Korea's water management system is typically a multi-ministerial system, so its efficiency is declining. In order to propose current state and improvement plan of the water management in Korea, this study discussed the improvement of central and local water management. The water management problems are lack of water policy coordination system, conflicts between ministries due to function of water quantity, water quality and agricultural water, redundant investment and inefficiency, insufficient recognition of water autonomy, concentrated central management and deepening regional disparities, lack of financial resources, etc. Hence, improvement to solve the problem includes strengthening the coordination of water management functions between ministries, transferring water management functions of central ministries and strengthening local capacity, and desirable role allocation of central and local governments. In addition, improvement at the local include efforts to change awareness of the water detailed and get water autonomy, integrate management of the watershed, strengthen the local community, secure financial resources, etc.

The Korean semiconductor industry has made a great contribution to growth of Korean economy for the last decades by maintaining a top position in terms of Korean total annual export volume. However, the advanced semiconductor equipment and materials that are used for the production of semiconductor devices still depend on the suppliers from Europe, Japan, and America who have an influential position in the Korean semiconductor industry. The objective of this study is to empirically investigate the attributes determining the extent of autonomy in decision making for the Korean subsidiaries of multinational corporations in the semiconductor industry. This study found there were differences in the extent of autonomy in decision making in terms of the global strategies the multinational corporations pursue. This study surveyed employees at the Korean subsidiaries and joint venture companies of semiconductor multinational corporations and collected 726 survey questionnaires. Several statistical analyses including frequency analysis, reliability analysis, factor analysis, multiple regression analysis and ANOVA were performed using the collected sample data. Based on the analyses, this study found as follow: Firstly, from the factor analysis, this study found Korean subsidiaries faced three sources of uncertainties stemmed from political conditions, competent conditions, demand and supply conditions. The internal resources were characterized by the independencies of production capability, financial capability, marketing capability and human resource management capability. The operational performance was determined by total revenue, net profit and market share growth. Secondly, it was found the uncertainties from political condition and competent condition and the independencies of financial capability and marketing capability partially influenced the extent of autonomy in decision making. The independencies of production capability and human resource management capability significantly influenced the autonomy of decision making in the most areas. It was also found an increase of total revenue, net profit and market share growth partially affected the extent of autonomy in decision making of the Korean subsidiaries. Finally, it was found that the polycentrism of global management by multinational corporations seemed to bring a higher extent of autonomy in decision making than ethnocentrism or geocentrism of global management. Based on the results, this study provided managerial implications regarding the extent of autonomy in decision making for Korean subsidiaries of multinational corporations in order to help management to enhance their business capabilities.

In this study, an analysis is conducted to understand the effect of the cabin crew's image-making autonomy on job enthusiasm, service performance and organizational performance. And this is conducted on cabin crew members in airlines with autonomy based on image making standards and a total of 109 copies are used for final analysis. First, the image-making autonomy show significant positive (+) influence on all of the sub-factors of job enthusiasm such as job vitality, job commitment, and job commitment. Second, all sub-factors of job enthusiasm, job vitality, job commitment and job commitment show a significant positive (+) influence on service performance. Third, service performance show a significant positive (+) influence relationship on organizational performance. As a result, it is expected that airlines will be used as a basis for easing the regulations for image making of cabin crew and introducing an autonomous management system in the future.

This study seeks to identify effects derived from emotional labor in the distribution industry, and draw ways to systematically manage the employees by exploring effects of the emotion work on performance. For the purpose, literature reviews and empirical experiments were conducted to find out effects of emotional labor and false face acting on emotion work and organizational performance and effects of social support and job autonomy on the relationship between emotion work and organizational performance. To verify the hypothesis, we conducted a hierarchical regression analysis and structural equation model analysis using SPSS 20 and AMOS19. The result of the verification in this study is as follows: First, effects of emotional labor on burnout was found to be statistically significant, second, as for the path-coefficient for "emotional labor ${\rightarrow}$ emotion work" and "emotional labor ${\rightarrow}$ job satisfaction" was not statistically significant, while the path-coefficient for "emotional labor ${\rightarrow}$ service level" was found to be statistically significant. Third, effects of emotion work on job satisfaction was found statistically significant, fourth, emotion work on the service level was found statistically significant, fifth, effects of false face acting on emotion work was found statistically significant, sixth, effects of false face acting on burnout was statistically significant, seventh, moderating were found statistically significant and lastly, moderating effects of the relationship between emotion work from job autonomy and organization performance was not verified in job satisfaction, while emotion work, job autonomy, and interaction variable in service level were statistically significant.

This study deals with legal issues and solutions for a successful management of the Busan Port Authority(BPA) and proposes Busan Metropolitan City Ordinance for the effectiveness of BPA because the role of BPA is to improve Busan regional economy and to strengthen the competitiveness of Busan Port. In order to prepare the ordinance, this paper suggests that the current legislation related to Port Authority(PA), which empowers central government to control the management of port, should be amended to strengthen the port autonomy by allowing PA and local government to control the management and operation on port independently and enabling the building of cooperative system from the City for BPA.

The purpose of this study was to explore the effect of creativity management factors on R&D performance. To do this, the data(885 cases) was collected from 19 Korean Government-supported Research Institutes, and 3 hypothesis derived from model of creativity management(after here CM) were tested. Major findings are as follows: 1) CM factors are grouped into diversity, autonomy, connectivity, redundancy and flexibility factors; 2) The factors that can explain R&D performance are connectivity, autonomy, diversity and flexibility factors; 3) All CM factors have significant relationship with satisfaction of the employees; 4) Flexibility and connectivity factors give effects on turnover intention of the members. This study has some limitations in model building and empirical testing. But this study provided the theoretical and managerial implications about CM and R&D management, especially Government-supported Research Institute.
