This study verified the effect of occupational value, as felt by new employees working in the food service industry, on turnover intent and also the moderating effect of perceived organizational support between occupational value and turnover intent. The analysis drew out the following results. First, the study verified that, among inherent values, only social commitment had a positive(+) direction of influence on turnover intent, and second, among extrinsic values, only face-saving and stability seeking had a positive(+) direction of influence on turnover intent. Third, as a result of verifying the effect of inherent values on turnover intent according to emotional support, the study revealed that turnover intent increased, as the perception of emotional support increased, on condition that the item, value of knowledge seeking, among inherent values, was perceived highly, On the other hand, if the item, relationship-centered, scored highly among inherent values, then the higher the perception of emotional support, the lower the turnover intent. Fourth, as a result of verifying the effect of extrinsic values on turnover intent according to emotional support, the study revealed that turnover intent decreased, as the perception of emotional support increased, on condition that the value of economic priority, among extrinsic values, was perceived highly. On the other hand, if the item, face-saving, scored highly among extrinsic values, then the higher the perception of emotional support, the higher the turnover intent. Fifth, as a result of verifying the differing effect of inherent values according to methodical support, the study revealed that turnover intent increased as the perception of methodical support increased, if the item, knowledge-seeking among inherent values was perceived highly. Sixth, as a result of verifying the differing effect of extrinsic values according to methodical support, the study revealed that turnover intent decreased as the perception of methodical support increased, if the item, economic priority among extrinsic values was perceived highly. On the other hand, if the item, face-saving, among extrinsic values, was perceived highly, the higher the perception of methodical support, the higher the turnover intent.

The purpose of this study is to assess the associations among person-environment fit, organizational citizenship behavior, organizational commitment and turnover intent in the foodservice industry. The study was administered to 306 Korean employees. The results indicated a positive relationship between person-environment fit, employees' organizational citizenship behavior and organizational commitment. However, person-environment fit did not have a significant, direct impact on their turnover intent. Thus, this study found an indirect influence via organizational citizenship behavior and organizational commitment. In addition, organizational citizenship behavior and organizational commitment were negatively associated with employees' intention to leave the organization. Limitations and future research directions are also discussed.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of organizational justice and dispositional affectivity on job satisfaction and intent to leave among nurses. Methods: The sample of this study consisted of 274 nurses from 2 general hospitals located in Incheon. Data were collected with self-administered questionnaires and were analyzed by hierarchical multiple regression. Results: Distributive and interactional justices had positive impacts on nurses' job satisfaction. Distributive, procedural and interactional justices had negative impacts on nurses' intent to leave. It was found out that positive affectivity significantly moderated the effect of interactional justice on job satisfaction while dispositional affectivity did not significantly moderate the effect of organizational justice on the intent to leave. Conclusion: The results imply that hospital administrators should pay attention to the dispositional affectivity of nurses to increase their job satisfaction. Further, hospital needs to maintain organizational justice to reduce nurses' turnover.

This paper has derived some problems relating to the use of letters of intent which are common occurrence in the international contracts after considering its nature and legal issues. As reviewed before, some problems may occur when a party has documented a stage in the negotiations by letters of intent. Such documents may well explicitly spell out if, and to what extent, the parties should be bound by what they have already agreed or to carry on negotiations in order to reach the final contract. But if the documents are silent, some problems would arise. Contracting parties are therefore well advised to spell out if, and to what extent, they should be bound by such preliminary agreements. Here again, it might be prudent to explicitly set forth that the parties should not be bound until there is a final written contract signed by authorized representatives of the parties but that they shall abstain from such measures which may defeat their stated objective to reach final agreement, for example, by diminishing the value of performance under the contemplated contract.

This study is designed to collaboratively investigate the influences of the characteristics of Internet shopping malls and the shopping traits of their users involved in e-commerce on shopping intention. With this in mind, the researchers take a look at the influences of such features of shopping malls on the web as the quality of the system, customer-support service, shopping-mall perception and security, the users' propensity to pursue pleasure and pragmatic interest on shopping intention. The study shows that all the variables suggested here have an influence on the purchase intent of Internet shopping-mall users. That is, this study cannot analyze how the purchase intent of the customers with regard to the features of Internet shopping malls has changed. Therefore it is necessary to conduct procedural researches taking longitudinal studies into consideration.

This study was undertaken to understand the interrelationships among customer's perceptions of service encounters, customer value, and behavioral intent in a family restaurant. Based on 331 samples obtained from empirical research, we reviewed the reliability and fitness of a research model and verified three hypotheses using a structural equation model. The results showed that physical environment (${\beta}$ = .418) and a customer interaction with the service provider (${\beta}$ = .265) had a significant effect on the customer's hedonic value. Additionally, physical environment (${\beta}$ = .126) and customer interaction with service providers (${\beta}$ = .264) had a significant effect on customer utilitarian value. Customer's hedonic (${\beta}$ = .538) and utilitarian value (${\beta}$ = .382) triggered by service encounters had a significant effect on their behavioral intent. Limitations and future research directions are discussed.

This research is an empirical investigation into the dimensions determining the website quality of domestic online shopping malls. A research model that has been formed to find the website quality dimensions is based on DeLone and McLean's information system success model that we adapted to fit the B2C electronic commerce environment by incorporating existing research on IS service quality and website quality. The model incorporates three quality dimensions including the information quality, system quality and service quality, and an attempt was made to empirically examine the relationship between variables of these dimensions and the revisit intent. The results of the study revealed that five quality-related variables were found to importantly contribute to the user's intent to revisit a site : the information accuracy and relevancy, system reliability, ease of use, and on-line support. The paper concludes that the three quality dimensions can serve as a useful framework to evaluate the quality of online shopping mall websites in an attempt to improve the website revisit rate.
