconomic value perception. In particular, the study sought to identify the influence of socioeconomic value recognition factors in addition to overall recognition factors related to insurance and finance, the number of insurance held and insurance satisfaction. Overall recognition factors related to insurance and finance were classified as 'recognition of insurance as a means of professional management and finance', 'self-directed insurance design and contract' and 'recognition of economic burden on insurance'. Socioeconomic value recognition factors were divided into 'socioeconomic self-sufficiency', 'work-life value pursuit' and 'economic value pursuit'. We identified factors that affect the recognition of a higher need for insurance needs as a higher recognition of need for insurance needs. In particular, the most influential factor for the median group was the recognition of insurance as a professional management asset-tech product, and the upper group was found to be a work-life balance factor. The second influential factor was self-directed insurance design and contract factors for both groups. In order to increase the rate of insurance subscription in the future, insurance should be recognized as an essential product to pursue work-life value, and continuous improvement in information exploration conditions for consumers to explore information and compare products will be important to revitalize the insurance market.

오래전부터 물은 누구나 사용할 수 있는 자유재로 인식되었지만, 산업혁명 이후 폭발적으로 증가하는 인구와 환경오염 문제로 인해 인류가 사용할 수 있는 수자원이 그 수요에 비해 공급이 줄어들었으며, 이로 인해 자유재로 인식되어 왔던 수자원은 점차 그 가치를 매기는 경제재로 인식이 바뀌고 있다. 하지만 다른 경제재와 다르게 자연자원인 수자원은 환경재, 공공재라는 인식이 강하고, 더불어 공급의 불확실성으로 인해 일반적인 시장경제가 적용되기 어렵고 경제적 가치를 산정하기가 쉽지 않다. 이에 최근 수자원 전문가들은 공급이 한정된 수자원을 효율적이고 합리적으로 배분하기 위해 수자원의 경제적 가치를 산정하는 연구를 진행하고 있다. 예를 들어, 미국 캘리포니아주의 경우 수자원의 용도별, 지역별 경제적 가치를 산정하여 이를 용수배분에 적용한 CALVIN모형(CALifornia Value Integrated Network)을 개발하여 실제 주정부의 수자원 활용계획에 적용한 사례가 있다. 우리나라의 경우 구체적으로 수자원의 용도별, 지역별 경제적 가치를 산정하고, 이를 실제 물 배분 계획에 적용한 사례는 드문 상황이다. 본 연구에서는 국내 실정에 맞는 수자원의 용도별 경제적 가치를 추정하고 편익함수를 산정하는 방안을 연구하였다. 수자원의 용도를 생활, 공업, 농업, 하천유지 용수 등 네 가지로 구분하여 각 용도별로 용수의 경제적 편익을 분석하고 이를 토대로 용수별 편익함수와 경제적 가치를 산정하는 방안을 제시하였다. 본 연구를 통해 제시될 수자원의 용도별 편익함수는 향후 개발예정인 수자원-경제통합 물 배분 모형에 적용될 것이며, 나아가 수자원의 효율적인 배분 계획 및 정책 마련에 기여할 수 있을 것이다.

The public perceptions about the cause of the poverty are generally considered as the important subject because they are assumed to have profound influences on the anti-poverty strategies, the features of the welfare system, and the welfare politics. Yet, there have been few studies on the public perceptions about attributions for poverty in Korea. In this article, we explore the popular perceptions about the causes of the poverty and investigate the determinants of the various beliefs about the causes of the poverty in Korea. The data derive from the Welfare Attitudes data of the 8th Korea Welfare Panel Survey. The results indicates that Koreans are more likely to support the individualistic explanations on the causes of the poverty than the structural and the fatalistic explanations. The results of regression model analysis show that there are differences in the determinants of the three types of poverty explanations, but subjective variables have the strong effects on all of the poverty explanations in Korea. In this study we find that Koreans are more likely than the western european welfare states to endorse individualistic explanations. These findings suggest that the underdevelopment of the welfare system in Korea is assumed to have the connection with the popular individualistic explanations. And, they suggest that there are needed to have notices to changing the public perceptions of the poverty and the cultural context of the social welfare in order to advance the welfare state in Korea.
