이 연구의 목적은 한국인의 집단주의가 어떤 면에서 변화하였는지, 혹은 변화하지 않았는지에 대해 탐색적으로 살펴보는 것이다. 기성세대와 신세대들과의 심층인터뷰 및 FGI를 통하여 오늘날 한국인의 집단주의를 표현하는 키워드를 발견하였다. 첫째, 오늘날 한국인들의 집단주의는 '선택적 집단주의'로써, 이전처럼 주어진 집단이 아닌 스스로 선택한 구성원들로 이루어진 보다 축소된 형태의 집단을 기반으로 한다. 둘째, 기술의 발달과 함께 오프라인 집단주의와 대조되는 온라인 집단주의가 출현하였는데, 온라인 집단주의는 온라인 기술을 활용한 커뮤니케이션에 기초하며, 익명성을 통한 평등주의, 시간과 공간을 초월한 연결성 등을 중요한 특징으로 한다. 셋째, 한국인의 집단주의를 구성하는 가장 중요한 요인은 '정'인 것으로 나타났는데, 이는 집단주의의 변화하지 않은 측면으로 인식되었다. 마지막으로 한국인들에게 집단은 자아정체성과 밀접한 관련을 가지고 있으며, 이로 인해 한국인들은 예나 지금이나 집단에 대한 소속감 및 구성원들과의 관계에 집착하는 모습을 보인다. 연구의 의미와 한계에 대해 논의하였다.

The importance of eWOM (electronic word-of-mouth) communication through online communities is increasing on a daily basis. This study analyzed how the relationship between eWOM (electronic Word-Of-Mouth) factor and eWOM communication depends on the cultural orientation of users in the online community. The research model was developed based on four cultural orientations of individual affect Social tie and usefulness. The model consists of variables such as social tie and perceived usefulness as predecessors of eWOM, four dimensions of cultural orientation (Horizontal Individualism, Horizontal Collectivism, Vertical Individualism, Vertical Collectivism), and eWOM. The model was tested empirically using the PLS (partial least squares) structure equation model. Survey was conducted for online community users in South Korea. Data was statistically validated whether fits on research model. The study results reveal that Social Tie have a positive effect on Perceived Usefulness. Social Tie and Perceived Usefulness have a positive effect on eWOM. 3 of cultural orientations (HC, VI, VC) have a positive effect on Social Tie. Only one of cultural orientations (HC) have an negative effect on Perceived Usefulness. Especially, horizontal collectivism (HC) shows strong correlation with perceived usefulness, whereas vertical collectivism (VC) shows weak correlation with perceived usefulness andvertical individualism (VI) shows strongly correlation with social tie, whereas horizontal individualism (HI) shows weak correlation with social tie. Based on the study results, customized service strategy could be formulated according to the different vertical styles and various eWOM factors.

Purpose - This study aims to examine the relationship between Chinese employees' collectivism orientation and organizational commitment and interpersonal helping behavior and verify the differences of such relationships between new and the previous generation of employees. Design/methodology/approach - The 262 Chinese employees participated in self-reported survey through online platform. The confirmatory factor analysis and the hierarchical regression analysis were performed to test hypotheses. Findings - We found that Chinese employees' collectivism orientation positively influenced their organizational commitment and interpersonal helping behavior. Regarding the moderating role of generation, our result revealed that while the positive relationship between collectivism orientation and organizational commitment was significant for previous generation of employees, such relationship was not valid for new generation employees. However, there was no significant generational difference in the relationship between collectivism orientation and interpersonal helping behavior. Research implications or Originality - Considering that there have been relatively few empirical studies examining the interaction between employees' cultural characteristic and generations, this study contributes to demonstrate that the positive influence of Chinese employees' collectivism orientation on organizational commitment vary depending on Chinese generations. In addition, this study provides implications that organizational leaders in China should understand that the generational difference can influence how employees' collectivism orientation leads to their attitudes towards organizations and need to establish human resource management system by reflecting generational difference.

본 연구는 침묵의 나선 이론의 핵심 구성요소인 소외에 대한 두려움과 공개 발언 의지가 문화적 가치에 따라 어떠한 영향을 받는지를 분석한 글이다. 그동안의 문화 간 침묵의 나선 이론 검증은 대부분 '개인주의-집단주의' 성향의 차이가 침묵의 나선 현상의 차이를 초래했다는 결론으로 이어졌다. 본 연구는 침묵의 나선 이론에 대한 문화적 가치의 영향을 살펴보기 위해 '개인주의-집단주의' 뿐만 아니라 '불확실성의 회피' 성향도 중요 변수로 검증하였다. 이를 위해 인도와 한국, 미국, 스페인 등 4개국에서 온라인 설문을 진행한 뒤 얻은 780명의 응답을 분석하였다. 그 결과, 개인주의는 소외에 대한 두려움을 낮추고, 집단주의 및 불확실성 회피성향은 소외에 대한 두려움을 높이는 것으로 조사됐다. 또 개인주의와 불확실성 회피성향은 공개발언 의지를 강화시키는 것으로, 소외에 대한 두려움은 공개발언 의지를 약화시키는 것으로 나타났다. 소외에 대한 두려움은 개인주의와 집단주의의 공개발언 의지에 대한 영향력을 매개하는 것으로 확인됐다.

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.

Thus, we focus on the factors that influence on the adoption of social commerce. This study analyzes the relationship between perceived risk and the shopping motive in social commerce, and investigates whether the shopping motive significantly impact the purchase intention of the social commerce. The perceived risk is comprised of social risk and psychology risk, and the shopping motive is formed from personal motive and social motive. Finally, we analysis a moderating effect of collectivism. The results indicated that the personal motive was negatively affected by the social risk and psychology risk, and social motive was negatively affected by the psychology risk. The social risk and psychology risk had negative effect on the purchase intention, and personal motive and social motive had positive effect on the purchase intention of the social commerce. Finally, low collectivism seems to have the negative effect of the purchase intention by the perceived risk. The implications of integrating perceived risk and shopping motive into the proposed social commerce adoption model are discussed.

The purpose of this paper is to identify factors that influence knowledge sharing and determine the attitudes of quantity surveyors towards knowledge sharing based on the factors. The analysis was based on an online questionnaire survey of Registered Quantity Surveyors from Selangor and Kuala Lumpur. Individualism and collectivism were identified as two major factors that influence attitude towards knowledge sharing. Indicators of individualism include individual attitude, competitiveness, care, incentives and rewards; while the indicators of collectivism are trust, social behaviors and motivation. The findings show that the level of attitudes towards knowledge sharing among quantity surveyors is generally high under enabling organizational environment. However, this is a cautious conclusion as the valid sample on which the analysis is based is relatively small. Willingness to share was found to be highest when incentives and rewards are involved as well as when there is a knowledge management system to promote continuous learning and sharing of knowledge.
