There have been researches on game continuance intention based on consumer behaviour theory of management science. Such macro access of computer game analysis might be insufficient to draw valuable results due to complex subsystem structure of recent computer games. In this paper, we choose 'Blade and Soul' game that was first published in 2012 and has been within top 20 MMORPG in Korea but known as a 'long time users' only game'among game players recently. Three user groups - long loyalty, concentrated, casual - are classified based on their play history and play time per day of Blade and Soul. The first survey with 222 subjects revealed that the real strength of the game was not the combat - Dungeon, Arena, Battleground competition - but very cohesive game community Blade and Soul has. Thus, we conduct another survey on the game community issues among 148 long time users (over 3 years playing history) and analyze their traits and behaviour patterns.

This study investigates the impact of personalization recommendation systems on customer loyalty in e-commerce, focusing on the role of information presentation, system interaction, and social community functions. It examines how these elements influence flow state, word of mouth (WOM), and repurchase intention (RPI). Using structural equation modeling (SEM) and data collected from 500 respondents in SPSS and AMOS, the study finds that all three personalization aspects significantly enhance flow state, which, in turn, positively affects WOM and RPI. System interaction directly boosts both WOM and RPI, while information presentation and social community functions influence only one of these loyalty measures. Flow state mediates the relationship between personalization factors and loyalty outcomes. These findings suggest e-commerce platforms should enhance system interaction and embed social community features to foster customer loyalty.

The turnover intention of respondents turned out to be significantly higher in following groups: a group in which organizational commitment is lower, a group in which organizational loyalty is higher, a group in which exhaustion, cynicism, reduced professional efficacy, sub-areas of job burnout are higher. The results show explanatory power of 50.9%. The results of the study indicate that the efforts, to increase organizational commitment and organizational loyalty, and to decrease exhaustion, cynicism, reduced professional efficacy, sub-areas of job burnout, are required to improve the turnover intention among ASMI. These results could be used in hospital organization personnel management and industrial health education to lower the level of turnover intention in ASMI, vocational aptitude education of health care college students. In following studies, it is necessary to present and analyze the structural model affecting the turnover intention of ASMI.

A critical incident technique(CIT) was employed to show the results of empirical findings regarding hotel services. The major purpose of this study was to describe and analyze service failures from the customers' point of view and thus suggest strategic implications for hotel service providers. Four-hundred sixteen service failure anecdotes from hotel customers were classified using Hoffman et al.'s(1995) approach. The CIT data showed the three major categories and eleven sub-categories and revealed that, in general, tangible recovery(e.g., upgrade, free meal, discount) was more effective than intangible one(e.g., explanation, canned apology, manager's apology). Interestingly, however, sincere apology seemed to be a better recovery strategy than other types of tangible recovery. Furthermore, the results showed that severity of service failure had its own impact on customers' perception regarding hotel's service recovery efforts. In particular, irrespective of service recovery, severity of service problem was negatively related to intention to repurchase. Managerial implications and future research agenda was also discussed.

본 연구는 TAM 모형을 기반으로 유용성과 경제성 변수에 기업의 고객 충성도를 조절변수로 하여 유무선 결합서비스(FCM)에 대한 소비자의 수용의사에 대해 연구하였다. 그 결과, 소비자들은 FCM 의 유용성과 경제성에 유의한 영향을 미치고 있으며, 기업에 대한 고객 충성도는 조절효과를 가지고 있었다. 소비자들은 현재 유선기반의 단순묶음(bundling)형태의 서비스를 주로 이용하고 있으며, 경제성(요금의 적합성)에 대한 만족도는 높지 않았다. 또한, 소비자들은 현재의 서비스와는 상관없이, 향후 FMC 활성화에 따라 통신사의 변경을 고려하고 있어 기업에 대한 신뢰보다는 제공 서비스의 품질과 효과를 우선시 하고 있음을 나타냈다. 향후 결합서비스의 중심서비스로는 이동전화를 선호하고 있었으며, 결합서비스 형태로는 인터넷과 인터넷 TV 를 결합한 서비스를 추구하고 있었다. 본 연구는 향후 통신사업자들의 바람직한 FCM 의 구성과 요금정책 전략 수립에 있어 다소나마 도움을 줄 수 있을 것으로 판단된다. 각 사업자는 유무선 결합서비스가 성공적인 비즈니스모델로 정착하기 위해 소비자들의 효용을 정확히 알고 소비자들에게 맞는 우수한 콘텐츠와 기능적 품질의 제공이 무엇보다 중요하게 될 것이다.
