Incentives are often included in survey design because they are known to improve response rates, at least moderately. This paper describes the changes in the response rates when incentives were introduced into a longitudinal survey. The National Survey of Student Engagement was conducted annually at Indiana University Bloomington from 2000 through 2012. In 2010, incentives were introduced in an attempt to reverse the declining response rates. The incentives performed as expected, raising the AAPOR Response Rate 3 from 24% in 2009 to 36% in 2010. From 2010 through 2012, different types of incentives were tried but the response rates did not change substantially. The results from the changes in incentives can help survey practitioners decide the number and types of incentives that might be used effectively to increase response rates.

수출업자와 수입업자간의 신뢰(trust)형성을 촉진하는 선행요인으로서 수입업자에게 제공되는 금전적 또는 비금전적 인센티브의 효과를 조사하였다. 수출업자는 수입업자의 통제 수단으로서 인센티브라는 성과와 연계된 보상시스템을 사용한다. 110개의 수출중소기업 표본을 대상으로 가설 검증을 한 결과, 금전적 인센티브 보다는 비금전적 인센티브가 신뢰 구축에 더 효과적인 적으로 나타났다. 금전적 인센티브는 신뢰 형성에 통계적으로 유의한 관계를 보이지 않았다. 또한, 신뢰의 매개효과인 <비금전적 인센티브 ⇒ 신뢰 ⇒ 수입업자의 역할수행 제고>의 관계는 유의한 것으로 나타났다. 비금전적 인센티브가 신뢰형성을 촉진하고, 이렇게 형성된 신뢰관계는 수입업자가 자신의 맡은바 역할을 충실히 하는데 기여한다는 것이다.

The purpose of the study is to investigate whether monetary and non-monetary incentives paid to exporters influence the level of compliance and tendency to behave opportunistically. As one of the most common ways to export one's products overseas is to establish relationships with foreign agents, numerous research has aimed to identify types of incentives to motivate foreign agents to bring the most efficient outcomes. Stemming from previous studies, this research hypothesizes that the type of incentives affects exporter's level of compliance, and tendency to act opportunistically which determine the level of exporter's satisfaction on foreign agency role performance. Data was collected from 196 Korean exporters, and the findings suggest that exporters should actively engage in providing non-monetary incentives to their agents to motivate importers to comply with exporter's rules. Conversely, agents tend to act more opportunistically when they receive monetary incentives only. These phenomena lead to the conclusions that the satisfaction level of foreign agency role performance is improved when non-monetary incentives are actively in place, and at the same time, foreign agent's level of compliance and opportunism play mediating roles.

The use of economic incentives to improve H&S performance in the construction industry in general, has been investigated by various scholars. However, few studies have looked at the impact of economic incentives on construction clients especially in the developing world. Therefore it was necessary to investigate specifically the impact of the economic incentive on client's H&S performance. Economic incentives are considered to be a proactive way of improving H&S performance. The investigation was conducted using a Delphi technique to determine the impact significance of the economic incentive or disincentive on construction clients' H&S performance. Findings from the study were that the economic factor had critical impact significance on clients' H&S performance. Further clients were 'very likely to' implement various H&S elements as a result of the economic incentive and disincentive. The paper will report on the findings from an analysis of impact significance of the economic incentives on clients. It will underscore the point that economic incentives or disincentives on construction clients are necessary to encourage them to actively participate in H&S performance improvement.

This study aims to improve the family friendly certification system by analyzing the actual experience of family friendly certified companies with the certification's incentives and their demand for new incentives. We analyzed 2018 survey data of family friendly certified company incentives and interviewed representatives from 9 family friendly certified companies. First, the use of incentives differs according to the level of corporate classification, number of employees, industry, certification continuation training, and incentive impact. Current family friendly certification incentives indicate that the utilization rate of incentives is high when small and medium sized enterprises (SMEs) with less than 300 employees have newly received family friendly certification. Second, the use of the certification mark significantly differs by industry, certification duration, and incentive impact. Interviews with the companies' family friendly certification managers revealed that the incentives that companies use mainly are the Public Procurement Service bid points and priority immigration service. Large corporations hope for strong incentives, such as the National Tax Service's deferred tax investigation, interest rate cuts for bank loans, and corporate tax cuts. Lastly, the family friendly certification mark is a representative incentive used by 60% of family friendly certified companies. For the qualitative growth and stabilization of the family friendly certification system, the family friendly certification mark should be improved to become a more attractive incentive.

The relationship between R&D Polices(R&D subsidy, tax incentives) and firm R&D expenditures is analyzed through firm's profit maximization function. As a result, the relationship between R&D policies and fmn R&D expenditures is determined by the relationship between firm R&D expenditures and market price. In case of major innovation which cause the fall of market price, the elasticity R&D subsidy and firm R&D expenditures is negative(substitution). In case of minor innovation which cause the rise of market price, the elasticity R&D subsidy and firm R&D expenditures is positive(complement). Tax incentives is bring about the increase of firm R&D expenditures. R&D subsidy and tax incentives are substitutively influenced at firm R&D expenditures.

세계 주요 허브항만이 되기 위한 각국의 치열한 항만 물동량 싸움에서 한국이 동북아시아 및 글로벌 물류 중심기지로 발돋움하기 위해 현실적이며 효율적인 정책 필요성이 강력히 요구된다. 본 연구의 목적은 동북아시아 물류 중심기지화를 위한 우리나라 항만들의 경쟁력 확보정책의 일환인 항만 인센티브 제도를 비교·분석하고 이를 이용자가 느끼는 서비스품질의 중요도와 성취도를 비교 분석함으로써 항만의 경쟁력제고를 위한 항만지원방안을 모색하고자 하는데 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 우리나라 항만의 인센티브제도 개선방향에 대해 연구 및 이용자 및 전문가를 대상으로 한 설문을 바탕으로 IPA분석을 실시해 보았다. 결과적으로 신규 기항선사 및 수출화주, 수입화주에 대한 인센티브 지급과 합리적인 인센티브 부여 기준마련에 대한 요인은 유지 관리해야 한다고 나타났다. 인센티브 청구절차의 간소화, 전산화, 터미널 운영사 인센티브 및 기존 인센티브외 부가적 인센티브 부여는 개선대상영역으로 나타났으며, 이는 정책을 결정하는 기관에서 제도개선을 위한 의견수렴과 이용자들의 관심을 높이도록 고려해야 할 것이다. 중점개선 영역 요인은 기존기항 선사에 대한 인센티브 제공이며, 이는 기존기항 선사들에 대한 인센티브 제공기준을 재검토하여 좀 더 체계적이며 효율적인 정책으로 적극적인 관리가 필요하다고 볼 수 있다.

This paper empirically investigates potential factors that might affect firms' incentives to license out technology. The analysis is done with the help of a panel data set of observed licensing transactions involving U.S. public companies in high-technology industries. The important explanatory factors relate to the firm characteristics such as the company's stock of technological knowledge (patent stock). prior involvement in technology licensing. the company size, R&D intensity and capital expenditure. The results suggest that there seems to be significant inter-sectoral differences as well as similarities in determinants of the propensity to transfer technology through licensing agreements.

In this paper, we investigate the determinant factors of performance of global standardization experts in their standardization activities. Standards experts of various nationalities were surveyed to assess incentives that may positively influence the performance of standards professionals. As a basis for this study, we make three main assumptions. First, incentives can be important determinant factors of performance among standards experts. Second, standardization is in the public interest, insofar as the efficiency gains resulting from standardization benefit society as a whole. Third, based on this assumption that standardization is in the public interest, we propose that performance determinants for standardization activities tend to be non-monetary in nature rather than monetary. We find that, in order to improve performance among international standards experts, a better understanding of their aspirations and needs must be gained so that appropriate incentives may be proposed to them. Our analysis reveals that the two most important determinant factors of performance are the recognition of the professional status of international standards experts, and an environment providing support systems to help them perform to their fullest potential.
