Growth in the outsourcing market signals that firms of all sizes believe outsourcing will ultimately deliver many benefits and conveniences. But there are not many firms satisfied with the results of outsourcing. What is more, previous researches were fragmentary analyses focused on specific variables of outsourcing such as sourcing decisions, partnership rather than comprehensive analysis. Thus, they could not propose general systematic methodologies applicable to the real situation. To solve these problems, we developed an integrated theoretical framework that considered both contract with the hard side and trust with the soft side from a contingency viewpoint and tested this model using 143 data of Korean companies executing outsourcing. In addition, we examined how situational factors(outsourcing task complexity and outsourcing management competence) affects each path in the research model. The results of this study are as follows. First, it was proved the theory that trust is not a substitute for contract but its complement. Previous empirical studies on outsourcing success factors were focused on the establishment of successful partnership on the assumption that trust can replace contract in many situations. According to the results of our empirical analysis, however, contract and trust were in a mutually complementary relation with each other and their emphasis was different. Furthermore, different from previous researches, it was found effective to use trust as a supplementary tool and contract as a main means in outsourcing management strategy. Second, this study provided an integrated view that sees both contract and trust from a contingency viewpoint in theoretically reestablishing the relationship between contract and trust. Previous researches leaned to specific variables or theory-centered fragmentary analysis, but this study proposed a more practical and integrated research model and tested its effectiveness. Based on the results, with the model, decision makers are expected to scrutinize outsourcing situation more closely and to have a practical insight to the situation. Third, it was found that contract mechanism and trust building do not have a direct effect on outsourcing performance but relationship management intensity mediates the effect of contract mechanism and trust building. This is considered significantly meaningful to outsourcing partners who have believed that outsourcing would be successful if a contract is made properly or trust is built. Lastly, the path from trust building to relationship management intensity was moderated by informed buying, as the path coefficients from trust building to relationship management intensity varied by the degree of informed buying competence.

The effective management of knowledge has become one of the critical success factors in current organizations. In spite of the extensive use of Knowledge Management System (KMS), useful information and knowledge resources are still transmitted through personal networks among people in organizations. Thus, social network theory which focuses on social relationships in organization can be a fruitful theoretical resource for enhancing Knowledge Management (KM) performances. In this study, we investigate the effects of intra-team network characteristics (i.e., group density and degree of centralization) and external boundary spanning activities on knowledge management performances of a team. We also acknowledge that all group members do not necessarily agree on the team goal and actively disseminate useful information and knowledge. Drawing on the political perspective on KM which emphasizes the role of trust among group members, we examine the mediating effects of team trust between internal/external network characteristics and KM performances. From the data of 220 teams in financial companies in Korea, we found that: (1) group density had positive effects on KM performances (i.e., knowledge creation, sharing, and use). (2) However, centralization was not significantly associated with KM performances. (3) Team trust was found to be an important factor mediating the relationship between intra-team network characteristics, boundary spanning activities, and KM performances. Based on these results, we discuss and suggest possible implications of the findings when designing and implementing KM practices.

We are going to make clear three things through the examination of the subject of this study. The first thing is to verify whether perceived usefulness and ease of use of usage have positive effects on trust and satisfaction which determine the loyalty of a shopping mall. The second Is to find out the effect of perceived usefulness and ease of use of using internet shopping mall on shopping mall's loyalty through variable intermediation of trust and satisfaction. The third is to emphasize the importance of perceived usefulness and ease of use of using a shopping mall web sites and carrying out a through analyzing path that usefulness and ease of use are intermediated by trust and satisfaction to loyalty. We made a poll to people who had ever used internet shopping mall and got Information. The results are below. The easer internet shopping mail users feel when using shopping mall sites, the more they feel them useful. Perceived usefulness and ease of use of usage have positive effects on trust and satisfaction which are major preceding factors of Internet shopping mall loyalty. The perceived ease of use, trust, and satisfaction intermediate between the perceived ease of use and shopping mall's loyally while users are accepting internet shopping mali. And trust and satisfaction intermediate between the perceived usefulness and shopping mall's loyalty. These results show that the degree of usefulness and feeling easiness in using shopping mall of users should be considered seriously. The only easiness of shopping mall doesn't create shopping mail's loyalty, but, It's created when users acknowledge the usefulness, trust, and satisfy.

전자상거래에서 신뢰도는 전자상거래 서비스 제공업체의 비가시성이나 그들의 평판으로 인한 소비자의 우려를 완화시켜주기 때문에 사용자의 신뢰수준을 추정하는 것은 전자상거래의 지속적 사용에 있어 중요한 기술이다. 기존의 신뢰도 측정법은 주로 전자상거래 시스템에서 사용된 정책과 평판기반의 추론에 근거한 사용자들의 초기 경험에 중심을 두었다. 그러나, 보다 성숙된 단계의 전자상거래 시스템 지속사용 가능성 추정을 위한 신뢰도 측정에 대해서는 별다른 대안이 없었다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 성숙단계에서의 전자상거래 시스템에 알맞은 신뢰도 추론방법을 제안한다. 특히, 친밀도는 평판뿐 아니라 신뢰도와도 깊이 관계하고 있기 때문에 사용자의 입력을 강제하지 않는 친밀도 측정 방법을 새롭게 개발하였다. 성과 측정을 위한 실험에서는 제안된 방법이 유효하고, 평판기반의 신뢰도 추론과 함께 사용할 수 있는 것으로 나타났다.

Horizontal cooperation is seen as an effective way to raise a competitive advantage in logistics and transportation. However, there are many logistics enterprises still operating individually instead of cooperating. This research aims to investigate the factors influencing the decision of horizontal cooperation by surveying a large sample of Vietnamese logistics companies. This study employs 161 logistics companies to examine correlations between potential factors and horizontal collaboration. The structural equation model (SEM) was used to test the conceptual model and the relationships among variables. The findings revealed that information sharing was the most important predictor of 161 supply chain providers' horizontal collaboration decisions, which resulted in increased profitability or service quality. Besides, trust in partners was found to be positively related to the degree of horizontal cooperation among logistics companies. Finally, the finding of this research is that reputation had a positive effect on the strategy of horizontal cooperation. Our findings suggest that SME managers should be concerened about their information sharing, their reputation as well as their trust in partners if they would be invited in cooperation with another firm to increase service quality, performance, and competitive advantage.

Background: The government should find ways to improve the effectiveness of the policies to control the incidence and mortality of the infectious disease. The purpose of this study is to find out whether the trust in the government's ability to respond to coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) affects the quarantine and hospitalization rate, incidence and mortality rates of COVID-19 and quarantine rules compliance in each region of Korea. Methods: The subject of this study is 250 regions (si·gun·gu) in Korea, and the 2020 Community Health Survey data from the Korea Disease Control and Prevention Agency (KDCA) was used for the trust in the government's ability to respond to COVID-19, quarantine and hospitalization rate and quarantine rules compliance. For the incidence and mortality of COVID-19 and community factors, data was obtained from KDCA and Korean Statistical Information Service. Path analysis was used to find out the degree of inter-variable influence, and community factors (socio-demographic factors, community health factors, and health behavior factors) were used as control variables. Results: The regional disparity in key variables showed that the late pandemic period cumulative incidence and mortality of COVID-19 were large, while the early pandemic period quarantine and hospitalization rate and quarantine rules compliance were small. Path analysis showed that when community factors were controlled, the trust in government was statistically significant in all of the late pandemic period cumulative incidence (p=0.024) and mortality (p=0.017), and quarantine rules compliance (p=0.011). Conclusion: This study revealed that the higher the trust in the government's ability to respond to COVID-19, the lower the COVID-19 mortality and the higher the quarantine rules compliance at the regional level in Korea. This suggests that when the government implements healthcare policies to control infectious diseases, it is necessary to consider trust to improve policy compliance and control the mortality of the disease and maintain high trust through several effective methods.

본 논문에서는 영화 추천을 위해 사용자들이 명시적으로 표시한 신뢰 정보를 이용하여 소셜 네트워크와 유사하게 신뢰 네트워크를 생성하고, 그 사용자들의 연결 정도를 이용하여 추천 시스템에 적용하며, 추천 정보는 시각화 방법을 이용하여 제공하는 방법을 제안한다. 이를 통해 사용자가 명시적으로 신뢰 관계를 표현한 신뢰 네트워크에서 숨겨진 신뢰 관계를 추론한다. 시각화된 추천 정보는 영화, 음악, 인물 등 다양한 토픽에 대한 정보를 구조화된 형태로 제공하는 Freebase를 이용하였으며, 시각화 방법은 다음 3가지와 같다. (1) 사용자가 제공받고자 하는 영화의 수만큼 영화 포스터로 시각화하고, (2) 추천된 영화 중 특정 영화를 선택하면 영화 감독, 주연 배우, 장르 등의 부가적인 정보를 시각화하여 제공한다. 마지막으로 (3) 신뢰 기반의 사용자들 중 임의로 몇 명을 이웃 사용자로 선택하여 추천한다. 본 논문에서는 시각화 방법을 적용함으로써 추천 수 또는 이웃 사용자의 수, 그리고 부가 정보 요청 등 사용자의 의견(요구)을 바탕으로 추천하기 때문에 사용자의 의사결정 능력을 향상시킬 수 있다. 뿐만 아니라 본 논문에서 제안하는 추천 시각화 방법을 통해 동적으로 사용자들의 요구를 반영할 수 있고, Freebase, LinkedMDB, 위키피디아 등 현존하는 LOD의 정보 재사용을 통해 보다 풍부하게 추천 정보를 제공할 수 있다.
