The development of mobile social networking service (SNS) triggers the growth of social commerce industry. Customers rely considerably on electronic word of mouth (eWOM) to make purchasing decisions. Thus, SNS is an important commercial platform that offers attractive opportunities and challenges to firms. This study sheds light on the role of SNS as a social commerce platform by focusing on WeChat, the most popular SNS in China. This study identifies three different types of trust based on SNS that customers perceive in the context of social commerce. These types of trust are contents trust, source trust, and platform trust. This study suggests the antecedents and consequences of each trust. Our results prove that eWOM intention relies on contents trust and source trust, whereas purchase intention depends on contents trust, source trust, and platform trust. This study also finds that contents trust is positively influenced by source trust and platform trust. Finally, the result verifies the key antecedents of each trust, namely, vividness and timeliness for contents trust, competence, benevolence, and integrity for source trust, and instrumental need and social need for platform trust. The discussion and implications on the findings are provided.

In the recent e-learning environment, avatars are often used to help learners get familiar with the contents, which is ultimately to motivate them to study more. Therefore, it is important to investigate whether avatars have actually the desirable effect on users of e-learning materials. Surprisingly, however, no extensive study has been conducted on this crucial issue Accordingly, main objectives this study are summarized as follows. First, we need to gain better understanding of how much learners' trust towards avatars (termed as "avatar trust") is transferred to learners' trust towards e-learning contents (termed as "contents trust"). Second, we need to investigate how much learners' personal relationships with avatars as well as learning behaviors change depending on avatar types (attractive vs. professional) and contents complexity (easy vs. difficult). As described in the study objectives, in order for us to analyze empirical data more systematically, we classified avatar types into two: "attractive" and "professional;" the contents are categorized as either "easy" or "difficult." Therefore, it is essential for this study to build a prototype e-learning website on which our research purpose can be realized and tested effectively with proper avatar types and e-learning contents. For this purpose, we built a prototype e-learning website, in which avatars are invited from currently working avatar instructors used in real-world e-learning websites, and e-learning contents are adapted from real-world contents about Java programming topic, which have been proved to have shown high quality and reliability. Our research method includes questionnaire survey by inviting a number of valid respondents comprised of office workers who are believed to have high demands for the e-learning contents as well as those who have previous experience with avatar instructors. Respondents were given one of the four e-learning experiment conditions (2 avatar types x 2 contents types) on a random basis. Each experimental e-learning condition is framed to have the same quality but different avatar type and content complexity. Then the respondents are asked to fill out the survey form which has questions about avatar trust, contents trust, personal relationships with avatar, and learning behavior, among others. Regarding the constructs used in research model, we based them rigorously on previous studies. For example, we used six constructs such as behavior to give information (BGI), behavior to obtain information (BOI), need for inclusion wanted, need for control wanted, contents trust, and avatar trust. To measure them, 7-Likert scales were used in the questionnaire. E-learning performance was measured indirectly through two constructs such as BGI and BOI. Six constructs used in the research model were adopted and revised from the FIRO-B model suggested by Schutz. Empirical results are as follows: First, professional avatars are more effective for difficult contents, while attractive avatars were not as effective for easy contents. Second, our study results ascertained that avatar trust transfers to contents trust regardless of avatar types and contents complexity.

본 연구는 모바일 간편결제서비스의 품질(시스템품질, 서비스품질)이 신뢰(인지적 신뢰, 감정적 신뢰)형성에 어떤 영향을 미치며, 신뢰가 만족도에 어떤 영향을 미치는지를 파악하고자 하였다. 또한 신뢰가 만족도에 영향을 주는 과정에서 성별의 조절효과를 살펴보았다. 분석을 위해 설문조사를 실시하였으며, SmartPLS를 이용해 188개의 데이터를 분석하였다. 연구결과 시스템품질은 인지적 신뢰에 영향을 미치며, 서비스품질은 인지적 신뢰와 감정적 신뢰에 영향을 미쳤으며, 인지적 신뢰와 감정적 신뢰 모두 만족도에 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 그리고 남성은 인지적 신뢰가 만족도에 미치는 영향이 더 강하게 나타났으며, 여성은 감정적 신뢰가 만족도에 미치는 영향이 더 강하게 나타났다.

Recently, the developments in IT technology and the spread of smart phones have made Fin-Tech, which is a combination of financial services and IT technology, a big issue. In accordance with the growth trend of mobile payments in the world, all financial transactions in Korea are gradually shifting to smart phones. In fact, mobile payment system services are not widely used by users. In particular, the risk factors involved when users want to use the service are one of the factors that hinder the expansion of the usage of mobile financial payment service. The risk factors affect the trust of the mobile payment system users. Therefore, this study investigates the risk factors of the mobile payment system and the manner in which it affects a user's trust. We have also examined as how user's trust affects trust in the quality of the mobile payment system. To this end, the trust in overall quality of use was largely divided into trust in system quality, trust in information quality, and trust in service quality. Perceived finance risk, perceived performance risk, and perceived privacy risk have negative effects on cognitive trust. However, perceived time risk did not affect cognitive trust. User's cognitive trust also has an effect on trust in quality.

The importance of communities of practice(CoP) as an organizational informal unit for fostering knowledge transfer and sharing gains a lot of attention from KM researchers and practitioners. Since most of CoPs are formulated online these days, the credibility or trustworthiness of knowledge contents circulated within a certain CoP should be considered thoroughly for them to be fully utilized safely. Here comes the need for an appropriate trust measuring methodology to determine the true value of knowledge given by unknown people through an online channel. In this paper, an improved trust measuring method is proposed using new trust variables such as level of degrees derived from the relationships among community users. In addition, activeness, relevance, and usefulness of the knowledge contents themselves, which are calculated automatically using a text categorization technique, are also used for trust measurement. The proposed framework incorporates fuzzy set and calculation concepts to help build trust matrices and models, which are used to measure the level of trust involved in specific knowledge artifacts concerned.

본 연구에서는 서비스품질과 종업원신뢰, 점포신뢰 및 점포충성도 간의 경로관계를 확인하고, 서비스품질과 종업원신뢰 및 점포신뢰 간의 관계에서 서비스기업과 고객 간의 관계기간의 조절효과를 확인하였다. 본 연구는 국내 주요은행에서 서비스경험을 가진 소비자를 대상으로 자료를 수집하였으며, Amos 18.0 통계패키지를 이용한 구조방정식 모형분석으로 연구가설을 검증하였다. 연구결과는 다음과 같다. 첫째, 공감성 서비스품질 요인과 종업원신뢰 간의 관계 그리고 확신성 서비스품질요인과 점포신뢰 간의 관계에서 관계기간의 조절효과를 확인하였다. 둘째, 서비스품질은 구성차원에 따라 종업원신뢰와 점포신뢰에 영향력의 차이를 보였지만, 종업원신뢰는 점포신뢰에 영향을 미침으로써 점포충성도가 형성되었다. 결론적으로 관계가 형성된 소비자에게 서비스종업원에 대한 신뢰를 높이기 위해서는 공감성을 형성하여야 하고, 점포에 대한 신뢰를 높이기 위해서는 확신성을 제공하여야 하며, 종업원에 대한 신뢰를 형성함으로써 점포에 대한 신뢰와 충성도를 구축할 수 있음을 확인하였다.

정부가 시행하는 규제에 대한 신뢰도는 규제의 집행과 평가에 크게 영향을 미칠 수 있다. 그런데 그동안 정부 신뢰에 대한 연구는 다수 이루어졌지만, 규제에 대한 신뢰에 있어서는 연구가 이루어지지 않았다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 규제의 신뢰도에 영향을 미치는 영향 요소로 무엇이 있는지를 살펴보도록 하였다. 정부에 대한 신뢰가 규제 신뢰도에 어떠한 영향을 미치는가에 초점을 두었다. 규제 신뢰에 영향을 미치는 요소로는 학력, 규제의 이익성, 규제의 전문성, 규제의 공정성, 정부의 필요성 등이 도출되었다. 그리고 정부 신뢰는 규제 신뢰에 매개 효과의 기능을 하고 있었다. 규제에 대한 집행력, 순응력을 높이기 위해서는 규제에 대한 신뢰성을 확보하는 것이 요구된다. 이러한 규제 신뢰도를 높이기 위해서는 규제 전문성, 규제 공정성 등 규제 자체적인 사항들을 개선하는 것 외에 정부 자체에 대한 신뢰도도 증진시키는 것이 필요하다는 것을 시사한다.
