The purpose of this study is to investigate the effects of informational diversity-sensitive orientation on employee attitudes, focusing on the moderating effects of communication. Recently, diversity within organizations has intensified and the importance of diversity management within organizations is increasing. Diversity studies have focused on the variance of objective diversity characteristics, and have provided mixed results. In order to overcome limitations in the research, this study focuses on members' perception of diversity. To this end, the variable of informational diversity-sensitive orientation(IDSO) was used. Sample data is derived from 301 surveys of employees in firms located in South Korea. Results show that informational diversity-sensitive orientation(IDSO) had a positive effect on job satisfaction and organizational commitment. Regarding the moderating effect of communication, a positive moderating effect was exhibited only in co-worker communication, and differential influence derived from communication type. Based on the analysis results, we discuss research implications and directions for future research.

The purpose of this paper is to attempt to investigate how emotional labor strategies (i.e. surface acting and deep acting) affect job performance and turnover intention thorough emotional exhaustion. Another important objective of this study was to see whether perceived organizational support (POS) moderates the relationship between emotional labor strategies and emotional exhaustion. Structural equation modeling analysis provided support for the hypotheses from a sample of 225 China department store sales employees. The results revealed that surface acting has a positive influence on emotional exhaustion, whereas deep acting has not significant influence on emotional exhaustion. Second, emotional exhaustion has a negative influence on job performance, whereas it has a positive influence on turnover intention. In addition, the relationship between surface acting and job performance/turnover intention was significantly mediated by emotional exhaustion. Furthermore, perceived organizational supporting mitigated the negative relationship between deep acting and emotional exhaustion. The findings of this study contributed to the literature by identifying the relationship between surface and deep acting on employee outcomes (i.e. emotional exhaustion, job performance, turnover intention), especially in China. In addition, this study also confirmed the important buffering role of POS based on the norm of reciprocity between an organization and its members.

최근 들어 CRM이 확산됨에 따라 고객과의 접점에서 업무를 담당하는 콜센터의 중요성이 커지고 있으며, 정보기술이 발전함에 따라 콜센터 본연의 업무를 넘어서 콜센터에 새로운 역할이 부가되고 있다. 지금까지 콜센터에는 기계와의 커뮤니케이션에서 발생하는 거부감, 과다한 대기시간, 새로운 통신수단들로 인한 콜센터의 기능약화, 적절한 정보의 적시 사용의 어려움, 기술투자 선행작업의 미약 등의 문제점이 지적되었다. 하지만 무엇보다도 가장 큰 문제점은 명확하게 수립된 경영전략과 운영전략이 없었다는 것이다. 이에, 고객, 서비스 전략, 인적 자원, 프로세스, 정보기술 등 다섯 가지 영역으로 나누어 다른 기업과의 차별화를 달성할 수 있는 콜센터의 경영전략을 수립해야 한다. 고객의 측면에서는 만족되지 않고 있던 고객욕구를 경쟁기업보다 앞서 제공해야 하고, 서비스 전략 측면에서는 고객과의 거래비용을 줄여줄 수 있는 전략이 필요하다. 인적자원 측면에서는 보다 전문적인 서비스를 제공할 수 있는 능력을 보유한 종업원을 콜센터에 배치해야 하며, 프로세스 측면에서는 콜센터를 통해 업무창구를 일원화하는 방향으로 업무 프로세스를 리엔지니어링 해야 한다. 끝으로 정보기술 측면에서는 인터넷과 콜센터를 통합할 수 있는 방안을 모색해야 한다. 그리고 이상과 같은 경영전략 하에 구축된 콜센터의 성과를 극대화하기 위해서 필요한 8가지 운영전략을 도출하였다.

Despite the importance of the management of food and beverage, most managers in hotel and restaurant have taken little interests in the menu planning and management processing. Recently, people are more interested in what they eat and drink and thus related industries are in harsh competition. These are resulted from the newly introduced 5-work-day system and growing concerns of people on the quality of life. From these concern, the menu composition must be the critical matter. I examine the significance of the menu composition by regression analysis on two factors, i.e. satisfaction level of employees and effectiveness of work. The outcome proved the positive effect of menu composition on them. Therefore, more studies on menu composition are required.

This study is to set up a hypothesis and a research model based on how much the relational benefits can affect customer satisfaction and long-term relationship with the theoretical and practical results of established precedent researches, to analyze the structural equation model on casual dining restaurant diners, to evaluate the research model and subsequently to provide marketing implications. First of all, social and psychological factors prove to be influential among relational benefits felt by diners-out. Secondly, customer satisfaction has influence on long-term commitment for a restaurant. In other words, the higher customer satisfaction level for a restaurant is, the stronger willingness a customer has to recommend or revisit the restaurant, as several precedent studies support. As demonstrated in indirect advantages, these social and psychological benefits felt by diners-out have mighty effects on long-term relationship orientation, and satisfaction levels prove to be an important medium which can make these influences. As a result, restaurant employees' attitude toward customers is the most important factor rather than economic benefits such as reduced price, free gifts and coupons are, since customers put social and psychological benefits forward like intimate terms with restaurant workers, a sense of stability, and a relief from uneasiness. Therefore, constant service education should be done from the start to cope with customers' demands fast and flexibly and increase customer satisfaction.

This study tried to know the effect of selection attributes for chicken specialty stores on customer satisfaction and loyalty. IPA analysis on relation between the attributes and the satisfaction showed that most quality-related product attributes such as 'the taste and quality of chicken', 'proper portion', and 'fresh ingredients' had high levels of perceived importance and satisfaction. It indicates that the stores need to keep the current good quality. On the other hand, customers showed lower levels of satisfaction in 'reasonable prices', 'quick delivery'(certainty factors), and 'kindness of employees', so that those attributes need improving. The hypothesis testing showed that supplementary product factors such as 'side dishes offered with chicken', 'use of neat and convenient wrapping package', and 'coupon offers' among the customer selection attributes had a significant impact on customer satisfaction and loyalty. Therefore, the owners of chicken specialty stores need to choose a reasonable price to make customers satisfied and shorten delivery time directly related to quality. Also, they need to differentiate their services by continuous employee training and education and provide additional services in order to enhance customer satisfaction for their repurchase.
