The purpose of the existing work is to inspect the impact of knowledge management on organizational performance. Business experts now appreciate how important knowledge management is for organizational performance. Earlier studies have investigated the research model with causal linkages, however, only a few of them have considered sample-selecting bias problems when analyzing the model of knowledge management on organizational performance. The number of 312 executives related to knowledge management from 312 enterprises that have been approved with quality management systems offered suitable responses for analyses. The data was employed to investigate the effect of knowledge management on organizational performance, considering sample-selecting bias. The empirical outcomes indicate that sample-selecting bias exists in the causal impact of knowledge management on organizational performance. The empirical findings are helpful to scholars of knowledge management as well as business executives by giving an insight into the casual effect of knowledge management on organizational performance with the intervention of sample-selecting bias. The acceptance of knowledge management should be tailored to improve competitive advantages that will lead to better organizational performance.

This study analyzes factors that affect the corporate value of Korean companies operating in Latin American countries. Primary factors are associated with characteristics of the host country, the parent company, and subsidiaries. Empirical results show that asset specificity is the main factor influencing firm value. This region is geographically far from Korea and culturally different. Therefore, the source of competitive advantage such as asset specificity should be large enough to offset liability of foreignness for successful entry into the region. This paper also found that joint ventures are more advantageous than direct investments. Joint ventures in Latin American can minimize risk, complement technology and information, and reduce trade barriers.

In the early 2020, COVID-19 changed the traditional way of teaching and learning. This paper aimed to explore the impact of college students' perception of course quality on their online learning satisfaction. A total of 4,812 valid samples were extracted, and the difference analysis and hierarchical regression analysis were used to make an empirical analysis of college students' online learning satisfaction. The research results were as follows. Firstly, there was no difference in online learning satisfaction among students by gender and grade. Secondly, learning assessment, course materials, course activities and learner interaction, and course production had a significant positive impact on online learning satisfaction. Course overview and course objectives had an insignificant correlation with online learning satisfaction. Thirdly, the total effect of online learning satisfaction was as follows. Course production had the greatest effect, followed by course activities and student-student interactions, followed by course materials. It was the learning evaluation that showed the least effect. This study can provide empirical reference for college teachers on how to continuously improve online teaching and increase students' satisfaction with online learning.

Empirical applications to explain criminogenic events are abundant. While much of the research in criminal studies concentrates on understanding the motivations of offenders and preventing victimization from a micro perspective, there have been recent theoretical advancements that give priority to the role of spatial factors in directly impacting crime rates. The primary purpose of this study is to investigate the empirical inference between violent crime incidence and spatial characteristics of local areas focusing particularly on spatial accessibility conditions in the areas. Applying discrete spatial econometrics models, this study reveals a significant relationship between spatial accessibility and the formation of violent crime hot spots in South Korea. Along with other variables, it is revealed that road accessibility has a clear association with violent crime hot spots. Based on the findings, this study suggests some policy implications such as effective surveillance systems, land use restrictions, and advanced street lighting.

This study intends to focus on feasible measures to take advantage of pilgrimage to inspire adherents of The Fellowship of Daesoonjinri with the ideology of Daesoon and to overhaul existing missionary work. This study addresses preceding researches with regard to pilgrimage as theoretical grounds to review what pilgrimage has been meant to be. Also, this study conducts the survey on the motif and preference of pilgrimage that are expected to affect pilgrim behaviors, and it includes the satisfaction with the pilgrimage as a parametric effect. The survey and analysis results say that the motif and preference of the pilgrimage are the leading variables that significantly correlate to the pilgrimage satisfaction. In addition, the pilgrimage satisfaction is not only a key factor that affects pilgrim behaviors but a parametric effect that strongly relates to the motif and preference of the pilgrimage. Conducted based on empirical analysis, this study offers a diversity of approaches to tourism program development with respect to pilgrimage: customized pilgrimage programs, unique storytelling about the holy places, content development with a range of topics and difficult levels, and evaluation and feedback systems for pilgrimage programs

Spatial distribution, seasonal and interannual variability of chlorophyll a concentration in Okhotsk Sea from SeaWiFS data between 2001 and 2004 were describe. An Empirical Orthogonal Function method was applied for analysis data. The ten modes described about 85% of total variance. Two maxima were defined - more intensive in spring and weaker in autumn. The first mode showed zones with chlorophyll a concentration during maximum bloom. The second mode specified timing of spring bloom in various regions in Okhotsk Sea. Analysis of SeaWiFS data indicated connection between highest chlorophyll a concentration and sea surface temperature limits during spring bloom. Similar relation was not found during fall bloom.

Fifteen years have passed since the enactment of the Industrial Technology Innovation Promotion Act, which promoted industry cooperation activities for universities. Therefore, the study analyzes the relationship between the university's industrial cooperation activities and the college graduates' starting salaries and provides policy suggestions on improving the direction of university-industry cooperation. The study used nine-year panel data from Graduates Occupational Mobility Survey (GOMS) to conduct an empirical analysis and found that starting salaries of college graduates were not significantly higher if the university only participated in basic industry cooperation activities. On the other hand, when the quality of university-industry cooperation activities was higher, such as job search support, the starting salary of college graduates was higher. The findings suggest that university-industry cooperation activities must focus on qualitative performances rather than quantitative approaches.

Purpose: his study aims to explore how healthcare provider service characteristics in telemedicine services, which have become more common since the pandemic, affect rapport formation and service satisfaction with healthcare providers. Research design, data and methodology: A group of actual telemedicine users underwent data collection and empirical analysis. After analyzing reliability and validity, hypotheses were tested using a structural equation model. Results: Key perceived attributes of healthcare providers in telemedicine services were identified as doctor effort, doctor listening, and doctor expertise. Each of these variables had a significant positive impact on trust in telemedicine. Moreover, these attributes significantly positively impacted rapport formation and user service satisfaction, which was mediated by trust. However, the direct impact of rapport formation on service satisfaction was not supported. Conclusions: The study's findings have academic and practical implications for expanding telemedicine services. As an initial empirical study on telemedicine services, it confirms the importance of trust and rapport formation even in non-face-to-face medical situations. In order to overcome the limitations of non-physical contact, telemedicine services should strive to develop UI/UX designs that are more interoperable and boost trust in service apps.
