Purpose - In this paper, we aim to analyze to what extent entrepreneurial orientation (EO) can help overcome Korean SMEs' liabilities of foreignness in overseas markets. In this end, we examined three sub-dimensions of EO (proactiveness, innovativeness, risk-taking) and examine their individual effects on NPD performance of exporting SMEs. Research design, data, and methodology - We collected survey questionnaires from Korean exporting SMEs that are certified with Inno-biz by the Korean Ministry of SMEs and Startups. The collected data was analyzed using SPSS 26 and AMOS to create an integrated model. Result - As a result of the analysis, we found that proactiveness and innovativeness dimension of EO have positive effect on new product performance of exporting SMEs. Furthermore, technological uncertainty has negative moderating effect between innovativeness and new product performance of SMEs. Conclusion - While proactive attitude and innovativeness of EO positively affected the performance of new products of SMEs, the tendency to take risks and pursue opportunities with bold behaviors did not have a positive effect on NPD performance in foreign nations.

The hotel industry is an example of experiential services. As consumers cannot fully evaluate the online review content and quality of their services before booking, they must rely on several online reviews to reduce their perceived risks. However, individuals face information overload owing to the explosion of online reviews. Therefore, consumer cognitive fluency is an individual's subjective experience of the difficulty in processing information. Information complexity influences the receiver's attitude, behavior, and purchase decisions. Individuals who cannot process complex information rely on the peripheral route, whereas those who can process more information prefer the central route. This study further discusses the influence of the complexity of review information on hotel ratings using online attraction review data retrieved from TripAdvisor.com. This study conducts a two-level empirical analysis to explore the factors that affect review value. First, in the Peripheral Route model, we introduce a negative binomial regression model to examine the impact of intuitive and straightforward information on hotel ratings. In the Central Route model, we use a Tobit regression model with expert reviews as moderator variables to analyze the impact of complex information on hotel ratings. According to the analysis, five-star and budget hotels have different effects on hotel ratings. These findings have immediate implications for hotel managers in terms of better identifying potentially valuable reviews.

This paper investigates whether the price of cryptocurrency is determined by the US dollar index, the price of investment assets such gold and oil, and the implied volatility of the KOSPI. Overall, the returns on cryptocurrencies are best predicted by the trading volume of the cryptocurrency both in-sample and out-of-sample. The estimates of gold and the dollar index are negative in the return prediction, though they are not significant. The dollar index, gold, and the cryptocurrencies seem to share characteristics which hedging instruments have in common. When investors take notice of the imminent market risks, they increase the demand for one of these assets and thereby increase the returns on the asset. The most notable result in the out-of-sample predictability is the predictability of the returns on value-weighted portfolio by gold. The empirical results show that the restricted model fails to encompass the unrestricted model. Therefore, the unrestricted model is significant in improving out-of-sample predictability of the portfolio returns using gold. From the empirical analyses, we can conclude that in-sample predictability cannot guarantee out-of-sample predictability and vice versa. This may shed light on the disparate results between in-sample and out-of-sample predictability in a large body of previous literature.

Purpose: This study aimed to examine the occupational injuries experienced by operating room nurses and investigate the relationship between these injuries and safety climate. Methods: The study involved 198 operating room nurses working in general and tertiary hospitals with more than 300 beds. Results: Among the four sub-factors of occupational injuries experienced by operating room nurses, risks due to ergonomic hazards were the most prevalent and those due to physical hazards were the least. The scores related to occupational injury showed a significantly negative correlation with the safety climate. Conclusions: The findings indicate that higher operating room nurses' awareness of the safety climate is associated with lower rates of occupational injury. Therefore, organizational efforts and interventions are imperative to improve the safety climate within hospitals. Additionally, in order to investigate the safety of operating room nurses more in-depth, it is necessary to expand not only the sample size but also the geographic scope.

Purpose: Despite the health impacts of endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs) beginning in the early stages of life, there is little research on the perception of EDCs among Korean mothers, who are primarily responsible for protecting children. This study aimed to explore how mothers with young children perceived EDCs for their concerns, the issues they faced, and the way they dealt with them. Methods: An exploratory qualitative design was utilized. Twelve mothers who were recruited from snowball sampling participated in voluntary interviews. Individual in-depth interviews lasting approximately 47 to 60 minutes were recorded and transcribed verbatim. The data were analyzed using qualitative content analysis as suggested by Graneheim and Lundman. Results: Four categories, 10 subcategories, and 25 condensed meaning units were identified by interpreting mothers' underlying meanings. The four categories were 'Knowledgeable yet contrasting ideas regarding EDCs,' 'Negative health impact, but more so for children,' 'Inaction or trying to minimize exposure,' and 'Need for early, reliable resources and social change.' Mothers were knowledgeable about EDCs and actively needed further education and support. While they tended to focus more on the health impact of EDCs on their children and were optimistic about their health risks, paying less attention to their preventive behaviors. Conclusion: Healthcare professionals must consider mothers' perceptions of EDCs in future education and interventions regarding EDCs impact on women's life stages such as puberty, pregnancy, and childrearing. Also preventive strategies that can be applied to their daily lives are needed.

This study explores the impact of technostress on the intention to use telemedicine applications (apps) in the post-COVID19 era, a period marked by the rapid popularization of such apps to mitigate COVID19 infection risks. Utilizing the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM), the study identifies variables and proposes a research model. A questionnaire survey involving 364 adults is analyzed through Partial Least Squares-Structural Equation Modeling. Results indicate positive significance for variables linked to the TAM (perceived usefulness, perceived ease of use, attitude, and intention to use). Notably, techno-complexity negatively affects perceived ease of use, while techno-unreliability negatively impacts perceived usefulness and ease of use. Surprisingly, techno-uncertainty has a positive effect on both perceived usefulness and ease of use. Techno-overload, although negatively impacting perceived usefulness and ease of use, does not reach statistical significance. The study underscores the need to consider both positive and negative aspects, including technostress, when evaluating telemedicine app usage. Additionally, recognizing the varying impact of technostress based on users' ICT(Information and Communication Technology) confidence levels is crucial. Overall, these findings contribute academically to telemedicine app adoption literature and hold industrial significance by providing a user perspective on these apps.

Long-span suspension bridges located in typhoon-prone regions face significant risks of flutter instability, particularly in girder erection. Despite the implementation of aerodynamic countermeasures designed for the service stage, the flutter stability of bridge in girder erection may not meet the required standards. Nowadays, the double-deck truss girder is increasingly common in practical engineering which exhibits different performance from the single-deck truss girder. To gain insights into the flutter performance of this girder type and determine temporary aerodynamic countermeasures for flutter suppression in girder erection, wind tunnel tests were conducted. The effects of affiliated members on the flutter performance were first examined. Subsequently, different aerodynamic countermeasures were designed and their effectiveness was tested. The results indicate that the stabilizers above and below the upper and lower decks are the most effective for the flutter stability of bridge at positive and negative angles of attack, respectively. The higher the stabilizers are, the better the effect on flutter suppression achieves. Considering the feasibility in practical engineering, a temporary stabilizer above the upper deck was considered. It is expected that the results could provide references for the aerodynamic design of double-deck truss girder during erection.

본 연구는 개인이 지닌 인지편향이 지각된 위험 및 창업기회평가와 어떤 연관성이 있는지를 알아보고, 창업집단에 따라 인지편향과 창업효능감이 창업기회를 다르게 평가하는지를 분석하는 것이다. 본 연구를 통해 대학생을 위한 창업교육의 개선점을 찾고, 현직의 창업가가 행하는 의사결정과정에서 어떤 문제점이 있으며 개선 가능성이 있는지를 제시하고자 한다. 대학생과 창업가를 대상으로 설문을 실시하였으며, 총 363명의 설문 데이터를 기반으로 구조방정식모형을 통해 실증하였다. 연구분석 결과는 다음과 같다. 첫째, 인지편향과 지각된 위험은 유의적인 부의 관계를 가지며, 구체적으로 인지편향 중 과잉자신감과 통제착각은 지각된 위험과 부(-)의 유의적 관계를 가지는 것으로 분석되었다. 둘째로, 인지편향은 기회평가와 유의한 정(+)의 관계가 있으며 구체적으로 통제착각과 현상유지편향과 유의한 정(+)의 관계를 가지는 것으로 분석되었다. 셋째, 지각된 위험은 기회평가와 유의한 부(-)의 관계가 있는 것으로 나타났다. 넷째, 대학생과 창업가집단을 나누어 살펴본 창업집단간의 차이를 살펴보면 창업효능감이 지각된 위험과 기회평가 사이에서 조절효과를 하고 있다는 것을 대학생집단에서는 확인할 수 있으나, 창업가집단에서는 유의미한 결과를 발견하지 못했다. 또한 대학생집단과 창업가집단은 다른 인지편향을 가지고 있으며, 지각된 위험을 매개로 창업기회평가에 다르게 관계가 있음을 실증하였다. 불확실한 상황에서 판단을 해야 하는 예비 창업가인 대학생과 기존 창업가에게는 시간적인 압박, 또는 스트레스를 원인으로 발생하는 서로 다른 인지편향이 존재하며, 이런 편향의 존재를 인정하고 스스로 자신의 판단을 개선하는 노력을 해야 한다는 점을 확인하였다. 대학생은 높은 창업효능감을 기반으로 새로운 기회에 대한 긍정적인 시각을 지닐 수 있지만, 창업교육을 통해 창업이 가지고 있는 본질적인 위험에 대한 철저한 지각과 함께 직접적인 창업경험에 존재하는 인지편향을 충분히 이해한다면 과거보다 좋은 기회평가를 하게 될 수 있다는 점이다. 본 연구는 대학생과 창업가를 통합하여 실증하였다는 점과 제한된 방식의 임의추출법에 의해 설문응답자를 선정하였다는 점에서 한계를 가진다. 두 번째로 선행연구에서 사용한 측정도구를 번역하여 사용하였으며, 언어 문제로 측정도구의 명확한 의미가 전달되지 않을 수도 있다. 연구의 정확성을 위해 보다 정밀한 척도를 구성할 필요가 있을 것이다.

본 연구는 개별 국가 혹은 지역 단위 배출권 거래제도의 국제적 연계 가능성에 대비하기 위해 한 중 일 3국간의 배출권 거래제도 연계 시 예상되는 경제 환경적 영향을 분석하기 위해 수행되었다. 이를 위해 연산가능 일반균형모형을 통해 3국간 배출권 거래제 도입의 경제 환경적 영향을 분석하였다. 분석결과 한 중 일 3국간 탄소시장의 연계는 국가별로 다양한 측면에서 복잡한 영향을 미치게 됨을 확인할 수 있다. 한 중 일 배출권 거래제 연계 시행은 3국 전체의 실질 GDP를 증가시키는 긍정적 효과가 있음에도 불구하고 연계로 인한 이익의 국가간 분배가 불균형적임은 물론 실질 소비나 고용 등의 측면에서는 탄소시장 연계가 3국 전체적으로도 오히려 부정적인 영향을 초래할 수 있다는 점에서 반드시 긍정적인 효과만을 담보하는 것은 아니다. 특히 배출권 매입국인 한국과 일본의 소득 소비 고용 감소 및 에너지 의존도 증가, 배출권 매출국인 중국의 생산 감소 및 해외 이전 가능성은 3국간 탄소시장의 연계의 장애요인으로 작용할 수 있다. 3국간 탄소시장 연계를 통한 긍정적 효과를 최대한 유지하면서 예상되는 부정적 효과를 최소화하기 위해서는 배출권 수입 관세나 수입배출권 할인과 같은 보완적 정책수단의 개발 적용이 필요하다.
