The Food-Service industry, especially the family restaurant so called 'people industry' have a high dependence on human resources. In spite of this importance of human resources, most family restaurant are facing lots of problems such as short of capital, weak financial support, not efficient interpersonal communication and so on. Under this circumstance like that in family restaurant, in which there is a higher importance of human resources to other industries as they are all front-line employers in response to customer demands, the studies on possible factors that affect the employees to be satisfied are highly required. This study was conducted to find out what possible factors affect the employees to be more satisfied, how they affect the employees and what relationship exists between the employee's job satisfaction. This study was intended to develop the most efficient people management in family restaurant. The study was followed up with factor analysis and correspondent analysis as well as regression analysis in order to find out the difference among the individual characteristic variables and to verify the hypotheses.

This study identified the characteristics of the subculture aspects that led to the success of luxury brands and analyzed the implications of those aspects. For this, semantic analysis in a socio-cultural context was performed. Additionally, this study took the theoretical background, the change in subculture and post-subculture, the digital youth generation, and the change in the meaning of subculture style into consideration. The subculture style aspect and its meaning in luxury fashion brands were analyzed as follows: First, there are challenges that betray the legitimacy or values of luxury brands. Through this, the brand gained recognition and increased sales, and the designer gained a reputation as an innovative creative director. It can be seen that more successful branding was promoted by securing a more subcultured fandom. Second, by combining subculture image fragments, these brands cater to the diverse tastes of a myriad of subcultures. This maximizes commercial profits. Third, most promotional marketing activities are collaborative and done digitally, which allows for a wider customer base, but the difference is in digital capabilities. Limited editions or application use on social networks can act as another driver. It is said that the distinction in high-priced luxury brands is not only driven by economic power but also by sub-cultural capital and digital ability.

The present study examines the impact of value co-creation on satisfaction and intention to adopt of e-resources among users. Four components of the DART model have been adopted to describe value co-creation. These components are dialogue, access, risk-assessment, and transparency. Ph.D. scholars and faculty members from National Capital Region, India, were requested to respond on a five-point Likert scale. A total of 220 responses were collected with the help of a structured questionnaire from respondents of the top 50 business schools according to National Institute Ranking Framework. These responses have been analysed by means of structured equation modelling on Adanco 2.2 software. Findings of the study reported the insignificant impact of access and risk-assessment, and positive impact of dialogue and transparency on satisfaction. Further, satisfaction has been identified, creating significant impact on adoption of e-resources. Such findings reflect the real picture of customer experience with respect to their role in co-creation of e-resources. Respondents have conveyed their dissatisfaction with the co-creation process of e-resources, as companies do not provide all the information and access to their customers beforehand. Consequently, customers fail to make informed decisions and also find themselves unable to show trust in the service providers of e-resources.

MSMEs encountered several issues during the COVID-19 pandemic, including decreased sales and capital, difficulties in distribution, trouble obtaining raw materials, decreased production, and employee layoffs. These issues posed a threat to the national economy. The final effect was the company's bankruptcy as a result of its failure to survive a pandemic, which led to the company's downfall. This research aims to find out and analyze MSMEs' business strategy and innovation to maintain their business during the COVID-19 pandemic in Indonesia. This research is qualitative. Researchers got data using interviews, observation, and documentation. The analysis of this research is descriptive. To draw customers during the COVID-19 pandemic, MSMEs use social media or digital marketing, followed by the delivery of orders, promotions, or discounts and the creation of freebies. MSMEs develop new products as part of their ongoing efforts to expand their businesses while upholding standards for quality, value, and customer service. They also adapt to changing consumer tastes and popular food trends while showcasing some of their most intriguing products.

The purpose of this study is to examine the role of virtual community participation and engagement in the brand decision by building community and brand trust. In this study, two theories (Social Capital Theory and Theory of Collective Action) were tested. Both theories were linked based on existing literature, and empirical evidence was obtained through testing hypotheses. Students from five prestigious Pakistani business schools provided a total of 849 replies. The measurement model and structural model were both analyzed using the partial least square (PLS) method. The findings show that virtual community engagement and participation have a positive and significant impact on virtual community trust. Although virtual community engagement has a positive effect on brand trust, we found no evidence of a link between virtual community participation and brand trust. Later, these trusts positively influence brand choice. This study has several managerial implications. The suggested model of this study helps managers to get customers' insight, choose the right target market, and set integrated marketing communication strategies besides social media marketing strategies. The study represents a new perspective of consumer behavior that helps to understand how a customer behaves in virtual communities to trust and take the final decision to purchase.

This study focuses on testing the validity of dimensions of restaurants' menu prices. In addition, the effect of demographic variables on the perception of each price dimension was investigated. The subjects were people living in the capital region who have, at least on occasion, gone to family restaurants. The data were collected by self-administered questionnaires and analyzed by factor analysis, reliability analysis, confirmatory factor analysis, and the ANOVA t-test. The results were that consumers' perception of restaurant menu prices is not uni-dimensional, but has six dimensions: price-price schema, pricequality schema, value consciousness, low price proneness, price mavenism, sales proneness. Demographic variables partially affect the consumers' perception of each menu price dimension. The result of the t-test examining dimensions of price according to the demographic characteristic was that females have a higher sales proneness than males. The t-test result according to marriage indicated that married people were higher in price-price schema and quality proneness than unmarrieds. ANOVA according to age indicated that people between ages of 20 to 29 have a higher quality proneness than those of other ages.

Financial firms, especially large scaled firms such as KB bank, NH bank, Samsung Card, Hana SK Card, Hyundai Capital, Shinhan Card, etc. should be securely dealing with the personal financial information. Indeed, people have tended to believe that those big financial companies are relatively safer in terms of information security than typical small and medium sized firms in other industries. However, the recent incidents of personal information privacy invasion showed that this may not be true. Financial firms have increased the investment of information protection and security, and they are trying to prevent the information privacy invasion accidents by doing all the necessary efforts. This paper studies how effectively a financial firm will be able to avoid personal financial information privacy invasion that may be deliberately caused by internal staffs. Although there are several literatures relating to information security, to our knowledge, this is the first study to focus on the behavior of internal staffs. The big financial firms are doing variety of information security activities to protect personal information. This study is to confirm what types of such activities actually work well. The primary research model of this paper is based on Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB) that describes the rational choice of human behavior. Also, a variety of activities to protect the personal information of financial firms, especially credit card companies with the most customer information, were modeled by the four-step process Security Action Cycle (SAC) that Straub and Welke (1998) claimed. Through this proposed conceptual research model, we study whether information security activities of each step could suppress personal information abuse. Also, by measuring the morality of internal staffs, we checked whether the act of information privacy invasion caused by internal staff is in fact a serious criminal behavior or just a kind of unethical behavior. In addition, we also checked whether there was the cognition difference of the moral level between internal staffs and the customers. Research subjects were customer call center operators in one of the big credit card company. We have used multiple regression analysis. Our results showed that the punishment of the remedy activities, among the firm's information security activities, had the most obvious effects of preventing the information abuse (or privacy invasion) by internal staff. Somewhat effective tools were the prevention activities that limited the physical accessibility of non-authorities to the system of customers' personal information database. Some examples of the prevention activities are to make the procedure of access rights complex and to enhance security instrument. We also found that 'the unnecessary information searches out of work' as the behavior of information abuse occurred frequently by internal staffs. They perceived these behaviors somewhat minor criminal or just unethical action rather than a serious criminal behavior. Also, there existed the big cognition difference of the moral level between internal staffs and the public (customers). Based on the findings of our research, we should expect that this paper help practically to prevent privacy invasion and to protect personal information properly by raising the effectiveness of information security activities of finance firms. Also, we expect that our suggestions can be utilized to effectively improve personnel management and to cope with internal security threats in the overall information security management system.

4차 산업혁명 시대에 서비스기업에서도 각기 다른 다양한 차별화 정책을 내세우고 있다. 기존까지 단순하게 고객을 만족시켜 매출을 높이기위한 방법이 아닌 좀 더 원시안적 시각을 갖고 서비스를 제공하는 직원들의 마인드와 그들이 느끼는 환경에 대한 중요성이 점차 커지고 있다. 서비스기업은 궁극적으로 고객만족, 품질향상, 가치 있는 경영 등 긍정적인 경영성과를 나타내기 위하여 끊임없는 노력을 기울이고 있으며 다른 산업에 비하여 직원에 대한 높은 의존도를 가지고 있다. 따라서 고객들을 직접적으로 응대해야하는 서비스제공자인 직원의 마음가짐과 부여된 환경, 역량 등이 직 간접적으로 고객만족 및 성과에 큰 영향을 미칠 수 있다. 궁극적인 조직의 성과를 높이고 경쟁우위를 갖추기 위해서는 결국 서비스 제공자인 직원들에 대하여 개인역량 개발, 근무환경 지원 등 다양한 형태의 사회적 지지가 중요하다고 할 수 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 사회적 지지가 서비스종사원의 긍정심리자본, 창의성, 직무성과에 미치는 영향에 관한 연구에 대한 후속연구로 서비스프로세스 메트릭스 가운데 대량서비스영역인 도매점, 소매점, 학교, 은행 등에 종사하는 직원들을 대상으로 동료지지가 자기 효능감을 통하여 성과에 어떠한 영향을 주는지 살펴보았으며, 그 결과 총 3개의 가설 중 3개 모두 채택되었다. 동료와 전반적인 관계가 원활해지면 자기 효능감 또한 향상되고, 자기효능감이 높을수록 직무성과도 높게 나타나며, 동료와 업무적으로나 업무이외에 전반적으로 의지할 수 있다고 느끼는 경우 직무성과도 높게 나타나는 것을 알 수 있다. 본 연구는 대량서비스영역에 종사하는 직원들을 실증분석 대상으로 한 관련연구는 전무한 실정으로 지금까지 연구와는 좀 더 다른 관점으로 접근하여 서비스기업의 경쟁력을 높이기 위한 인적자원관리 측면에서의 전략을 좀 더 효율적이고 효과적으로 제시하여 관련 시사점을 제시하고자 한다.

SaaS는 사용자가 필요한 소프트웨어를 인터넷을 통해 원격으로 서비스 받을 수 있도록 하는 모델로 소프트웨어 시장에서 차지하는 비중이 커짐과 동시에 관련 분야의 비즈니스 요구사항의 증가에 따라 지속적인 성장이 기대되는 분야이다. 이에 본 연구는 SaaS 공급업체들을 대상으로 기업에서 추구하는 차별화 전략 및 낮은 가격전략과 고객획득성과와의 관계를 살펴보고 더 나아가 이들 간의 관계에서 SaaS 기술성숙도 수준의 매개효과와 조절효과를 알아보고자 하였다. 이를 위해 SaaS 제공업체 및 국내 CNK(commerce net Korea) 데이터베이스에 등록된 업체의 어플리케이션을 대상으로, 175개 기업 총 199개 SaaS 전략사업단위의 설문결과를 분석에 활용하였다. SaaS 기술성숙도가 차별화전략 및 낮은가격전략과 고객획득성과와의 관계를 매개하는지 검증하기 위해 Baron and Kenny (1986)가 제안한 절차에 따라 회귀분석을 실시하였고, SaaS 기술성숙도의 조절효과를 살펴보기 위해 위계적 회귀분석(hierarchical regression analysis) 방법을 적용한 상호작용효과를 검증하였다. 분석결과, 첫째, SaaS 제공업체가 추구하는 차별화 전략(업종특화, 파트너활용, 전담인력수) 및 낮은 가격전략(월이용료, 초기설치비)과 같은 기업전략은 고객획득에 긍정적인 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 또한, SaaS 공급업체의 기술성숙도 수준(어플리케이션 서비스 제공, 웹 기본 어플리케이션, 웹 서비스 어플리케이션)과 고객 획득성과 간에 유의미한 긍정적인 관계가 있는 것으로 확인되었다. 마지막으로, SaaS 기술성숙도 수준의 기업전략과 고객획득성과와의 관계에 대한 조절효과는 주로 차별화 전략에 대해 나타난 반면, 매개효과는 주로 낮은 가격전략에 대해 나타남을 확인하였다.
