Using a Likert five-point scale, a survey was conducted with executives and employees of freight forwarders and shipping companies. A difference test analysis (t-test) was conducted based on 112 valid samples. \u0000Results: Differences in perception were significant, depending on job instability, level of communication, work efficiency, and work performance. Overall, freight forwarder employees had a higher impact than shipping company employees on the remaining factors, except for work performance. \u0000Conclusions: This study suggests the necessity of a telecommuting policy based on analysis results and practical implications.","PeriodicalId":368687,"journal":{"name":"Korean Academy Of International Commerce","volume":"135 3 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-03-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131109556","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, certain conditions that must be fulfilled are not easily combined with the special features of investment arbitration. Future investment treaties should provide explicit provisions for the obligations of investors based on which contracting states may bring counterclaims.
