서비스접점에서는 종업원의 고객 응대 태도가 무엇보다 중요하고 이를 위해서 종업원의 행동을 긍정적으로 동기부여 시키는 것은 관리자의 입장에서 아주 중요한 과제이다. 본 연구는 종업원의 친사회적 행동을 증대시킬 수 있는 요인으로 상사에 대한 신뢰와 상사의 감사표현을 제안하고 그 효과를 규명하고자 하였다. 위계적 회귀분석을 사용하였고 결과 및 시사점은 다음과 같다. 첫째, 상사에 대한 신뢰는 종업원의 열정 또는 열의를 향상시킬 수 있는 요인으로 나타났다. 둘째, 직무열정은 서비스 종업원의 친사회적 행동인 고객 지향적 행동과 조직시민행동에 유의한 정의 영향을 미치는 것으로 확인되었다. 마지막으로, 상사에 대한 신뢰와 직무열정 간의 관계에서 상사의 감사표현의 조절효과를 확인하였다. 서비스 연구에서 감사 또는 감사표현에 대한 연구는 많지 않고 진행된 연구들도 기업과 소비자 관계에 초점을 두고 있다. 감사를 표현하는 것은 자연스러운 경향일 수 있다. 본 연구는 조직문화의 일부분으로 감사를 도입할 필요가 있음을 제안하고자 한다.

본 연구의 목적은 고객의 정보참여행동 중 대표적 행동유형인 구전과 협조를 중심으로 참여유형의 결정요인과 구전과 협조간의 단계적 행동경로의 관계, 그리고 행동단계의 촉진변수에 대하여 살펴보았다. 구전은 대고객시민행동, 만족, 몰입의 선행요건에 의해 영향을 받는 것으로 나타났다. 반면 협조는 구전의 선행요건의 영향을 받기 보다는 구전의 영향을 받는 것으로 나타났다. 만족, 몰입 등의 관계적 선행요건이 정보참여행동에 중요한 전제요건이기는 하지만 보다 적극적인 정보참여유형을 결정하진 않았다. 구전과 협조간의 참여수준 이행에 대한 분석은 경쟁모델 비교분석을 통해 구전에서 협조로의 참여수준이행이 확인되었고, 관여는 참여수준을 조절하는 촉진변수의 역할을 하였다.

The purpose of this study is to examine the role of virtual community participation and engagement in the brand decision by building community and brand trust. In this study, two theories (Social Capital Theory and Theory of Collective Action) were tested. Both theories were linked based on existing literature, and empirical evidence was obtained through testing hypotheses. Students from five prestigious Pakistani business schools provided a total of 849 replies. The measurement model and structural model were both analyzed using the partial least square (PLS) method. The findings show that virtual community engagement and participation have a positive and significant impact on virtual community trust. Although virtual community engagement has a positive effect on brand trust, we found no evidence of a link between virtual community participation and brand trust. Later, these trusts positively influence brand choice. This study has several managerial implications. The suggested model of this study helps managers to get customers' insight, choose the right target market, and set integrated marketing communication strategies besides social media marketing strategies. The study represents a new perspective of consumer behavior that helps to understand how a customer behaves in virtual communities to trust and take the final decision to purchase.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the effects of the locomotion orientation on salespeople' sales performance with the mediating effect of selling behavior(adaptive selling behavior, SOCO). And we figure out the relationship between customer-oriented selling behavior and adaptive selling behavior because those relationships are not clear. The authors infer research hypotheses based on literature review. We have confirmed the reliability and validity test and those results can be acceptable. Hypotheses test were conducted with structural equation modeling, AMOS. All paths in the research model reasoned by authors have been supported statistically at the significant level. This study with the theoretical implications is as follows. First, this study is the first attempt to investigate the path between locomotion orientation and adaptive selling behavior and SOCO. Secondly, there is an empirical conflict between our study and Franke and Park(2006)'s study. Our study was contradictory to Franke and Park(2006)'s consequences. And so, figuring out clearly those causal paths remains. This study with practical implications are as follows. First of all, the salespeople' selling performance was affected by adaptive selling behavior, customer-oriented selling behavior, and sales-oriented activities, such as the importance of selling behavior once again proven. It is necessary to enhance the capabilities that can be transformed into action appropriate to the needs of customers each sales step-by-step in the process of salespeople for various system through education and incentives, and to interact with customers and understand their customers relative to salespeople will. In order to enhance adaptive selling behavior, the company needs to do educational program and monitoring system with the positional promotion when salespeople get the high adaptive selling behavior. Secondly, the locomotion orientation of the salespeople is to cause this selling behavior. Management style to increase locomotion orientation is needed, which means, salespeople' superior about something should be conducted. In order to stimulate the selling behavior of the salespeople, most supervisors should use some managerial tools such as feedback, engagement, and rewards.
