This study focuses on the workplaces of two distinct nations, the United States and Korea, to ascertain the impact of culture on emotional intelligence (EI). This paper examines if EI is dependant on culture by finding significant variances of emotional responses under a given situation. The results suggest that EI is significantly impacted by national culture. In addition, this study investigates the relationship between cultural distance and EI by using the secondary data of 19,402 participants across 13 nations. The results demonstrate that only power distance among Hofstede's dimensions has significant effect on EI.

시대의 흐름에 따라 문화적 차이를 극복한 전략적인 제품 디자인의 중요성이 커지고 있다. 이에 따라, 문화의 성향을 파악하여 적절하게 대응할 수 있는 디자인이 필요하지만, 지금까지는 제품에 대한 선호도 또는 감성어휘 중심의 설문조사를 통해 각 문화의 통계적인 경향성을 파악하는 것이 대부분이었다. 그러나 디자인의 선호에 차이를 발생시키는 근본적인 문화 배경적 원인을 파악하지 않으면 체계적이고 지속적인 디자인 전략의 수립이 어렵다. 본 연구는 상이한 문화권에서 발생하는 제품디자인 선호 차이에 대한 원인을 문화적 성향의 차이에서 찾으려고 하였다. 또, 문화적 성향이 제품의 선호에 미치게 되는 원인을 문화연구 방법의 하나인 기호학을 통해 분석하고, 그 관계를 체계적인 모델로 설명하고자 하였다. 이를 위해 한국과 프랑스, 두 문화권에서 웹 기반 설문조사를 실시하여 문화적 성향과 모바일 폰 이라는 제품에 대한 기본적 개념을 파악하고 선호하는 디자인을 조사하였다. 그 결과 첫째, 문화적 성향이 모바일 폰의 개념 형성에 영향을 미쳐 한국에서는 필수품이자 자신을 표현하는 제품으로, 프랑스에서는 필수적이지 않으며 개인에게 유용한 도구로 여기며 그에 따라 한국에서는 디자인을, 프랑스에서는 기능적 요소를 중요하게 생각하는 등의 차이가 발생하는 것을 발견하였다. 또, 상이한 제품개념이 디자인 선호에 차이를 유발하여 프랑스에서는 유(柔)하고 정적인 디자인을, 한국에서는 강하고 동적인 감성의 디자인을 선호함을 분석할 수 있었다. 더 나아가 이러한 결과를 종합하여 기호학적 개념에 입각하여 체계적인 모델을 제안함으로써 상이한 문화에서의 상이한 디자인 선호에 대한 원인을 규명할 수 있었다.

Now, Korea-U.S.A Free Trade Agreement talk is underway in Korea. In FTA talks, the issues on audio-visual sector including screen quota, opening of broadcasting and telecommunication to the U.S.A. are becoming a hot potato. Globalization has been speed up by mass media and telecommunications. Cultures are no longer bounded by specific place but, through the migration of persons and the electronic flows of information, ideas and images, transgress established boundaries. So issues and debates have to be focused on global culture and cultural imperialism. Some would argue global culture is the consequences of capitalist world-system, so dominance by the center should be criticized and vanished. Some would say that global culture would help recipient society's people with cultural diversify and improvement. The issues on culture and communication, particularly at international level call for our attention in light of cultural identity, homogenization and diversity. Although I criticize the cultural imperialism thesis, I suggest critical acceptance of cultural imperialism. That is the observation of complexity between internal and external dynamics. The process of cultural imperialism is not simple and unitary. It rather involves the various forces of internal dynamics along with external forces.

This study analyzed the influence of cultural empathy and analysis on the cultural sensitivity and understanding of multicultural education and the relationship between the attitudes and cultural empathy and understanding of multicultural education and the multicultural sensibility and attitudes of pre-service early childhood teachers. We conducted a survey on cultural sensitivity, multicultural education and understanding attitude among Early Childhood Education College and enrolled 165 infants with pre teachers in pre-service early childhood teachers who are able to sympathize with cultural areas of the Y. The data were subjected to Pearson correlation analysis with multiple regression analysis performed using the SPSS 21.0 program. From the data analysis, first, cultural empathy and multicultural sensitivity showed a significant positive correlation with understanding and attitudes of multicultural education pre-service early childhood teachers. Second, cultural empathy of the pre-service early childhood teachers was a significant variable for predicting the susceptibility multicultural, multicultural education and understanding attitude. Since cultural empathy can change according to various factors, future investigation of these factors is needed to increase the cultural sensitivity of pre-service early childhood teachers by conducting follow-up studies that apply these findings to educational programs. Cultural empathy shouldn't be limited to multicultural education or simply a means to access the field of experiencing the arts, but should be expanded to include research in teaching and learning on how cultural empathy can be applied to the overall educational curriculum.

In the Western civilization, the concept of culture has traditionally the meaning of education or forming the moral humanity. However, this meaning of culture has recently changed since the advent of cultural relativism which lays stress on the cultural diversity. The current meaning of culture lies in the ways of life, whatever they are. It indicates that culture has nothing to do with universal human nature and morality, as the new concept of culture is only based on the historical and contingent life-situations of people in the each special area. Against this current view of culture, this paper contends that culture and humanity(human nature) are closely connected with each other and that every culture is rooted in the universal human nature. So culture could have a great influence on humanity and forming of moral community. This thesis might be justified by Husserl's view on the philosophical culture of the ancient Greece. According to Husserl, the philosophy in the ancient Greece intended to realize the idea of true humanity and to build the moral community. Husserl's interpretation of the philosophical culture is based on his belief that philosophy as an ideal culture transcends the cultural diversity and historical contingency and strives for a universal human community, in which all mankind are harmonized and live well. The philosophical culture would -so Husserl- result in the moral community. Against this conception of the moral cultural community, could man argue that the idea of the moral community be an ideal dream which could not be realized considering the irrational and immoral character of community. However, this argument should be refuted, because it has overlooked the moral and open-minded character of culture with the feeling of solidarity.

The study investigates the type of organizational culture, using the organizational culture assessment instrument(OCAI) developed by Cameron and Quinn based on the competing value model(CVM), and analyzed the gap between current and desirable organizational culture empirically. The analytic results show that while the organizational members prefer the relational organizational culture as a dominant organizational culture on the current level. Also they prefer the relational organizational culture as a desirable organizational culture on the future level. In addition, the diagnosis of organizational culture by the type of status reveals that while the public educational personnel and staff recognized the relational organizational culture as a strong culture, the local public service employee identified the hierarchical culture as a dominant culture on the current level. Those findings suggest the following implications. First, the sustainable management of organizational culture requires the suitable strategic tools. That is to say, they need to introduce and carry out practical strategies to sustain change and control for each type of organizational culture. Second, despite the fact that the balance among four types of organizational culture is needed the strategy to reinforce the dominant culture, considering the types of status and affiliation.

This study aimed to investigate the effects of multicultural complexes on activating local culture. Prior studies that discuss activating local culture through multicultural complexes focus on literature reviews or quantitative research methods, which do not incorporate the detailed and practical opinions of the users of the location. Therefore, this study collected detailed information through in-depth interviews with users, and investigated the future development methods of multicultural complexes based on the obtained information. It focused on the Asia Culture Center (ACC) in Gwangju, which is considered a prime example of a multicultural complex, and conducted in-depth interviews with citizens who have lived in Gwangju for at least five years as well as visited the ACC to investigate the research question from a detailed perspective. The results revealed that although the citizens of Gwangju have a positive perception of the functions of ACC as a cultural space representing the city that activates the local culture, they perceive it as partially insufficient to be considered a multicultural complex. Major findings included the following: the contents of the ACC do not have a mass appeal, its inflexible hours of operation inconvenience visitors, and the contents available for visitors lack in quantity and quality. Therefore, in order for the ACC to appeal as a successful multicultural complex, it is necessary to cooperate with the members of the community to investigate their needs with respect to the contents and location, and prepare strategic plans to satisfy those needs.
