Despite the proliferation of free trade agreements (FTAs), many exporting firms are still confronted with several challenges in utilizing the FTA preferential tariffs. Based on the Technology-Organization-Environment (TOE) framework, this study empirically examines the factors affecting the utilization of FTA schemes by exporting firms. To clarify the key factors influencing FTA utilization, this study develops a conceptual model from the perspective of the adoption of information technology innovations. Eight factors derived from the TOE framework are proposed to explore the determinants of FTA utilization in export. Partial least squares structural equation modeling is employed to analyze the data collected from 162 exporting small- and medium-sized enterprises in the South Korean textile industry. The findings reveal that compatibility and trading partner influence are positively associated with FTA utilization, while complexity is negatively related. Factors of organizational context do not show any relationship with FTA utilization. This study is the first to theoretically analyze and empirically test the determinants of FTA utilization from the perspective of technological innovation adoptions. By examining the relative importance of TOE factors in the utilization of FTA schemes, this study expects to advance a holistic understanding on the perceived factors that could potentially affect the utilization of FTA schemes.

This study is to develop a performance analysis model for SMEs.Based on similar performance indicators through previous studies, performance indicators for SMEs were rewritten.Through the Korean Journal Citation Index (KCI), 75 related data were classified and a comprehensive SME performance analysis model was developed.Performance analysis was divided into two axes and classified into tables.The horizontal axis is the spatial performance range, which is divided into three areas: performance management by department/function, integrated performance management for the entire organization, and governance performance management requiring policy feedback. The vertical axis is subdivided into short-term, mid-term, and long-term by time and growth stage, and is divided into three parts: technical performance according to technological input, economic performance as organizational performance, and social performance for policy utilization. Then, performance indicators were mapped to each column. As a result of the survey, 28% of technical performance was analyzed as a result of frequency analysis, and performance indicators were organized into five categories: IT, R&D, certification, patent, and innovation. Economic performance was divided into 29%, BSC, HRD, logistics, production quality management, financial support, asset management, etc. 6 categories, social performance 43%, ESG, marketing, export, policy support, consulting, cooperation, etc. 7 categories.Limitations of the study include the narrowness of the survey that derived only performance indicators despite being a meta-analysis, and the performance model was mapped and classified according to growth stage and support period.however Insufficiency of validity due to lack of evidence, performance indicators were developed, but there were limitations in utilization for practical use.

본 연구는 실증적 설문 자료를 기반으로 역할 스트레스와 성과에 대한 정보통신기술(ICT)에 의해 만들어진 스트레스(즉, 기술스트레스)의 효과를 확인하기 위해 사회기술 이론과 역할 이론의 개념을 사용하였다. 본 연구는 먼저 ICT가 어떠한 방법으로 조직 구성원들의 스트레스를 만들며 기술스트레스를 형성하는 요인은 무엇인지에 대한 다양한 관점을 제시한다. 다음으로 본 연구는 크게 다음의 4가지 가설을 제안한다. (1) 기술스트레스는 역할 스트레스(즉, 역할 충돌과 역할 과중)와 부정적 심리 성과 및 IS 사용의 부정적 성과에 각각 긍정적으로 관련되어 있을 것이다. (2) 역할 충돌은 부정적 심리성과 및 IS 사용의 부정적 성과에 각각 긍정적으로 관련되어 있을 것이다. (3) 역할 과중은 부정적 심리 성과 및 IS 사용의 부정적 성과에 각각 긍정적으로 관련되어 있을 것이다. (4) 혁신 지원은 기술 및 역할 스트레스와 부정적 심리 성과 및 IS 사용의 부정적 성과 사이에서 조절 역할을 할 것이다. 본 연구는 가설들을 검정하기 위해 조직의 ICT 사용자로부터 설문조사를 실시하여 수집된 데이터를 바탕으로 부분최소자승(Partial Least Squares: PLS)법을 사용하였다. 연구결과는 기술스트레스와 역할 충돌 간의 관계에 대한 가설을 제외한 다른 가설들을 지지하는 것을 보여주었다. 본 연구는 이론적으로, 조직에서 개인이 경험한 스트레스에 대한 기존의 개념에 기술스트레스의 확인을 통해 또 다른 차원을 추가적으로 제시하고, 기술스트레스와 역할 스트레스 사이의 긍정적인 관계의 검정을 통해 기술과 조직의 역할 사이의 관계 및 구조를 분석하는 문헌에 새로운 맥락을 제안한다. 실무적으로는 기술스트레스가 조직에 존재하는 정도를 평가하는 진단 도구를 제시하고, 기술스트레스의 역효과는 역할 스트레스를 줄이는 전략에 하나의 유용한 방안이 될 수 있다는 것을 제안한다.
