국가경쟁력 제고와 제조업 경쟁력 확보를 위한 스마트팩토리 보급 및 확산사업이 국가주도로 진행되고 있으나, 대부분의 구축기업이 기초 단계에 머무르고 있으며, 그 마저도 지속적으로 활용하지 못하고 있다. 스마트팩토리 관련 선행연구의 대다수는 도입사례 혹은 빅데이터 적용방안 등 기술적인 부분에 초점을 맞추고 있어, 스마트팩토리의 지속적 활용에 대한 실증 연구는 부족한 실정이다. 이에, 본 연구에서는 정보시스템 성공모형과 선행연구를 바탕으로 스마트팩토리 사용정도 및 사용자만족에 영향을 주는 주요 선행요인을 도출하고, 이 요인들이 사용정도 및 사용자만족을 거쳐 지속사용의도, 경영성과 및 고도화수용의도에 미치는 영향을 실증하였다. 스마트팩토리를 기 도입한 287개 중소제조 기업을 대상으로 수집한 설문지를 바탕으로 구조방정식모형을 활용하여 분석한 결과, 주요 선행요인인 시스템품질과 정보품질, 서비스품질, 정부지원은 사용정도에 유의한 영향을, 서비스품질과 정부지원은 사용자만족에 유의한 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 또한, 사용정도와 사용자만족은 경영성과 및 지속사용의도에 유의한 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났으며, 나아가 고도화수용의도에도 유의한 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구는 정보시스템 성공모형을 활용하여 중소제조기업의 스마트팩토리 사용자만족이 경영성과 및 지속사용의도, 나아가 고도화수용의도에 미치는 구체적인 영향 메커니즘을 최초로 실증한 연구라는 점에서 의의가 있다.

Projects to deploy and diffuse smart factories in South Korea are aimed at enhancing national manufacturing competitiveness. However, a significant portion of deployed companies remain at the basic stage and struggle to utilize smart factories regularly. Existing studies have primarily focused on the technical aspects of smart factories, using data analytics and case studies, leading to a gap in empirical research on continuous use and upgrade intentions. This study identifies key factors influencing smart factory usage and user satisfaction, drawing on the Information Systems Success Model (ISSM) and previous research. It empirically examines the impact of these factors on continuous use intention, management performance, and advancement acceptance intention through smart factory usage and user satisfaction. A structural equation model is employed to validate the research hypotheses, using survey data from 287 small and medium-sized manufacturing enterprises (SMEs) that have adopted smart factories. Results demonstrate that system quality, information quality, service quality, and government support significantly affect smart factory usage, while service quality and government support influence user satisfaction. Furthermore, smart factory usage and user satisfaction have positive effects on management performance, continuous use intention, and subsequently advancement acceptance intention. This study provides novel insights by demonstrating the specific impact mechanisms of smart factory user satisfaction on the business and the intentions of manufacturing SMEs regarding continuous use and advancement acceptance, leveraging the ISSM.

Purpose: This study investigated the knowledge, performance, and barrier awareness of Intensive Care Unit (ICU) medical staff concerning the prevention and management of Pain, Agitation/Sedation, Delirium, Immobility, and Sleep Disruption (PADIS) in critically ill adult patients, and aimed to identify the factors influencing the performance of evidence-based PADIS management. Methods: This cross-sectional and correlational study included 189 medical staff (17 physicians, 172 nurses) working in ICUs in two hospitals and recruited between July 13 and 31, 2022. Multiple linear regression analysis was performed to identify the factors associated with the PADIS-related performance of medical staff. Results: The evidence-based performance level for PADIS prevention and management had a mean score of 3.55±0.37 out of 5 points, and the mean knowledge score was 28.23±3.00 out of 33 points. The mean awareness score for barriers to implementing PADIS prevention and management guidelines was 2.91±0.39 out of 5 points. Multiple regression analysis indicated that knowledge of delirium (β=.19, p=.014) and awareness of barriers within the individual domains of medical staff (β=-.20, p=.034) significantly influenced PADIS-related performance. Conclusion: To implement evidence-based practices for the prevention and management of PADIS, steps should be taken to improve the knowledge and awareness of medical staff regarding PADIS. This could be improved through organizational support, such as systematic education and staffing. Specifically, an education program centered on delirium could significantly improve PADIS-related knowledge and performance.

In a journey exploring the influence of two external zeitgebers and their interaction on the biophysiological and productive performance of goat kids exposed to heat stress, 15 healthy Aardi male kids (6 months of age and 22.56 ± 1.13 kg) individually housed in climatic chambers were allocated into three groups (5 kids/group). Kids in the first group (the control group, C) were placed under a normal light : dark (12L : 12D) cycle and fed in the morning. Kids in the second group (T1) were fed in the morning but placed under a reversed 12D : 12L cycle. Kids in the third group (T2) were placed under a reversed 12D : 12L cycle and fed in the evening. During the experimental period (~5 weeks), kids were exposed to a hot condition (as manifest by the temperature-humidity index) using a biometeorologically simulated environment with a daily ambient temperature cycle of 25℃ to 45℃, and multiple data (i.e., meteorology, biophysiology, and performance) were obtained. Reversing the lighting cycle alone (T1) and/ or the simultaneous shifting of both the lighting cycle and feeding time protocol (T2) under hot climatic conditions had no influence on body rectal and skin temperatures as well as plasma concentrations of albumin and glucose. Kids in both treatments showed (p < 0.05) higher coat temperature and respiratory rate as well as plasma concentrations of triacylglycerol compared to the C group kids. Moreover, it was clearly evident that kids in T2 had (p < 0.05) reduced kids daily feed intake (DFI), increased (p < 0.05) their average daily body gain (ADG), which subsequently had been reflected on having (p < 0.05) better feed conversion (FCR) compared to kids in other groups. Collectively, this would suggest that using such chrono-physiological management protocol had desynchronized the heat load emerging from the combined effects of both thermal stress and post-prandial metabolism. Compared to other protocols, our findings point out that simultaneous shifting of both lighting cycle and feeding time protocol might be suitable in enhancing the production performance of growing heat-stressed goats.

본 연구는 신흥시장 진출 한국 자회사의 협력적 노사관계 및 노무관리 현지화가 경영성과에 미치는 구조적 관계를 종합적으로 고찰 하는데 있다. 이를 위해 국제노무관리 현지화를 협력적 노사관계와 노무관리 정책 현지화로 정의하고 경영성과에 미치는 효과를 검증 하였다. 연구대상인 중국과 베트남에 진출한 한국 기업 중 노동조합이 설립된 82개 자회사로부터 유효한 자료를 수집하였으며, 구조방 정식모형을 통해 경로분석 및 매개효과를 실증하였다. 본 연구의 분석결과를 요약하면 다음과 같다. 첫째, 해외자회사의 협력적 노사관계는 직무만족도 및 이직률 감소, 품질향상 등 해외 자회사 노무 관련 성과향상에 긍정적인 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 둘째, 협력적 노사관계는 노무 관련 성과를 매개하여 해외자 회사 경영성과에 긍정적 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 셋째, 노무 관련 현지화가 해외자회사 노무관련 성과 향상에 미치는 긍정적 효과는 부분적으로 지지되었으나, 노무관련 성과를 경유하여 경영성과에 미치는 매개효과는 통계적으로 유의하지 않게 나타났다. 결 론적으로 본 연구는 해외자회사의 노무관리 현지화에 있어 그간 상대적으로 소홀히 다루어졌던 협력적 노사관계 형성의 중요성을 실 증적으로 규명한 점에 연구의 의의가 있다고 할 수 있다. 과거 선행연구에서 국제노무관리 또는 인사관리 정책의 현지화가 해외자회사 경영성과에 미치는 효과를 규명하는데 집중하였다면, 본 연구는 이러한 인사관리 정책수립 뿐 아니라, 현지 자회사 노동조합과의 유기 적 협력관계 및 의사소통을 통한 조직몰입도를 향상시키는 것이 중요하다는 시사점을 제시하였다. 이러한 실증분석 결과는 중국과 베 트남 등 신흥국 진출 한국 자회사의 노무관리 효율화에 의미있는 방향을 제시할 수 있으리라 기대한다.

The purpose of this study is to comprehensively examine the structural relationship between cooperative labor relations and localization of labor management of Korean subsidiaries entering emerging markets on business performance. Localization of international labor management was defined as cooperative labor-management relations and localization of labor management policies, and the effect on management performance was verified. The subject of this study is a company with a labor union established among Korean companies that have entered China and Vietnam, and data were collected from 82 subsidiaries. The empirical analysis proved the path analysis and mediating effect through the structural equation model. The summary of the analysis results of this study is as follows. First, the cooperative labor-management relations of overseas subsidiaries were found to have a positive effect on the improvement of labor-related performances of overseas subsidiaries, such as reduction of job satisfaction and turnover rate, and improvement of quality. Second, cooperative labor-management relations were found to have a positive effect on the management performance of overseas subsidiaries by mediating labor-related performance. Third, the positive effect of labor-related localization on improving labor-related performance of overseas subsidiaries was partially supported, but the mediating effect on management performance through labor-related performance was not statistically significant. In conclusion, this study is meaningful in that it empirically identified the importance of forming cooperative labor-management relations that have been relatively neglected in the localization of labor management of overseas subsidiaries. Previous studies have focused on finding out the effect of localization of international labor management or personnel management policies on the management performance of overseas subsidiaries. On the other hand, this study presented implications that it is important not only to establish personnel management policies, but also to improve organizational commitment through organic cooperation and communication with local subsidiary labor unions. The results of this empirical analysis are expected to provide a meaningful direction for efficient labor management of Korean subsidiaries in emerging countries such as China and Vietnam.

이 논문은 지역농협의 경영성과 변화가 2015년에 실시된 전국조합장선거 결과에 유의한 영향을 미쳤는지에 대해 알아보려 한다. 2015년 최초로 실시된 전국 조합장 선거 이전의 경영성과 데이터 (2012년에서 2015년까지)와 선거결과를 기반으로 2SLS Probit 회귀분석한 결과에 따르면 2015년 재임 중인 조합장 교체에 미치는 유의한 변수들은 후보자 나이, 전년도의 순이익감소 그리고 유사규모의 자산을 가진 그룹의 평균 ROA등 이었다. 국내농협의 조합원들이 조합장의 나이가 60세 이상인지, 순이익 규모가 전년대비 감소하였는지를 비교하면서, 유사한 자산규모를 가진 그룹의 평균 ROA가 높을수 록 교체 가능성을 높이는 것으로 보인다.

This paper aims to determine whether the changes in management performance of domestic agricultural cooperatives had an effect on the election results of Korean Agricultural Cooperatives in 2015. Financial performance data (2012-2015) prior to the Nation-wide Cooperatives elections in 2015 were reviewed to determine the impact of the election outcome on the election results. 2SLS Probit regression analysis shows that the significant parameters for incumbent president turnover in the 2015 election were the candidates’ age, net profit decrease in 2014, and ROA comparison to similar asset-size group. These results support the conclusion that the union members of KAC consider whether the age of president is over 60, whether the net profits of the cooperatives are worse than the previous year, and compare the results of similar groups’ managerial performance (ROA).

As a growing interest in performance management in the public sector, Performance Management Systems (PMS) have also been used successfully in the public sector. Although the performance management can be generally productive and help improve performance, if executed poorly, not only can it be very costly, but it can be ineffective or even destructive. Although there is some research depicting the success factors for the mplementation of PMS, they do not cover the impact of the particular determinant of PMS implementation on the roles of PMS. The purpose of this study is to identify the determinants influencing the implementation of PMS and to examine the impact of PMS on those implementation factors in the Korean public sector. This study provides insights for organizations about determinants and impediments they can expect to encounter in their PMS implementation; the research draws upon three types of use in terms of PMS roles: strategic management tools, performance measurement tools, and communication tools. Using the survey from 66 Korean public institutions, the results of the analyses provide that the particular PMS implementation determinants are significant with the roles of PMS in Korean public institutions.

Intrapreneurship has recently attracted considerable attention. This study aims to explore how intrapreneurship and trust in a supervisor (also referred throughout as “supervisor trust”) promote management performance so as to expand research on intrapreneurship. The study’s sample set is taken from 288 employees of 38 different companies to statistically verify the hypotheses. Through the SPSS 24 statistical method, the study’s main results were uncovered as follows. First, entrepreneurial education has a positive effect on intrapreneurship. Second, intrapreneurship has a positive effect on management performance. Third, trust in a supervisor has a positive impact on management performance, and the moderating effects of trust in a supervisor are found between intrapreneurship and management performance. The following implications are recognized. Firstly, although research on intrapreneurship has been carried out for more than 30 years, it is still in the stage of systematic theory, and there is room for further research, especially when the cultural background is different, the results may come out differently. Secondly, if the degree of intrapreneurship increases, the management performance will be high. Trust in the supervisor is consistent with this viewpoint, because if subordinates trust in their supervisors, there will be positive business performance and management performance. Therefore, intrapreneurship and trust are very important in the process of achieving performance and play an important role in the actual business. Thirdly, trust in the supervisor plays a moderating role between intrapreneurship and performance, which means that a structural mechanism exists between them. The study’s results indicate that it is necessary to emphasize entrepreneurship at the appropriate level in SMEs, and that it is important to ensure that intrapreneurs receive education and develop trust in their supervisors. In addition, it is obvious that entrepreneurial education leads employees to focus on management performance through intrapreneurship and that a high degree of supervisor trust will have a positive effect on performance. These findings can help companies strengthen their competitiveness and achieve their business targets.

한국의 방위산업은 규모의 경제를 확보하는데 어려움을 겪고 있다. 이것은 방산물자의 특성상 구매자가 정부로 한정되어 있어서 국내 소요만으로는 국내 방위산업을 유지하는 것이 어렵기 때문이다. 따라서 적극적인 수출 홍보활동을 통해서 방산업체는 매출규모를 확대해야 한다. 수출 홍보활동은 방산전시회 참가, 장비시연, 방산시장 정보 수집 및 분석 등을 의미한다. 연구결과 방산업체의 광고선전비는 매출액과 수출액에 정(+)의 효과가 있음을 확인할 수 있었다. 결과적으로 방산업체는 적극적인 수출 홍보활동을 통해서 경영성과(매출액, 수출액)를 향상시킬 수 있다

The South Korean defense industry is facing difficulties in ensuring its economy of scale. This is mainly because of the low demand compared to the supply. Such imbalance is on account of the unique nature of defense products, whose sole consumers are governments. Therefore, defense companies should expand their defense product sales through active PR (public relations) activities, including exhibitions, weapon systems demonstrations, and gathering information on the global defense industry. The results of this study show a positive correlation between the advertising cost and the management performance (sales and exports) of defense companies. In conclusion, defense companies can improve their management performance through active PR activities for the export of defense products.

Although firms are adopting strategic performance management systems (PMS) that provide information that allows the firms to identify the strategies offering the highest potential for achieving the firms' objectives, many firms still suffer from making the implementation of PMS a success. The purpose of this paper is to identify those factors that influence the successful implementation of performance management systems. This paper performs a comprehensive literature scrutiny on the implementation factors of PMS including the Balanced Scorecard, Performance Prism, Intellectual Capital Navigation, and Activity-based Costing, as well as traditional performance management systems. The findings of this research will provide useful insights into the anatomy of the success factors for implementing performance management systems and will help management to all the different sized organizations in the different sectors and industries. This paper also provides some future directions for research.

This study analyzes the effects of the absorptive capacity on the technology innovation and commercialization capacities and the management performance. Based on previous studies, the absorptive capacity is sub-classified into the exploratory absorptive capacity and the exploitative absorptive capacity, which are set as independent variables, to analyze their effects on the technology innovation and commercialization capacities. In short, the absorptive capacity has positive effects on the technology innovation and commercialization capacities. In addition, the technology innovation capacity and the technology commercialization capacity have positive effects on the management performance. The findings confirm that the absorptive capacity is an important factor impacting on the corporate innovation, and suggest that businesses should recognize the importance of the absorptive capacity as a guideline for developing their strategies for technological innovation.

그동안은 규모가 큰 기업 위주의 분석과 과거 경영실적과 특허권의 관계위주의 분석을 했으나, 본 연구에서는 실증분석을 통해 중소기업을 대상으로 특허를 보유한 기업의 미래 매출액 변동성에 대해 살펴보았다. 본 연구에서는 지식재산권인 특허권의 양적가치와 질적가치가 기업경영성과에 미치는 영향을 분석하였다. 특허의 양적가치로는 특허 의 수를, 질적가치는 특허평균점수를 기업경영성과로는 평균매출액증가율을 사용하였다. SPSS를 이용한 판별분석을 통해 2가지 독립변수 모두 평균매출액 증가율이 2배 이상인 기업과 2배 미만인 기업을 구분하는데 유의적인 변수임을 확인하였다. 따라서 특허권 보유 중소기업에 대해 보증심사나 여신심사시 본 연구결과를 이용하여 향후 매출액이 어떻 게 변경될지에 대한 분석의 틀을 이해관계자에게 제공한다는데 의의가 있다.

In previous research, large companies were analyzed to focus on their past management performance and patent rights, but in this study we looked at the variability in future sales of small and medium-sized enterprises with patents through empirical analysis. We looked at how the quantitative and qualitative value of patent rights affect management performance of company. We used ‘the number of patents’ as the quantitative value of patents, ‘the average score of patents’ as the qualitative value of patents, and the average sales growth rate as the management performance of company. Through a discriminant analysis using the statistical program SPSS, both independent variables used in this study were significant for distinguishing between companies with an average growth in sales more than twice that of general small and medium-sized enterprises and those with less than twice the average sales growth rate. Therefore it is meaningful to provide stakeholders with an analysis framework on how sales will change in the future using the results of this study during guarantee or loan screening for small and medium-sized enterprises with patent rights.
