Although consumer ethical behavior related with illegal copies of digital software has been considered to be an important issue, not many studies have attempted to examine the issue. Firstly, this study attemped to explain the moral judgment and intention to make illegal copies of smart phone applications for college students. Secondly, psychological factors such as moral intensity and perceived risk related to making illegal copies were tested to be significantly different in individual characteristics such as experience of ethical education and past experience of making illegal copies of software, sex, age and household income. Thirdly, the effect of related factors such as psychological factors and individual characteristics was estimated to significantly influence moral judgment and intention to make illegal copies. Two step method(using LIMDEP program) was applied to estimate the model as a structural equation model. According to the results of this study, magnitude of consequences, financial risk and performance risk were found to be significantly different in income groups(less than middle class vs more than middle class). Prosecution risk was found to be significantly different in gender groups(female vs male). In addition, social consensus, financial risk, performance risk and prosecution risk were found to be significantly different in ethical education groups(experience vs no experience).

국내에서 이뤄진 건강관련 삶의 질 관련 연구는 대부분 신체활동과 질환 간의 관계를 살피거나, 스트레스나 우울증과 삶의 질 간의 관계만을 살피는데 한정되어 있었다. 그러나, 스트레스와 같은 감정상태가 신체활동을 통한 건강관련 삶의 질에 미치는 영향에 관한 체계적인 실증연구는 아직 이루어지지 않고 있다. 이에 본 연구에서는 2008~2013년도 국민건강영양조사(KNHANES)자료를 토대로, 스트레스와 신체활동에 따른 건강관련 삶의 질 간의 관련성을 분석하였다. 이를 위해 교차분석과 집단별 로지스틱회귀분석을 수행하였다. 분석결과, 스트레스 비경험 군에서 남녀 모두 고강도 신체활동에 비하여 저강도 신체활동 수행시 삶의 질 수준이 낮아졌다(남: OR=1.15 p<0.001, 여: OR=1.18 p<0.001). 그러나, 스트레스 경험군에서는 남자는 스트레스 비경험군과 동일하게 저강도 신체활동 수행시 삶의 질 수준이 낮아졌지만(OR=1.79 p<0.01), 여자의 경우에는 오히려 삶의 질 수준이 높아졌다(OR=1.18 p<0.05). 이를 통해 스트레스에 따라 신체활동 수준이 건강관련 삶의 질에 미치는 영향에 차이가 있음을 발견하였다.

Purpose - This study explores the contextual factors that affect the relationship between CEO overseas experience and firm internationalization. This study incorporates a wide range of contextual factors, including mega, macro, and micro variables. In particular, this study goes a step further from prior studies by incorporating a higher-order variable i.e., the global financial crisis that can constrain the managerial discretion of a CEO. Design/methodology - To structure the balanced data set before and after the 2008 global financial crisis, we used the data for the years from 2002 to 2014 from a sample of Korean manufacturing firms. Ultimately, 1101 firm-year unbalanced panel observations from 101 firms were used for the analysis. Findings - Our main findings can be summarized as follows. CEO overseas experience is positively related to firm internationalization. However, this relationship varies depending on the CEOs level of managerial discretion. As for the constraining moderation, the global financial crisis weakened the positive relationship between CEO overseas experience and firm internationalization. As for the enabling moderation, the CEOs tenure strengthened the relationship. Originality/value - This study adopted the knowledge, skills, and abilities (KSA) framework to explain the relationship between CEO overseas experience and firm internationalization. Moreover, we argue that the CEO-internationalization relationship depends on the specific context of the managerial discretion, focusing on the 2008 global financial crisis. Empirically, this study adopted the 2SLS procedure to correct endogeneity. Instead of taking the actual value of prior internationalization as a control, we estimated prior internationalization using the instrument variables at an industry level. This procedure made our estimation more robust.

This paper aims to investigate the impact of chief executive officer's (CEO) attributes on firms' performance. Specifically, it examines the influence of CEOs' education, professional experience, and tenure on Saudi firms' performance. We look at a sample of 120 listed firms on Tadawul stock exchange from 2014 to 2017. Data on financial and accounting variables are obtained from the annual reports of the selected companies. We follow the existing empirical literature and use a panel model and formulate three different equations using the GMM estimator. Findings prove that CEO educational background does matter. In particular, companies employing CEOs with business administration, economics, finance, or accounting degree will perform outstandingly better. Similarly, stock performance gets improved when the CEO has a postgraduate qualification, i.e., when the CEO holds an MBA, a master, or a PhD degree. Besides, results reveal that executives who have an experience in a related field will positively affect the firm's performance. Finally, evidence shows that high CEOs tenure improves corporate performance. Overall, these findings demonstrate that executives' attributes are key factors that would explain differences in Saudi firms' performance. These results would help shareholders to make the right decision in selecting CEOs to manage the company.
