Many companies have recently become interested in using social networking sites such as Twitter and Facebook as a new channel to communicate with their customers. For example, companies often offer "special deals" (e.g., coupons, discounts, free samples, etc.) to their customers who participate in promotions or events on social networking sites. Companies often make important announcements on their products or services on social networking sites. By doing so, customers are encouraged to continue to have relationships with companies on social networking sites and to recommend the companies' presence on social networking sites to other potential customers. Moreover, customers who keep close relationships with companies on social networking sites often provide the companies with valuable suggestions and feedback. For instance, Starbucks has more than 2 million followers on Twitter, and often receive suggestions and feedback for their product offerings and services from the followers on Twitter. Although companies realize potential benefits of using social networking sites as a channel to communicate with their customers, it appears that many companies have difficulty forging long-lasting relationships with customers on social networking sites. It is often reported that many customers who had followed companies on Twitter later stopped following them for various reasons. Therefore, it is an important issue to understand what motivates customers to continue to keep relationships with companies on social networking sites. Nonetheless, due attention has yet paid to this issue until recently. This study intends to contribute to our understanding on customers' intention to continue to follow companies on Twitter and to spread positive word-of-mouth about companies on Twitter. Specifically, we identify seven potential factors that customers perceive as important in evaluating their experience with companies on Twitter. The seven factors include similarity, receptivity, interactivity, ubiquitous connectivity, enjoyment, usefulness and transparency. We posit that the seven perception factors can affect the two types of satisfaction, emotional and cognitive, which can in turn influence on customers' intention to follow companies on Twitter and to spread positive word-of-mouth about companies on Twitter. Research hypotheses formulated in this study were tested with data collected from a questionnaire survey administered to customers who had been following companies on Twitter. The data was analyzed with the partial least square (PLS) approach to structural equation modeling. The results of data analysis based on 177 usable responses were generally supportive of our predictions for the effects of the seven factors identified and the two types of satisfaction. In particular, out results suggest that emotional satisfaction was strongly influenced by perceived similarity, perceived receptivity, perceived enjoyment, and perceived transparency. Cognitive satisfaction was significantly influenced by perceived similarity, perceived interactivity, perceived enjoyment, and perceived transparency. While cognitive satisfaction was found to have significant and positive effects on both continued following and word-of-mouth intentions, emotional satisfaction had a significant and positive effect only on word-of-mouth intention.

Purpose: Non-Fungible Token (NFT) ART, based on NFT technology, represents a novel form of art that has recently garnered significant attention in the art market. NFT technology enables the assertion of ownership over digital data, introducing the concept of ownership into the digital realm. As digital data gains ownership, NFT ART is anticipated to be positively viewed as an investment and expected to become more active due to the characteristics of this new technology. Therefore, this study aims to verify the influence of NFT ART characteristics on perceived value. This study contributes to extracting the distinctive characteristics of NFT ART compared to other forms of art and to understanding the perceived value of NFT ART among consumers with purchasing experience. Methods: This study applied structural equation modeling to explore the relationships among the variables using SPSS 26.0 and R program version 4.2.3. A total of 320 questionnaires were retrieved, all of which were adopted as valid analytical samples without missing values. Results: The findings indicate that the decentralization, transparency, and scarcity of NFT ART positively influence the perceived usefulness and enjoyment among consumers, while security does not have a significant impact. This suggests that higher levels of decentralization, transparency, and scarcity in NFT ART enhance perceived usefulness and enjoyment for consumers, significantly influencing the perceived value. Furthermore, it was confirmed that these characteristics are considered important values and perceptions from the consumer's perspective. Conclusion: The research presents positive factors for the activating of purchases among consumers considering buying NFT ART. It emphasizes the necessity of benefits for all participants to activate the art market. Additionally, the perceived value provides crucial insights for inducing active purchasing behavior in the NFT ART market and serves as a foundational study for further research.

This study examined the perception and behavior of fast food restaurant customers toward ordering kiosk nutrition information. Specifically, the influence of nutrition information transparency and information quality on behavioral intention and revisit intention were identified. In addition, the difference in the nutrition information transparency and information quality was analyzed according to the health consciousness of the customers. The study employed a self-administered survey that was distributed both online and offline from November 8~22, 2018. The sample of the study was customers who had experienced ordering from the kiosk in a fast food restaurant in the six months prior to taking the survey. A total of 250 (98.0%) respondents completed the survey, which was used for data analysis. As a result, there was a significant relation between transparency and nutrition information quality (P<0.001). The higher the visibility and inferability of the nutrition information, the better the nutrition information quality. Nutrition information quality has a significant impact on the levels of customer satisfaction and revisit intention (P<0.001). For the differences in the transparency and nutrition information quality by health consciousness of customers, the results indicated that groups with high health consciousness (3.74 or higher) perceived a higher transparency and nutritional information quality than those with a lower health consciousness. These findings can form the basis of a strategy in developing nutrition information of ordering kiosks in restaurants. In addition, it can be applied to academia and industry.

온라인 뱅킹 서비스의 성공을 위해서는 이용 고객의 신뢰를 제고하는 것이 필수적이다. 현재까지 인터넷 뱅킹 이용자들의 신뢰를 제고하는 보안 메커니즘으로 공인인증 서비스가 가장 유력한 대안으로 사용되어 왔다. 그러나 최근 공인인증서를 통한 보안 메커니즘은 해커 등 악의적인 사용자의 침입에 취약할 수 있다는 주장이 제기되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 온라인 뱅킹 보안 메커니즘의 견고성을 높이기 위한 추가적인 대안으로 공인인증서 사용과 관련된 과정의 투명성과 결과 피드백의 투명성이라는 두 가지 요소를 제안하였다. 과정의 투명성은 거래과정에 대한 정보를 이용자에게 제공함으로써 거래 과정을 통제할 수 있도록 하는 것이다. 결과 피드백은 거래결과를 이용자에게 알려줌으로써 이용자가 거래가 의도한 대로 완료되었음을 확인할 수 있도록 하는 것이다. 정보의 투명성에 관한 선행 연구에 따르면, 거래과정과 결과에 대한 정보를 제공하여 투명성을 제고하면 정보시스템 이용자의 의사결정 품질이 제고된다. 거래과정에 대한 정보의 투명성이 확보되면, 정보시스템 이용자들은 거래가 원활하게 수행되고 있는지를 확인할 수 있게 되고, 거래 과정과 결과를 자신이 의도한 대로 통제할 수 있게 되기 때문에, 이용자들의 거래 위험을 감소시킬 수 있다. "구조기반 신뢰" 에 대한 연구에 따르면, 정보시스템 이용자들은 자신들이 성공적으로 거래를 할 수 있도록 구조적인 요소를 제공하는 서비스 제공자들을 보다 신뢰하는 속성이 있다. 거래과정과 거래결과를 확인할 수 있는 정보의 투명성은 정보시스템 이용자가 거래를 원활하게 추진할 수 있는 구조적 기반을 제공하므로 서비스 제공자에 대한 신뢰는 증가하게 된다. 거래 위험이 감소하고 신뢰가 증가되면, 이용자들은 제공되는 서비스에 대해 보다 만족하게 되고, 따라서 서비스 제공자에 대해 충성도가 제고되거나 서비스에 대해 지불 의사를 가지게 될 것이다. 본 연구에서는 실험실 실험을 통해 연구 가설 및 연구 모델을 실증적으로 검증하고자 하였다. 실험설계는 과정의 투명성과 결과의 투명성이라는 두 가지 요인에 따라 $2{\times}2$ 집단으로 구성하여 진행하였다. 공인인증서 사용과 관련된 과정의 투명성과 결과 피드백 요소가 현재 온라인 뱅킹 사이트에서 제공되고 있지 않기 때문에 가상의 온라인 뱅킹 사이트를 구축하여 실험을 진행하였다. 총 138개의 유효한 자료를 실험을 통해 수집하였으며 PLS 알고리즘을 활용하여 분석을 진행하였다. 분석 결과, 과정의 투명성은 온라인 뱅킹 거래의 위험을 줄이고 온라인 뱅킹 사이트에 대한 신뢰를 증가시키는 것으로 나타났다. 결과 피드백은 온라인 뱅킹 사이트에 대한 신뢰를 증가시키는 것으로 나타났다. 이렇게 증가된 신뢰와 감소된 거래위험은 서비스 만족도를 증가시킴으로써 온라인 뱅킹 서비스 이용 고객의 서비스에 대한 지불의도와 온라인 뱅킹 사이트에 대한 충성도를 증가시키는 것으로 조사되었다. 본 연구에서는 온라인 뱅킹 서비스의 보안이라는 주제에 대해 정보의 투명성이 보안에 미치는 영향을 실증자료를 통해 분석함으로써 온라인 보안 메커니즘 연구의 범위를 확대하였을 뿐만 아니라 실제 구현이 가능한 보안 메커니즘에 대한 효과를 검증함으로써 실무적 측면에서의 동헌도가 있다고 판단된다.

The global financial crisis in 2008 eroded trust towards the banking industry overall. To make such institutions more transparent, the International Accounting Standard Board developed the International Financial Reporting Standard 9 (IFRS 9). After the announcement of IFRS 9, academic research has primarily focused on examining the stability of banks due to early loan-loss recognition guidelines under the new system. There appears to be a lack of understanding of how IFRS 9 has influenced institutional depositors' opinions of bank trustworthiness. Hence the goal of this study is to determine how the adoption of IFRS 9 by banks has impacted perceptions of transparency, trust, and skepticism, from the perspective of large institutional depositors. This research was conducted in the context of Malaysian banks that follow the IFRS 9 guidelines. A framework is proposed using the signaling theory, leading to the development of a set of hypotheses. The hypotheses are tested with data collected from 654 financial analysts working in Malaysian companies that are large institutional depositors. The results indicate that the adoption of IFRS 9 has led to higher levels of perceptions of bank transparency and trust, and lower levels of skepticism towards such banks.

We study confirmed the factors influencing the organizational culture(collective culture, development culture, rational culture, hierarchical culture) perceived by members of the organization and the manager's authentic leadership(self-awareness, balanced information processing, relational transparency, internalized moral perspective) on job crafting. In addition, the relationship between organizational culture and authentic leadership was empirically analyzed. In order to verify the hypothesis of the research model, the survey results of 269 parts were verified as follows using the statistical program of SPSS 24.0. First, the organizational cultures perceived by members of the organization, development culture and rational culture, showed positive (+) influence on job crafting. In other words, Hypothesis 1 established by the research model was partially adopted. Second, the group culture, development culture, and rational culture of organizational culture were statistically significant in the relationship between the hypothesis 2 organizational culture and authentic leadership. In other words, Hypothesis 2 was partially adopted. Third, the three hypotheses of authentic leadership (self-awareness, balanced information processing, relational transparency, and an internalized moral perspective) all showed positive (+) effects on job crafting. As a result of this study, it was possible to confirm the importance of the organizational culture that improves the job-crafting of the members of the organization and the strategic activation plan for authentic leadership. Therefore, the necessity of strategic human resource development for the development and application of programs to revitalize organizational culture and improve the manager's authentic leadership has emerged.

The transmittance of the three dimensional (3D) transparent display is an important factor and can be enhanced by adding a see-through area to the displayed 3D image in order to transmit an ambient light with maximum transparency. However, there is a side effect that the perceived 3D resolution can be degraded due to the see-through area. In this paper, we propose an advanced method to resolve the above trade-off relation between the transparency and the 3D resolution by using an active parallax barrier (PB) with a see-through area. The experimental results are also presented to prove the proposed principle.
