As the popularity of K-pop grows, the industry is contributing to the positive perceptions of South Korea’s overall national brand value. This has led to it being considered a strategic industry worth cultivating. However, many people are unsure of its sustainability. To address this, our study investigates the factors that are key to the industry’s success—K-pop industry success factors—and their relationship with sustainability (SNS citizenship behavior and tourist behavioral intention). The study surveyed 1247 global viewers (eight countries) who listen to K-pop via TV, radio, and the Internet, watch K-pop videos on YouTube, and search information related to K-pop on SNS. The collected data were analyzed using two statistical techniques: structural equation model (SEM) analysis and fuzzy set-quality comparative analysis (fsQCA). (1) According to the SEM analysis, of the K-pop success factors, three factors demonstrated a statistically significant positive influence on SNS citizenship behavior: casting, producing/promotion, and content. (2) SNS citizenship behavior showed a statistically significant positive influence on tourist behavioral intention. (3) According to the fsQCA results, casting, training, social media, content, and SNS citizenship behavior were commonly derived at least three times, indicating that these are key factors impacting tourist behavioral intention. (4) In summary, results confirmed that, with the exception of producers, the five K-pop success factors, casting, training, producing/promotion, social media, and content, are crucial to sustainability and to increasing tourist behavioral intention.

This study investigates the effects of sustainable management activities (knowledge management activities, quality management activities, and competitive intelligence activities) on technology commercialization capabilities, sustainable competitive advantage, and business performance. In addition, it examines the effects of technology commercialization capabilities on sustainable competitive advantage and business performance as well as the effects of sustainable competitive advantage on business performance. We surveyed 409 global firms for 30 days from 1 October 2018 to 30 October 2018 and performed a structural equation model analysis on the data collected. We limited the scope of the survey to employees working at the level of team leader or above in the R&D department. The results showed that quality management activities and competitive intelligence activities have a statistically significant positive effect on technology commercialization capabilities and quality management activities, competitive intelligence activities, and technology commercialization capabilities have a statistically significant positive effect on sustainable competitive advantage. Additionally, sustainable competitive advantage has a statistically significant positive effect on business performance.

The present study examined aspects of job security, leadership risk (corporate-centric management style, short-term performance-orientedness, and subordinate authoritarianism), emotional exhaustion, and workaholism among 1 009 casual foreign workers from multicultural families living in South Korea. The nationalities of the casual employees included South Africa (n = 85), Cambodia (n = 124), China (n = 274), Indonesia (n = 135), Philippines (n = 166), and Vietnam (n = 225); with 45% and 55% female participants. Statistical analysis was conducted using a hierarchical analysis method. An independent sample t-test revealed no average difference between the Asian and African (South African) nationality groups. Corporate job security reduced emotional exhaustion and reinforced workaholism in the present sample. Additionally, corporate-centric management styles and subordinate authoritarianism moderated the relationship between workaholism and job security. However, the three leadership risk components did not moderate the relationship between job security and emotional exhaustion. We conclude that corporate culture might be an overarching influence on perceptions of job security and work engagement of non-permanent foreign employees.
