Social enterprise offers an efficient mechanism for the government to create jobs, yet its sustainability and performance have been its vital goal. This study aimed to examine the effect of social intelligence of employees of social enterprises(ESE) on job performance from the perspectives of human resource on job performance. We collected 210 surveys from 33 social enterprises located in Seoul metropolitan area, then conducted empirical analysis through multiple linear regression analysis. Results of the analysis revealed that, among the subcategories under the social intelligence of ESE, it was ‘social imformation processing’ factor that was proven to be effective on overall job performance, furthermore, we discovered that job performance was improved as the education, wage level or social skills were higher, or when the number of family members in the household was lower. This study was a preliminary exploration on how job performance was affected by social intelligence of ESE, which can be utilized as baseline data for human resource management in social enterprise.

Foreign non-governmental organizations(FNGOs) have contributed to China’s socioeconomic development and engagement with the rest of the world since the country’s adoption of reform policy in the late 1970s. Despite the rise in their number and influence, the central government did not introduce any national-level laws for FNGOs for nearly 40 years. Instead, it relied on sporadic regulations and the informal “Three Noes” approach of “no recognition, no banning, and no contact.” The Xi Jinping administration, however, filled this legal void in 2016 through the enactment of the Law on Domestic Activities of Overseas NGOs. This study addresses this significant event and its potential impact on FNGOs by comparing the contents of the new law with those under the previous policies and by examining the broad political context that informed its enactment. The analysis suggests that the central government views FNGOs as targets for top-down management and supervision rather than as partners in governance and adopted the law as a tool for corporatist control of FNGOs. Although the new law grants legal status and legitimacy to FNGOs, it is likely to constrict their operational space to officially sanctioned areas under an increasingly unified management system of the public security apparatus of Chinese party-state, thereby generating homogeneity within the FNGO ecosystem.

The purpose of this article is to review the Declaration of Independence on March 1, 1919 and to re-examine the Republican spirit of the 3.1 Movement. Furthermore, I propose to commemorate March 1 as "Republic Day" to help resolve the controversial "National Day" debate. Almost all Korean people agree with the nationality and legitimacy of the March 1st Movement, and many countries that have had colonial experiences make the day of Declaration of Independence the founding day. The contents of the Declaration of Independence contained the spirit of republicanism, and many people who participated in the movement were aimed at republicanism. The civil society of Korea, which created the March 1st Movement, formed a political society and established a government on its own, and its spirit was republican with universal values.
