Security Authentication

The electronic signature service has been causing various problems due to the rapid growth of e-commerce services. Therefore, in order to create an authentication service suitable for the era of the 4th Industrial Revolution, new security authentication technologies such as the cloud must be utilized. However, there is a lack of prior management studies on the intention to accept digital signatures. Therefore, this study conducted an empirical study to identify factors affecting the intention to adopt cloud-based digital signature services. This research proposed a model based on the technology–organization–environment framework and empirically analyzed the degree of mutual causality and influence between variables using the partial least squares structural equation model. The results show that technical characteristics, organizational characteristics, and environmental characteristics significantly affected the intention to adopt. However, there are still many concerns about the security of cloud-based services. It has been confirmed that solving this problem is the key to the activation of the electronic signature service.

Different Levels

The present paper gives a review of empirical research on ethical leadership and shows that still little is known known about the contextual antecedents of ethical leadership. To address this important issue, a conceptual framework is developed that analyzes the embeddedness of organizational ethical leadership. This framework identifies manifest and latent contextual factors on three different levels of analysis – society, industry, and organization – which can affect the development and maintenance of ethical leadership. In particular, propositions are offered about how (1) societal characteristics, notably the implementation and the spirit of human rights in a society and societal cultural values of responsibility, justice, humanity, and transparency; (2) industry characteristics such as environmental complexity, the content of the organizational mandate, and the interests of stakeholder networks; and (3) intra-organizational characteristics, including the organizational ethical infrastructure and the ethical leadership behavior of a leader’s peer group, influence the development and maintenance of ethical leadership in organizations. This list of factors is not exhaustive, but illustrates how the three levels may impact ethical leadership. Implications for managerial practice and future research are discussed.
