Social entrepreneurship is increasingly gaining interest in developing countries for the great benefits of society. In Vietnam, the concept of social entrepreneurship is still quite new. Entrepreneurial intention is regarded as a useful and practial approach for understanding actual entrepreneurial behavior. The purpose of this paper is to develop an integrated model based on planned behavior to examine the direct and indirect effect of perceived access to finance on social entrepreneurial intention. The confirm factor analysis to study the latent constructs underlying determinants of planned behavioral theory, perceived access to finance and social entrepreneurial intention. Then, it applies the technique of structural equation modeling to explore relationships among latent constructs. There is no direct relationship between perceived access to finance and social entrepreneurial intention. Perceived access to finance only indirectly increases entrepreneurial intention through attitude towards behavior and perceived behavioral. This study focuses on the perceptual factor of financial access that affects entrepreneurial intentions. The study does not cover other in-depth issues of social entrepreneurship such as decision making, leadership, personality traits, social capital, and human capital. To establish an environment with a strong social entrepreneurial intention, a focus on developing perceived access to finance is an extremely important factor.

How does social interaction among investors affect decision-making in the online social lending platform? And what is the reason? In this study, in order to obtain the answer, we carried out case study research of Moneyauction and Popfunding, which are domestic online social lending platforms. We conducted interviews with managements of both social lending platforms and investors and analyzed statistical data including investment records, social interaction history between investors and lenders from both platforms. In addition, researchers performed direct participation and observation through the platforms as real investment members. As a result, we revealed that social interaction among investors has a material impact on the investment decision-making. Also we found that investors build trust by socially interacting with each other and this trust building leads to the investment decision making. Our findings confirm that social lending investors's decision-making process comply with the social embeddedness theory and imply that loan applicants must do their best efforts to display sincerity and truthfulness through their posting.

Mobile payment services are evolving into a variety of integrated platforms that greatly affect the lives of consumers. In addition, the importance of mobile payment services is being used as a means of payment in cross-border e-commerce. Accordingly, although a number of related studies have been conducted, most of the studies are based on the technology acceptance model. This study analyzes consumer acceptance intention of mobile payment services by applying consumption value theory. Four dimensions were derived from the theory of consumption value: functional value, emotional value, social value and situational value. With this, we identified the impact on consumer acceptance of mobile payment services. The analysis was performed using a structural equation model. Researchers collected 300 copies of the questionnaire from Chinese consumers and used it for analysis. Empirical analysis shows that functional value, emotional value, social value and situational value are all increasing consumers' willingness to accept mobile payment services. In addition, only social values were showing differences in their influence on the acceptance of mobile payment services with age. This study contributes to the development of the relevant field in that few studies describe mobile payment services by applying consumption value theory.

This study aims to investigate what communication phenomenon social viewing is associated with, and how satisfaction with using live commerce affects, taking into account that live commerce is a form of content consumption based on social viewing. In particular, social viewing is classified in this study as message production and sharing activities that influence users' satisfaction with live commerce viewing, as well as how two-dimensional social viewing behaviors are associated with users' perception of social presence. Then, the impact of these factors on improving viewing satisfaction is determined. It is also designed to investigate the moderating effect of social presence and viewing satisfaction as a function of the size of users' social networks by taking into account how social viewing affects the degree of social exchange among users. The findings of the analysis are as follows. First, social viewing behaviors. i.e., sharing and production behavior were identified as strong factors that have a direct impact on social presence and viewing satisfaction. Second, social presence plays a moderating role in the relationship between social viewing behavior and viewing satisfaction. Third, the impact of sharing behavior on social presence and viewing satisfaction was greater than the that of production behavior. Fourth, network size (number of followers and followings) had no direct effect on social reality or viewing satisfaction, but it had a moderating effect on the relationship between production behavior and social presence. Based on the findings, the implications and recommendations were discussed.

The previous researches about knowledge sharing were proceeded in terms of KMS (Knowledge Management System) in center. However, knowledge sharing is recently applied to Internet space, which is open to every users, as well as KMS, which is qualified for restricted people. For example, some portal sites, such as Naver, the most popular portal in Korea, have virtual spaces to share users' knowledges and it is common that many users use the spaces. Knowledge sharing online, compared with KMS, will be more advanced to promote intention for knowledge sharing because of the character of Internet space that is open to all users. Nevertheless, there are few researches about knowledge sharing in the Internet. Considering this situation, this study is attempted to figure out the factors to promote Internet knowledge sharing, based on social capital theory and self-expression concept. A survey of experienced Internet user and PLS (Partial Least Square) were utilized for analysis. The test of this study reveals that social capital and self-expression are significant factors to influence knowledge sharing intention, and that also personal innovation and self-efficacy are significantly related to the self-expression. However, personal innovation does not have significant impact on social capital. According to the result, self-expression, as well as trust and system itself, has significantly effect on knowledge sharing intention in order to promote knowledge sharing in the Internet.

Anonymity plays an increasingly important role on social media. This is reflected by more and more applications enabling anonymous interactions. However, do social media users behave different when they are anonymous? In our research, we investigated social media services meant for solely anonymous use (Jodel) and for widely spread non-anonymous sharing of pictures and videos (Instagram). This study examines the impact of anonymity on the behavior of users on Jodel compared to their non-anonymous use of Instagram as well as the differences between the user types: producer, consumer, and participant. Our approach is based on the uses and gratifications theory (U>) by E. Katz, specifically on the sought gratifications (motivations) of self-presentation, information, socialization, and entertainment. Since Jodel is mostly used in Germany, we developed an online survey in German. The questions addressed the three different user types and were subdivided according to the four motivation categories of the U>. In total 664 test persons completed the questionnaire. The results show that anonymity indeed influences users' usage behavior depending on user types and different U> categories.

This study adopts organismic integration theory (OIT) to classify and contrast the predominant roles of five motivations (i.e., economic incentives, self-presentation, information acquisition, altruism, and enjoyment) in fostering three levels of behavioral engagement on brand-related social media content. This study further examines the moderating effect of personality (thinkers vs. feelers) on these relationships. The results of PLS-SEM reveal the greater impact of autonomous motivations on content consumption (enjoyment and information acquisition) and content contribution and creation (altruism and information acquisition), compared with controlled motivations (self-presentation and economic incentives). This study also finds that thinkers mostly engage on brand-related content for information acquisition and economic incentives, whereas feelers are mostly driven by enjoyment for content consumption and by altruism for content contribution and creation. This study addresses the inconsistency in prior research findings and provides practical implications to social media marketers.

When firms are confronted with IT investment decision-makings, technical or financial factors are widely considered. However, based on sociotechnical systems theory, it is argued that in addition to the traditional factors, social issues must be considered in the IT investment decision-makings. Even though the strategic criteria of social issues within organization are important for IT investment decision-makings, the social or organizational issues are hardly considered in IT implementation and adoption(Ryan and Harrison, 2000). The objective of this study is to empirically verify how the comprehensive consideration of both of technical and organizational issues related with IT investment affects firm performance through its impact on IT technical capability and IT personnel skills. Senior managers of 153 Korean firms were surveyed, and the collected data were analyzed with PLS technique. The results of the PLS path analysis show that the comprehensive consideration of the technical and social issues affected indirectly firm performance through IT technical capability and IT personnel skills. It is found that the comprehensive consideration had a significant impact on IT technical capability and IT personnel skills, and that IT technical capability and IT personnel skills affected firm performance. IT personnel was also found to affect IT technical capability. Finally, this study found that the consideration of social factors had greater impacts on firm performance than that of technical factors.

최근 소셜 네트워크 기반으로 하는 인터넷 기업의 등장은 빠른 성장세에 있으며, 다양한 소셜 미디어 서비스 출현으로 e-비즈니스에 혁신적인 변화를 일으키고 있다. 웹(web) 상에서 지인(知人)과의 인간관계를 강화시키고, 새로운 인간관계를 형성할 수 있도록 지원하는 소셜 네트워크 서비스(Social Network Service, SNS)는 소셜 미디어 영역 중 하나이다. 이러한 소셜 네트워크 서비스 시장의 급속한 성장과 이에 따른 수익창출, 미디어 분야의 새로운 성장 동력으로의 인식으로 많은 글로벌 IT기업들이 소셜 네트워크 서비스를 가장 강력한 소셜 미디어로 인식하고 있으며, 소셜 네트워크 서비스를 이용한 다양한 비즈니스 모델 개발에 힘쓰고 있다. 본 연구는 개인정보에 대한 자기노출을 다룬 중요한 요인인 프라이버시 침해의 미인식, SNS 사용목적, 개인정보의 중요성 인식을 통해 소셜 네트워크 서비스의 노출행동에 대한 영향력을 검증하고자 한다. 또한 개인의 특정 행위, 감정적 반응을 기술하기 위한 이론적 기반을 제공하고 있는 합리적 행위이론 (Theory of Reasoned Action)을 바탕으로 소셜 네트워크 서비스에서의 자기노출에 대한 영향요인이 TRA의 행위에 대한 태도(Attitude Toward Behavior)로서의 부정적 태도(Negatude), 주관적 규범(Subjective Norm), 행위의도(Behavioral intention), 그리고 노출행동의 주요 변수들을 적용한 연구모형을 제시하였다. 위 연구모형을 실증적으로 검증하기 위해 소셜 네트워크 서비스를 이용한 경험이 있는 서울 소재 Y대학의 대학생들을 대상으로 설문조사를 실시하였다. 설문조사를 통해 총 198부의 표본을 수집하였으며, 요인들 간의 관계를 분석하기 위해 경로분석을 실시하였다. 경로분석 결과, 프라이버시 침해 미인식이 부정적 태도. 주관적 규범, 행위의도, 노출행동에 미치는 영향은 모두 유의미하지 않게 나타나 가정된 경로모형에서 프라이버시 침해의 미인식의 영향력은 유의미하지 않는 것으로 나타났다. SNS 사용목적이 부정적 태도, 주관적 규범, 행위의도, 노출행동에 미치는 영향은 모두 유의미하게 나타났으며, 개인정보의 중요성 미인식은 주관적 규범, 행위의도, 노출행동에 미치는 영향력은 유의미하였으나, 부정적 태도에 미치는 영향은 유의미하지 않았다. 그리고 부정적 태도와 주관적 규범이 행위의도에 미치는 영향은 유의미하여, 부정적 태도가 낮을수록 행위의도가 높게 나타났으며, 마지막으로 행위의도가 노출행동에 미치는 영향은 유의미하지 않는 것으로 나타났다. 이를 통해 자기노출 과정을 이론적 논의를 토대로 심리적, 사회적 변인들을 통합하여 살펴보았다는 점에서 의미가 있다고 할 수 있다.
