This study aim to demonstrate and categorize the status of level of mobile information utilization of the 2030 youth generation, and to identify factors that may affect the digital divide within the generation. For this purpose, 1779 data were analyzed using materials for the 2018 digital divide survey in Korea Ministry of Science and ICT. According to the level of information utilization, the consumers were categorized into three types : reference group (46.5%), high utilization group (27.2%), and low utilization group (26.3%). There were statistically significant differences in demographics variable, consumer capabilities, living satisfaction by type of consumer. In addition, the factors influencing the digital divide of the high utilization group and low utilization group were identified compared to the reference group. It is meaningful that this study confirmed the actual gap of information utilization and raised the possibility of the digital divide within the 2030 youth generation.

This research intends to find factors to analyze users, non-users, and the relation between how many sites people use and the users' tendencies, in regards of social network services such as Facebook, Twitter, and Cyworld. The major results are as follows: firstly, the user group seems to be composed of people who are younger, have higher self-efficacy, and use smartphones, compared to the non-user group. Secondly, a single-site user group has lower motivation of 'expert search and expression' and a lower degree of personal tendency of innovation (novelty seeking and self-efficacy), compared to multiple-site user group. Thirdly, foreign SNS user groups have a higher degree of personal tendency of innovation and motivation of 'experts search and expression' than the Cyworld user group. On the other hand, the Cyworld user group seems to be affected by reference group in their use, while they have high motivation of 'connection'. In conclusion, there were significant relationships between personality and multiple SNS uses. Also, Cyworld users tended to use it for maintaining established relationships.

본 연구에서는 사회복지시설 종사사의 직무만족도 유형을 살펴보고 유형별 예측변인과의 영향관계를 검증하였다. 이러한 연구목적을 검증하기 위해 보건복지부의 '사회복지시설 실태조사'(2014년) 데이터에서 직무만족도 변인에 모두 응답한 11,660명을 최종 분석하였다. 잠재프로파일 분석결과, 사회복지사의 직무만족도 유형은 4집단으로 나타나 '최상 직무만족도집단', '중상 직무만족도집단', '중간 직무만족도집단', '최하 직무만족도집단'으로 명명하였다. 다항로지스틱 분석결과, CLASS4(최상 직무만족도집단)를 준거집단으로 하여 CLASS1(최하 직무만족도집단)과 비교해 노동강도대비 보수수준 평가, 타직종대비 보수수준 평가, 시설안전도, 인권보장도를 높게 인식할수록 CLASS4(최상 직무만족도집단)에 속할 확률이 높아지는 것으로 나타났다. 다만, 이직의사는 낮을수록 CLASS4(최상 직무만족도집단)에 속할 확률이 높아지는 것으로 나타났다. CLASS4를 준거집단으로 하여 CLASS2집단, CLASS3집단도 비교분석 하였다.

In this study, the author utilizes longitudinal data of the recent 12 years to verify whether the absolute versus relative income of old age has a significant effect on their life satisfaction of life. The findings of this study show that there is a significant difference in life satisfaction of old age according to respondents' relative income of three reference groups based on their asset quintile and residental area and education. In the correlation analysis using the cross-sectional data, the absolute and relative income level was closely related to the life satisfaction. In the panel regression analysis using the 12 years longitudinal data from the Korea National Labour Panel dataset, the income level of counterparts in those reference groups appeared highly significant in determining the level of life satisfaction of the elderly. However, some demographic variables such as age and marital status did not have a statistically significant effect in the long-term perspective. The income of reference groups in terms of asset levels, education and region as well as their own past life satisfaction level had a significant effect on the elders' life satisfaction determination. These results suggest that the relative income hypothesis in terms of life satisfaction among the elderly is more valid than the previous absolute income hypothesis.

본 연구 에서는 웹 기반 협동학습 시스템을 활용 할 경우 주관적 규범과 상호작용이 적용된 TAM모형이 필요함을 제시하고 이를 실증 분석하였다. 주관적 규범은 기술수용을 결정짓는 개인의 신념 요소인 유용성과 사용의도에 강한 긍정적 의향을 갖게 하는 변수이고, 준거집단을 통해서 행동이나 인지에 영향을 줄 수 있는 변수이다. 팀장은 팀원 및 학습자들과 의 상호작용( 협동학습을 통한 화상토론, 게시판정활동, 오프라인 정기 모임, 동영상 동시 시청)과 팀원 관리 및 운영하는 역할이기 때문에 준거집단의 준 거인이 될 수 있다. 따라서, 새로운 정보 기술 및 시스템 수용에 관한 시스템 사용 권유를 하거나, 직접 기술사용을 하는 행동은 협동합습에 참여한 학습자들에게 조금이나마 영향을 줄 수 있음을 추측 해 볼 수 있고 영향력 있는 외부변수로 가설 검증해보았다. 외부변수로서의 주관적 규범과 상호작용은 지각된 사용용이성을 제외하고 TAM의 신념 요소인 유용성, 흥미성과 사용의도에 강한 영향력을 보였다. 또한 사용의도와 유의한 관계가 있는 사용도 측정을 2가지 방법(인지적과 객관적 측도)으로 측정하였으며, 상관관계가 유의함을 함께 제시 했다.

This study investigates the determinants of strategic positional change. Specifically, the study suggests performance feedback affects to a firm's strategic repositioning. Performance feedback is a concept that a firm decides whether success or not by comparing its performance relative to its aspiration level. Prior studies successively discover diverse behaviors. The study suggests three unexplored relationships between performance gaps and strategic positioning. First, when a firm's performance is below relative to its aspiration level, that firm's strategic position will be deviate from the industry norm. Second, as the degree of industrial density increases, the tendency that a firm's strategic position becomes deviate from the industry norm decreases. Third, when the degree of reference group's performance decreases, the tendency that a firm's strategic position becomes deviate from the industry norm decreases. For empirical analysis, this study examines data of 538 firms that in North America crude petroleum and natural gas industry. The result reveals that the direction of a firm's strategic change is shaped when firms' performance is below relative to aspiration level. Also, this relationship is moderated as industrial density changes or when reference groups' performance decreases. This study contributes to the current literature by explaining how a firms' strategic position is decided. Also, this study reveals that reference groups' performance could affect to organizational choice.

The purpose of this study is to identify the effects of reference price, price rationale and price-quality inference of consumer on the evaluation of apparel quality. The experimental materials developed for this study were a set of stimulus and response sheet. The stimuli were six print ads, which was manipulated by reference price and price rationale for a jacket of national brand. This study used a 2(reference price: offer and non offer)$\times$3(price rationale: non offer, stock disposal, sales promotion) $\times$2(price-quality inference of consumer: high and low level) between-subjects experiment. Subjects were 371 female university students. The data were analyzed by factor analysis, ANOVA and t-test. The results were as follows. First, three apparel attributes were identified: sewing/fabrics and label by factor analysis. Second, the significant interaction effects of reference price, price rationale and price-quality inference of consumer were found on evaluating quality of sewing/fabrics and label of apparel. So, reference price effect differed to depending on type of price rationale and levels of price-quality inference. Third, the significant main effect of price-quality inference of consumer existed on evaluating construction quality of apparel.
