Design/Methodology/Approach – The research method of this study is a quantitative approach, and the data was aggregated to the 1st Human Capital Corporate Panel Survey II (HCCPS) by the Korea Research Institute for Vocational Education & Training (KRIVET) due to its focus on the experience of accounting experts in Korean companies. A total of 1,024 participants were included in this study. Findings – The study found that high-involvement work organization and high-commitment HRM had a positive effect on organizational commitment and job competence in Korean companies, and that informal learning had a partial mediating effect in the causal relationship between a high-involvement work organization and organizational commitment and job competence. Research Implications – From a theoretical perspective, this research highlights the importance of informal learning in linking high-performance work system with human resource performance. In addition, this study also demonstrates the relational impact of high-commitment HRM and high-involvement work organization in Korean companies, further expanding the literature on workplace performance. From a practical perspective, this study suggests that companies need to incorporate effective high performance work systems, and build an environment to enable active informal learning opportunities. In addition, institutions should promote learning initiatives to maximize human resource effectiveness, ultimately improving organizational performance.","PeriodicalId":190222,"journal":{"name":"International Academy of Global Business and Trade","volume":"86 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-08-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131480893","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In the context of e-commerce live streaming, this article provides new ideas for exploring the logic of content marketing by exploring the paths of various dimensions of e-commerce live streaming content marketing on consumer purchase intention, and clarifying the interrelationships among the variables. Design/Methodology/Approach – Based on SOR theory, this article takes content marketing as the entry point to explore the influence mechanism of e-commerce live content marketing on consumer purchase intention from the perspective of consumers. Empirical data were obtained through questionnaires; 393 valid samples were analyzed using SPSS26 and AMOS26 tools, and research hypotheses were verified using structural equation modeling. Findings – The four dimensions of content marketing, functionality, entertainment, emotion, and interactivity can positively influence consumer purchase intention to varying degrees. Content marketing positively influences perceived value, perceived value positively influences purchase intention, and perceived value partially mediates the relationship between content marketing and purchase intention. Research Implications – This study reveals the mechanism of the influence of e-commerce live content marketing on consumer purchase intention, provides guidance for live anchors and e-commerce sellers, and, at the same time, helps consumers understand themselves and make more rational consumption decisions.","PeriodicalId":190222,"journal":{"name":"International Academy of Global Business and Trade","volume":"10 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-08-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126054640","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Design/Methodology/Approach – This paper largely is a literature review. It adopts a method of examining the texts of regional trade agreements based on the WTO RTA database. In addition, this study does not perform legal analysis as much as possible, and analyzes RTA-DSM from an institutional point of view. Findings – RTA-DSM has a similar structure to the WTO-DSM. However, the content of RTA-DSM is insufficient compared to the WTO-DSM, and as a result, there are few cases of dispute resolution. The crisis of the Appellate Body and the rapid evolution of RTA-DSM have increased the importance of RTA-DSM as an alternative to the WTO-DSM. The introduction of dispute settlement systems in regional trade agreements is an irreversible trend, and considering the usefulness, cases of dispute resolution using RTA-DSM will increase rapidly in the future. Research Implications – RTA-DSM cannot completely replace the WTO-DSM. In the long term, WTODSM should be restored, and RTA-DSM should play a supplementary role. The centrality of the WTO, which supports the multilateral trade system, must be maintained through the restoration of the WTO-DSM.","PeriodicalId":190222,"journal":{"name":"International Academy of Global Business and Trade","volume":"130 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-08-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115566040","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, it is hoped that the high value of Indonesian IPR imports will be beneficial in increasing the attractiveness of FDI, encouraging economic growth, and increasing IPR exports. The purpose of this research is to examine the causal relationship between IPR imports (MIPR), IPR exports (XIPR), incoming FDI in the manufacturing sector (FDI), and economic growth (GGDP) in the case of Indonesia. Design/Methodology/Approach – The data used in this research are time series data from the first quarter of 2004 to the fourth quarter of 2021. These data are analyzed using the VECM approach. Findings – The study results show that MIPR has dominated Indonesia’s total trade in this sector. The contribution of import value is 95 percent compared to exports, which are only 5 percent. The VECM estimation results show a one-way Granger causality relationship from the independent variables (FDI, GGDP, and XIPR) to MIPR as a dependent variable. In a short-term causality relationship, IPR imports encourage FDI inflows into Indonesia. Then, FDI in the manufacturing sector significantly impacts Indonesia’s IPR exports. Research Implications – Indonesia’s outflow of money to pay for the use of foreign IPR can encourage the entry of FDI in the manufacturing sector, resulting in a technology transfer that produces domestic IPR, which can be sold abroad.","PeriodicalId":190222,"journal":{"name":"International Academy of Global Business and Trade","volume":"9 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-08-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116876279","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Consequently, this study examines how to increase voice and creative behaviors in organizational life using transformational leadership and transactional leadership as the entry points, and selecting job crafting as the mediating variable. \u0000Design/Methodology/Approach - A hypothesized model was developed to examine the relationship between the constructs. The sample for the study comprised 364 Chinese employees. Data were analyzed using SPSS and structural equation modelling in AMOS. \u0000Findings - Transformational leadership and transactional leadership positively impact job crafting, voice behavior, and creative behavior, complementing the existing theory. Furthermore, this study finds that through job crafting, transformational leadership has an enhanced impact on voice and creative behaviors. \u0000Research Implications - Transformational leadership and transactional leadership are two separate and complementary types of leadership. Therefore, organizations should develop leaders that can flexibly use both styles to improve leadership effectiveness. Furthermore, the organization should pay more attention to employee job crafting, voice behavior, and creative behavior. Organizations or supervisors should appropriately grant employees work autonomy to respond to the rapidly changing external environment.","PeriodicalId":190222,"journal":{"name":"International Academy of Global Business and Trade","volume":"41 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122439742","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Model implementation includes a baseline scenario that projects the global economy from 2014 to 2030, and four policy scenarios representing the implementation of U.S. NDC targets without and with emissions trading. \u0000Findings - Simulation results suggest that CO₂ emissions reduction with trading significantly lowers the emissions abatement cost compared to CO₂ emissions reduction with no trading. Furthermore, the study finds that CO₂ emissions reduction leads to a drop in industry output by all energy and most non-energy sectors. Simulation results illustrate that CO₂ emissions reduction by the U.S. significantly affects most of its trading partners’ real GDPs, welfare, export and import flows, and industry outputs. \u0000Research Implications - The study provides a comprehensive impact assessment of global CO₂ emissions reduction, including U.S. contributions to addressing climate change. Moreover, the study has quantified the opportunity cost the U.S. will likely pay for meeting its NDC targets, and the likely impact of CO₂ emissions reduction by the U.S. on its major trading partners, especially the EU, Korea, Japan, and China.","PeriodicalId":190222,"journal":{"name":"International Academy of Global Business and Trade","volume":"97 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130405772","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
