The purpose of this study is to analyze the effects of strategic roles of IS and characteristics of ISP on the performance of ISP in view of contingency theory. In particular, this study is to find out whether there is a fit between two contingent variables. To evaluate the effects of two independent variables on the dependent variable empirically, a field research method using questionnaires with depth interview was employed. Findings of the field study are as follows: First, the main effect of strategic roles of IS on performance of ISP is found to be significant. This implies that the higher the strategic importance of IS, the better the performance of ISP expected. Second, the effect of characteristics of ISP on the dependent variable is also found to be significant. Organizations which recognize IT as an important competitive weapon for their business, and adopt Technological and Organizational approaches in ISP, have shown to obtain excellent results. Third, the interaction effect of two contingent variables is not found. There is no evidence for a fit between the strategic roles of IS and the characteristics of ISP. This shows that the differences of ISP performance are to be explained by only independent effect of two contingent variables.

IT convergence services, as the main stream of the digital age, are currently on their way to include the concept of Software as a Service (SaaS), where IT products and services are integrated as one. In particular, the recently introduced web-service-based SaaS is expected to be a more developed SaaS model. This new model provides greater influence on clients' job performances than its previous models, such as application service providers and the web-native phase. However, the effects of technology maturity on task performance have been overlooked in adoption and performance studies. Accordingly, this study introduces SaaS technology maturity as the exogenous technological characteristic influencing job performance. This study also examines the relationships among various SaaS-related performances according to the different levels of SaaS maturity. Results suggest that applying innovative technologies (such as SaaS), particularly when the technology reaches a certain level of maturity, is more helpful for managers in improving task-technology fit and job performance. This study makes an academic contribution by establishing and validating a performance model empirically with SaaS technology maturity perspectives.

This paper introduces a low cost, high efficiency, high performance three-phase unified power quality conditioner (UPQC) by using four-switch three-phase inverters (FSTPIs) and an extra capacitor in the shunt active power filter (APF) side of the UPQC. In the proposed UPQC, both shunt and series APFs are developed by using FSTPIs so that the number of switching devices is reduced from twelve to eight devices. In addition, by inserting an additional capacitor in series with the shunt APF, the DC-link voltage in the proposed UPQC can also be greatly reduced. As a result, the system cost and power loss of the proposed UPQC is significantly minimized thanks to the use of a smaller number of power switches with a lower rating voltage without degrading the compensation performance of the UPQC. Design of passive components for the proposed UPQC to achieve a good performance is presented in detail. In addition, comparisons on power loss, overall system efficiency, compensation performance between the proposed UPQC and the traditional one are also determined in this paper. Simulation and experimental studies are performed to verify the validity of the proposed topology.

Korea is characterized by a high R&D expenditure rate to the GDP. The performance of R&D in Korea, however, hardly seems to be satisfied. The purpose of this study is to investigate the influence of strategic resources and community engineering on R&D performance in bio-tech industry in Korea. The results of the study show strategic resources and community engineering are determinants of technological outcome. The strategic resources have a Significant positive effect on economic impact whereas community engineering has no Significant effect. In addition, the study results reveal that there is no moderating effect of strategic resources on the relation between community engineering and R&D performance. The major limitations of the study are on the measure of the variables.

In this study, based on the results that cooperation increases innovation or increases innovation performance in the same region, the result is that the effects of cooperation in the same region will be more effective, thus starting with the assumption that the innovation performance will be higher. The analysis results showed that the collaborative experience in the same region greatly increases the results of innovation, indicating that the location of cooperative targets in cooperation could be an important decision factor. The implications of this result are that it could have a significant impact on a company's innovation performance. This means that the country's industrial policy should be established in the direction of cluster formation.

This research examined the mediation effect of Workforce Agility (WA) on the relationship between environmental uncertainty and operational performance. We manipulated the control variables that are known to be affected by employment flexibility. Employment flexibility is caused by idiosyncratic characteristics of Korean port system. The analysis was tested by Baron & Kenny's method. The result indicates that each path of the proposed model is significant. Furthermore, the mediation effect was checked with the Sobel Test. The research revealed that environment uncertainty poses an indirect effect on operational performance. Both supply/demand uncertainty and technological uncertainty affected operational performance through the mediation effect of WA. Most of the distribution centers located in Busan Newport Distripark are operated in a bimodal labor (human resource) system which includes both permanent employees (workers) and temporary employees (workers). This empirical research provides theoretical and managerial implications by suggesting ways to increase efficiency in distribution center operation through WA enhancement, and to improve the unloading labor system.

Big data analytics offers endless opportunities for operational enhancement by extracting valuable insights from complex voluminous data. Hadoop is a comprehensive technological suite which offers solutions for the large scale storage and computing needs of Big data. The performance of Hadoop is closely tied with its configuration settings which depends on the cluster capacity and the application profile. Since Hadoop has over 190 configuration parameters, tuning them to gain optimal application performance is a daunting challenge. Our approach is to extract a subset of impactful parameters from which the performance enhancing sub-optimal configuration is then narrowed down. This paper presents a statistical model to analyze the significance of the effect of Hadoop parameters on a variety of performance metrics. Our model decomposes the total observed performance variation and ascribes them to the main parameters, their interaction effects and noise factors. The method clearly segregates impactful parameters from the rest. The configuration setting determined by our methodology has reduced the Job completion time by 22%, resource utilization in terms of memory and CPU by 15% and 12% respectively, the number of killed Maps by 50% and Disk spillage by 23%. The proposed technique can be leveraged to ease the configuration tuning task of any Hadoop cluster despite the differences in the underlying infrastructure and the application running on it.

Previous research has shown that employees tend to react more positively to corrective feedback from supervisors to the extent they perceive that they were treated with empathy, respect, and concern towards fair interpersonal treatment in receiving the feedback information. Then, to facilitate effective supervisory feedback and coaching, it would be useful for organizations to monitor the contents of feedback exchanges between supervisors and employees to make sure that supervisors are providing performance feedback using languages that are more likely to be perceived as interpersonally fair. Computer-aided text analysis holds potential as a useful tool that organizations can use to efficiently monitor the quality of the feedback messages that supervisors provide to their employees. In the current study, we applied computer-aided text analysis (using closed-vocabulary text analysis) and machine learning to examine the validity of language-based algorithms trained on supervisor language in performance feedback situations for predicting human ratings of feedback interpersonal fairness. Results showed that language-based algorithms predicted feedback interpersonal fairness with reasonable level of accuracy. Our findings provide supportive evidence for the promise of using employee language data for managing (and improving) performance management in organizations.
