  • In 2013, the small retailer organized support service, which commenced in 2009, has been expanding its place in the policy by transforming into a small retailer cooperating support service. This support service supports two main sides. One of them is strengthening the financial aspects of the scale by organizing the small retailers in order to make the distribution efficient. The second is improving the management and enhancing the efficiency through visitation education. This research focuses on studying the effects of the visitation education which is one of the two aspects of small retailers support service.

In order to do this, we conducted a satisfaction survey(4,263 persons) of 5,939 people who participated in the prevention education conducted by group education or e-learning in 2017. Finally we collected 4,237 effective responses data. Descriptive statistics and the regression analysis were conducted. The finding of the study were as follows. First, the education service quality(4.42), satisfaction level(4.44), understanding level(4.44) and help level(4.45) were significantly higher than those of participants in the preventive education 4 and above. Second, e-learning participants' perceived level of education service quality, satisfaction, comprehension, and help was higher in all variables than collective education's. Third, all of the sub-factors of preventive education service quality influenced satisfaction, understanding, and help in collective education and e-learning, respectively. In the collective education, the contents of education had the greatest influence, and in e-learning, the data composition had the greatest influence. Fourth, desirable education contents were cases of fraud training(70.7%), disposition regulations(47.9%), NCS course operation instructions(32.8%) and training management best practices(32.4%). Additional requirements also included the establishment of an in-depth course, the provision of anti-fraud education content for trainees, and screen switching and system stability that can be focused on e-learning. Therefore, this study suggests that first, it is necessary to activate e-learning for prevention education more, reflecting satisfaction of e-learning is higher than that of collective education. Second, it is necessary to diversify the content of preventive education and to provide it more abundantly, because it has the biggest influence in common with the satisfaction, understanding and help level of the preventive education. Third, education content next, the factors that have a relatively big influence on satisfaction are shown as delivery method and education place in the collective education. Therefore, it is necessary to prepare education place considering the assignment of instructor and convenience. Fourth, constructing data next, the factor that have a relatively great influence on understanding and help are found to be operator support, and more active operator support activities are required in e-learning. Fifth, it is required to delivery prevention activity for trainees participating in vocational training. Sixth, it is necessary to analyze the educational need to construct the contents of preventive education more systematically.

  • Competitiveness of service industry in Korea is relatively lower than OECD countries'. Korean government, therefore, has been trying to improve the competitiveness of service industry by accelerating information technology (IT) adoption. Even though most of factors of IT can be contributed to improve the financial performance, it may be affected differently among various industry types and life cycles of companies. Therefore, it is one of very important research issues to analyze the influential effect of IT considering industry types and organizational life cycles in service industries. The purpose of this study is to find out critical success factors of IT which influence financial performance considering different types and life cycles of service industries. We developed the model and identified key success factors of IT adoption as IT system quality, Information quality, IT maintenance, CEO support, IT education of organization, and IT competence of user. Additional analysis of moderating effect by organizational life-cycle and types of service industry are conducted. For data sampling 856 companies are participated and total 2,000 questionnaires are collected. Structural equation modeling method is conducted for statistical analysis. The results show that the model is valid and most of success factors of it are very useful for improving financial performance of service industries except organizational IT education. Moderating effect of industry types and organizational life cycles is valid but partially accepted. The results might be able to provide useful directions and guide lines of IT acceleration in service industries.
