This study examined consumer attitudes and intentions to participate in reward-based crowdfunding projects for fashion products. We focused on consumer innovation, price sensitivity, conformity, and consumer values as factors that might influence such attitudes and intentions. A survey was conducted with 228 individuals aged 18 years and older who are aware of or have had experience using crowdfunding. Respondents were asked to answer questions based on the example of actual fashion crowdfunding projects. To analyze the data, reliability tests, the generation of descriptive statistics, factor analysis, and multiple regression were performed using SPSS 25.0. The results revealed that consumer innovativeness, non-conforming tendency, and emotional, quality, social, and ethnical consumer values had a significant influence on attitudes, which in turn affected intentions to participate in crowdfunding. Consumer innovativeness, price sensitivity, emotional value, and social value also had a direct influence on intentions to participate. In addition to its academic contribution, this study has important marketing implications for project initiators striving to identify and understand consumers who are willing to participate in reward-based crowdfunding for fashion products.

This study examines the organizational performance of human service organizations from the quality output perspective. Using the 2001 evaluation data about 89 community welfare centers in Seoul, this study attempts to identify the levels of the performance of human service organizations in Korea. This study also attempts to identify the factors that predict performance of human service organizations measured in terms of client satisfaction and experts' evaluation about the functioning of each center. Results are as follows: (1) when pooling 866 clients' satisfaction level into satisfaction score about each center, the average of client satisfaction about the centers is 3.42 at 4 points scale. (2) 41.6% of the community welfare centers is evaluated as "highly qualified" in its overall operation and functioning by the professional evaluation team, (3) the employee reward system(+), practice based on the program guideline manual(+), the portion of the government support grant in its budget(-), the overall employee salary level(-), the level of acquirement of program grants from external sources (-) are the predictors in explaining clients' satisfaction level, and (4) the level of professional expertise of the executive director(+), the level of professional supervision of middle managers(+), the employee reward system(+), the program need assessment(+), the level of client information system(+), the portion of government support grant(-), the overall employee salary level(-) are the predictors for "being highly qualified" in its overall operation and function of each center.

In the last few years, a new type of synchronous social networking services (SNSs) has emerged—social live streaming services (SLSSs). Studying SLSSs is a new and exciting research field in information science. What information behaviors do users of live streaming platforms exhibit? In our empirical study we analyzed information production behavior (i.e., broadcasting) as well as information reception behavior (watching streams and commenting on them). We conducted two quantitative investigations, namely an online survey with YouNow users (N = 123) and observations of live streams on YouNow (N = 434). YouNow is a service with video streams mostly made by adolescents for adolescents. YouNow users like to watch streams, to chat while watching, and to reward performers by using emoticons. While broadcasting, there is no anonymity (as in nearly all other WWW services). Synchronous SNSs remind us of the film The Truman Show, as anyone has the chance to consciously broadcast his or her own life real-time.

Objectives : The purpose of this study was to compare the characteristics of nursing work environments based on department type and to investigate the relationship between work environment and job satisfaction. Methods : The participants were 420 nurses from the ward, emergency room, intensive care unit, and operation room. The data were analyzed by descriptive statistics, ANOVA, Scheffe's test, and multiple regression test using the SPSS Win. 18.0 program. Results : The results were as follows: There was a significant difference in possibilities for development, meaning of work, recognition(reward), role clarity, and social community at work based on department type. The factors that influenced job satisfaction were influence, meaning of work, recognition(reward), role conflicts, and quality of leadership and these differed based on department type. Conclusions : The results of this study indicate that nursing work environments vary based on the type of hospital department. Therefore, it is necessary to develop diverse strategies for human resource management considering the type of department.

As brand is increasingly important as a competitive source and information and communication technology based on Internet is rapidly advanced, many companies have paid attention to online brand community that is expected to help strengthen the customer's awareness on their products and services. This study suggests four factors-interaction, purpose, playfulness, reward-that facilitate online brand community commitment, and examines the effect of online brand community commitment on brand loyalty from the perspective of social identity theory. For this purpose, 243 sample data were collected from three online brand community sites and the proposed research model was empirically tested using LISREL 8.7 based on structural equation model. In conclusion, this study proposed theoretical and practical implications along with its limitations and future studies.

Nowadays, crowdsourcing has become a popular concept and is widely used in many social, economical and technological areas. For consumer product design, crowdsourcing is implemented extensively with many cases. Although there has been a lot of research on the application of crowdsourcing for product design, the big picture of how factors influence the participartion of individuals from the crowd in a crowdsourcing project for product design has not yet been understood. This paper aims to investigate the relationships of crowd participation and influencing factors including: process, product, and reward. To do this, we conducted a survey on a crowd of engineering individuals and analyzed the collected data with data mining techniques. Main findings include the relationships of crowd participation versus process, product, and reward factors as well as regression models to predict crowd participation.

본 연구는 대학생의 자원봉사활동 활성화를 위해 자원봉사활동 지속의지에 미치는 참여동기 및 인정보상 요인들을 분석하였다. 이를 위해 자원봉사활동 참여경험이 있는 대학생 250명을 대상으로 1주일간 설문조사를 실시하고 결과를 분석하였다. 참여동기는 이타적 동기와 이기적 동기로, 인정보상은 사회경제적 인정보상, 교육문화적 인정보상 그리고 경제적 인정보상으로 범주화 하였다. 연구결과 참여동기는 이타적 동기와 이기적 동기가 혼재되어 있고, 인정보상은 대체로 사회심리적 인정보상은 높지만 경제적 인정보상 수준은 낮게 나타났다. 다중회귀분석 결과 참여동기 중 이타적 동기와 이기적 동기 모두, 그리고 인정보상 중에서는 사회심리적 인정보상과 경제적 인정보상이 자원봉사활동 지속의지에 긍정적인 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 이러한 결과를 바탕으로 참여동기 및 특히 경제적 인정보상 강화를 중심으로 대학생들의 자원봉사활동 활성화를 위한 정책적 및 실천적 함의를 논의하였다.

The current study attempts to provide the field of knowledge management with theoretical grounds from the perspective of social network, resource dependency, and institutional theory. Social network theory considers that knowledge management plays a critical role in organizational innovation through the process of knowledge sharing/creation, communication systems, and a cooperative culture and trust, whereas resource dependency perceives knowledge management as contributing to cost reduction through the process of knowledge capture/storage, database systems, and reward/incentive systems. Plus, from the perspective of institutionalization, this study discusses that organizations can not benefit from knowledge management if it is adopted with the motive of isomorphic change. Finally, this study compares and integrates the three perspectives, and discusses the implications and limitations.

본 연구는 경찰공무원들의 조직환경 및 직무특성, 보상유형 등의 제반요인들이 직무만족에 어떠한 영향을 미치는가에 관한 실증적 연구이다. 특히 우리나라 경찰의 지배적인 조직문화의 유형은 무엇이고 어떠한 보상유형이 경찰조직 및 경찰관개인의 직무만족에 어떠한 영향을 미치고 있는가를 파악하려는 데 그 목적이 있다. 경찰공무원의 직무만족 영향요인에 관해 실증적 연구를 수행한 결과로 첫째, 직무흥미, 사회인정, 조직응집, 경제적 보상에 대한 인식이 높을수록 직무만족도는 높아지는 경향을 보였고, 근무환경에 대한 인식이 높아질수록 직무만족도는 낮아지는 경향을 보이는 것으로 나타났고, 둘째, 직무만족 영향요인 중 직무흥미, 사회인정, 조직응집, 경제적 보상에 대한 인식이 높아질수록 직무만족도는 높아지는 경향이 있으며, 근무환경에 대한 인식은 직무만족도에 아무런 영향을 주지 못하는 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구결과를 바탕으로 경찰의 조직과 인사정책에 관한 정책적 제언의 함의점을 도출해 보면, 경찰공무원의 직무만족의 향상을 위해서는 사회적 보상과 경제적 보상에 대한 대책이 보다 강화되어야 할 것으로 보인다. 특히 사회적 보상요인의 각 요인인 직무흥미, 사회안정, 조직응집, 근무환경, 경제적 보상 등에 대한 대책이 필요하며, 경제적 보상요인 중 승진 및 징계 등에 관한 공정한 인사정책의 시행이 필요할 것이다.
