“…This self-concept is a perception built from the internalization and meaning of a person towards himself personally. The formation of self-concept is also influenced by environmental factors and close relationships between humans (Choi et al, 2020;Flurry et al, 2021). Relationships between individuals that are intimately and continuously intertwined become one of the factors that form a person's perception of the attitude that should be displayed and the actions that must be taken (Hosany & Martin, 2012).…”

The study reviews the important role of Shared Vision-Based Teamwork Cohesiveness (SVBTC) in bridging Organizational Commitment (OC) and Organizational Citizenship Behavior (OCB) in employees of an organization. One of the positive behaviors that are expected to grow in an organization is the presence of high OC and OCB in employees. This study confirms that employees who have good OC are not always supported by good OCB through a review of various previous studies. In this study, a catalyst in the form of Shared Vision-Based Teamwork Cohesiveness (SVBTC) is presented from the point of view of Self Congruence Theory (SCT) which is believed to strengthen the relationship between OC and OCB. Applying for a literature review, this study provides a new perspective on the factors that can increase OCB for employees in an organization.

“…As such, it is reasonable to assume that these youth may be at a greater risk for victimization due to perceptions of greater vulnerability by potential offenders. Prior research has helped to confirm this stipulation by showing that South Korean children with greater stress and depressive symptoms are at higher odds of victimization (Choi et al, 2020).…”

“…Some multicultural children living in South Korea may also be at an increased risk for victimization through target antagonism. As noted above, prior research has used multicultural status as a measure of “target antagonism” and found multicultural children living in South Korea to be at a higher odds of victimization than native-born children (Choi et al, 2020). While multicultural status is an acceptable measure of target antagonism, a better measure would be one that is consistent across a person’s innate status, as multicultural status alone can be “visible” (in appearance or dialect) or invisible.…”

“…Recently, researchers have begun to explore the victimization experiences of multicultural persons living in more ethnically homogenous countries (Choi et al, 2020), such as South Korea, where the number of multicultural adolescents—defined as adolescents between the age of 9 and 24 from multiethnic marriage between a native-born South Korean and a person of other lineage or those who are born to foreign ethnic migrants who have obtained Korean nationality following the Nationality Act—represent about 1.9% of the entire adolesecent population in South Korea (Joung & Chung, 2020). 1 Of particular importance to this study is the work of Choi et al (2020), who applied Target Congruence Theory (TCT) to serious violent victimization experiences of youth living in South Korea.…”

“…While their work made an important contribution to the extant literature in this area, it suffered from serious methodological limitations related to operationalization and measurement error (see below) that make findings presented by the authors difficult to interpret. Thus, the goal of the current project was to help extend this line of inquiry and build on the work of Choi et al (2020) by using TCT to explore the predictors of self-reported bullying victimization unique to multicultural children living in South Korea ( N = 1,443) in an attempt to see what, if any, variables defined by the theory make multicultural youth attractive to potential offenders.…”

This study used data from the Multicultural Adolescents Panel Study (MAPS) to apply propositions found in target congruence theory (TCT) to self-reported bullying victimization experienced by multicultural family youth living in South Korea. Results from a sample of 1,443 multicultural family youth show that indicators of target vulnerability (e.g., depression and acculturative stress) and target antagonism (e.g., Korean ability and perceptions toward South Korea) significantly predict school bullying victimization in the theoretically expected directions. Directly, our results highlight the importance of considering variables specific to children with multicultural backgrounds when developing anti-bullying campaigns. Broadly, our results suggest that propositions outlined in TCT may be useful when implementing programs intended to prevent victimization.

Introduction: Relative to the general victimization literature, a small body of literature has examined the longitudinal process of overlap between bullying perpetration and bullying victimization. To address this gap, this study assesses the dynamic process of bullying perpetration and victimization from a developmental perspective and examine the applicability of target congruence and lifestyle-routine activities approach. Methods: Using data from 2,378 Korean youths collected from 2012 to 2016, the current study has conducted a Parallel Process Latent Growth Curve Modeling (PPLGCM) analysis to examine codevelopment and sequentially contingent processes of bullying and victimization, and Autoregressive Latent Trajectory Modeling (ALTM) to examine the time-lagged effect of bullying on victimization. Results: Results from the PPLGCM revealed a significant and positive relationship between the initial levels of bullying and victimization as well as a reciprocal and cumulative influence over time. The ALTM analysis indicated that increased victimization in the previous year was associated with increased victimization in the following year. Further, time-concurrent and timelagged effects of bullying on victimization were significant and positive. Finally, target congruence and risky lifestyle variables predicted the longitudinal process of victimization, indicating the cross-cultural generalizability of the theory. Conclusions: The findings offer support for a complex and dynamic relationship between bullying and victimization, and thus call for developmentally sensitive prevention strategies.
