The Korean government has done annual fact-finding surveys on the use of e-government since 2007, but put little effort to analyse and draw implications. We analyzed the trend of the use of e-government in Korea using the survey results of 2012~2015. While the awareness and the user uptake of e-government in Korea have increased steadily, the relative portion and frequency of the use stagnates and falls back. Korean citizens still utilize in-person channel more than e-government channels, and the speed of the transfer from the former to the latter is not fast enough. While more than 95% of the Korean people intend to use the e-government as the main channel in the future, their actual rate of use was 43.2%. We suggest following measures to overcome the troubling situation and increase the uptake of e-government services in Korea through: the expansion of mobile e-government services, strengthening of seamless services, elevation of the level of customization, increasing frequency of using the current e-government services, and raise of the awareness level and the improvement of Korean E-Government Portal.

Purpose - This study expands the corporate social responsibility (CSR) model and concepts by adding to it the concepts of corporate identity and public existence responsibility. Then, this study examines the structural relationship between corporate identity and public existence responsibility. This study contributes to expanding CSR to give customers a different perspective from previous studies in that it specifically measures corporate public existence responsibility, corporate identity, and corporate value creation and investigates the structural relationship. Research design, data, and methodology - This study addresses specific research questions. First, it asks whether non-financial performance is a component of CSR; second, it asks if the improvement in the corporate image should be treated as its corporate identity; and third, it tries to expand CSR concepts from corporate citizenship and public market awareness to public existence responsibility. The research hypothesis is formulated to confirm the relationships among CSR, corporate value creation, corporate identity, and public existence responsibility. Result - This study confirms that CSR has a positive correlation with corporate value creation and that CSR has a relatively positive correlation with corporate identity and public existence responsibility. Additionally, it confirms a positive correlation between corporate identity and public existence responsibility. However, corporate identity and public existence responsibility do not have an effect on corporate value creation. However, the influence of public existence responsibility confirmed the influence of corporate value creation through corporate identity as a mediating variable. Conclusion - This study argues that CSR produces more general performance including both financial and non-financial performance. It also confirms that the goals and performance of CSR can substitute for corporate value creation from general performance. It further confirms that public existence responsibility includes market public awareness, corporate images, and corporate associations. It suggests that corporations should see themselves as having public existence responsibility. Further, they should devise strategies to build corporate identities that associate with corporate goals and visions. Finally, this study contributes to the expansion of perspectives on CSR theoretical concepts and goals of performance of the corporation throughout the corporate value creation process.
