This study investigates happy life experiences and their emotional responses to these experiences with a sample of Korean students and adults. A total of 489 Korean university students and adults completed an open-ended questionnaire developed by the present researchers. Three sets of results have been found. First, while experiences of achievement and failure affect the strength of feelings of happiness or unhappiness, social relationships with family members and friends affect the frequency of feelings of happiness or unhappiness. Second, while strong positive affects are aroused by sense of achievement and pride, frequent positive affects are aroused by feeling of calmness and positive relational emotions (such as Jung - deep affection and attachment). Third, while strong negative affects are aroused by sense of frustration and sadness, frequent negative affects are aroused by anxiety and negative relational emotions (such as the sense of indebtedness and shame). These results indicate that the interpersonal relationships with family members and friends and personal achievements and failures influence the subjective well-being of feeling happy or unhappy with people's lives.

The purpose of the this study is to analyze what business value orientations are more effective on the enhancement of productivity and performance indexes of IT companies. Especially we are interest in the moderate effect of business types such as IT manufacturing, IT services, and non-IT manufacturing companies. The empirical test results was somehow different from the theoretical researches. Customer orientation affects productivity directly and performance indexes indirectly. Whereas, technology innovation orientation didn't affects productivity and performance indexes directly, except IT services companies. Corporate social responsibility affects performance indexes directly, but not productivity. We could conclude that the type of business is an important moderator between business value orientations and enterprise performance factors.

This study attempted to identify the effect of the panel stiffness on the customers' affect, which was not addressed in the research field of affective engineering. For this, this study derived four affects related to the panel stiffness from literature and pre-experiment : hardness, deform consistency, thickness and satisfaction and prepared a questionnaire to evaluate the affects of the panel. In the experiment, 54 adults in the age of 20~50 participated and evaluated the affects of hood, front and rear door for nine full size and luxury sedans by pressing the panels with their hands. As results, participants' affect for the panels were significantly different depending on the force-deflection curves of them, and the subjects' satisfaction of the panels increased as the slope of the curve (stiffness) increases. In addition, it was found that the subjects evaluated the panel with the pressing force up to 14kgf. The findings of the study can be used to increase and control the affective quality of exterior panels on passenger cars.

Purpose This study investigates the effects of trust and distrust on intention to purchase in open market, based on the idea that trust and distrust can co-exist. Specifically, this study approached the effects of trust and distrust of the open market on the intention to purchase from a two-dimensional perspective, and examined trustworthiness as the antecedents of trust and distrust. Design/Methodology/Approach In this study, we conducted a questionnaire survey on consumers who have actually purchased a product from open markets in Korea for two months. As a result, 141 users are chosen for the sample. We apply PLS (Partial Least Squares) structural equation modeling (SEM) to verify our theoretical model using the software application SmartPLS 3.0. Findings First, trust in open market positively affects intention to purchase, whereas distrust in open market negatively affects intention to purchase. Second, the three antecedents of trust (i.e. three factors constituting trustworthiness such as ability, benevolence and integrity) affect trust in open market. Third, integrity negatively affects distrust in open market. Since integrity plays an important role in building both trust and distrust in open market, the operators of open market should pay attention to managing their integrity.

The electronic commerce of agricultural products provides benefits both to the farmers and the consumers because of direct transaction between producers and consumers. This study analyses the factors affecting consumer's purchase intention that are using electronic commerce. And the purpose of this study is to contribute to increasing the farmer's income while operating electronic commerce by applying the results of this analysis. Consumer's purchasing factors in electronic commerce were obtained through literature reviews. The research model is established with the factors and analyses through the structural equation model. The results are as following; the first is how the quality of agricultural products affects positively consumer's satisfaction and trust. When sufficient information about the seller and the products are provided in the shopping mall site there are positive effects on the consumer's satisfaction and trust. The factors of convenience like purchasing time, saving, delivery convenience affect positively consumer's satisfaction. However, the relationship with trust enhancement could not be confirmed. In addition, hypotheses of positive relationships between economic feasibility factors like low price, satisfaction and trust, were rejected. Finally, consumer's satisfaction affects trust, and both the consumer's satisfaction and trust affects positively the purchase intention. In summary, in the electronic commerce of agricultural products, consumers might use electronic commerce as they purchase the reliable high quality products directly from farmers rather than be affected by economic feasibility and convenience factors.

As a result of the correlation analysis, a significant positive correlation among all the measured variables was found. As a result of the structural model analysis, I found that the fair service among the variables of the service level significantly affects the building of relationship and the hospital image. The building of relationship and the hospital image significantly affect the positive oral spread. The building of relationship significantly affects the repurchase intentions but the hospital image does not affects the repurchase intentions.

I recommend that the hospital continues to motivate staffs through internal marketing and conduct regular trainings. It is necessary to have patients satisfied with broadening responsibility and authority and set marketing strategy for the relationship with patients.
