This study examines the impact of consumer ethics on the CSR motive attributions and, the subsequent consumer perception of the firm's ethicality. Data of 512 adults were collected nationwide using a self-administered questionnaire online. Exploratory and confirmative factor analysis were employed to identify six underlying dimensions of consumer ethics, as follows: actively benefiting from illegal actions, passively benefiting from illegal actions, no harm/no foul, economic benefiting from illegal actions, intellectual property infringement, and pro-environmental behavior. In order to examine the relationships between consumer ethics, CSR motive attribution, and consumer perceived ethicality, a structural equation modeling test was conducted. The results demonstrated that actively benefiting from illegal actions, economic benefiting from illegal action, and pro-environmental behavior had impacts on CSR motive attributions such as strategy-driven attribution, value-driven attribution, and stakeholder-driven attribution. Consequently, strategy-driven attribution and value-driven attribution influenced the consumer perception of the firm's ethicality, whereas stakeholder-driven attribution did not. This study provides an understanding of the CSR attribution mechanism from the view of consumer ethics that are multi-dimensional. The ethical judgements on different types of consumer behavior lead to attributions of CSR motives and subsequently their perception of a firm's ethicality.

본 연구의 목적은 윤리 의식의 학제적 융합적 적용을 통해, 광고 표현에서의 '그림자에 의한 실체의 잠식 현상' 제거 필요성을 환기시키는데 있다. 정성적 접근을 통해, 광고 표현이 윤리 의식에 대한 충분한 고려 없이 가시적 성과 중심으로 기획, 집행될 경우, 목표 달성의 단기적 효율성은 높일 수 있지만, 의도치 않은 '그림자의 부메랑 현상'을 이끌어 내기 쉽고, 이는 소비자의 윤리적 방어기제를 환기시켜, 결국 '그림자에 의한 실체의 잠식 현상'을 유발할 수 있음을 제시하고 있다. 결론적으로 본 연구는, 첫째, 자본주의 사회에서의 상업적 이윤 추구가 공동체 사회에서의 윤리 의식 공감대 확보를 전제로 진행되어야 하며, 둘째, 윤리 의식의 교육, 공유, 실천, 및 확인 과정이 통합적으로 전제될 때, 기업은 이윤 추구라는 미시 실용적 목적과 사회와의 생태적 교감이라는 거시 환경적 목적을 병행 달성할 수 있게 되고, 이는 장기적인 측면에서 기업의 지속가능 경영의 토대가 될 것임을 제시하고 있다.

지금까지 브랜드 진정성에 관한 선행연구들은 브랜드 진정성을 측정할 수 있는 척도를 개발하는데 집중하여 왔다. 그러나 이제는 통합적인 시각에서 제안된 척도의 활용에 대한 고려가 필요할 것이다. 이에 본 연구는 브랜드 권위성과 윤리성이 구매 추천의도에 미치는 영향에 있어서 브랜드 진정성의 매개적 변수효과 모형을 개발하고 검증하고자 한다. 본 연구를 위해 설문방법을 이용하였고, 분석을 위한 데이터는 직장인을 대상으로 수집한 총 136개의 데이터를 적용하였다. 그리고 자료의 분석은 구조방정식모형을 사용하였다. 분석결과, 첫째, 브랜드 권위성과 윤리성은 구매추천의도에 직접적인 영향을 미치기 보다는, 브랜드 진정성을 매개로하여 영향을 미치는 것이 더 효과적인 것으로 나타났다. 둘째, 브랜드 권위성과 윤리성은 브랜드 진정성에 영향을 미치는 주요 변수인 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구의 결과는 직장인의 구매 추천의도에 대한 정보를 탐색함과 동시에 브랜드 관리 정책 수립에 있어서 브랜드 진정성의 중요성을 제시하였다는데 의의가 있다.

Especially, among the two factors, ethicality has shown to be more efficient to alleviate exhaust compared with positive behavior of a leader. Conclusions - Theoretical perceived ethical leadership and LMX toward a leader, helping assistance, and job burnout are statistically significant, however, the helping behavior of members is the factor increasing a job burnout. These results can be interpreted as the difficulties of relation setting with the members for the leader, and although loyalty and responsibility toward right leader may induce helping behavior, and positive behavior for organization can impact on the job burnout.

Phenomenological method was adopted as a qualitative research approach. Participants were nine adults who were interviewed in depth on their experiences of fair tourism. Data analysis led to the emergence of seven categories (sharing and volunteerism, environment and animal protection, tourism created together, communication and relationship, from consumption to experience, ethicality and fairness, contemplating life) and 21 subcategories. This research was a significant step in providing options to explore the improvement of ethical-tourism and may have implications for the future development of tourism. This study also has various implications for tour operators, consumers, and government. In future all stakeholders should make efforts to establish the tour culture which encourages consumers to consider the ethicality and fairness of their choices as tourists.

With the rising importance placed on sustainability for brands, a plethora of research addresses consumer responses concerning eco-friendly products. While positive effects of eco-friendly traits on beauty products have been discussed, this study addresses a wide research gap in the makeup category. Based on the goal-attribute theory and the lay theory of ethicality, detrimental effects of eco-friendly ingredient claims on perceived appearance enhancement attributes (AEA) were examined. A between-subject, single-factor (eco-friendly ingredient claims present vs. absent) web-based experimental design tested the effect of conditions on makeup products that emphasized AEA. Results found a negative effect of eco-friendly ingredient claims on perceived AEA, supporting previous literature regarding the 'green gap'. Evidence showed that perceived AEA fully mediated the effect of eco-friendly claims on purchase intention, which was moderated by AEA preference. Interestingly, findings show that the purchase intention of respondents with a near-average preference for AEA was not moderated. Results contribute to preexisting literature by extending the lay theory of ethicality and product function mismatch to the field of makeup. Managerial implications are discussed, including opportunities for eco-friendly makeup products to appeal to alternative benefits.
