Comparison of leadership styles in Confucian Asian countries

The purpose of this study was to examine the overall impact of four leadership styles (charismatic, directive, participative, and supportive) in four Confucian Asian countries, China, Japan, South Korea, and Singapore, by reviewing recent studies conducted in those countries. By reviewing 38 studies selected from 430 studies published between 2005 and 2016, we identify the impact of the four leadership styles in the four Asian countries. We start with the research question and purpose, and then propose criteria for selecting the relevant recent studies followed by a review of cultural heritage and its influence on leadership in the four Asian countries. We summarize and review the studies and, finally, discuss the theoretical and practical contributions of this study.     

Naturing the Nation: Aliens,Apocalypse, and the Postcolonial State

The purpose of this study is to understand how the British Canadian Frank Schofield transformed himself into an established missionary scholar and nobleman in Korea. The study employs its framework from the structure of cultural exchange itself in its survey of Schofield's career. It examines the relevant aspects of Korean and Western cultures, and the characteristics of Schofield who linked them. The case, including themes significant both to Korean and Western cultures, such as the importance of spirituality, an emphasis on education, and the ideals of justice and love, explains reasons for his success as a cultural mediator between Korea and the West. It reveals that the flow of information and ideas between Koreans and Schofield illustrates the ability of intercultural contact to influence the initiating as well as receiving culture. It suggests that such a distinction between sender and receiver may carry little ultimate significance. Finally, it argues that individuals of different cultures can convey information and ideas effectively only if the conveyer learns about the target individuals for the information and ideas, and communicates on the basis of that knowledge, as intercultural communications occur between the individuals of different cultures.     

Stability and dominance in career success orientation in South Korean employees

This study explored whether career orientation is stable and whether predominant types exist by looking at the differences in specific demographic variables (age, years of work experience, employment level, gender, type of job and education level). These were examined through the framework of career success orientation in a Korean wireless communications company. The findings show that career success orientations were not the same by age, length of work experience, and employment level, and dominant career success orientations were based only on education level. The results imply that there are either generation differences or changes in career orientation and that theoretical re-investigation is needed in researching dominant career orientation by gender.     

如何认识出兵援朝决策过程中的一封电报

1950年 10月中国在是否出兵援朝的决策过程中 ,曾出现过两种不同的意见。一种主张接受北朝鲜金日成首相的请求立即出兵 ,一种主张出兵的条件尚未具备。以毛泽东为首的我党决策人经过缜密、慎重的研究后 ,曾给苏联发出了“暂不出兵”的电报。该电文的发出 ,是当时我党领导人在决策过程中意见暂不统一的真实反映 ,而非出于策略上的考虑     

Internal labor markets and the effects of structural change: Job mobility in Korean labor markets between 1998 and 2000

This study examines job mobility in Korean labor markets since the 1997 economic crisis. The rising job mobility in Korea is analyzed by focusing on structural change in labor markets. Using the Korean Labor and Income Panel Study and discrete-time event history analysis, I estimate the job-stabilizing effects of internal labor markets and the effects of structural change on job mobility. The major findings are as follows: First, I found that internal labor markets were weakening between 1998 and 2000. Second, the job-stabilizing effects of internal labor markets on job mobility diminished between 1998 and 2000. Finally, the magnitude of the effects of internal labor markets on job mobility was contingent on the level of structural change. The effect of internal labor markets on job mobility was stronger in turbulent or contracting industries. This effect, however, also became weaker over time. The implications for Korean labor markets are discussed.     

试论后金（清）与朝鲜开设互市边贸的社会效果

在皇太极后金政权时期以及清朝初年，因地利之便，女真（满洲）人与邻境的朝鲜王朝于图们江地区开设了会宁、庆源边境贸易。互市边贸的开展，对后金（清）地区经济的发展以及东北边防的巩固，都起到了积极的作用；对朝鲜而言，互市边贸则推动了朝鲜货币经济和商品经济的发展，直接促进了朝鲜资本主义萌芽的‘产生与成长。因而，后金（清）与朝鲜之间的互市边贸，具有良好的社会效果。

中韩端午节祭之关联性论略

中韩两国的民间风俗节日中，都有“端午节”。从内容与形式来看，二者存在着较多的差异性，即是各具民族性与地域性。但是，二者的关联性也是非常清楚的。从风行的时代范围来说，中国式的端午节较早，而韩国式的端午节较迟。从活动内容来说，韩国式的端午节仍有许多方面是延续了中国式端午节的实质内容的。     

从历史视角看中国和朝鲜的音乐文化关系

中韩地方税制比较及对策研究

税收作为经济活动中最活跃的因素之一，是政府调控国民经济运行的重要经济杠杆。借鉴韩国地方税改革的成功经验，对中国建立健全地方税体系，充分发挥地方税的重要功能和作用，实现真正意义上的分级、分权、分税，构建新型的适应市场经济要求的财政运行机制具有十分重要的意义。
