Authors:   The Institute of Management and Economy Research, Du Zhen , Kim Sung-Kyung , Lim Seong-Joon
Published: October 2022

Purpose - The purpose of this study is to understand the motivating factors of Chinese audience who watch the interactive drama, and suggest the effects of audience’ motivation on viewing flow, satisfaction, and loyalty. Design/methodology/approach - To achieve the purpose of the study, a questionnaire survey on the Internet was conducted from September 26, 2021 to October 14, 2021, and data from 332 Chinese respondents were collected. Findings - Findings of this study are 1) audience motivation of watching the interactive drama is composed of 6 factors including the pursuit of entertainment and information, curiosity, interaction, sense of control and indirect experience; 2) the pursuit of entertainment and information, interaction and indirect experience have positive effects on viewing flow; 3) all six factors of audience motivation have positive effects on audience satisfaction; 4) four motivating factors including the pursuit of entertainment, curiosity, interaction and indirect experience have positive effects on audience loyalty. 5) viewing flow and audience satisfaction respectively has some partial mediating effects on the relationship between audience motivation and audience loyalty. Research implications or Originality - Results of this study suggest that in order to increase audience loyalty to interactive dramas, in addition to fulfilling the pursuit of entertainment, which is the basic motive for watching any drama, it is important to fulfill motivating factors related to the unique characteristics of interactive dramas such as curiosity, interaction, and indirect experience. In order for these motivating factors to lead to audience loyalty, it is more effective when viewing flow and audience satisfaction are accompanied.

Authors:   The Institute of Management and Economy Research, Song Gi-Ryung , Kim Kyoung-Seok
Published: October 2022

Purpose - Studies have been continuously carried out by researchers so far to clarify the factors influencing employee's incivility at work. However, the behavior of employees who are the target of incivility not much has been revealed which behavior affects the experience of incivility. Among them, it is interesting that the effect of OCB, a representative of employees' positive behavior in the workplace, on their experienced incivility has not been investigated. Therefore, this study attempted to clarify the relationship between OCB and experienced incivility that previous studies have not yet discovered. Design/methodology/approach - In the process, the concept of profile similarity was introduced and based on this, it was assumed that the OCB profile similarity between individual and colleagues, not the absolute level of OCB, would affect the experienced incivility and demonstrated this. The analysis was conducted by applying the survey data obtained from 205 employees to hierarchical regression analysis. Findings - As a result of the analysis, it was examined that the absolute OCB value used in previous studies did not significantly affect the experienced incivility, but the higher the similarity level, the less experienced incivility. The implications obtained based on this and future research directions are discussed together in the conclusion. Research implications or Originality This study is the first one that considers OCB’s profile similarity as a antecedent of experienced incivility. OCB profile similarity concept was only treated as a theoretical issue even in very early stage of OCB research stream, but this study examines the significant effect of OCB profile similarity. Moreover, behavioral antecedents of experienced incivility has not been identified well, but this study finds out that OCB can be a behavioral antecedent of experienced incivility.
A Study of the Bullwhip Effect Across Korean Firms: Evidence from KOSPI-Listed Firms
Authors:   The Institute of Management and Economy Research, Soh Seung-Bum , Park Seung-Jae
Published: October 2022

Purpose - We study whether the bullwhip effect is prevalent among Korean firms and how the characteristics of it differ from the ones in other countries. Design/methodology/approach - We obtained quarterly financial and operational information on KOSPI-listed firms in manufacturing, wholesale, and retail industries from 2013 to 2019. We explore the variation of the bullwhip effect across firms and validate hypotheses . Findings - First, we find that for the KOSPI-listed firms, the bullwhip effect is more prevalent compared with the production smoothing. We provide additional findings by using sub-samples of manufacturing firms, wholesaling and retailing firms, big-sized firms, small- and medium-sized firms, domestic-sales intensive firms, and export intensive firms. Second, we show that in general, the bullwhip effect of Korean firms increases with the days in inventory or the demand seasonality ratio. However, the persistence of demand shock does not affect the bullwhip effect of Korean firms. Research implications or Originality - We compare our results with those in other studies that use information on the U.S. and Chinese firms. Our findings show that factors explaining the bullwhip effect across Korean firms have similarities and differences compared with firms in the U.S. and Chinese firms.

Authors:   The Institute of Management and Economy Research, Kim Woo-sung , Han Jun-hee
Published: October 2022

Purpose - The purpose of this study is to explore the possibility of predicting the degree of smartphone overdependence based on mobile phone usage patterns. Design/methodology/approach - In this study, a survey conducted by Korea Internet and Security Agency(KISA) called “problematic smartphone use survey” was analyzed. The survey consists of 180 questions, and data were collected from 29,712 participants. Based on the data on the smartphone usage pattern obtained through the questionnaire, the smartphone addiction level was predicted using machine learning techniques. k-NN, gradient boosting, XGBoost, CatBoost, AdaBoost and random forest algorithms were employed. Findings - First, while various factors together influence the smartphone overdependence level, the results show that all machine learning techniques perform well to predict the smartphone overdependence level. Especially, we focus on the features which can be obtained from the smartphone log data (without psychological factors). It means that our results can be a basis for diagnostic programs to detect problematic smartphone use. Second, the results show that information on users’ age, marriage and smartphone usage patterns can be used as predictors to determine whether users are addicted to smartphones. Other demographic characteristics such as sex or region did not appear to significantly affect smartphone overdependence levels. Research implications or Originality - While there are some studies that predict smartphone overdependence level using machine learning techniques, but the studies only present algorithm performance based on survey data. In this study, based on the information gain measure, questions that have more influence on the smartphone overdependence level are presented, and the performance of algorithms according to the questions is compared. Through the results of this study, it is shown that smartphone overdependence level can be predicted with less information if questions about smartphone use are given appropriately.
A Study of Consistency in Estimating the Number of Vacant Jobs Using the Labor Force Survey at Establishments
Authors:   The Institute of Management and Economy Research, Park Seung-Hwan
Published: October 2022

Purpose - The purpose of this study was to investigate consistency in estimating the number of vacant jobs using the two business labor force survey with two different time points of survey. Design/methodology/approach We studied the cause of the differences in estimating the number of vacant jobs between the monthly sample and the new sample in business labor force survey. Findings - To summarize our findings, As the size of the company increases, the number of vacant jobs in the company also increases, and the probability that the number of vacant jobs in the company is zero decreases. The monthly sample was assessed to have a higher likelihood that the number of vacant jobs in the company was zero and the number of vacant jobs was considerable compared to the local sample. Research implications or Originality Because local survey sample companies tend to minimize the number of vacant jobs even when they reply under the same conditions, the estimation result of the number of vacant jobs in the current monthly survey differs significantly from the estimation result of the local survey. Divergent “degrees of knowledge of question items,” survey methodologies, or investigators could be the causes of the various response trends.

Authors:   The Institute of Management and Economy Research, Wang Jinyan , Lee Seung-Bae
Published: October 2022

Purpose - The purpose of this study is to empirically analyze users' continuous use intentions using the characteristics of live commerce in China. Design/methodology/approach - Social presence, influence of information source (Wang Hong), convenience, marketability, reliability, personal innovativeness, and social influence were selected as elements that affect the perceived value of users, and an assumption that perceived value would affect continuous use intention was set. 515 samples were obtained from Chinese consumers through a Chinese online questionaire survey. IBM SPSS 26 and AMOS was used for statistical testing. Findings - First, social presence, Wang Hong, convenience, marketability, and reliability, which are the quality characteristics of live commerce services, affect the perceived value of users and user’s continuous use intention. Second, the perceived value of users plays a mediating role between the quality characteristics of live commerce service and the continuous use intention. Third, personal innovativeness plays a moderating role in the effect of live commerce service quality on the perceived value of e-commerce users. Fourth, among the relative effects of the service quality characteristic variables, the relative effect of reliability is the greatest followed by that of convenience, marketability, and Wang Hong, in order of precedence, and the effect of social presence is the smallest. Research implications or Originality - South Korean government's plan to support for advancing into live commerce in China were presented as strategic implications for exporting South Korean products to China through online services including live commerce.

Published: October 2022

Purpose - The purpose of this study is to examine the effect of the North Korea’s net export to China and Liaoning on the North Korean economic growth. Design/methodology/approach - This study collects the data on the net export of North Korea to China and Liaoing from General Administration of Customs, People's Republic of China. Vector Autoregression(VAR) is also employed for the analysis. Findings - First, North Korea’s net export to all of China and Liaoning gives the positive effect on North Korean economic growth. Second, the nuclear test of North Korea gives the negative effect on the North Korean economic growth. Third, the net export to China and Liaoning granger causes the North Korean economic growth. Lastly, the nuclear test of North Korea also granger causes the North Korean economic growth. Research implications or Originality - The estimation results show the net export of North Korea to China as well as Liaoning is important to the economic growth. Therefore, we need to examine North Korea’s trades with specific region as well as all of China in order to enhance the North Korean economic growth.
How Firms Transfer Financial Risks to Employees: Stock Price Volatility and CEO Power
Authors:   The Institute of Management and Economy Research, Sohn Joon-Woo , Lee Jae-Eun , Kang Yun-Sik , Lee Jae-Hyun
Published: October 2022

Purpose - We investigate how firms transfer financial risks to employees in a form of flexible employment contracts and layoffs. Design/methodology/approach - Based on the literature on the prevalence of shareholder value ideology and the associated ‘risk shift’, we examined how stock price volatility is associated with a firm’s use and hiring of nonstandard employees, and the number of employees lay-offed. We test our hypotheses using a longitudinal, multi-source, dataset of Korean firms from 2003 to 2011. Findings - We found support for the relationship between stock price volatility and flexible employment contracts and layoffs after controlling for actual risks such as increased debt or decreased sales. However, we found that the relationship is moderated by the power of professional CEOs relative to that of shareholders, in that powerful CEOs are more likely to transfer the external risks, i.e. stock price volatility, to employees. Research implications or Originality - This study contributes the emerging stream of literature that explore the effect of stock market pressures and governance structures on human resource management.
CSR Practices and Corporate Financial Performance: Evidence from China
Authors:   The Institute of Management and Economy Research, Meng Lamei , Byun Hae-Young
Published: October 2022

Purpose - The purpose of this paper is to explore the relationship between corporate social responsibility (CSR) and corporate present and future value. Design/methodology/approach - This paper intends to prove the relationship between CSR and corporate value once again by selecting A-share companies listed on the China Shenzhen Stock Exchange and Shanghai Stock Exchange from 2010 2017. This paper also examines the effect of five dimensions of CSR on corporate value in China. Findings - Empirical evidence shows that CSR is conducive to corporate value. The fulfillment of social responsibilities improves firm value in the future. Further, the regression results show that the social responsibility of the non-state-owned enterprise (Non-SOEs) group has a more significant effect on corporate financial performance than on the state-owned enterprise (SOEs) group. Research implications or Originality - This study has limitations. First, the grouping is only divided into two groups of SOEs and non-SOEs, and we did not consider foreign investments, that is, foreign-funded enterprises, for the comparative analysis. Second, only the linear relationship between CSR and corporate value was tested. In the future, we must determine whether there exists a nonlinear relationship between the two key concepts. Finally, there exists no research on CSR and corporate value by specific industries. Thus, the relationship between the five dimensions of CSR and corporate value should be investigated by specific industries.
The Effects of Cost Stickiness on Real Earnings Management: A Data Analysis of Export Marketers
Authors:   The Institute of Management and Economy Research, Oh Yu-Gyeom , Kim Moon-Hong
Published: October 2022

Purpose Export marketers may have incentives to attempt real earnings management to avoid low reported earnings. Therefore, we attempted to verify the relationship between cost stickiness and real earnings management in the context of export marketing. Design/methodology/approach Data were collected from exporters that settle-accounts in December excluding financial businesses listed on the stock market from 2015 to 2019. Multiple regression analysis were employed to analyze the data. Findings - The results showed that there is a negative relationship between cost stickiness and real earnings management. In addition, the results showed that export marketers little attempt to offset the cost inefficiency caused by the increase in expense because of cost stickiness with opportunistic management activities through real earnings management. Rather, as the level of real earnings management appears lower, exporters showing cost stickiness are expected to report management performance based on actual marketing. Furthermore, exporters with a high level of managerial centrality or high managerial overconfidence little attempt to offset cost inefficiency caused by cost stickiness with real earnings management activities. Research implications or Originality - Our study is the first to investigate the quality of earnings information of exporters with cost stickiness. Based on the results, we suggested efficient marketing strategies for exporters.
FIBERS RESPIRABLE IN THE AIR
Authors: SOBCZYK Wiktoria , CIEPIELA Maciej
Published: October 2022

Abstract. The paper presents the characteristics of respirable fibers. Respirable fibers are defined as fibers less than 3 μm in diameter, more than 5 μm in length, and a length to thickness ratio of the fiber greater than 3:1. Such dimensions of the fibers allow them to hang in the air and have the ability to travel long distances. Examples of respirable fibers are residues of asbestos products or artificial mineral fibers. The respirable size of the fibers is considered to be a physical carcinogen. The cause of diseases is long-term effects on the respiratory system. Asbestos is assigned a first hazard category. Its permissible concentration limit in the preparation is 0.1% by mass. Exceeding this value requires including this dangerous substance in the classification of any mixture. The need for research on the concentration of respirable asbestos fibers in the atmospheric air is emphasized.
МЕТОДОЛОГІЧНІ ПІДХОДИ ДО ЗОНУВАННЯ АГРОСФЕРИ ЗОНИ ВПЛИВУ УРБОСИСТЕМИ

Published: October 2022

Анотація. У статті запропоновані методологічні підходи до зонування агросфери зони впливу урбосистеми (АЗВУ). Розроблені принципи, обґрунтовані критерії, методологічні підходи та запропоновано авторську методику зонування агросфери зони впливу урбосистеми, яка враховує соціо-економічні та екологічні зміни агросфери та дозволяє визначити межі трьох зон: резистентної, дисипативної та буферної. Зонування АЗВУ ґрунтується на виділенні поясів урборуральних зон з урахуванням екологічних впливів урбосистеми на агросферу та розвитку транспортних магістралей, які є лінійними джерелами забруднення агросфери. Резистентна зона концентрично розміщена навколо урбосистеми, радіусом, що дорівнює радіусу першого поясу урборуральної зони. Агросфера цієї зони значно перетворена та набула ознак урбосистеми. Для неї характерні високий соціо-економічний розвиток та значне антропогенне навантаження, що призводить до виникнення кризових явищ в екологічній підсистемі агросфери. Дисипативна зона формується радіусом, що дорівнює радіусу другого урборурального (приміського) поясу, з урахуванням зони ймовірного забруднення навколишнього середовища та прямих деструктивних впливів урбосистеми (забір природних ресурсів, складування відходів). Агросфера цієї зони має покращений соціо-економічний розвиток, значне перетворення ландшафтів, значне антропогенне навантаження та екологічні кризи. Буферна зона має прямокутну форму, для її виділення основним критерієм є наявність транспортних магістралей та формування лінійного «викиду» забруднюючих речовин. Агросфера цієї зони має вище середнього соціо-економічний розвиток та змінений екологічний стан через забруднення навколишнього середовища викидами автотранспорту. Визначено, що урбосистема Рівного формує резистентну зону радіусом 10 км, дисипативна зона максимальну протяжність буде мати у східному, північно-західному та південно-східному напрямках. У північному, північно- східному, південному та південно-західному вона буде співпадати з радіусом другого поясу урборуральної зони.

Published: October 2022

BACKGROUND. At present radiological criteria for diagnosis of viral pneumonia associated with SARS-CoV-2 have been defined. However, with the further course of the pandemic, physicians began to observe more and more often destructive processes developing in the lungs of patients with non-hospital pneumonia of viral etiology (COVID-19). Due to the development of surgical complications (pneumothorax, pneumomediastinum, vanishing lung syndrome) the question of their differential diagnostics with purulent-destructive lung diseases became actual.

OBJECTIVE. To show the possibilities of differential diagnostics of infectious lung destruction (ILD) with cyst-like changes in the lungs at COVID-19 using clinical examples and data of computed tomography (CT) scan of the chest and pathomorphological study.

MATERIALS AND METHODS. CT of the patients with ILD (lung abscess) and 90 patients with non-hospital pneumonia of viral etiology (COVID-19), who were treated in the National Institute of Phthisiology and Pulmonology named after F.G. Yanovsky of the NAMS of Ukraine were analyzed.

RESULTS AND DISCUSSION. There were analyzed 90 CT scans of the whole body of patients with non-hospital pneumonia of viral etiology (COVID-19); among them 27 cases (15 male and 12 female, aged from 23 to 78 years) with radiological signs of vanishing lung syndrome were revealed, which made 30 % of all patients with a complicated course of the disease. Chest CT findings and pathomorphologic findings in cyst-like changes in patients with COVID-19 were compared with those in patients treated for lung abscess.

CONCLUSIONS. Clinical picture, pathogenesis and pathomorphological changes of pulmonary parenchyma at ILD differ greatly from non-hospital pneumonia of viral etiology (COVID-19) and form specific changes, which are revealed by chest CT. Necessary development of indications for surgical treatment in vanishing lung syndrome which occurs in patients with complicated course of COVID-19.

Authors: Rekalova O.M. , Panasyukova O.R. , Matvienko Yu.О. , Zhadan V.М. , Yasyr S.G.
Published: October 2022

BACKGROUND. The spread of tuberculosis in Ukraine forces doctors to use intensive chemotherapy, which leads to adverse reactions and promotes to the spread of drug-resistant tuberculosis. Toxic-allergic reactions take a protracted course and are difficult to respond to corrective therapy, which requires additional research.

OBJECTIVE. To determine changes in immunological reactivity in patients with pulmonary tuberculosis with allergic and toxic-allergic reactions by cellular immunity research.

MATERIALS AND METHODS. The results of clinical, laboratory and immunological examination of patients were analyzed depending on the presence/absence of clinical signs of allergic reactions to antituberculosis drugs using the method of flow cytofluorimetry and assessment of phagocytic link of immunity.

RESULTS AND DISCUSSION. There were detected the activation of all studied subpopulations of T- and B-lymphocytes and an increase in the absolute and percentage number of natural killers in the blood of patients without adverse reactions. It is a positive factor for the destruction of mycobacteria. The development of allergic reactions support the inhibition of the activity of the general pool of T-lymphocytes, their subpopulations, B-lymphocytes, natural killers, the absorption activity of phagocytes. It is an unfavorable factor that can lead to the formation of anergy of immunocytes. Increased activity of the inflammatory process and deepening of the immunological imbalance were detected in patients with clinical and laboratory signs of toxic-allergic reactions. It is not accompanied by an inhibitory effect on blood lymphocytes and phagocytes, is revealed. It indicates a special pathogenesis of toxic-allergic reactions with involvement of disturbed liver functions.

CONCLUSSION. Identified differences in the immune status will allow to adjust the treatment.
Simultaneous assessment of red blood cell aggregation and oxygen saturation under pulsatile flow using high-frequency photoacoustics
Authors: Bok Tae-Hoon , Hysi Eno , Kolios Michael
Published: October 2022

We investigate the feasibility of photoacoustic (PA) imaging for assessing the correlation between red blood cell (RBC) aggregation and the oxygen saturation (sO2) in a simulated pulsatile blood flow system. For the 750 and 850 nm illuminations, the PA amplitude (PAA) increased and decreased as the mean blood flow velocity decreased and increased, respectively, at all beat rates (60, 120 and 180 bpm). The sO2 also cyclically varied, in phase with the PAA for all beat rates. However, the linear correlation between the sO2 and the PAA at 850 nm was stronger than that at 750 nm. These results suggest that the sO2 can be correlated with RBC aggregation induced by decreased mean shear rate in pulsatile flow, and that the correlation is dependent on the optical wavelength. The hemodynamic properties of blood flow assessed by PA imaging may be used to provide a new biomarker for simultaneous monitoring blood viscosity related to RBC aggregation, oxygen delivery related to the sO2 and their clinical correlation.

Trends in food security in the post-pandemic period
Authors: Karp I. , Virkovska А.
Published: October 2022

Food security of countries is the basis for ensuring a high level of life quality and guarantees the maintenance of sustainable socio-economic development. Given that the main criteria for ensuring food security of the country is the quality of life of the population, important conditions for achieving this are the availability and high quality of food. The study of global trends in food security allows a comprehensive analysis of the trajectory of its development, in practice to use the potential of global trends to strengthen the food supply to the population in the global dimension. Food security is designed to meet the vital social needs of the population and the ability to realize the individual potential of each person. Nowadays, in the post-pandemic world, new challenges and risks are emerging that do not allow us to fully ensure food security, it is an objective necessity for the development of humanity in the context of global civilization. Its provision is a guarantee of regular access of the population to high-quality food necessary for leading an active and healthy lifestyle. Moreover, the low purchasing power of the population forces them to meet their needs through cheaper and low-quality food. The actual level of food consumption in post-pandemic realities does not meet rational standards, so there is an imbalance in the diet and rising prices. To solve such food problems, it is important to draw the attention of countries and the world community to overcoming poverty, to ensure the transition to an economy of sustainable development. Food shortages are so destructive to society that they are considered the main driver of disintegration of society and countries. Increasing efforts today are needed to improve global supply chains, reduce food losses and food waste, and ensure access to food for all, especially those suffering from hunger, malnutrition and poverty.

Accounting and analytical representation of costs for socially responsible activities: problems and development prospects
Authors: Klym Nadiia , Plekan Mariia , Tesak Alexandra
Published: October 2022

The paper proves that in developing a cost management system for socially responsible activities it is necessary to give a key role to the quality of information received, the speed of its formation and transmission, as it is the basis for decision-making. Information in the management system is cyclical and its main source is accounting and information support in the form of accounting documents. It is proved that the implementation of socially responsible activities depends on the costs incurred, which focuses on their sources, so management decisions will be based on the indicators of the social budgeting system. In this regard, the main task of social controlling is to determine the direction of socially responsible activities that will positively affect the strategic development of the enterprise, and the choice of strategy will be based on the principle of "different opportunities for certain needs for a certain amount of resources." The use of a controlling system will facilitate a more efficient allocation of resources, taking into account the specifics of such activities, as well as allow decisions to be made by units that are directly related to these activities. The effectiveness of the process of integrating social responsibility into the system of strategic management increases significantly with the construction of a balanced scorecard, which allows to interpret the chosen strategy into specific recommendations by building a logical chain: "goals - indicators - tasks - initiatives". maps (construction of a tree of strategic goals of social responsibility of the enterprise), accounting maps (definition of key indicators of social responsibility of the enterprise), maps of tasks and actions (substantiation of the process of implementation of actions: "tasks - strategic initiatives").
Use of NLP in psychocorrectional work
Authors: Vyshnyovsky Vasyl , Mukan Mariana
Published: October 2022

This article is devoted to the use of the method of neurolinguistic programming in psychocorrectional work. It describes the theoretical foundations of technology, its main purpose, efficiency conditions and inviolable postulates of neurolinguistic programming. The relevance of the study of this topic is due to the fact that neurolinguistic programming is now one of the most popular areas of applied psychology. Unlike many other practice-oriented psychological disciplines, neurolinguistic programming provides rapid change and solutions to societal and human problems, all in an efficient and environmentally manner. At the same time, neurolinguistic programming is one of the most complex systems of psychotechnology, the assimilation of which requires considerable effort. In contrast to the "classical" psychological disciplines, the method of neurolinguistic programming requires the researcher to seriously reorient the nature of his mental activity and abandon many stereotypes. The colossal methodological arsenal of neurolinguistic programming, which includes several hundred techniques of psychotherapeutic interventions, places the most serious demands on the memory of a person who wants to study neurolinguistic programming. Currently, the method of neurolinguistic programming is considered one of the most effective psychotechnologies of personal change. However, during our study, we found some negative aspects. First of all, this method is not suitable for all people, and the effect of using this method, although fast, but its duration depends on the characteristics of the customer and his environment, on the professionalism of the psychotherapist. Also in our work we emphasize that the method of neurolinguistic programming in their practice can be used only by a qualified and licensed specialist who will carry out a thorough study of the customer characteristics and will carry out constant monitoring of human well-being.
