Considering the expenditure size of public institutions centering on public enterprises, about 28% of Korea's GDP in 2007, public institutions have significant influence on the Korean economy. However, still in the new government, there are voices of criticism about the need of constant reform on public enterprises due to their irresponsible management impeding national competitiveness. Especially, political controversy over appointment of executives such as CEOs of public enterprises has caused the distrust of the people. As one of various reform measures for public enterprises, this study analyzes the effect of internal governance structure of public enterprises on their managerial performance, since, regardless of privatization of public enterprises, improving the governance structure of public enterprises is a matter of great importance. There are only a few prior researches focusing on the governance structure and managerial performance of public enterprises compared to those of private enterprises. Most of prior researches studied the relationship between parachuting employment of CEO and managerial performance, and concluded that parachuting produces negative effect on managerial performance. However, different from the results of such researches, recent studies suggest that there is no relationship between employment type of CEOs and managerial performance in public enterprises. This study is distinguished from prior researches in view of following. First, prior researches focused on the relationship between employment type of public enterprises' CEOs and managerial performance. However, in addition to this, this study analyzes the relationship of internal auditors and managerial performance. Second, unlike prior researches studying the relationship between employment type of public corporations' CEOs and managerial performance with an emphasis on parachuting employment, this study researches impact of employment type as well as expertise of CEOs and internal auditors on managerial performance. Third, prior researchers mainly used non-financial indicators from various samples. However, this study eliminated subjectivity of researchers by analyzing public enterprises designated by the government and their financial statements, which were externally audited and inspected. In this study, regression analysis is applied in analyzing the relationship of independence and expertise of public enterprises' CEOs and internal auditors and managerial performance in the same year. Financial information from 2003 to 2007 of 24 public enterprises, which are designated by the government, and their personnel information from the board of directors are used as samples. Independence of CEOs is identified by dividing CEOs into persons from the same public enterprise and persons from other organization, and independence of internal auditors is determined by classifying them into two groups, people from academic field, economic world, and civic groups, and people from political community, government ministries, and military. Also, expertise of CEOs and internal auditors is divided into business expertise and financial expertise. As control variables, this study applied foundation year, asset size, government subsidies as a proportion to corporate earnings, and dummy variables by year. Analysis showed that there is significantly positive relationship between independence and financial expertise of internal auditors and managerial performance. In addition, although business expertise and financial expertise of CEOs were not statistically significant, they have positive relationship with managerial performance. However, unlike a general idea, independence of CEOs is not statistically significant, but it is negatively related to managerial performance. Contrary to general concerns, it seems that the impact of independence of public enterprises' CEOs on managerial performance has slightly decreased. Instead, it explains that expertise of public enterprises' CEOs and internal auditors plays more important role in managerial performance rather than their independence. Meanwhile, there are limitations in this study as follows. First, in contrast to private enterprises, public enterprises simultaneously pursue publicness and entrepreneurship. However, this study focuses on entrepreneurship, excluding considerations on publicness of public enterprises. Second, public enterprises in this study are limited to those in the central government. Accordingly, it should be carefully considered when the result of this study is applied to public enterprises in local governments. Finally, this study excludes factors related to transparency and democracy issues which are raised in appointment process of executives of public enterprises, as it may cause the issue of subjectivity of researchers.

Predicting corporate failure has been an important topic in accounting and finance. The costs associated with bankruptcy are high, so the accuracy of bankruptcy prediction is greatly important for financial institutions. Lots of researchers have dealt with the topic associated with bankruptcy prediction in the past three decades. The current research attempts to use ensemble models for improving the performance of bankruptcy prediction. Ensemble classification is to combine individually trained classifiers in order to gain more accurate prediction than individual models. Ensemble techniques are shown to be very useful for improving the generalization ability of the classifier. Bagging is the most commonly used methods for constructing ensemble classifiers. In bagging, the different training data subsets are randomly drawn with replacement from the original training dataset. Base classifiers are trained on the different bootstrap samples. Instance selection is to select critical instances while deleting and removing irrelevant and harmful instances from the original set. Instance selection and bagging are quite well known in data mining. However, few studies have dealt with the integration of instance selection and bagging. This study proposes an improved bagging ensemble based on instance selection using genetic algorithms (GA) for improving the performance of SVM. GA is an efficient optimization procedure based on the theory of natural selection and evolution. GA uses the idea of survival of the fittest by progressively accepting better solutions to the problems. GA searches by maintaining a population of solutions from which better solutions are created rather than making incremental changes to a single solution to the problem. The initial solution population is generated randomly and evolves into the next generation by genetic operators such as selection, crossover and mutation. The solutions coded by strings are evaluated by the fitness function. The proposed model consists of two phases: GA based Instance Selection and Instance based Bagging. In the first phase, GA is used to select optimal instance subset that is used as input data of bagging model. In this study, the chromosome is encoded as a form of binary string for the instance subset. In this phase, the population size was set to 100 while maximum number of generations was set to 150. We set the crossover rate and mutation rate to 0.7 and 0.1 respectively. We used the prediction accuracy of model as the fitness function of GA. SVM model is trained on training data set using the selected instance subset. The prediction accuracy of SVM model over test data set is used as fitness value in order to avoid overfitting. In the second phase, we used the optimal instance subset selected in the first phase as input data of bagging model. We used SVM model as base classifier for bagging ensemble. The majority voting scheme was used as a combining method in this study. This study applies the proposed model to the bankruptcy prediction problem using a real data set from Korean companies. The research data used in this study contains 1832 externally non-audited firms which filed for bankruptcy (916 cases) and non-bankruptcy (916 cases). Financial ratios categorized as stability, profitability, growth, activity and cash flow were investigated through literature review and basic statistical methods and we selected 8 financial ratios as the final input variables. We separated the whole data into three subsets as training, test and validation data set. In this study, we compared the proposed model with several comparative models including the simple individual SVM model, the simple bagging model and the instance selection based SVM model. The McNemar tests were used to examine whether the proposed model significantly outperforms the other models. The experimental results show that the proposed model outperforms the other models.

The paper investigates a mediating effect of job embeddedness in the influence of positive psychological capital on organizational citizenship behavior(OCB) for members of medical institutions. The members include medical doctors, nurses, medical technicians, health administrative staffs, and other medical service staffs of hospitals in Daejeon City, Chungcheongnam-do, Chungcheongbuk-do, and Sejong City. Using 453 questionnaires for hypothesis tests, the main results are as follows. Firstly, positive psychological capital exerts a significantly positive effect on OCB. Secondly, the fit and links of job embeddedness turn out to have a significant and positive effect on OCB, whereas the sacrifice does not have statistically significant effect on it. Thirdly, while the fit and links of job embeddedness appear to have mediating effects between positive psychological capital and OCB, the sacrifice of it does not exert a mediating effect. The findings thus suggest that we need a new approach to the role of job embeddedness in the positive impacts of positive psychological capital on OCB through the fit and links of job embeddedness. Furthermore, organizations need to focus on key elements in the application of job embeddedness.

A measure of managerial ability was derived using DEA, a measure of management efficiency, and the correlation coefficient between discretionary accrual and non-discretionary accrual, net income and operating cash flow standard deviation was used as a proxy for income smoothing. verified. In addition, the manager's compensation was used by taking the natural logarithm of the cash compensation per manager. The analysis results are summarized as follows. The analysis period for hypothesis testing is from 2004 to 2017, as a result of the hypothesis analysis of the correlation with the level of manager's compensation, it was suggested that the income smoothing behavior decreased the performance-based compensation and increased the performance-controlled compensation. This can be said to be the result of indirectly confirming that additional compensation is differentially paid for income smoothing. This study has a contribution to the study by empirically analyzing whether income smoothing affects the relationship between managerial ability and managerial compensation. However, although a number of previous studies empirically analyzed that there are upper and lower bounds for manager compensation, there is limitations that could not be analyzed for asymmetric compensation due to income smoothing is expected to expand.

We study the sustainability of the current fiscal policy of Korea, and the effects of the social welfare policy expansion, which has been recently discussed among the political circles, on the government budget and the generational equity, using generational accounting. We follow the generational accounting approach, considering the fact that most of the social welfare policies are the entitlement programs, which imposes the limitation of the policy maker's discretion to control the cost of their provision. The social welfare expenditure will change due to the change in the policy environments of the future, such as population aging. Therefore, we need to take into account the government cash flow of the future as well as of the present to investigate its effects on the fiscal sustainability, which implies that the national debt or the budget balance is not a proper index for the investigation. Our findings are as follows. The current fiscal policies are not sustainable, and the long-term budgetary imbalance is shown very serious. The required tax adjustment, which is defined as the percentage change of tax burden required to attain the long-term budgetary balance, is very large. Unless the level of the government expenditure is properly controlled, the tax burden and the social contribution level will rise to the untolerable level. Moreover, the expansion of the social welfare policies, which has been discussed among the political circles, will substantially increase the fiscal burden of the future generations. Even though the provision of the free lunch to the primary and the secondary school students, the free child care, and the discounted college tuition do not increase the fiscal burden much, because their magnitude at present is not large and will decrease due to the decrease in the number of the newborns and the students resulting from the fall in the fertility rate, that of the free health care service will increase tax burden of the future generations very much, because the magnitude of the government expenditure needed at present is very large and the population aging will further increase the magnitude of the health care expenditure. The findings indicate that the structural reforms, to prevent the explosive increase in the social welfare expenditure in the future, are necessary before the implementation of the welfare policy expansion. In particular, the cost control of the social transfers to the elderly needs to be made, because the speed of the population aging of Korea is among the highest in the world. The findings also indicate that the budget balance or the national debt can cause the fiscal illusion, which makes the Korean government budget look sound, even though the fiscal policy will rapidly increase the social welfare expenditure in the future, as the population ages. The generational accounting, which takes into account the cash flow of the future as well as of the present, unlike the budgetary balance and the national debt, which shows the results of the government financial activities of the past and the present, is a useful method to overcome the fiscal illusion.

우리 나라의 금융기관들은 금융환경(金融環境)의 급격한 변화 속에서 일대 전환기를 맞고 있다. 대내적으로는 금리자유화를 비롯한 금융자율화(金融自律化)의 추진, 금융산업의 개편 등의 금융구조 조정이 진행되고 있고, 대외적으로는 국내금융시장에 대한 개방압력(開放壓力)이 가중되고 있다. 본 연구의 목적(目的)은 이상의 다양한 금융환경의 변화 중에서 1991년과 1993년에 실시된 1,2단계 금리자유화조치가 은행의 경영위험에 어떠한 영향을 미쳤는지를 증권시장(證券市場)의 반응을 통하여 규명하고자 한다. 구체적으로 일반적인 예상과 같이 금리자유화로 인하여 은행의 위험이 증가하였는지 아니면 금리자유화가 은행의 자금조달과 운용에 있어서 자율성과 유연성을 확보해 주어서 오히려 은행위험을 감소시켰는지를 실증적으로 검증한다. 주가자료를 이용하는 증권시장의 반응을 통한 은행위험의 분석은 은행에 관련된 재무정보를 신속하고 충분히 반영하는 효율적 시장이며 회계자료를 이용하여 은행위험을 추정하는 방법이 부적절하다는 가정하에서 합리화된다. 은행 위험은 은행감독 당국의 관심대상인 총위험과 은행주식 투자자의 관심대상인 체계적 위험의 두요소를 대상으로 한다. 본 연구의 증권시장반응을 통한 실증분석결과에 의하면 금리자유화조치 이후 은행의 위험은 예상과는 달리 증가하지 않은 것으로 나타났다. 은행총위험은 증가하지 않았으며 체계적 위험은 오히려 2차 금리자유화 이후 하락하는 결과를 보여준다. 이는 금리자유화 조치가 은행의 자금조달과 운영에 있어서 운신의 폭을 넓혀줌으로써 금리 변동폭 증대로 인한 위험증가를 상쇄함을 의미한다. 이러한 결과는 미국의 금리자유화조치에 관련된 대부분의 연구결과와 일치한다. 또한 위험은 개별은행의 재무특성에 따라서 상이한 변화를 보여주었다. 특히 자산규모가 작은 후발은행의 경우 자금조달과 운영의 측면에서의 제한이 완화됨으로써 위험이 감소함을 보여준다. 따라서 정부당국자는 금리자유화의 긍정적 효과를 극대화하는 방향으로 적극적으로 금리자유화를 추진하는 것이 바람직하다.

기업 네트워크에서 안전하고 효과적이며 안정된 망 운영관리 환경 제공은 당면한 중요과제이며 기업 경쟁력의 핵심인 정보기술을 통한 생산성과도 연계성을 갖고 있다. 특히 전력통신망의 경우 전자메일, 회계관리, 전자결재, 도면자료관리 등의 데이터 통신망에서부터 IBM 온라인, 사내 방송망, 전력계통설비 원방 제어용 시스템들 간을 연결하는 EMS, SCADA 등 전력 수급용 전용 통신망에 이르기까지 다양한 종류의 통신망이 구축 운용되고 있다. 이러한 기업환경에 따라 네트워크를 효율적으로 관리하기 위한 네트워크 관리 시스템에 대한 관심이 증대되고 있으며 많은 네트워크 관리 시스템들이 도입되어 운영되었으나 이들 관리 시스템들은 모니터링에 의한 통계값 제공과 같은 단순 평면적인 관리 기능만을 제공한 뿐 네트워크의 특성과 환경에 따른 분석, 진단 기능은 제공하지 못하고 있다. 이와 더불어 네트워크 관리자는 보다 손쉬운 방법으로 네트워크를 관리하고자 하며, 보다 지능적이고 효율적으로 관리하고자 한다. 하지만 관리 시스템이 모든 네트워크에 대해 효율적이고 지능적인 관리 기능을 제공하기는 매우 어려우며 이는 장기간의 관리 네트워크의 특성과 트래픽 형태를 파악한 후에나 가능하다. 결국 지능적이고 효율적인 네트워크 관리는 네트워크의 특성과 함께 이전에 관리자에 의해서 내려졌던 관리 행위 및 의견 그리고 조치에 대한 이력정보를 학습하고 있을 때만 가능하다. 본 논문은 전력통신망을 대상으로 전력통신망이 지닌 네트워크 특성을 반영하며 네트워크 운영 과정에서 축적된 관리자의 의견과 이에 대한 조치를 지식 데이터베이스화하여 지능적인 관리 시스템을 제공하기 위한 기반 시스템으로써 전력통신망 운용 관리 지원시스템을 설계 및 구현하였다. 본 시스템은 향후 지식 정보를 학습하고 이를 바탕으로 논리적인 추론을 통해 관리 네트워크를 지능적이고 자동적으로 관리할 수 있는 시스템으로 확대 개발될 것이다.
