The paper examines social entrepreneurial intention through outcome expectations. The proposed model incorporates outcome expectations from social cognitive career theory and theory of planned behaviors. The study also introduces a scale for outcome expectations in social entrepreneurship, including solving social problems, innovation, family tradition of social involvement, meaning in life, prestige and social recognition, competitive and favorite job and wealth. A survey of 279 students was conducted through face-to-face structured interviews. The confirm factor analysis and technique of structural equation modeling were used to explore relationships among latent constructs. Research results show that the outcomes impact only through three determinants of theory of planned behavior and do not have significant impact to social entrepreneurial intention. It suggests that outcome expectations may be a flexible factor. Individual outcome expectations can shift to motivations when facing favorable conditions such as family support, government support, etc. The findings suggest that the ability to predict social entrepreneurial intention of attitude toward behavior, subjective norms, and perceived behavioral control. The proposed model in this study contributes importantly to the emerging literature on entrepreneurial intention, particularly to social entrepreneurial intention. This study is also the first quantitative study to measure the impact of outcome expectations on social entrepreneurial intention.

Religious intolerance has become a common feature of many countries in recent times. Studies have revealed a worldwide increase in government regulations and social hostilities against religious beliefs and practices. The stifling impact of both government and society on the market for religion, warrants closer scrutiny. This study examines the relationship between government regulations and social hostilities towards religious beliefs and practices, for the period of 2001-2011 for a sample of 45 European countries. The Generalized Method of Moments dynamic panel estimation technique is employed to analyze the micro panel dataset of 45 European countries, to establish the possible relationships that may exist between these variables. The theoretical framework for this study is based on the Religious Economies Theory and the Supply Side Theory of Religion. The results of this study show evidence of the positive relationship between government regulations and social hostility. Interestingly, the study also revealed that the impact of social hostility on the level of government restrictions is smaller in magnitude compared to the reverse impact of government restrictions on social hostilities, indicating the dangerous role played by governments in inciting social hostilities, when they regulate or restrict religious beliefs and practices.

최근 들어 사회적인 상호작용 방식이 동영상을 통해 정보를 주고받는 방식으로 변하고 있다. 그래서 본 연구에서는 '나'와 '다른 사람'의 영상을 구성요소로 하는 새로운 소셜 비디오 플랫폼을 제안하고자 한다. '다른 사람'의 개성(Personality)과 '나'의 개성이 '나'에게 어떤 영향을 주는지 알아보고, 2가지 요소를 어떻게 나타내주어야 하는지 알아보기 위해 사회적 영향 이론(Social Impact Theory)과 자기 점검 이론(Self-Monitoring Theory)을 적용하여 영상을 시청하는 '나'의 개성과 '다른 사람'의 개성이 사용자의 긍정성과 소속감에 어떤 영향을 미치는지 알아보았다. 그리고 이를 실증적으로 검증하기 위해 실제 소셜 비디오 플랫폼을 구축하여 실험을 진행하였다. 그 결과, 사용자들은 자신의 영상이 화면에 제시되었을 때, 긍정성을 더 많이 느끼는 것을 확인하였다. 하지만 자신의 영상이 함께 제시되면서, 주변영상에 나타난 다른 사람들의 모습이 여성성이 높아질수록 오히려 느끼는 긍정성은 줄어드는 것으로 확인되었다. 또한 다른 사람들의 모습이 남성성이 높을 때, 사용자는 소속감을 더 크게 느끼는 것을 확인하였다. 본 연구 결과를 통해 새로운 소셜 비디오 플랫폼의 구성과 형태에 대한 시사점을 제공할 수 있을 것으로 보인다.

On the underpinning theory of the Resource Based Theory, this research examines the impact of corporate social responsibility and green marketing strategy on business performance with the moderating role balanced scorecard. Corporate social responsibility concentrates on related to government, the environment, customers, and employees. Green marketing strategy concentrates on approaches in terms of green products, green prices, green places, and green promotion. Business performance is measured by groups of indicators financial, and non-financial. The moderating role balanced the scorecard at the financial, customer, process, learning, and growth level. Research results with survey data from 419 managers at different food enterprises in Ho Chi Minh City processed through the structural analysis method, showed that corporate social responsibility has the strongest positive impact on business performance, followed by the green marketing strategy as the second strong positive impact on the business performance and results also showed that the balanced scorecard moderating role increases the level of the strong positive impact of the above relationship. Besides, it also showed the difference in the demographic control variables. Based on the findings, some implications are drawn to help the managers of enterprises improve the moderating role balanced scorecard when implementing corporate social responsibility and green marketing strategies thereby contributing to increasing business performance.

Purpose - This research aims to examine the influence of social capital formed on SNS on SNS users' life satisfaction. This research divides social capital into bridging and bonding social capital based on Social Capital Theory and suggests that each type of social capital will have a positive impact on SNS users' life satisfaction. In addition, this research suggests the self-construal of SNS users as a moderating variable based on Self-Construal Theory. Research design, data, and methodology - To test the hypotheses presented, an online survey was conducted with adult participants. An online research company was hired to conduct an online survey; survey participants were volunteer adult participants residing in Korea. And data was analyzed using SPSS. Results - Analysis results showed that the impact of bonding social capital on life satisfaction was not statistically different between SNS users of differing self-construals(independent vs. interdependent self-construal). However, this study also determined that the impact of bridging social capital on life satisfaction was greater for SNS users with an interdependent self-construal as opposed to those with an independent self-construal. Conclusions - The results of this study expand the scope of available research on social capital formed on SNS and provide practical implications for SNS providers.

본 연구에서는 소셜 비디오 플랫폼 환경에서 동영상 기반 커뮤니케이션을 통해 동영상을 시청하는 사용자와 타인들 간의 관계가 사용자의 긍정적 감정과 사회적 소속감에 어떠한 영향을 미치는지 살펴보았다. 해당 연구에서는 사회 충격 이론(Social Impact Theory)과 자기 점검 이론(Self-Monitoring Theory)이라는 심리학 이론을 토대로 동영상 기반의 새로운 상호작용 수단을 활용한 대안을 검증하기 위해 실제 동영상 기반의 소셜 비디오 플랫폼 환경을 구축하여 실험 연구를 진행하였다. ANOVA 분석 결과, 동영상을 보는 환경에서 타인의 모습이 실시간으로 보일 때, 또는 나 자신의 얼굴이 화면에 함께 제시될 때, 그렇지 않을 때 보다 사용자는 긍정적인 감정과 사회적 소속감을 더 크게느끼는 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 또한 위의 두 조건이 동시에 제공될 때가 그렇지 않을 때보다 사용자들이 느끼는 긍정적 감정의 증가 폭이 더 컸다. 본 연구 결과를 통해 궁극적으로 새로운 소셜 비디오 플랫폼의 형태에 대한 통찰을 얻을 수 있을 것이라 기대한다.

The study investigates the mediating effect of Korean firms' corporate social responsibility (CSR) in the relationship between Korean executives' religiosity, their individual social responsibility (ISR), and corporate financial performance (CFP). As executives lead the firms' strategies and policies, their religiosity or ISR may have a significant influence in attaining the firm's CSR and influencing CFP. The upper echelon theory, agency theory, and stakeholder theory are used to explain the link between individual-level drivers of CSR, a firm's CSR, and CFP. The upper echelon theory, agency theory, and stakeholder theory are integrated into the conceptual model, which explains the relationships between proposed constructs in this study. This study employs survey data of 421 Korean companies. The confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) technique was used to test the proposed hypotheses. The main result shows that Korean executives' religiosity and their ISR positively influence CFP when mediated by CSR. The findings of this study suggest that Korean executives' personal values such as their religiosity and ISR can impact the firm's CSR activities or financial performance. Overall, this paper responds to the recent calls in the CSR literature to examine the individual-level drivers from non-western contexts by shedding more light on the Korean context.
