This study not only examines the intermediating process of the association between ethical leadership and safety behavior, but also tries to find a factor which moderates the positive influence of ethical leadership. To achieve it, this paper tried to identify the mediating effect of employee's psychological safety between ethical leadership and safety behavior, as well as the moderating influence of moral identity in the ethical leadership-psychological safety link.

This study examined the influence of ethical leadership on employee job satisfaction and the mediating role of employee engagement in the relationship between these two variables. In this study, employee engagement was divided into job engagement and organization engagement. Data were collected from 183 employees working for Korean companies. The results of this study are as follows. First, it was found that ethical leadership was positively related to both job engagement and organization engagement. Second, ethical leadership was also positively related to job satisfaction of employees. Third, job engagement and organization engagement were found to partially mediate the relationship between ethical leadership and job satisfaction respectively. The results of this study suggest a theoretical contribution in that it expanded existing studies on the relationship between ethical leadership and job satisfaction. This study is significant in that it revealed a mechanism that ethical leadership directly affects job satisfaction in the relationship between ethical leadership and job satisfaction, but indirectly positively affects employee engagement variables such as job engagement and organization engagement. The results of this study also suggest practical implications that CEOs should strive to help organizational managers demonstrate ethical leadership. In addition, the results of this study suggest practical implications that managers and human resource development experts need to seek ways to increase the level of engagement of employees in the organization. Finally, this study presented limitations to be revised and supplemented in future studies and future research directions.

This study examines the international differences in tax compliance and relates these differences to selected determinants of tax morale and Hofstede's Cultural dimensions. The findings of the empirical investigation of data from 38 countries during 5 years(2000-2004) indicate that tax compliance is highest in countries characterized by high economic freedom, high effective competition laws, high government transparency, low shadow Economy, and low power distance. It shows that a powerful deterrent to tax evasion is the creation of a tax morale. Where individuals can exercise their economic rights in terms of economic freedom, important equity market and effective competition laws, in a safe environment that improves their quality of life, they are more prone to view tax compliance as less of a burden and more of a citizenship duty. Our results indicate that policymakers should consider cultural values when designing tax compliance legislation and investigating possible behavior irregularities.

In Korea, the size of the private security industry has grown rapidly since the enactment of the Security Business Act in 1976. Unfortunately, the quantitative development has not been accompanied by the comparable qualities, and this shortcoming can be attributed to different unethical incidents caused by the private security officers. This study examined the causal relationship between the organizational characteristics according to the organizational ethics and the organizational citizenship behavior to provide suggestions to promote the ethics of the private security officers, and ultimately play the role of a theoretical foundation for the qualitative advancement of the industry. Private security officers in Seoul and the Gyeonggi province in Korea were studied by using the purposive sampling method and the following results were obtained. First, except for the altruism factor, the levels of organizational ethics perceptions and organizational citizenship behavior of the subjects were relatively high. Moreover, organizational characteristics had a positive partial effect on organizational ethics and organizational citizenship behavior. Furthermore, organizational ethics partially affected organizational citizenship behavior in a positive way, and organizational ethics had a partial mediation effect between organizational characteristics and organizational citizenship behavior. With the results of the analyses, development and management of the ethics training and programs and promoting the ethics among the executives were recommended as a future direction.

본 연구는 기업이 경영혁신 방침으로 Six Sigma 추진시 정보보호영역에서의 과제선정에 대한 기준을 제시한다. 기업은 윤리경영을 기초로 사업과 서비스를 통한 수익창출을 목적으로 한다. 기업은 안정적인 사업, 서비스의 정보환경을 확보,유지하기 위해 지속적인 보안활동을 통하여 Risk 를 줄이는 작업을 해오고 있다. 기업의 정보보호 활동과 패턴은 초기의 정보보호 기본기능을 도입, 구축하는 단계에서 탈피하여, 점진적으로 종합적인 관리체계로 수렴되고 있으며 산출되는 관련 정보와 Data 의 정규화를 기초로 정량적으로 관리가 이루어 지는 시점에 와 있다. 그러나, 정보보호 침해사고 예방 및 대응활동, 예측 불허한 상황에서 발생되는 보안사고, 책임문제의 발생, 정성적으로 관리되는 상황 등은 정보보호 영역의 Six Sigma 추진시 과제선정의 어려움으로 작용한다. 정보보호 영역에서 Six Sigma 과제 선정은 일반적인 Six Sigma 과제 선정과는 다르게 정보보호 특성을 고려하여 선정하여 추진하는 것이 바람직하다. 정보보호 활동에 대한 기업의 투자효과도 비재무적 성과외에 경제적 가치요소를 기초로 재무적 성과를 산출하고, 관리하여야 한다. 국내 기업들이 Six Sigma 를 경영혁신 기법으로 확대 적용하고 있는 상황에서 정보보호 영역의 Six Sigma 과제선정에 대한 제안을 통하여 정량적 목표수준 관리에 의한 성공적인 Six Sigma 성과를 달성할 수 있도록 함에 있다.
