AbstractThis study examines how citizens' attitudes toward government are affected by verifying or correcting their prior knowledge of governmental policy concerning the COVID‐19 pandemic. Using a survey experiment, we asked respondents about their knowledge of the stimulus check provided by local governments in South Korea. We then provided the correct answer to half of the respondents at random. For outcome variables, we measured satisfaction with the stimulus check, trust in the government, and intention to pay extra taxes. We found that only verifying correct prior knowledge, not correcting incorrect knowledge, improved respondents' attitudes. Subgroup analysis revealed that the verification effect occurred specifically among those whose income remained stable during the pandemic, regardless of whether their political orientation was congruent with their local government. Our findings suggest that rather than publicly releasing policy‐related information to citizens indiscriminately, verifying the information through closer communication with well‐informed citizens can be a more effective strategy to improve citizens' policy efficacy and attitudes toward the government.

Whistleblowing plays a critical role in building healthy transparent and responsible organizations. Whistleblowing can be challenging, however, as it may result in significant costs for the whistleblower. Facilitating whistleblowing that resists illegal and unethical behaviors within organizations requires management to enhance behavior while protecting whistleblowers. From the perspective of risk-taking, the current research examines which factors are associated with whistleblowing intention using an original approach, the gamification method. Accordingly, in addition to the effects of respondents' characteristics including Big Five personalities, this research tests how the immediate supervisor's sex and organizational size, which are randomly assigned by interactive webcomics using hypothetical situations and experimental questionnaires, affect whistleblowing intention. Logistic regression analysis shows openness is significantly associated with whistleblowing intention. In the hypothetical situation, whistleblowers are more likely to come forward if they have a supervisor of a different sex and/or are in a larger organization.

This article analyzes the Four Major Rivers Restoration Project, which was the most important component of South Korea's national Green Growth Policy. It is difficult to provide a definitive evaluation of the project because the expected outcomes will emerge only in the long term. In spite of this difficulty, this research seeks to provide an evaluation based on early outcomes of the project. This evaluation reveals that the project has not achieved its intended purpose yet, but it has some achievements in preventing flooding, minimizing water scarcity, improving water quality, and revitalizing local economies. In exploring the causes of current outcomes, this study highlights the factors that affect policy outcomes, which include process, program, and political dimensions. Each dimension has some factors that negatively affect the project. If the government wants to achieve the original purpose of the project, relevant reforms are due.
