Factors influencing Recycling Behavior : Case study of Univ. of Michigan Family Housing

Park, SoonAe 연세대학교 사회과학연구소 1998 연세사회과학연구 Vol.4 No.1

The University of Michigan is responsible for educating the residents of Northwood Family Housing about recycling, and makes arrangements for collection of the recyclable materials. However, recycling efforts in Northwood Family Housing have been less than successful. In this study, a survey questionnaire is developed to investigate Family Housing residents' attitudes toward waste management and recycling behavior. The variables include household recycling, social commitment, attitude, motivations, convenience, and intrinsic satisfaction. Based on survey of 149 cases, descriptive analysis, bivariate analysis, multivariate analysis and LISREL analysis are performed. 65% of respondents indicate the lack of knowledge how to recycle. 60% of respondents agree that more information about the value of recycling is needed. This study suggests Family Housing should establish an intensive and continuous education program to help resident's to understand the value of recycling, to attain proper knowledge and finally to change daily activities toward a more environmentally friendly behavior.

In this study, we evaluated the association between autism spectrum disorders (ASDs) and 10 single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the 5’ region of the semaphorin 5A gene (SEMA5A) for 250 Korean trios including children with ASDs. Family-based association testing and haplotype analysis revealed a statistically significant association between rs194085 and multiple sociality traits with Korean ASDs in the dominant model (p<0.001, corrected p=0.035). This indicates that genetic variations in the 5’ region of SEMA5A play a role in the genetic predisposition to sociality traits in Korean ASDs.

Exploring factors influencing air quality performance

( Soonae Park ),( Ahyoung Cho ) 한국정책학회 2018 한국정책학회 학술대회 Vol.2018 No.-

This study aims to analyze the factors influencing air quality performance by using a spatial autoregressive model (SAR) and a spatial error model (SEM). The extended STIRPAT model is employed as an analytical framework and a panel data set of 100 countries from 2007 to 2014 is used. Given the statistically significant Moran’s I, this study confirms the presence of spatial autocorrelation in air quality performance. By controlling the spatial effects, results of SAR and SEM show that urbanization, share of secondary and tertiary industries, fossil fuel consumption, population density and the number of cars are significant socio-economic factors of air quality performance. Among these, however, only urbanization, secondary industry and fossil fuel are found to be constant in both spatial models. In order to further understand how each sub-indicators of air quality performance are affected by socio-economic factors and spatial effects, a separate analysis for exposure to PM2.5 was conducted and results imply that secondary industry and fossil fuel are the most decisive factors of exposure to PM2.5. These findings suggest that it is essential to cooperate with neighboring countries and to expand R&D expenditures on technologies to enhance energy efficiency and to reduce pollutant emissions.

정부정책에 대한 국민들의 지지 요인에 관한 연구

박순애(Soonae Park),유미년(Minyeon Yoo) 한국정책분석평가학회 2008 政策分析評價學會報 Vol.18 No.4

The purpose of this study is to analyze what factors affect people’s support for the government and parties. Specifically, this study aims to analyze whether values on progressive or conservative ideology or the government’s role were an effective variable, whether administrative service satisfaction had an effect on people’s support for the government, and whether individual environment and situation decided a preference for each party. In order to test those hypotheses, this study carried out the structural equation modeling analysis with 2007 Citizen Survey data. Values on the government’s role, satisfaction for administrative service, income level and satisfaction for individual life gad a significant effect on their recognition about the government. However, variables as ideology and age did not have a direct effect on people’s support for the government. Especially, belief for the government played an important role as a mediating variable connecting various exogenous latent variables with valuation on the government activities and support for parties. The people had low support for the Participatory Government as much as they had high-level income. However, satisfaction for subjective life level had an affirmative effect on their support for the government.

대·중소 및 중견 기업의 ESG 성과와 재무가치 간의 상관관계 분석

박순애 ( Soonae Park ),신은혜 ( Eunhae Shin ) 한국환경연구원 2021 環境政策 Vol.29 No.4

최근 금융위원회는 2030년까지 모든 상장기업에 대하여 ESG 전 분야에 대한 공시를 의무화하겠다는 계획을 발표했다. ESG 전담 조직을 꾸릴 수 있는 여유자원을 가진 대기업과 달리 중소·중견 기업들은 급격한 정책 변화로 인하여 단기적으로 손실에 노출될 가능성이 크다. 이에 본 연구에서는 한국기업지배구조원의 ESG 평가 자료를 바탕으로 기업의 규모에 따라 비재무적 ESG 성과를 위한 기업의 노력과 재무상태, 단기 기업가치, 장기 기업가치의 3가지 재무적 지표 간의 관계를 분석하였다. 분석결과, 첫째 ESG 등급과 기업규모별 재무적 성과를 검토한 결과, 집단 간 차이는 중견기업에서만 발견되었으나, 회귀분석 결과는 대기업을 제외한 중소·중견기업 모두 통계적으로 유의한 정의 관계를 보여주었다. 둘째, ESG 성과와 장기 기업가치 간의 관계에 대한 분석결과, 대기업, 중견기업, 중소기업 모두 장기 기업가치와 ESG 등급 간에 통계적으로 유의한 차이가 있는 것으로 조사되었으나, 회귀분석 결과는 중견기업과 대기업에서만 유의한 정의 관계가 있는 것으로 나타났다. 특히 중소기업의 경우 오히려 장기 기업가치가 낮은 집단이 ESG 성과가 높은 역의 관계가 나타나 ESG 관련 규제당국이 주목해야 할 부분이다. 셋째, 기업의 단기가치와 관계에서는 대기업과 중소기업은 유의하지 않았으나 중견기업의 경우 유의한 차이가 있는 것으로 나타났으며 이는 회귀분석에서도 통계적으로 유의한 부의 관계를 보여주고 있다. 전반적으로 ESG 성과와 재무적 지표들 간의 관계는 중견기업에서 가장 확연하고 뚜렷하게 나타났다. 중견기업에서 ESG 성과가 좋은 기업이 재무적 성과와 장기 기업가치도 개선되었지만, 단기 기업가치와는 역의 관계를 보여준 반면, 중소기업과 대기업의 경우 예상과 달리 중견기업만큼 그 관계가 강하게 나타나지는 않았다. 따라서 중소·중견 기업을 대상으로 공시 의무화 등 기업의 ESG 참여확대를 위한 정책이 장기적으로는 기업의 경영성과에 도움이 된다고 할지라도 단기적으로는 기업운영에 타격을 입을 수가 있으므로 정부의 보완책이 필요한 부분이다. The Korean government recently announced a plan to expand the mandatory disclosure of ESG information for all KOSPI-listed companies by 2030. While large corporations with resources can effectively comply with ESG-related regulations, SMEs (small and medium-sized enterprises) may become financially stressed by the rapid policy changes. Using the Korea Corporate Governance Service’s ESG data, this study examines the relationships between ESG performance and three financial indicators: financial performance, short-term corporate value, and long-term corporate value, according to corporate size. It demonstrates that, first, SMEs have a statistically significant positive correlation between ESG performance and financial performance, while large companies do not. Second, companies of all sizes have a statistically significant difference between ESG performance and long-term corporate value. However, in terms of direction, small companies show a inverse relationship of which ESG-related regulators should be prudent. Third, large and small companies do not show a significant relationship between ESG performance and short-term value, while mid-sized companies show a statistically significant negative relationship. Overall, the relationship between ESG performance and financial indicators is most pronounced and evident in mid-sized companies. In mid-sized companies, companies with good ESG performance have better financial performance and better long-term corporate value but show a negative relationship to short-term corporate value. The relationship for large and small companies is not as strong as mid-sized companies. Therefore, although the expansion of such disclosure for SMEs may attract investors for capital raising and eventually help enhance business performance, the government’s supplementary measures are needed. Administrators should be more cautious because the policy changes may hurt business operations in the short term.

외식업체의 물리적 환경이 고객의 행동에 미치는 영향 -위생관리변수의 조절효과를 중심으로-

박순애(SoonAe Park),김경미(Kyungmi Kim) 한국산업정보학회 2021 한국산업정보학회논문지 Vol.26 No.4

본연구는 코로나19 확산의 여파로 외식 산업의 심각한 매출 감소를 회복하기 위한 처방안의 하나로서 소비자들이 외식산업의 물리적 환경의 중요성을 어떻게 인식하고 특히 위생변수의 조절 효과가 소비자들의 행동에 어떠한 영향을 끼치는지를 조사하였다. 이 목표를 달성하기 위해 본 연구는 자기 기입식 설문조사 방법을 통해 진행하였으며 배포된 설문지 중 627부가 최종 유효한 응답지로 선택되었다. 그리고 다중회귀분석을 통해 외식산업의 물리적 환경변수가 고객의 구전 (Word of Mouth) 행동과 재방문의사에 어떠한 영향을 주었는지 검증하고 위생관리변수가 물리적환경변수와 소비자의 행동사이의 관계에서 조절역할을 하였는지를 검증하였다. 검증결과 외식산업의 물리적환경은 소비자의 긍적적인 구전에 영향을 주었고 재방문 의도에도 긍적적인 영향을 주었다. 외식업체의 물리적 환경과 구전의 관계에 코로나19 대응 위생관리 변수가 조절역활을 하지 않았지만 외식업체의 물리적환경과 재방문의도 관계에서는 조절역활을 하는 것으로 나타났다. 이상의 결과를 통해 코로나19 이후 외식업체의 운영성과를 높이기 위해서는 무엇보다도 매장 내의 청결성을 유지하는 것과 코로나19로 인한 고객 감소에 대응하기 위해 매장 내에서 질병 예방 노력이 중요함이 확인되었다.

박순애(Park Soonae),정선경(Jeong Seongyeong) 서울행정학회 2011 한국사회와 행정연구 Vol.21 No.4

This study aims to investigate the effects of organizational justice including perceptions of compensation and promotion on career plateau, job commitment. and intention to turnover, based on a case study of a public corporation. In a survey questionnaire, 485 out of 1,278 employees responded and 417 cases without missing data were analyzed using structural equation models (SEMs). There were several key findings. First, satisfaction with procedural justice appears to have positive effects on compensation and promotion satisfaction, but negative effects on career plateau. However, satisfaction with promotion was found to have no statistically significant effects on career plateau when rank and length-of-service is controlled. Second, the length-of-service shows no statistically significant effect on public service motivation (PSM) and career plateau. In contrast. rank has a positive effect on procedural justice and PSM, but a negative effect on career plateau. Third, SEM results show that career plateau is the core factor for having a negative effect on job involvement: the stronger the dissatisfaction with career plateau, the higher the intention to turnover. In addition, PSM was found to have positive effects on job commitment and negative effects on the intention to turnover. Overall the results of the present study implies that it is important to utilize economic incentives, such as compensation. in order to enhance the efficiency of public organizations, but its success or failure depends on capabilities in cultivating employee PSM and resolving dissatisfaction with procedural justice and career plateau.
