Purpose: The purpose of this study was to identify the levels of customer orientation in nurses whose work experience was between 1 and 5 years and to examine factors associated with customer orientation and nursing productivity. Methods: For this descriptive correlational study, nurses (N=164) were recruited from a University Hospital in B city, from November 1 to 23, 2012. Questionnaires included measures of customer orientation, nursing productivity, organizational commitment, job stress, and turnover intention. Data were analysed with the SPSS/WIN 18.0 program using descriptive statistics, t-test, ANOVA, Pearson correlation coefficient, and stepwise multiple regression. Results: The mean age of participants was 25 years, 96% were single, and 54.9% had a bachelor degree. Organizational commitment (${\beta}$=.387) and job stress (${\beta}$=.280) significantly explained the variance in customer orientation ($R^2$=15.8). Customer orientation (${\beta}$=.479), education level (${\beta}$=.196), and turnover intention (${\beta}$=-.184) significantly explained the variance in nursing productivity ($R^2$=35.3). Customer orientation was the most important factor in explaining the variance in the nursing productivity. Conclusion: This study highlighted the relationship between customer orientation and nursing productivity. Improving the customer orientation could result in increasing nursing productivity.

This study examined how empowerment of restaurant cooks influences job satisfaction, organizational commitment, and customer orientation, targeting 260 restaurant cooks in the Busan area. SPSS 18.0 was employed to perform frequency, factor, reliability, and multiple (simple) regression analyses. Empowerment was analyzed using 3 factors (self-authority, meaning and competence) while job satisfaction, organizational commitment, and customer orientation were analyzed using 1 factor each. Results of a correlation analysis of the hypothesized model revealed positive correlations among the variables. Multiple (simple) regression analyses of the hypothesized model found that the sub empowerment factors will have a positive influence on job satisfaction with self-authority (${\beta}$=.372, p<.001), meaning (${\beta}$=.451, p<.001), competence (${\beta}$=.240, p<.001). It was also found that the sub empowerment factors will have a positive influence on organizational commitment with self-authority (${\beta}$=.433, p<.001), meaning (${\beta}$=.473, p<.001), competence (${\beta}$=.302, p<.001). Lastly, the hypotheses that job satisfaction will have a positive influence on organizational commitment (${\beta}$=.775, p<.001), that job satisfaction will have a positive influence on customer orientation (${\beta}$=.467, p<.001), and that organizational commitment will have a positive influence on customer orientation (${\beta}$=.567, p<.001) were adopted.

Corporate social media has been recently used in customer relationship management in many ways to improve product sales and company images. Not much research exists on corporate social media, Therefore, in this paper, we propose a research model to identify how corporate social media enhances corporate's CRM quality, resulting in forming customer's purchase intention. In detail, this paper is to examine how customer's perceived value of corporate social media influences CRM quality(CRM trust and CRM commitment), and then how CRM quality affects purchase intention. To this end, a total of 300 questionnaires were used from online panel respondents to test research hypothesis. The findings showed that service performance value and monetary value were major determinants of CRM trust, however, there was no association between brand integration value and CRM trust. In addition, the effects of service performance value and brand integration value on CRM commitment were found whereas monetary value had no effect on CRM commitment. The results also showed that CRM trust and CRM commitment played a critical role in forming of purchase intention. Theoretical and practical Implications are discussed.
