This paper aimed to investigate the difference of clothing behavior and desired image according to individualism-collectivism cultural tendency for women. A survey of 217 adult women was conducted from November to December 2006, mainly in Daegu. Reliability, frequency, percentage, factor analysis, ANOVA, t-test, Tukey test and an -analysis were used for data analysis by using SPSS WIN 11.0 package. The results were as follows: First, while the group with a higher tendency toward individualism valued personality and convenience above everything else, the group which has a higher tendency to collectivism disposition has a much greater interested in conformity and brand-orientation. Second, while the group with a higher tendency toward individualism pursued an bold image for their clothing, the group with a higher tendency toward collectivism preferred a feminine and plain image. Third, regarding the individualism-collectivism and demographic peculiarity, there were no significant differences between the two groups according to marital status and average monthly income. However, there were significant differences in individualism-collectivism among the groups determined by age, occupation, educational background and rural or urban background.

국내 많은 기업들의 성과급 제도 도입 비율이 증가하였다. 성과급 제도의 효율적인 적용을 위하여, 본 연구는 조직 구성원의 개인주의-집합주의 성향과, 성과급 형태가 임금만족에 미치는 효과에 대해 검증하였다. 국내의 다양한 직종에 종사하는 243명의 직원들을 대상으로 자료를 수집하였다. 회귀분석 결과, 성과급 형태(개인 vs. 집단 성과급)와 집합주의 성향의 상호작용이 임금만족에 유의미한 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 추가적으로 성과급 형태와 개인의 문화 성향이 임금만족에 미치는 효과에 대한 다변량 분석 결과 두 변인의 상호작용 역시 유의미한 것으로 나타났다. 특히 집단 성과급에서는 개인 문화 성향에 따라 점수 차이가 크지 않았지만, 개인성과급에서는 집합주의 성향자 보다 개인주의 성향자의 임금만족 수준이 더 높았다. 이러한 결과는 한국사회가 일반적으로 집합주의적 경향의 문화인 것을 고려했을 때, 개인 성과급 제도의 사용과 그 효과성을 고려하는 데 있어서 신중한 판단이 요구된다는 것을 시사해주고 있다.

The objective of this study was to identify the cultural characteristics affecting advertising contents of the consumer products. Hofstedes(1991) five cultural characteristics such as individualism-collectivism, power distance, masculinity-feminity, avoidance of uncertainty, confucian dynamism were used. Ten kinds of consumer products were included and data were collected from France, Japan, Korea, and U. S. during 1999∼2000. All ads were evaluated and compared their cultural characteristics in terms of country, product involvement and usage, and magazine type. ANOVA, Duncan test, and Pearson correlation-coefficient were applied to analyze data. The results were shown as follows: First, most ads tended to be individual, less power oriented, feministic, and showed high tendency of uncertainty avoidance as well as long term confucianism for all the countries. And some cultural characteristics were different among countries. Japan, France, U. S. and Korea in order showed higher individualism and lower power distance. Also Korea and Japan showed relatively short term confucian culture while U. S. and France did ling term perspectives in the ads. Second, product involvement and usage type had a significant impact on the characteristics of individualism-collectivism and feminity-masculinity. That is, product ads of lower involvement and personal use were likely to show individualistic messages and to have more feministic appeals. Third, magazine type had an impact on some cultural characteristics. Womens magazines would have more individualistic, less power oriented, and feministic appeals of ads. In conclusion, global ads should be localized and differentiated in terms of some cultural characteristics and differ depending on product characteristics.

This study analyzes the relation of the consumption values and ethical fashion consumption behavior as well as other influential factors between Korean and German ethical consumers based on the 'Modified Theory of Planned Behavior.' A survey was conducted on female consumers in their 20s and 30s, who experienced ethical fashion consumption in Seoul and Berlin. A factor analysis, reliability analysis, F -test and multiple regression analysis were performed for model verification. The research results indicated that emotional value (in case of Korea) and functional value out of consumption values (in case of Germany) have significant effects in regards to the influence of consumption values on ethical self-identity. The effects of ethical self-identity on ethical fashion consumption behavior indicated that Korean ethical self-identity influenced the ethical fashion consumption behavior of moderating and simplicity and eco-friendly certification versus local consumption as well as above factors (in case of Germany) explained by ethical self-identity. Both variables had a negative moderating effect in Korea in regards to the moderating effects of social comparison and materialism in the relations of ethical self-identity and ethical fashion consumption behavior; however, only materialism was an influential factor in Germany. The results of the research variables by individualism/collectivism indicated that the horizontal-collectivism group showed the highest ethical self-identity along with the lowest materialism tendency that had a high point of consumption behavior towards local consumption. However, the vertical-individualism group was outstanding. The consumption behavior aimed at moderating and simplicity.

본 연구에서는 독일 청소년과 한국 청소년의 기질 및 성격 특성을 비교문화적 관점에서 비교하고자 하였다. 이 목적을 위하여 만 12-18세의 715명의 독일 청소년 (M=14.70, SD=1.80)과 1411명의 한국 청소년들(M=15.18, SD=1.69)이 청소년용 기질 및 성격검사를 통해 관찰되었다. t-검증 결과, '자기초월' 척도를 제외하곤 나머지 6개의 전 기질 및 성격척도에서 독일과 한국 청소년 집단간 유의한 차이가 발견되었다. 그러나 집단의 크기가 클 경우 작은 평균 차이에도 통계적 유의한 결과가 나오는 점을 고려하여 크기 효과를 검증하는 effect size를 분석하였을 때, 기질 차원에서는 위험회피에서, 성격차원에서는 자율성 척도에서만 유의한 차이가 나타났다. 즉, 한국 청소년 집단이 독일청소년 집단에 비해 억제와 불안 차원의 높은 위험회피 기질 특성과 아울러 자기수용, 자기신뢰, 목적의식, 유능감 차원에서 낮은 자율성 성격특성을 나타내었다. 두 문화에 나타난 성차를 effect size를 통해 분석하였을 때는, 독일과 한국청소년 집단 모두에서 여성 청소년이 남성 청소년보다 사회적 민감성 기질 특성이 유의하게 높은 것으로 나타났다. 나타난 결과는 동양과 서양을 비교하는데 사용되는 개인주의와 집단주의의 틀에서 논의되었으며 각 문화권의 교육정책 및 사회적 분위기와도 관련지어 살펴보는 것이 제안되었다.

Purpose - The purpose of this study is to elucidate the perception differences between CEOs and employees, and to derive a plan for improving performance by using theory of planned behavior (TPB) to enhance the competitiveness of SMEs exposed to various difficulties until recently. Research design, data and methodology - A total of 238 valid questionnaires were collected for CEOs and members of SMEs. In order to clarify the difference of perception, independent sample t-test and multi-group analysis using AMOS were conducted. Simple regression analysis and structural equation were used to confirm whether the theory of planned behavior was applied at the level of SME. Results - The CEO group is more aware of company's ethical responsibility activities and organizational support than the group of employees, and collectivism contributes more to organizational development than individualism tendency. Also, the theory of planned behavior is applied to the SME level as well. Conclusion - This study suggest that CEOs need to accept the pluralism of their members for the development of SMEs. In addition, it is necessary to form a consensus on ethical responsibility activities that corporations are performing by supporting diverse strategies and members' participation in management decision-making.

본 연구는 문화성향에 따른 SNS의 사용 및 중독과의 관련성을 알아보고자 고안되었다. SNS 사용에 영향을 미치는 성별, 성격, 연령의 개인 내적 변인의 효과를 통제하고자 하였으며, 또한 SNS상에서의 문화성향과 오프라인상의 문화성향은 일치하지 않을 수 있기 때문에, 두 문화성향을 독립적으로 측정하고자 하였다. 이를 위해 혈족-비혈족 맥락으로 SNS상의 문화성향을 측정하는 문항들을 새로 개발하였다. 13~15세의 청소년 253명과 18~25세의 성인 246명을 연구대상자로 모집하여 총 499명의 자료가 분석되었다. 분석 결과 SNS상에서의 개인주의는 SNS 사용량 및 중독 경향성과 정적인 상관관계를 보여주었다. 또한 남성에 비해서 여성이 SNS 사용 시간과 SNS 중독 경향성이 높았으며, 청소년에 비해서 성인의 사용 기간 및 시간이 높았으나 중독 경향성에는 유의미한 차이가 없었다. 상관분석 결과 SNS 문화성향과 오프라인 문화성향 간의 상관은 높은 편이 아니었으며, 성별, 성격, 연령 및 오프라인 문화성향 변인의 효과를 통제한 후에도 SNS 혈족 개인주의 성향은 SNS 중독 경향성을 유의미하게 예측하였다. 이러한 결과는 SNS 사용과 중독을 예측하는 데 있어서는 SNS 맥락에 적절한 문화성향을 측정할 필요가 있음을 시사하며, SNS 중독에 있어서 SNS 혈족 개인주의가 주요 변인이 될 수 있다는 가능성을 보여주었다.

Purpose - This study examines the positive impact of the social distance between producers and users of online content, investigating and analyzing the most popular Web content. In addition, it tries to elicit the matching effect that appears when the individuals'cultural background is consistent with social distance. Research design, data, and methodology - We collected and analyzed actual data about 4,981 videos clips on YouTube, looking at six countries in order to verify the content of this study. Based on the results of the data analysis, the study conducted behavioral measurements on popularity, social distance, culture, and user engagement. The unit of analysis was the content and we collected information about the content producers and the content records. We controlled the views, comments, likes, calendar dates, and ages in the empirical models. The data was collected in 2011, with the records coming from South Korea, Japan, China, U.S., German, and France. A total of 4,980 elements were analyzed in the model. The empirical model estimated is the bivariate negative binomial distribution (NBD) model. Results - It turns out that there is a possibility that the matching effect can be diminished by variables that reflect the psychological involvement of user engagement. This study proposes academic and practical implications based on these research results. This research shows the positive effect of social distance between users and producers on the increased performance of the online content. We find the effect of social distance to be a stronger tendency in collectivism. The collectivists follow their sense of friendship and intimacy in their culture and, the social congruence effect can be found there as well. The effect, however, could erode in a social case where users are motivated by strong intrinsic and psychological factors. In addition, user engagement complicates the process of user decision making regarding the information. Conclusions - This study examines how the differential effects of social distance caused by culture could disappear through user commitment as a complicated user motivation. Some potential implications are as follows. First, a firm in the collectivism culture has to communicate based on the social distance. In fact, most online channels do not have a function that indicates the social distance as measured by favorites or subscribers. This function could help increase the performance of the content in online channels, but this increasing effect can only be found in a collectivist culture. Based on this, the firms have to communicate and announce to users the actual social distance between users and producers. Second, firms should develop a system that discovers the social distance and culture and shows these measures to users and producers, since the congruence effect between social distance and culture is found only for low user engagement. The firms can take the advantage of the congruence effect only for the development of the social distance and culture visualized system.
