Abstract
Purpose: This study forecasts the medium- to long-term need for adjusters and proposes strategiesto effectively manage the workforce. By determining the optimal number of adjusters, this study aims to stabilize crop insurance operations and address specialization and supply issues, ultimately enhancing industry reliability within the broader context of the Asian business environment. Research design, data and methodology: It utilized agricultural insurance data and survey personnel information from Nonghyup Property & Casualty Insurance. A negative binomial regression model was employed to estimate the number of loss assessment cases. The optimal number of agricultural insurance claims adjusters was determined by multiplying the adjusters required per case by estimated loss cases, considering total budget and expected income per person. Results: The optimal number of agricultural insurance claims adjusters was projected to range between 9,411 and 18,156 in the long term. These findings highlight critical gaps in workforce capacity and provide actionable insights for staffing strategies and operational efficiency. Conclusions: The continuous increase in enrollment rates and shortage of loss assessment personnel require strategic workforce planning, including performance-based pay scales and fostering competition among adjusters. These strategies ensure sustainability and offer a framework for similar agricultural and environmental conditions across other Asian countries.
Abstract
Purpose: Green Human Resource Management (GHRM) has recently attracted the attention of academic researchers and managers in different aspects. It is essential to evaluate the factors that influence green human resource management to reach organization sustainability. Research design, data and methodology: This paper reviews the articles cited in SpringerLink, ScienceDirect, Wiley Online Library, Taylor and Francis Online, Jstor and Emerald. The articles are closely related to the research topic. Results: After analyzing the relevant articles, factors that influence green human resource management were considered, including Green recruitment and selection (GRS), Green training (GT); Green performance management (GPM); Green involvement (GI), Top management support (TMS); Environmental orientation (EO); Green team creativity (GTC); Green knowledge management (GKM).
Abstract
Purpose: This study aims to measure the Agri-food Consumer Competency Index (ACCI) in Korea, identify factors influencing consumer competency, and classify consumers into distinct competency groups. Policy recommendations and potential business opportunities are proposed based on the findings. Research design, data, and methodology: Data from the Consumer Behavior Survey for Food were analyzed using complex sample analysis and latent class analysis (LCA). Competency scores were compared by gender, age, region, education, and income. Key factors, including consumer education and participation in consumer group events, were examined for their impact on competency. Results: The 2021 ACCI score was 72.0 out of 100, slightly higher than in 2016. However, 57.5% of adult consumers were categorized as having low competency. Significant differences in competency were observed across demographic groups, with women, older adults, and urban residents scoring higher. Participation in consumer education and group events positively influenced competency, while government-sponsored promotional events showed no significant effect. Conclusions: To addresslow consumer competency, targeted consumer education programs are recommended for rural areas, low-income households, and specific occupational groups, including soldiers, agricultural workers, and students. Remote education through TV and media appears more effective than social media for improving competency among low-competency consumers. As government consumer education initiatives rely heavily on outsourcing to private institutions, the findings of this study are expected to enhance policy design and present new business opportunities for private education providers.
