The present study investigates the relationship between social competence and economic performance in social enterprises. Social enterprises simultaneously pursue social value creation and economic value creation, two of which are not easily compatible each other. This study explores the conditions under which these two values can synergize with each other and thereby, positively affect each other's performance. In particular, I examine how two important social competences, that is, social identity and social alliance, influence economic performance of social enterprises. Using the secondary data on social enterprises from Korea Social Enterprise Promotion Agency, I run OLS regression analyses to test hypotheses. I find that investment on social value creation, only when it aligns with social identity, has a statistically significant and positive relationship with economic performance of social enterprises. Further, the study finds evidence that social alliance in and of itself does not affect economic performance of social enterprises. However, social alliance does have a positive influence on social enterprises' economic performance, only when taking into account social alliance partners' organizational attributes and a focal social enterprise's degree of readiness to absorb expected gains from social alliance altogether. The present study improves our understanding on social entrepreneurship research by suggesting how social enterprises can enhance two seemingly incompatible values in a simultaneous manner. I also discuss potentially fruitful future research agenda based on the present paper's findings.

대한민국은 국가경제발전의 기반을 무역에 두고 있는 대외 지향적 통상(通商)국가이다. 현재 한국의 무역은 화물량 기준 거의 100%를 해운에 의존하고 있다. 한나라의 경제 특성을 나타내는 지표로서 '무역의존도'가 있는데 2007년도 한국의 무역의존도는 75.09%로서 일본의 30.15%의 약 2.5배, 중국의 67.07%에 비해 현저하게 높은 세계최고 수준이다. 이는 한국경제 나아가 한국의 안전과 발전이 절대적으로 해양을 통한 무역에 의존하고 있다는 의미로 이해할 수 있다. 대외무역에 국가의 사활을 걸고 있는 한국에서 국가해양활동의 안전이 확고하게 지켜지지 못해 무역에 차질이 발생한다면 이는 국가 경제 나아가 국가안보에 심대한 악 영향을 미칠 수밖에 없다. 반면 최근 소말리아 근해 해적의 피해확대로 한국은 주력 전투함을 파견하여 한국선박보호와 인근해역의 해양안전유지를 위해 국제적 해양안보활동에 참여하고 있다. 이는 한국의 국가경제활동이 전 세계로 확대됨에 따라 해양에서의 안전도 다방면에서 위협을 받고 있어 군함까지 파견해야 할 정도로 위협이 확대되고 있다는 방증이기도 하다. 이에 반해 한국에서는 해양안보에 대한 국민적 관심과 체계적인 대비책개발을 위한 노력이 아직은 미흡한 실정이다. 따라서 한국은 지금부터라도 국가적 차원에서 해양안보에 대한 관심과 대비책마련을 본격적으로 서둘러야 한다. 우선 한국은 해양안보위협을 북한으로 부터의 군사적 위협과 동일한 개념의 안보문제로 간주하여 대비해야 나가야 할 것이다. 또한 현재 정부 각 부처에 분산된 해양안보 관련 기능을 유기적으로 통합하여 수행할 수 있는 중심기구의 설치를 검토하여야 할 것이며, 국제적인 해양안보노력에도 적극적으로 참여함으로써 해양의 안전을 확고하게 유지하여 한국의 지속적인 국가번영을 보장하여야 한다.

As the social economy emerges as one of the alternatives for solving social problems, interest and experiments on social franchise, a methodology for scaling the social economy, continue to increase. The success or failure of social franchise has a huge impact on franchisors, members of franchisees, as well as beneficiaries, local residents, and stakeholders in the region, but research on ways to increase their chances of success is still insufficient. Based on previous studies, this study tried to derive success factors by analyzing the effects of social franchise characteristics on business performance, and to understand the mediating effect of franchise autonomy, which is the differentiation point of social franchises, between characteristic factors and business performance. Social value orientation, social economy experience, local network utilization, and customer orientation were derived as characteristic factors affecting business performance, and franchise autonomy was set as a mediating variable, and a survey was conducted for franchisee members and their influence was analyzed. Through this study, it was found that social economy experience and local network utilization had a positive (+) effect on economic performance, and social value orientation, local network utilization, and customer orientation had a positive (+) effect on social performance. Also, the results of franchise autonomy playing a mediating role between social economy experience, local network utilization and economic performance, and a mediating role between local network utilization and social performance were presented. This study has significance as the first study to conduct a full-scale empirical study on social franchises. It is hoped that theoretical research on social franchises will be more active in the future and will be used as a useful reference for performance creation for organizations that seek or already operate social franchises.

The purpose of this study is a path modeling study to examine the factors that affect nursing students' quality of life. Subject consists of 209 nursing students in B City and G City. Collected data was analyzed using SPSS 22.0 and Amos 22.0. Variables that directly affect nursing students' quality of life were physical condition and stress, and the variable that directly affect stress were monthly income and physical condition. In other words, they were more stressed as the monthly income was lower(${\beta}=-,067$ p=.030) and their physical condition was worse(${\beta}=-.109$, p=.003), and their quality of life increased as they had sufficient physical condition(${\beta}=.083$, p=.013) and less stress(${\beta}=.-213$, p=.001). Based on the results of this study, educational programs to enhance the quality of life in order to improve information support and affectionate support of nursing students should be developed and applied.

Recently, consumers are increasingly interested in the sharing economy, which utilizes various resources by sharing unused or under-used products/services with others. This study focuses on Airbnb, a representative sharing economy platform, to identify the success factors of the sharing accommodation services. The key properties of sharing accommodation services are extensively surveyed from extant literature and are classified them into the three important factors (economic, convenience, and trust) that influence the success of room-sharing services. The research data include 1,673 Airbnb hosts who offered accommodations in New York City, USA, in June 2018. The research variables of economic-, convenience-, and trust-related factors are utilized in the empirical analyses. The results of this study show that the number of available facilities, flexibility of refunds, the response rate and time to customer requests, and the status of Super host are positively associated with guest satisfaction from sharing accommodation services. This study bears significant managerial implications by suggesting a set of practical guidelines to participants in sharing accommodation services.

The concept of the sharing economy, which has shifted the economic paradigm from possession to access to resources, is consistent with the traditional and current roles of public libraries. Thus, this research empirically analyzed the influence relationships between public library use and the sharing economy. Results showed that participation in public library programs serves as a motivational factor for satisfaction with and trust in the sharing economy, while the use of public library facilities and equipment is correlated with attitudes toward and participation in the sharing economy. The use of library collections positively influences sharing intangible resources such as knowledge, information, and personal experience. By contrast, checking out library resources negatively influences the recognition of economic benefits from sharing, which is contrary to claims of library communities. Based on these results, public libraries should aim to have a complementary effect on the sharing economy founded not only on information networks but also human networks grounded in social relationships.

The government has implemented policies to increase university technology commercialization while supporting university research over time. This paper adopts the neo-institutional theory and examines the effect of change in the government research funds that universities have received overtime on the change in their technology commercialization performance. It also investigates a location (Seoul metro or others) effect on the relationships. Using latent growth curve modeling (LGM), which is widely used for time-varying analysis, this study longitudinally analyzes 138 universities in South Korea over the past nine years from 2009 to 2017. The results indicate that the growth in the annual government research funds that universities attain affects the growth in the economic value of technology transfers. In addition, the relationship is stronger for universities in Seoul metropolitan areas than those in other areas. The relationships are intact with one-year lagging effects. The findings help understand the effectiveness of government R&D policies for promoting technology commercialization.
