This study aims to investigate the effect of college choice factors on withdrawal intention of first-year undergraduates in STEM majors. The data for this study were collected from a national sample of 4-year institutions that participated in Collegiate Longitudinal Study funded by the National Research Foundation of Korea during 2013-2014. The data included 1,484 students in STEM majors from 30 institutions, and this study used bivariate and multivariate analytic methods to answer the research questions. This study found that while the internal dimensions of college choice showed a negative effect on the intention to dropout, external dimensions of college choice such as college environment, financial accessibility, admission possibility had a positive effect on the intention. The findings indicate that it is necessary to pay attention to college choice for enrollment management to prevent first-year undergraduates in STEM majors from dropping out.

Purpose - This research approaches to the new niche market of medical tourism to investigate how factors of cultural similarity influence the international distribution management. This study also estimates the interaction effects of distribution channel on the relationships of facility attributes and customers' destination choice behavior. Research design, data, and methodology - We collected the sample of 881 potential customers from the more economically developed regions in China. Regression analysis is used to confirm the relationships in the research model. Results - The result shows that cultural similarity plays an important moderating role in the relationships of facility attributes and destination choice intention. For instance, power distance and masculinity interact with the distribution facility characteristics of medical quality and reputation to influence customers' selection of the destination country. Individualism, powder distance, and masculinity play moderating roles when social environment affects destination choice intention. Especially, all the elements of cultural similarity moderate the relationships between travel cost and destination choice intention. This research also proves that depending on distribution channel, determinants of distribution facility are the critical predictors of intention to select the medical service outside of China. Conclusions - The study enables managers to develop the more effective strategies reflecting the interaction effects of cultural similarity and distribution channel on customers' decision-making process.

예술분야로서의 뮤지컬과 종교에서 다루는 뮤지컬은 다소 다른 측면을 가질 수 있다. 본 연구는 이러한 점에 착안하여 기독교세계관을 기반으로 하는 기독교뮤지컬의 선택속성을 중심으로 연구모형을 설계하였고, 연구의 목적을 달성하기 위한 실증분석을 진행하였다. 본 연구를 통해 나타난 결과는 첫째, 선택속성과 관람만족 간에 유의한 영향관계가 존재한다. 둘째, 관람만족과 관람 후 행동의도, 특히 구전 의도에 높은 수준의 설명력을 가지고 있는 것으로 분석되었다. 나아가 기독교뮤지컬의 선택속성이 관람만족의 과정을 거치치 않고도 직접적으로 구전의도 및 재관람 행동 의도에 정(+)의 영향을 미치고 있으며, 구전의도에는 작품의 명성과 작품성이, 그리고 재관람 의도에는 작품의 명성과 공연장소가 정(+)의 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구가 기독교뮤지컬의 관련변수를 중심으로 연구를 진행한 점에서는 연구의 의의가 높지만, 향후 연구에서는 비기독교인의 분포를 높이고, 변수 간을 매개, 혹은 조절하는 변수를 추가로 구성하는 시도가 필요할 것으로 보인다.

This study investigated the correlations of five constructs - health concerns, healthy eating practices and attitudes, food choice motives, attitudes toward organic foods - in the formation of behavioral to the purchasing intentions of organic foods. An instrument encompassing health perception, attitudes, habits and personal traits was developed through the comprehensive reviews of the literature and the assured validity and internal reliability of the contents. The questionnaire was administered to the students of three universities at Daegu, Kyungpook province. A total of 288 questionnaires were collected for a response rate of 96.0%. The correlations of five constructs and purchasing intention were tested simultaneously using structural equation modeling. Healthy eating practices and attitudes toward organic foods were found to be the determinants which directly influence the intention to purchase organic foods. Health concerns didn't show direct relation to the purchasing intention of organic foods. The hypothesized path from the health concerns to the purchasing intentions was not supported. The results indicated that food choice motives and healthy eating attitudes should be managed to achieve higher behavioral intention to purchase organic foods.
