The American Society for Public Administration awarded
this year’s Junior Asian Scholar Award to UT Dallas student Kwang Bin Bae.
The
award, which recognizes Asian graduate students who demonstrate scholarly
promise, included a cash prize and recognition at the ASPA Section on Korean
Public Administration meeting on March 16.
Bae received the award in recognition of a paper that was
accepted for presentation at the 2014 ASPA annual meeting. The paper, presented with Doug Goodman, Associate Professor of Public Affairs at UT Dallas, was entitled "The Influence of Family-Friendly Policies on
Turnover and Performance in South Korea."
The study investigated the relationship between
family-friendly policies and organizational performance, voluntary turnover
rate and labor productivity, using the Korea Workplace Panel Survey data from
2005 to 2009. The result of the analysis suggests that the number of
family-friendly policies is positively associated with labor productivity in
public organizations. However, the number of family-friendly policies does not
reduce the turnover rate.
Bae is currently a
teaching assistant at UT Dallas pursuing a Ph.D. in Public Affairs.
