The purpose of this study is to derive theoretical and policy implications by specifying the meaning of proactive administration through the review of theories related to previous studies and analyzing the effect of ethical leadership and job autonomy on proactive administration. To verify the hypotheses, an analysis was conducted on 275 surveys after a pilot-test. As a result of the analysis, it was found that the ethical leadership and job autonomy had a significant influence on proactive administration. This suggests that the higher ethical attributes of the leader, the higher the job autonomy of the person in charge when performing the works, the higher the possibility of proactive administration proactive administration being realized. In addition, it was found that the ethical climate had a moderating effect between job autonomy and proactive administration, but the moderating effect did not appear between ethical leadership and proactive administration. This result means that if the ethical climate is high, it is highly likely to positively accept autonomous actions for works, which can have a greater influence on proactive administration. However, although it did not have a moderating effect, each variable of ethical leadership and ethical climate had a significant influence on proactive administration, confirming that proactive administration has a significant relationship with ethical aspects within the organization.

And this study found that self-efficacy and trust in leader played moderating roles in the relationship between ethical leadership and employees' behaviors. Based on the findings of the study, this study presented managerial implications and suggestions for future studies.

Animal welfare was introduced relatively late to Korea in comparison with Western countries. Nonetheless, the Korean government has continuously improved animal welfare-friendly regulations as policy instruments. Given the current situation, it is predicted that spontaneous settlement of the animal welfare policies will be difficult and may cause conflict in the farm animal industry. To identify and categorize conflicts caused by animal-welfare-related policies in the last five years, we investigated the awareness of animal welfare among Korean hen farms and the level of compliance with the animal welfare regulations. We collected a sample of 53 egg-laying chicken farm operators (e.g., owners or head managers) was collected through the on-site survey (90% confidence level (Z-score: 1.65) and 10.18% tolerance, based on a number of 797 egg-laying farms in 2020). Ethical conflicts on the farms were categorized into three different types according to the hen farm's ethical awareness level: passive, moderate, and active. Additionally, we investigated the correlation between compliance with regulations and ethical consideration. This study confirmed that compliance with animal welfare-related regulations significantly correlated to the level of ethical consideration of farm operators. Interestingly, we also observed that farm operators did not comply with the regulation despite their high level of awareness of animal welfare. This conflict implies contradiction and unresolved ethical dilemmas. Therefore, this study argues that the policies cause conflict in the field despite the certain level of effectiveness on animal welfare regulations.

During the last decade, genomic cohort study has been developed in many countries by linking health data and genetic data in stored samples. Genomic cohort study is expected to find key genetic components that contribute to common diseases, thereby promising great advance in genome medicine. While many countries endeavor to build biobank systems, biobank-based genome research has raised important ethical concerns including genetic privacy, confidentiality, discrimination, and informed consent. Informed consent for biobank poses an important question: whether true informed consent is possible in population-based genomic cohort research where the nature of future studies is unforeseeable when consent is obtained. Due to the sensitive character of genetic information, protecting privacy and keeping confidentiality become important topics. To minimize ethical problems and achieve scientific goals to its maximum degree, each country strives to build population-based genomic cohort research project, by organizing public consultation, trying public and expert consensus in research, and providing safeguards to protect privacy and confidentiality.
