The current study investigated the conflict management styles used by Korean local government employees with superiors, peers, and subordinates. A mail survey and personal interviews were used. Six hundred and seventy‐five usable responses were received. Personal interviews were conducted with 100 government employees. With written consents, all interviews were tape‐recorded and then quantified using content analysis. Overall, both mail surveys and personal interviews indicated conflict management styles varied according to the relative status of employees. Implications of the research findings for training and development of organizational members are provided, and areas for further research are suggested.

An onsite experimental study was conducted in order to observe conflict management styles of 90 middle‐level managers from a large Korean furniture manufacturing company. By using accomplices, conflict conditions were introduced in a controlled setting which simulated the features of a work environment. The experiment manipulated the relative status among the subjects and observed the influence of this treatment on the subjects' choices among different conflict management styles. Both structured observations and self‐report questionnaires converged to show that conflict management styles differed significantly when the managers interacted with superiors, peers, or subordinates: the managers were mainly avoiding with superiors, compromising with peers, and competing with subordinates. The current research suggests that the relative status among the parties in conflict determines the choice of conflict management styles.

AbstractWe investigate the performance of the stock and volume effect associated with changes in the composition of the socially responsible investment (SRI) governance index during a period from 2003 to 2012. It turns out that, in the short term and long term, the announcement of inclusion in the SRI governance index has a positive effect in the stock market; however, exclusion from the SRI governance index has a negative effect. The price reversal phenomenon partly appears in the short term, and stock prices are increased again. The increase of stock prices in the short and long runs indicates a change in intrinsic value. The performance of stock prices in the short and long runs is positive (+); this is caused by the downward‐sloping demand curve (DSDC). The trading volume for event periods is a little more than the current volume in trading volume analysis. Therefore, using these results, we can adopt the price pressure hypothesis, information hypothesis, DSDC hypothesis and liquidity hypothesis.

This exploratory study sought to identify relevant topics for financial education programs for Filipino Employment Permit System (EPS) workers in Korea. EPS workers are temporary migrant workers who return to their home countries after their contract of employment ends. The study reviewed existing financial education programs for migrants in Korea and the Philippines and collected primary data through surveys and focus group interviews to develop a suitable financial education program for Filipino EPS workers. The results revealed that Filipino EPS workers were passive users of Korean financial services and often lacked financial literacy. Also, they did not have much communication with their families in the Philippines about financial management. A forum about transnational financial education was organized to discuss the implications of the study findings and a pilot financial education program was developed.

Prestellar cores are self-gravitating dense and cold structures within molecular clouds where future stars are born. They are expected, at the stage of transitioning to the protostellar phase, to harbor centrally concentrated dense (sub)structures that will seed the formation of a new star or the binary/multiple stellar systems. Characterizing this critical stage of evolution is key to our understanding of star formation. In this work, we report the detection of high-density (sub)structures on the thousand-astronomical-unit (au) scale in a sample of dense prestellar cores. Through our recent ALMA observations toward the Orion Planck Galactic Cold Clumps, we have found five extremely dense prestellar cores, which have centrally concentrated regions of similar to 2000 au in size, and several 10(7) cm(-3) in average density. Masses of these centrally dense regions are in the range of 0.30 to 6.89 M. For the first time, our higher resolution observations (0.8 '' similar to 320 au) further reveal that one of the cores shows clear signatures of fragmentation; such individual substructures/fragments have sizes of 800-1700 au, masses of 0.08 to 0.84 M, densities of 2 - 8 x 10(7) cm(-3), and separations of similar to 1200 au. The substructures are massive enough (greater than or similar to 0.1 M) to form young stellar objects and are likely examples of the earliest stage of stellar embryos that can lead to widely (similar to 1200 au) separated multiple systems. ; Ministry of Science and Technology, China 108-2112-M-001-048- 108-2112-M-001-052- international partnership program of the Chinese Academy of Sciences 114231KYSB20200009 National Natural Science Foundation of China (NSFC) 12073061 Shanghai Pujiang Program 20PJ1415500 ANID AFB 170002 AFB-170002 National Natural Science Foundation of China (NSFC) U1631237 NRC Canada Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada (NSERC) Spanish Government AYA2017-88754-P State Agency for Research of the Spanish Ministry of Science and Innovation through the "Unit of Excellence Maria de Maeztu 2020-2023" award CEX2019-000918-M Basic Science Research Program through the National Research Foundation of Korea (NRF) - Ministry of Education, Science and Technology NRF-2019R1A2C1010851 National Science Foundation (NSF) AST-1715876 National Natural Science Foundation of China (NSFC) 11911530226 11725313 11873086 Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology, Japan (MEXT) Japan Society for the Promotion of Science Grants-in-Aid for Scientific Research (KAKENHI) 20H05645 Yunnan Province of China 2017HC018 Chinese Academy of Sciences MoST 108-2112-M-001-017 MoST 109-2112-M-001-023 ; Versión publicada - versión final del editor
