Employee Stock Ownership and Participation in South Korea: Incidence, Productivity Effects, and Prospects

The paper examines employee stock ownership plans in South Korea. The incidence and characteristics of ESOPs in publicly traded manufacturing firms is reported. Korean employees do not participate in ESOPs either financially or in decision‐making to the extent they could under the law. Evidence that tax incentives have very large effects on ESOP purchases is presented. Econometric estimates suggest that an increase in an average ESOP from 2% to 3% of total shares would lead to an increase in output of 2.6%. These results are broadly consistent with OECD countries, despite the smaller ownership shared and weaker employee decision‐making participation in Korea. The policy analysis concludes that ESOPs in Korea are not suitable for pensions; that it is not in employee interests to purchase all shares through initial public offerings (IPOs) and seasoned equity offerings (SEOs); that incentives for longer stock‐holding periods may be appropriate; that improvement in decision‐making participation is desirable; and that changes in repayment methods could make it more attractive for employees to purchase shares.

An Aspect of Political Socialization of Student Movement Participants in Korea

This article tests hypotheses from two perspectives, lineage socialization and generation unit, on Korean student protest participation, using 360 self-administered questionnaires collected at three Korean universities in the fall of 1991. Logistic response models were used to examine the influence of qualitative variables on protest behavior. Results indicate that both theoretical perspectives are not mutually exclusive in explaining the characteristics of student protest participants. However, the findings lend stronger support to the generation unit model. The presence of a strong horizontal age-group bond in Korean society influences students' political orientations and subsequently their protest behavior. The common denominator that binds these student protesters appears to be generational consciousness. The data also indicate that agents other than parents, such as peers, mentors, media, and so forth affect the process of (re)socialization to politics in this Korean student sample.

The Voting Decision: Instrumental and Expressive Aspects

O F ALL POSSIBLE POLITICAL ACTIONS the voting decision has received the most attention from behavioral political scientists. Probably we have compiled and analyzed more data on candidate choice and turnout than on any other form of political behavior. Of course, this heavy emphasis comes as no surprise. The voting act is the fundamental political act in a democracy. It is the most widespread political act. Furthermore, on the surface, at least, the voting act would appear to be one of the simplest (and therefore, most understandable) political acts. A heavy scholarly focus on the voting act follows naturally from these considerations. While our data base expands, however, our theoretical superstructure remains far from finished. It is fair to say that political science has relied chiefly on models rooted in the sociological, and later the social-psychological tradition.' These models hold that
