This study aims to verify culture-universal invariances and culture-particular differences in the relationship of job stress, flourishing, and job engagement. For this purpose, we selected a global korean company having a local corporation in China in order to minimize the influence of organizational factor and a self-report questionnaire survey was conducted by 141 personnels of head office and 107 personnels of chinese branch. At first, the mediating effect of flourishing on the relationship between job stress and job engagement was significant for both korean and chinese personnel. Second, regression analyses were conducted in order to demonstrate influence of detailed job stress on flourishing and job engagement. As for flourishing, decision making and responsibility factor was significant for korean personnel, and lack of social support factor and job characteristic factor were significant for chinese personnel. Regarding job engagement, lack of social support factor and job characteristic factor were significant for both two samples and decision making and responsibility factor was significant for korean personnel whereas non-significant for chinese personnel. The results could give a meaningful perspectives to companies interested in extending their business abroad.

The purpose of this study is to examine the impact of Ethical Leadership on job engagement, organizational commitment and unethical pro-organizational behavior and to analyze the dual mediation effect of job engagement and organizational commitment. We used 565 questionnaires collected by members in domestic companies. The result of the analyses are as follows: First, Ethical Leadership has no positive effect on unethical pro-organizational behavior. Second, in the relationship between Ethical Leadership and unethical pro-organizational behavior, job engagement does not play a mediating role, but organizational commitment plays a mediating role. Third, in the relationship between Ethical Leadership and unethical pro-organizational behavior, job engagement and organizational commitment play a dual mediating role. The theoretical implication is that this study once again confirmed the behavior patterns such as cognition, emotion, attitude and behavior of members in the organization. In addition, this study can contribute to theoretical expansion by explaining that these behavior patterns are identified by social exchange theory. The practical implication is that this study confirmed that members in the actual management field are willing to perform unethical pro-organizational behavior in order to achieve the organization's goal efficiently and effectively. Therefore, it is suggested that active efforts should be made to recognize these negative influences and possibilities at the organization level and to create a clean and fair organizational culture and environment that everyone can recognize at the social level.

Archives identify and preserve records created by society. By making them available to people, archives can be a means of support to the community. The purpose of this study is to develop a model to measure the social impact of archives. Reviewing findings from previous research on the social impact of archives, this study's model is based on the logic model, an outcome-based evaluation model, given that impact is not only followed by outcomes but can be the outcome itself. The scope of social impact is limited to community empowerment in terms of the applicability of the suggested model. The model, which includes short-, medium-, and long-term outcomes, could be used to measure changes in the knowledge, attitudes, and skills of archive users, and the social engagement of the people who experienced those changes in the community. The proposed model could include final outcomes that indicate the increase of community empowerment according to the civil society engagement. It is expected that the model is validated through applying quantitative and qualitative methodologies to measure the social impact of archives.

With the development of Internet and mobile technology and the spread of social media, a large amount of information is being generated and distributed online. Some of them are useful information for the public, but others are misleading information. The misleading information, so-called 'fake news', has been causing great harm to our society in recent years. Since the global spread of COVID-19 in 2020, much of fake news has been distributed online. Unlike other fake news, fake news related to COVID-19 can threaten people's health and even their lives. Therefore, intelligent technology that automatically detects and prevents fake news related to COVID-19 is a meaningful research topic to improve social health. Fake news related to COVID-19 has spread rapidly through social media, however, there have been few studies in Korea that proposed intelligent fake news detection using the information about how the fake news spreads through social media. Under this background, we propose a novel model that uses Graph2vec, one of the graph embedding methods, to effectively detect fake news related to COVID-19. The mainstream approaches of fake news detection have focused on news content, i.e., characteristics of the text, but the proposed model in this study can exploit information transmission relationships in social engagement networks when detecting fake news related to COVID-19. Experiments using a real-world data set have shown that our proposed model outperforms traditional models from the perspectives of prediction accuracy.

Public sectors around the world utilize social media tools and technologies in their daily activities for a variety of purposes, including disseminating useful information, fostering mass collaboration, and enforcing laws and regulations. A number of social media-based government stage models have emerged to document this use. In this chapter, we conducted a qualitative meta-synthesis of four social media-based government models. These models include 1) the open government maturity model, 2) the social media utilization model, 3) the adoption process for social media, and 4) the social media-based engagement model. The concepts, metaphors, and themes contained in these developmental models are extracted through a series of in-depth semantic analyses of descriptions, resulting in a common frame of reference.

Consumers are now no longer satisfied with using a single channel to shop and then desire a smooth and consistent purchasing experience across channels. By integrating different channels and services, an omni-channel strategy allows consumers to choose their preferred channel to complete their shopping tasks. Therefore, large retailers in China have recently been transforming into omni-channel retail formats to secure their competitive advantage. To better implement this strategy and optimize its effectiveness, it is important to understand how consumers respond to the quality of channel integration. Based on social exchange theory (SET), the main purposes of this study are to explore the impact of channel integration quality on consumer engagement in the Chinese omni-channel retailing environment and to further examine whether there is a moderating effect of consumer empowerment on this relationship. To test this research model, we collected data from 330 respondents by conducting an online questionnaire in China. The results indicated that the two dimensions of channel integration (breadth of channel-service choice and transparency of channel-service configuration) positively affected two dimensions of customer engagement (conscious attention and enthusiastic participation), respectively. The findings also show that consumer empowerment only positively moderates the relationship between breadth of channel service choice and conscious attention, whereas it negatively moderates the relationship between transparency of channel-service configuration and conscious attention/enthusiastic participation. Given these results, this study deepens our understanding of the impact of the quality of channel integration on customer engagement in the context of omni-channel retailing in China and sheds light on how retailers can attract consumers with different levels of empowerment.

This study aims to contribute to overcoming difficulties that disability assistance workers experience by verifying the effect of job stress and self-efficacy on their turnover intentions, and whether job engagement has a mediating effect in the process. For this purpose, a survey was performed on 290 disability assistance workers associated with disability support organizations in the Seoul and Gyeonggi area during the period of 2019.5.1.-2019.6.30. The collected survey data was analyzed with the SPSS 24.0 statistical software, the results of which are as follows. First, job stress and self-efficacy appears to affect job engagement. High levels of conflict and maladjustment in the workplace had adverse effects on job engagement, while high levels of emotional, evaluative, and informational support had positive effects. Second, job stress and self-efficacy also had an effect on turnover intentions. High levels of conflict, instability, and maladjustment in the workplace led to a higher level of turnover intentions. Third, job engagement had a mediating effect between job stress and turnover intentions. Fourth, job engagement had no mediating effect between self-efficacy and turnover intentions. These results serve to propose practical measures to reduce the job stress and improve the job engagement of disability assistance workers.
