This research examined (1) the effects of the large scaled corporations' performances in the area of corporate economic responsibilities and corporate philanthropic responsibilities on the anti-corporate sentiments and (2) the effects of the anti-corporate sentiments on the consumers' evaluations of the large scaled corporations. The results of path analysis revealed that the corporate performances in philanthropic responsibilities had a negative effect on the anti-corporate sentiments as expected. However, different from the expectation, the corporate performances in economic responsibilities had a positive influence on the anti-corporate sentiments. This unexpected relationship between economic responsibilities and anti-corporate sentiments might be caused by the Korean consumers' perceptions that the more the large scaled corporations conducted their business activities illegally and unethically, that the more they achieved the various economic responsibilities. The anti-corporate sentiments showed the negative effects on the consumers' evaluations of the large scaled corporations.

The results of the present study on corporate social responsibility activities have different results for each researcher. This is considered to be the influence of the moderated variables depending on the relations among the variables. The purpose of this study is to propose anti-corporate emotion as a variable to moderate the relationship between social responsibility activities and outcome variables and to investigate its influence. The results and implications are as follows. Ethical responsibility activities and discretionary responsibility activities had effects on corporate attitude and corporate attitude affects consumers' purchase intention. This is consistent with many previous studies, which means that it is necessary to create a positive psychology for a firm or product in order to induce consumer behavior. In addition, in the group with high anti-corporate emotions, the effect is not significant even if the company has a lot of discretionary activities, but if the ethical responsibility is done, the negative attitude toward the company can be alleviated even if the anti- corporate emotion is high. This explains why many companies now have social contribution activities as an alternative to reduce the corporate crisis, but the effect is insufficient. Therefore, companies that want to carry out social responsibility activities should be interested first in the ethical management or ethical responsibility activities of companies.

키르기즈스탄은 옛 실크로드의 한 가운데에 위치한 중앙아시아 국가로서 소련연방이 해체된 뒤 1991년에 독립한 신독립국(Newly Independent States, NIS)의 일원이다. 대한민국과의 공식적인 수교가 1992년에 이루어진 이후 18년이 지났지만 키르기즈스탄 거주 한국인의 숫자는 약 900명에 불과하며 특히 이들 중 대부분은 수도인 비쉬켁(Bishkek)에 살고 있다. 남 키르기즈스탄 제 1의 도시이자 옛 실크로드의 중심지로 유명했던 오쉬(Osh)시에는 2009년 말 기준 약 50여명의 한국인이 살고 있다. 한국얼굴기형환자후원회의 후원으로 구순구개열 자선수술팀은 2002년~2009년까지 11개국, 19회의 자선수술 활동을 다녀왔으나 중앙아시아 국가로의 방문은 키르기즈스탄이 최초였다. 많은 봉사활동국에서 지역적, 문화적 그리고 의료환경적인 어려움이 있었지만 2008년 12월, 2009년 7월 두 번의 키르기즈스탄 오쉬시로의 활동도 예외는 아니었다. 본 논문에서는 최초의 중앙아시아 키르기즈스탄 구순구개열 자선봉사활동에 대한 자세한 보고를, 준비과정에서부터 활동 완료시점까지 서술하고자 한다.
