IT project is a knowledge-based project with high uncertainty in role assignment and task allocationamong team members. This study empirically investigate steam members' interactive behavior in IT projects based on the framework of social interdependence theory. The goal and task interdependencebetween team members were posited as antecedents of project performance with communication effectiveness and knowledge sharing as mediating variables. To test the research model, a dataset was collected form IT and business professional pairs of 123 IT project teams. The results indicated that the theory of social interdependence is applicable to explaining the promotive interaction in IT project teams. In detail, task interdependence appears to have influence on both promotive interactions (communication effectiveness and knowledge sharing), and goal interdependence influences only on communication effectiveness. Knowledge sharing is found to be a significant mediator between social interdependence and project performance. However, communication effectiveness only indirectly influences project performance via knowledge sharing. Academic and practical implications are discussed.

Online games are not only tools for enjoyment, they are also the linking pins connecting between the online and the offline worlds. The effects affecting other domains can be termed 'spillover'. With the process behaving as forward and reverse spillovers, there are interaction effects on online and offline behavior. However, there is little research dealing with the spillover effects from the offline to the online domain. This study concentrates on the individual behavior of online garners centering on offline dependence. With the purpose of finding the factors affecting both flow and immersion, I am interested in the moderator effect of offline dependence influencing both flow and immersion from social interaction. A research model is developed and a survey research is conducted from one of universities in Korea. The results show that flow is strongly influenced by skills, challenge, and social interaction, but immersion is only influenced by skills and social interaction and not challenge. The findings reveal that the moderating effect of offline dependence affects only the relationship from social interaction to the immersion on the lower offline dependence group.

This study evaluates citizen's willingness-to-pay for the benefits from improved water quality of the Taehwa river in Ulsan, Korea, using a contingent valuation method with double-bounded dichotomous choice. The estimation results of the bivariate probit model shows the amounts of willingness-to-pay are monthly 3,458.5 Korean Won per household and yearly 14,760 million Korean Won for total households in Ulsan, Korea. These estimates are equivalent to the social values of improved water quality of the Taehwa river. This study also tests the inter-dependence between two answers, which may occur in the responses of the questions for the double-bounded dichotomous choice, and all the null hypotheses on the inter-dependence are rejected in this study.

This study aimed to explore the ways that personal dignity of people with dementia would be maintained in their everyday experiences. To achieve the aim, this study reviewed existing qualitative studies conducted with people with dementia as individuals or couples. This study found the followings: First, capacities and power of people with dementia were embodied in their bodies and found in their behaviors, nonverbal communications, and performances of social roles as forms of interaffectivity. Second, as a subcategories of personal identity, dignity of identity of people with dementia was maintained based on their sense of self, personhood, and couplehood. Finally, for personal dignity of people with dementia, it might be important to practice their embodied capacities and power and to construct and manage the context of interdependence and relatedness through interaffectivity to maintain thier sense of self, personhood, and couplehood. Human dignity based on independence and individuality could be reconsidered in the context of interdepedence and relatedness.

This essay examines 'precarity politics' by Judith Butler, a well-known gender theorist and queer philosopher, in Notes Towards a Performative Theory of Assembly (2015) focused on concepts as unchosen cohabitation of Hannah Arendt and unwilled proximity of Emmanuel Levinas. Butler's precarity politics is the condition of our dispossessed political beings with fundamental vulnerability and interdependency that cannot choose with whom we will live on this Earth. Butler's political ethics is twofold: on one hand, she examines significance of 'action'' the most significant vita activa in the public area, and 'plurality'' the condition-not only the necessary condition but the possible condition-for a political life suggested by Hannah Arendt in Human Condition; on the other hand, Butler reflects upon global precarity based on a diasporic precarious life in the social world towards freedom and equality. Unchosen cohabitation of plural humans on Earth, and global pervasion of precarity, that indicates "politically induced condition in which certain populations suffer from failing social and economic networks of support and become differentially exposed to injury, violence, and death," so called "differential distribution of precariousness," are practical possibilities of ethical and equal cohabitation of different ethnic groups in the social world. Ethical obligations or ethical demand to respond to others' suffering in distance and proximity originated from precarity politics, mentioned in Precarious Life, Parting Ways, and Frames of War, could be non-foundational joint of plural people living together globally. We should presume the 'reversibility' of distance and proximity in others' suffering, based on responsiveness and responsibility of others, if we want to stay attuned to the pain of others we never chose to live together. That is the significance of Butler's 'precarity politics' with 'ethical obligation' to accept 'unchosen plurality' of living population on Earth, and 'reversibility between of distance and proximity,' in her 'new plural and embodied body politics' or 'new corporeal ontology', through human primary vulnerability, fundamental interdependency, being exposed and responsive to suffering of others.

Lifeline service disruptions can have significant impacts on local community in the aftermath natural disaster. Although effective restoration strategies with accurate damage assessment are required, the internal complexity of lifeline networks and their interdependency makes the understanding restoration process of lifeline systems a difficult issue. Additionally, the limitations of previous research relating the influence assessment of lifeline to community disaster resilience, highlight the need for understanding of lifeline networks. Therefore, this paper presents an agent-based model to discover emergent behavior and evaluate the interdependency and resiliency in lifeline networks. This research will provide basic guideline of resource allocation in order to mitigate cascading failures of the post disaster restoration processes.

고도의 산업화성장에 따라 도시의 기능이 지역간의 완전분리가 아닌 경제적 사회적 상호 연관성이 점점 증가하고 그 내용도 복잡하고 다양해짐에 따라 이에 대한 체계적인 분석이 필요하게 되었으며, 그에 대한 연구 또한 활발히 진행되고 있다. 그러나 기존에 연구에서 제시하고 있는 각 지역단위별로 취업자수에 대한 고용자수 비율 또는 출근통행의 유출량에 대한 유입량 비율 등의 단순지표를 이용한 지역간의 경제적 의존성을 설명하는 데는 한계가 있다고 할 수 있다. 따라서 본 연구는 지역간의 경제적 연관관계 즉 경제적 의존성을 복합적이고 표준화 할 수 있는 계량치로 추정하기 위해 두 변수 집합간의 연관성을 추정하는데 매우 유용한 분석기법인 정준상관분석 기법을 이용하여 추정하고자 하였다. 이에 수도권 72개존의 출근통행자료을 이용하여 지역간의 경제적 의존성을 측정하였으며, 각 존들로 구성된 지역간의 정준상관계수 및 각 존들의 정준가 중계수를 통해 통계적으로 정산되어진 표준화된 계수를 산출하였다. 그 결과 대존의 경우 경기도와 인천시는 각각 0.9753. 0.2968 정도의 서울에 대한 경제적 의존정도를 보이는 것으로 나타나 서울에 대한 경기도의 경제적 의존성이 높은 것으로 나타났으며, 산출된 정준가중계수를 살펴보면 분당구와 서울시의 중구는 서울에 대한 경기도의 경제적 의존성에 가장 높은 영향을 미친 것으로 나타났으며, 또한 중존에 해당되는 인천의 3개 권역, 경기의 16개 권역의 서울 5개 권역에 대한 경제적 의존성도 분석되었다.

개인의 탁월한 업적은 사회적 지위나 재산 등으로 평가되고 있지만 경영자의 경우는 자기 공헌이 조직내에서 매몰 되어 버리는 경우가 있다. 효율적인 경영자는 자기직무에 수행해 나가기 위해 혼자서 일하는 것이 아니고 조직의 구성원으로 일하지 않으면 안된다. 경영자는 조직을 약화시키는 관습들을 없애고 조직을 강화시키는 방법을 강구하여 조직구성원의 각자 상호의존성을 인식함으로써 조직의 유효한 구성원이 되어야 한다. 각 조직구성원은 조직전체의 직무과정이 원활히 수련될 수 있도록 자기 직무를 잘 인식해야 할 뿐 아니라 경영자는 조직을 강화시키는 전반적인 방법을 체득해야 할 책임을 져야한다.
