Other-regarding preferences (such as trust, reciprocity and altruism) between companies, between consumers and retailers, and between employers and employees are integral elements in determining economic performance. Social trust which is a core element of social capital, especially, is known to reduce transaction costs, help solve collective action problems, and contribute to economic, social, and political development. Therefore, social trust has been given a great deal of attention across an array of academic disciplines for its role in promoting cooperation among individuals and groups, and for its positive influence on economic performance. Most studies describe Korea as a low-trust society than Japan or China. To identify the causes of social trust, this paper focuses on differences of social values (perception on competition and wealth accumulation) in 4 countries (Japan, China, Korea, and United States). Based on World Values Survey data, this paper analyzes effects of the social values on social trust. Social trust was measured by degree to which a respondent thinks that most people can be trusted. Perception on competition was measured by the degree to which a respondent thinks that competition is harmful, and perception on wealth accumulation was done by the degree to which a respondent thinks that wealth can grow so there is enough for everyone. The results showed that social trust was affected by perception on competition and wealth accumulation. A respondent showed higher level of social trust when he (or she) perceived positively competition and wealth accumulation. For enhancing social trust in a country, it is not easy to reduce income inequality and corruption which were reported as causes of social trust by previous studies. Compared to them, social values can be changed more easily by various concrete measures like education and mass-media. Differently from previous studies this paper stresses the concrete measures to enhance social trust in a country.

The global financial crisis in 2008 eroded trust towards the banking industry overall. To make such institutions more transparent, the International Accounting Standard Board developed the International Financial Reporting Standard 9 (IFRS 9). After the announcement of IFRS 9, academic research has primarily focused on examining the stability of banks due to early loan-loss recognition guidelines under the new system. There appears to be a lack of understanding of how IFRS 9 has influenced institutional depositors' opinions of bank trustworthiness. Hence the goal of this study is to determine how the adoption of IFRS 9 by banks has impacted perceptions of transparency, trust, and skepticism, from the perspective of large institutional depositors. This research was conducted in the context of Malaysian banks that follow the IFRS 9 guidelines. A framework is proposed using the signaling theory, leading to the development of a set of hypotheses. The hypotheses are tested with data collected from 654 financial analysts working in Malaysian companies that are large institutional depositors. The results indicate that the adoption of IFRS 9 has led to higher levels of perceptions of bank transparency and trust, and lower levels of skepticism towards such banks.

Purpose - Drawing on relational institutional theory, we explored how demographic similarity between board members of a firm and newly emerged political elites led to firms' increased financial resource acquisition such as leverage ratio and decreased export intensity amidst the Asian financial crisis. We also studied how a firm's leverage ratio and export intensity can further affect firm profitability and financial credit rating. Design/methodology - We revisited and explored a unique, unprecedented crisis that affected most Korean firms: the Asian financial crisis that coincided with a governmental shift from a conservative to a liberal party. We collected demographic information from 432 listed Korean firms' board members and 43 political elites of the Blue House from 1998-2000 to create a demographic similarity measurement. We collected firms' financial information, built panel data, and used ordinary least squares regression to test our theory. Findings - Our results showed that demographic similarity between a firm's directors and newly emerged politicians had a positive association with a firm's leverage ratio but a negative association with a firm's export intensity. A firm's leverage ratio had a negative relationship with firm performance measured by firm profitability and financial credit rating. A firm's export intensity showed a positive effect on firm performance. Originality/value - We highlighted that during an economic crisis that coincided with a governmental shift and change of leading political actors, firms exerted efforts to survey the environment and build new external stakeholder relationships to cope with the changing landscape. We proposed that in an emerging market like Korea where low levels of trust and favoritism are prevalent across society, one of the relational institutional strategies that firms can employ is the selection of directors with similar demographic characteristics to political elites based on factors including birthplace and school affiliations. We examined the efforts of firms to build political networks with newly empowered political elites during a financial crisis, and the consequences of establishing such networks. We highlighted that during a financial crisis, the demographic similarity between a firm's board members and newly emerged politicians can provide firms with access to financial resources but can also result in poor management and reduced effort to enhance its international competitiveness.

신뢰는 개인적인 감정으로 개개인의 특성 및 사회분위기의 영향을 받는 측면이 존재한다. 그런데 기존 정부신뢰에 대한 연구에서는 정부의 공정성 및 전문성과 같은 정부적 요소들에 초점을 맞추고 있다. 즉, 주로 정부의 능력 및 특성에 따라 정부에 대한 신뢰도가 영향을 받는 것으로 파악한다. 하지만 정부신뢰는 이러한 정부적 요소 외에 개인적 성향과 특성 같은 개인적 요소들에 의해 큰 영향을 받을 가능성이 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 정부신뢰가 정부적 요소뿐만 아니라 개인의 가치관 및 일반적인 신뢰 성향과 같은 개인적 요소에도 영향을 받는가를 살펴본다. 본 연구의 분석 결과, 정부신뢰는 정부의 전문성과 공정성과 같은 정부 요소와 정의 관계에 있었다. 그리고 연령, 정당지지 성향, 현재의 행복도, 향후 국가에 대한 전망 등 개인적 가치관 요소 및 기업신뢰와 같은 개인의 신뢰 성향도 정부신뢰에 영향을 미치고 있었다. 이는 정부신뢰가 정부의 전문성, 공정성 등과 같은 정부의 변수만이 아니라 개인의 가치관 및 신뢰 성향 등에 의해서도 영향을 받고 있음을 말해준다. 정부신뢰는 단순히 정부의 행태에 의해서만 영향을 받는 변수가 아니라, 국민 개개인의 가치관 및 신뢰 성향과도 연관된다는 것을 시사한다.

The effective management of knowledge has become one of the critical success factors in current organizations. In spite of the extensive use of Knowledge Management System (KMS), useful information and knowledge resources are still transmitted through personal networks among people in organizations. Thus, social network theory which focuses on social relationships in organization can be a fruitful theoretical resource for enhancing Knowledge Management (KM) performances. In this study, we investigate the effects of intra-team network characteristics (i.e., group density and degree of centralization) and external boundary spanning activities on knowledge management performances of a team. We also acknowledge that all group members do not necessarily agree on the team goal and actively disseminate useful information and knowledge. Drawing on the political perspective on KM which emphasizes the role of trust among group members, we examine the mediating effects of team trust between internal/external network characteristics and KM performances. From the data of 220 teams in financial companies in Korea, we found that: (1) group density had positive effects on KM performances (i.e., knowledge creation, sharing, and use). (2) However, centralization was not significantly associated with KM performances. (3) Team trust was found to be an important factor mediating the relationship between intra-team network characteristics, boundary spanning activities, and KM performances. Based on these results, we discuss and suggest possible implications of the findings when designing and implementing KM practices.

여성가족부는 2011년 10월부터 온라인게임에 대한 셧다운제를 실시하였다. 셧다운제는 게임 과몰입을 방지하고 청소년의 수면권을 보호하는 것을 정책 목표로 내세웠지만, 셧다운제가 과연 청소년들의 게임 과몰입을 해결할 수 있는지, 정책의 실효성 있는 집행이 가능한지에 대해 많은 반론이 존재하였다. 본 연구는 게이머와 비게이머간에 셧다운제 정책 효과에 대한 인식 차이가 존재하는지, 그리고 셧다운제의 실시가 게이머와 비게이머의 정부 신뢰에 대한 인식에 어떠한 영향을 미치었는지를 살펴보도록 하였다. 설문 조사 결과, 게이머는 셧다운제에 대해 부정적으로 보고 정부신뢰가 감소되었으며, 비게이머들은 셧다운제를 긍정적으로 보고 정부신뢰가 증가되는 효과가 존재하였다. 즉 셧다운제는 비게이머들이 정책효과를 믿으면서 실시한 정책으로, 막상 정책대상자들인 게이머들은 정책 효과를 인정하지 않는 성격을 지니는 정책으로서의 특성을 지닌다.

This paper addresses the relationship between public housing tenure and social disadvantage. The research examines social capital levels among public tenants in Australia, concentrating on their level of interpersonal trust and confidence in a range of public institutions. Through multivariate analyses of national survey data it also profiles the social and political background of public housing tenants. Although public housing tenants have access to secure and affordable housing, they appear to be less trusting and 'happy' than private renters or homeowners, and exhibit less confidence in some institutions such as the Australian parliament, universities and the ABC (the Australian public television broadcaster). These results probably reflect the residualised nature of public housing in Australia and indicate that public tenants are likely to be 'alienated' from certain aspects of mainstream culture. However, public tenants have higher levels of confidence than homeowners in the Australian defence forces and trade unions. So public housing may 'shore up' confidence and social capital in some areas, and levels of trust would be lower if public housing was not available to disadvantaged citizens.
