Public Service Motivation (PSM) and Attitudes toward Purchasing Fashion Counterfeits

Counterfeits are reproductions that appear identical to legitimate products in appearance, including packaging, trademarks, and labeling (Ang et al, 2001). In 2007, trade in counterfeits was estimated to be more than US $600 billion a year – 5 to 7$60 billion (The Korea Times, 2010). Fashion products (clothing, shoes, watches, leather goods, and jewelry) are the most popular counterfeit products

(5) High (vs. low) scorers on compulsive buying will score higher on tendency to regret

Institutional Leadership and Perceived Performance: Evidence from the Korean Minister Survey

Few empirical studies have explored Selznicks ideas on institutional leaderships role in creating, nourishing, and maintaining public institutions. Reconsidering and expanding Selznicks perspective, this study explores how perceived ministerial performance is associated with institutional leadership styles. Using data from the 2007 Korean Minister Survey, this study develops five types of institutional leadership (visionary, persuasive, resilient, coalition network, and maintaining) derived from an exploratory factor analysis and tests their association with ministers performance. It suggests that visionary leadership and persuasive leadership are the primary determinants of Korean ministers performance, and their effects are greater for ministers without presidential support. Resilient leadership and coalition network leadership are also significantly associated with ministers performance, but maintaining leadership has little effect on it. Moderating effects on the relationship between leadership type and performance include presidential support and the presence of a performance crisis. Further research is needed to develop different measures for ministerial performance from different sources in order to avoid the common method bias.This work was supported by a grant from the National Research Foundation of Korea, funded by the Korean government (NRF-2010-330-B00031)

Perception of Time, Creative Attitudes, and Adoption of Innovations: A Cross-Cultural Study from Chinese and US College Students

This study explores how earlier (vs. later) adopters of innovation differ in time perception and creative attitudes, comparing Chinese and US college students. Research on the perception of time and creative attitudes is useful to understand how sustainability and creative collaboration might work together. Various relationships exist between different levels of innovation adoption groups and creative attitudes or perceptions of time. We found that earlier adopters scored higher on economic time and future time orientation. This may indicate that earlier adopters are sensitive about their planned schedule. Also, earlier adopters with a future time orientation are forward-thinking and anticipate the introduction of new styles, items, or events in the future. We also find that Chinese (vs. US) participants scored higher on creative capacity and creative collaboration but did not differ in general creative attitudes or creative risk-taking. For all participants from these two countries, earlier adopters (vs. later) scored higher on all aspects of creative attitudes. This study suggests academic and practical implications regarding sustainability issues. From an academic perspective, this study adds a new perspective to the literature about the relationships among time of adoption, time perception, creative attitudes, and cultural values, and is especially useful for how these four variables influence sustainability. From a practitioner perspective, this study provides information of how consumer values and attitudes in a developing economy (China) and a developed economy (US) might facilitate open innovation and induce sustainability.OAIID:RECH_ACHV_DSTSH_NO:T201619653RECH_ACHV_FG:RR00200001ADJUST_YN:EMP_ID:A076116CITE_RATE:1.343DEPT_NM:행정학과EMAIL:[email protected]_YN:YCONFIRM:

Decomposing Organizational Productivity Changes in Acute Care Hospitals in Tennessee, 2002-2006: A Malmquist Approach

After the passage of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, the survival and the productivity of hospitals are a critical topic in health care management. This study measured the productivity of acute care hospitals in Tennessee, applying the DEA-Malmquist index, which can be decomposed into a technical efficiency and technological change index in relation to factors such as size, ownership, location, and network. This draws on utilization data and financial statements from 144 acute care hospitals in Tennessee from 2002 through 2006. The analysis indicates that community hospitals in Tennessee were generally inefficient. The community hospitals in Tennessee suffered both with respect to technological change and technical efficiency, with the latter playing a relatively more important role. This study finds the bigger-sized, urban, public or nonprofit, strategically allied hospitals to be more productive relatively speaking and suggests that community hospitals in Tennessee need to upsize their facilities or make other adjustments, such as changing their cost structure and the way they operate their facility or bringing in new management to increase productivity. Government and health policy makers also need to develop and enact health policies to ensure that hospitals are both able to make technical progress and improve efficiency and thereby increase productivity.This paper was supported by the National Research Foundation of Korea Grant funded by the Korean Government (NRF-2010-330-B00031 and NRF-2012-330-B00194)
