Organizational nostalgia and proactive behavior [Data collection stage]

Currently, I am engaged in a research project under the guidance of Professor Jiyoung Park at Duksung Women's University.  Our focus lies on the intriguing intersection of organizational nostalgia and proactive behavior. This project is in the data collection stage, and I am preparing for both an experiment and a field survey to delve deeper into this dynamic relationship. Stay tuned for updates on the progress and findings of this study!

This study utilizes Human Capital Corporate Panel data to investigate the implementation of human resource management systems in Korean companies and whether there are differences in employee evaluations of HR departments depending on the type of implementation. Additionally, this study examines the impact of workers’ HR department evaluations on job satisfaction and organizational commitment. Latent profile analysis (LPA) revealed four latent profiles: “passive implementation,” “moderate implementation,” “reward-oriented,” and “active implementation.” Workers' HR department evaluation, considering factors such as contribution, communication, trust level, and expertise, was the highest in the "active implementation", followed by the "reward-oriented," "moderate implementation," and "passive implementation" profiles. However, there was no significant difference between the “moderate implementation” and “reward oriented” types. Moreover, there was a significant positive relationship between workers' HR department evaluations, job satisfaction, and organizational commitment. Finally, the implications and limitations of these findings are discussed.

This study investigates the career decision trajectories among Korean university students and their associations with antecedents, including career decision self-efficacy, self-esteem, and perceived career barriers. Utilizing a five-wave longitudinal data from the Youth Panel survey covering the period from 2015 to 2019, we employed growth mixture modeling to identify four distinct career decision trajectories: ‘decided’, ‘developmental indecision’, ‘chronic indecision’, and ‘regressive indecision’. Also, the results revealed that career decision self-efficacy is related with a higher likelihood of belonging to the decided group compared to the developmental indecision and regressive indecision groups. Regarding self-esteem, individuals with lower self-esteem were more likely to belong to the regressive indecision group than the other three groups. Concerning perceived career barriers, the higher the perceived barriers, the more likely individuals were to belong to the chronic indecision group, followed by the developmental indecision, decided, and regressive indecision groups, in that order. Based on the findings of this study, implications were discussed, and the limitations of the research were addressed, along with suggestions for future studies.
