Automatic baseball commentary generation using deep learning
Byeong Jo Kim, Yong Suk Choi

Video captioning is known as a method to summarize or explain a video. However, it is very difficult to create sports commentaries, which are running scene-by-scene descriptions, for sports videos by using conventional video captioning. This is the case because sports commentary requires not only specific and varied information about every scene, such as player action descriptions in baseball, but also background knowledge and dynamic at-bats statistics that are not found in the video. We propos

Training and Diffusion of Change: The Impact of Training and Proactivity on Change-Related Advice Giving
Byeong Jo Kim, Denise M. Rousseau, Maria Tomprou
SJR Q1The Journal of Applied Behavioral Science

This study investigates the effects of organizational change–related training on the diffusion of change through the employee advice network. It also examines the contribution of employee proactivity to the effects of that training. We compare trainees ( N = 46) and nontrained peers ( N = 47) doing similar work at pre- and posttest to examine how training and individual proactivity contribute to the change process. Results indicate that training is associated with increased change-related knowle

As the global mobility of the workforce increases, little is known regarding how cross-regime migrants from a centralized planned economy to a free market economy adapt to working in capitalist organizations. This study investigates the migration, work, and adaptation experiences of North Korean escapees living and working in capitalist South Korean society. Using grounded theory methods, we uncover an underlying mechanism of cross-regime work adaptation, the internalization of capitalist work n

한국 공공기관의 증거기반관리: 조직지원과 리더특성의 역할
김병조

이 연구는 한국의 공공조직을 대상으로 증거기반 의사결정 및 증거기반관리 실행 실태를 확인하고 그 선행요인으로서 조직의 지원과 리더의 특성(예: 의사결정 스타일, 학문적 훈련, 기관장 경험)의 역할을 탐색하였다. 연구 결과 공공조직의 조직 특성과 종사자 역량, 외부환경, 조직문화 등의 요인을 통제한 이후에도 증거기반관리 실행을 위한 조직의 제반 지원(예: 데이터베이스 구축 및 자료 제공)과 조직리더의 의사결정 태도(예: 성과지표의 적극적 활용)가 조직 차원의 증거기반관리 실행 여부에 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 이 연구는 한국 공공조직의 증거기반관리 도입 및 실행 여부를 실증적으로 확인한 초기 연구로서 다음과 같은 의의를 가진다. 첫째, 이 연구는 한국 공공조직이 실제로 증거기반 의사결정 등 증거기반관리를 어느 정도 활용하고 있는지에 대한 기술적(descriptive) 정보를 제시한 첫 번째 실증 연구다. 둘째, 이 연구는 한국 공공기관의 증거기반 의사결정 및 증거기반 관리 도입의

Congruence Matters: Volunteer Motivation, Value Internalization, and Retention
Byeong Jo Kim, Min Han Kim, Jae-Wan Lee
Journal of Organizational Psychology

Volunteer research suggests that both altruistic and non-altruistic motivations may improve retention. We challenge the assumption that this is true for all volunteer work. Drawing on congruity theory of attitude change, we argue that volunteer motivation may lead to high (or low) retention when the volunteer experience is perceived as congruent (or incongruent) with their motivation. Specifically, altruistic motivation can lead to a low retention during a non-altruistic event, while non-altruis

Byeong Jo Kim
SJR Q1Public Personnel ManagementOA

Despite considerable research on the importance of a management practice emphasizing the relational aspect such as participative management, little is known regarding the mechanism through which this relation-oriented management practice motivates public employees to cultivate pro-organizational work behavior such as organizational citizenship behavior. Using data from public employees in South Korea, this study examines the association between participative management and organizational citizen

Congruence Matters: Volunteer Motivation, Value Internalization and Retention
Byeong Jo Kim, Min Han Kim
Academy of Management Proceedings

Volunteer retention research suggests that both altruistic and non-altruistic volunteer motivations are likely to be positively related to retention. We challenge the assumption that this is true for all volunteer work. Drawing on congruity theory of attitude change, we argue that volunteer motivation can lead to high (or low) retention when the volunteer experience is perceived as congruent (or incongruent) with their motivation. Specifically, altruistic motivation can lead to a low retention d

Agency power, peer satisfaction, and organizational identification among Korean government employees
Byeong Jo Kim, Jonghwan Eun
SJR Q2Journal of Asian Public Policy

While the effect of organizational prestige on members’ organizational identification has been overestimated, the potential role of individual experience stimulating positive affect has not been well-explored. The present study examines the effect of perceived satisfaction with interpersonal relationships as an individual-level affective antecedent on organizational identification among government employees. We also investigate the agency power of organizations as an organizational-level determi

When Promotions Come Unexpectedly: Promotion Congruence and Women’s Career Goal Transitions in Public Administration
Sangsuk Kim, Minju Jang, Byeong Jo Kim
SJR Q1Public Personnel Management

Drawing on grounded‑theory interviews with 16 female staffers in the South Korean National Assembly, this study integrates the Kaleidoscope Career Model with a person–environment congruence lens to explain career‑goal dynamics. A two-stage process emerges. First, initial careers are shaped by the interaction of entry motivations (proactive or reactive) and perceived organizational climate (positive or negative). Second, women interpret promotion decisions through four congruence patterns: positi
