How Risk Managers’ Psychological and Social Capital Promotes the Development of Risk-Management Capabilities

: The purpose of this study is to investigate the roles of risk managers’ psychological and social capital in risk-management capabilities (technical, business processes, and external resources) and the relationship between risk-management capabilities and management performance. This study treated organizational culture as a moderating variable. The research subjects (n = 1000) included top managers, general managers, and managers in various industries. This study found that risk managers’ positive psychological and social capital play important roles in corporate risk-management capabilities. The investigation of the moderating e ﬀ ect of organizational culture also provides important guidelines for future studies. This study found that components of psychological capital (e.g., hope, resilience, optimism, and self-e ﬃ cacy) had a positive e ﬀ ect on substitute-risk-management capabilities (e.g., technology, business, and external management). Moreover, components of social capital (e.g., managerial tie utilization, trust, and solidarity) had a positive e ﬀ ect on substitute-risk-management capabilities (e.g., technology, business, and external management). The social and psychological capital of a company’s top management and managers are essential elements for strengthening the company’s capabilities for business and risk management. This study also found that the strength of the moderating e ﬀ ects on the relationship between psychological and social capital and risk-management capabilities di ﬀ ers according to the organizational culture. The implications of the study and limitations are discussed. maintains internal proﬁciency in its management work, has an integrated system, has a well-formed organizational culture. This study found that psychological and social capital are both directly related to a company’s risk-management capability. These results indicate that psychological and social capital have positive e ﬀ ects on technical, business, and external risk-management capabilities. Positive psychological capital has a positive e ﬀ ect on technical risk-management capabilities. Generally, hope and optimism require the belief that goals can be accomplished. Hope requires a goal-oriented will and a goal achievement path and emphasizes assessing the process of devising speciﬁc paths and alternative plans for achieving goals and overcoming obstacles using internalized control, which creates the motivation, will, and resolution to accomplish one’s goals. Self-e ﬃ cacy and other factors encourage managers to perform di ﬃ cult tasks and strive for success. The utilization of managerial ties, trust, and solidarity are considered to be sub-factors of social capital. Managerial tie utilization encompasses ties with


Introduction
In an uncertain global market economy with fierce competition, responding to and managing diverse types of risk have become more critical than ever. Internal and external uncertainty hinders companies from achieving their business performance goals and creates uncertainty in the timing of goal achievement. Risk management in the business field has been considered the process of identifying, prioritizing, and mitigating the impact of unforeseen events [1]. Many companies have systematized risk management as a means of understanding and analyzing such variables in advance to avoid negative consequences. In a business environment where uncertainty always exists, the relationship between a company's systematic risk-management capabilities, and business performance merits attention. Thus, risk managers (e.g., CEOs, general managers, etc.) responsible for managing risk in their enterprises play an important role in the business environment [1,2].
Studies focusing on the recognition of and investment in psychological and social capital seem vital to the success and competitive advantage of organizations both currently and in the future. "Psychological and social capital must be considered an important variable and a predisposing factor driving the management performance of start-up entrepreneurs" [3][4][5], management, general marketing, and service marketing capabilities [6,7]. In this context, the role of positive psychological and social capital, which is an external element of corporate executives, may be closely associated with their risk management, managerial strategies, and performance. As positive psychological and social capital is regarded as an important means for business management, theories regarding this topic have attracted attention and become very important in the field of management [5,8]. Exploring the role of risk managers' psychological and social capital in risk-management capabilities in the current business environment is needed. The results of the study could provide companies with appropriate directions for implementing their risk management strategies or creating business mindsets in their employees.
The purpose of this study is to examine the correlations between corporate risk managers' social and psychological capital and their capabilities for risk management. Moreover, this study aimed to identify the effects of companies' risk management capabilities on their business performance and the moderating effects of the organizational culture, which was implemented as a moderator variable, thereby contributing to the development of corporate risk management and increasing the effects of corporate managerial strategies. This study provides valuable information on aspects of sustainable planning and risk management in corporate and government.

Risk-Management Capability
Risk can assume the form of gradually increasing competitive intensity, unwelcome interest or attention in mass media, government intervention, interference with a company's normal management processes, or a threat to a company's public image, which often focuses on one or more executives [1,[9][10][11]. Currently, the business environment demands active and comprehensive risk management, and this change in perception presents an opportunity. Risk management activities are currently often comprehensively controlled through management systems in which the risk-management strategy, related processes, and even risk-management committees operate professionally to manage risk-related affairs [1,12,13]. Nevertheless, regarding managers' risk-management capabilities, the need for executives and directors to understand or prepare for risk management has been emphasized. Thus, boards of directors provide the overall framework for risk management while executives play a practical role within the framework by applying the risk standards established by the boards of directors. This process can help companies maximize profits in the long term. Risk management capability used in the study divided into technology, business, and external management capabilities by considering the characteristics of the subject companies.

Positive Psychological and Social Capital
While the major variables of psychological capital have been studies as independent concepts, a study conducted by Luthans, Youssef, and Avolio [5] integrated these variables into the superordinate concept of psychological capital and investigated its correlations with organizational performance based on the results of existing studies that found that the four variables of psychological capital were commonly associated with the cognitive condition and motivation required to achieve tasks or goals and had positive effects on their outcome variables. Psychological capital comprises the following four variables: Self-efficacy and self-confidence [14], which refer to positive thinking without pessimism even when things do not work as planned; hope, which refers to perceiving even difficult situations as opportunities for growth [15]; optimism, which refers to exerting effort to identify positive aspects without frustration, even in failing situations [16]; and finally, resilience, which refers to not focusing on failures of self-confidence, but rather thinking about how to respond to future events [17].
The concept of social capital has developed in social studies in terms of trust, rules governing social behaviors, social interactions, and network resources and characteristics [6,7,[18][19][20][21][22][23]. Trust is considered a psychological condition that is formed with the intention to endure vulnerabilities based on positive expectations regarding the intentions and behaviors of others [19,20,24]. Solidarity is a longer-term orientation in relationships, and mutual solidarity eventually leads the members of independent channels to better support customer needs and work together to further increase their mutual benefits [6,7,23].
Some scholar argued that "well-being contributes to employees' proactively developing their work roles and job crafting activities" [25]. That is to say, focusing on employees' well-being can help staff to maintain the managerial performance or efficiently handle the risk or crisis event [25]. Perspective from the previous studies, the social and psychological capital of a company's top management and managers are essential elements for strengthening the company's capabilities for business and risk management. The development of corporate risk management capabilities is considered closely related to risk managers' intrinsic qualities and characteristics. The business mindsets of middle managers, namely, their psychological and social capital, may form a foundation for the ongoing survival and existence of companies [16,17]. Risk managers with a high level of psychological and social capital could have the capability to develop or control technical needs according to the time needed to make a change, the skills needed to respond to changing technology, and the collaboration and integration capability across the departments that manage evolving technology. Risk managers with a high level of psychological and social capital could have the capability to develop or improve when a company is well-equipped with the skills required to resolve and respond to labor-management relationship issues and disputes, prepare for economic downturns, and institute a system to ensure compliance with the law [4,5]. These managers have the development skills to form smooth labor-management relationships and resolve diverse internal disputes or conflicts with the local community and other companies, all of which are important for preparing for an uncertain market economy. Risk managers with a high level of psychological and social capital could have the capability to develop or improve business-related risk-management capabilities, including business expense management, product development organization, the terms and conditions of contracts with trading companies, ethics management, and credit management.

Organizational Culture
Research works concerning corporate culture began to be actively conducted, which also gave rise to organizational studies using cultural approaches. A company's organizational culture can differentiate and strengthen its corporate image. The proper formation of corporate culture within a company can enable its employees to communicate easily, make better decisions based on the same standards, and experience increased mental satisfaction [26][27][28][29][30][31]. Some researchers have suggested that employment practices represent a major process through which social capital is facilitated or suppressed within an organization and conceptually explained that the formation of organizational social capital (e.g., cooperation and trust) through employment practices (stable relationships, strict norms, and specified roles) affects organizational performance [32]. The concept of organizational culture may consist of various elements, such as beliefs, norms, customs, and values [26][27][28][29][30][31]. Nevertheless, organizational culture is considered an important element that helps companies effectively achieve their business performance [29,33].

Hypotheses and Research Model
The relationship between psychological capital and various outcome variables has been previously studied [4,5,34,35]. Individuals who have high levels of psychological capital were found to experience corresponding positive effects on their job performance, innovative behaviors and job satisfaction and show strong enthusiasm for their tasks and low levels of intention to change their jobs [16,34]. Individuals who have high levels of hope were found to have strong desires for self-realization and the ability to obtain strong social support, even in stressful situations, and respond to stressors via various channels. These findings suggest that hope in organization members is related to their job performance and satisfaction [34]. A study reported that hope has statistically significant effects on certain variables, including organizational effectiveness, that encompass job performance and attitudes [35,36].
Another study defined resilience as the ability to positively respond and successfully adjust to hardships and risky situations [17]. Luthans and Youssef asserted that individuals with high levels of resilience seek value and beauty and obtain personal growth in the process of overcoming adversities or suffering [35]. Given these findings, individuals capable of perceiving reality and accepting changes are predicted to find value in their jobs and remain enthusiastic [36]. An empirical study noted that individuals who are resilient are satisfied with their jobs and happy [35].
Optimism refers to a mindset that does not yield to failing situations and continuous attempts to resolve these situations by identifying their causes. Some empirical studies have reported that optimistic individuals find genuine enjoyment in their work, feel rewarded by their work, and achieve higher performance than those who are not optimistic [34,35]. In addition, optimistic employees were revealed to have higher levels of job performance [34]. Finally, individuals who have high levels of self-efficacy show enthusiasm for and pay close attention to their tasks, which eventually improves their performance [4,34,35]. Based on the literature review and discussion regarding psychological capital, the present study confirmed that the psychological capital of risk managers in companies affects various dependent variables. Therefore, this study established the hypothesis that risk managers' psychological capital is closely correlated with performance variables.
Social capital can influence each group member's career success and rewards within an organization, facilitate resource exchanges and product innovation within a department, lower the members' intention to change jobs, and promote the creation of entrepreneurship and new companies [6,7,37]. Since individuals have their own varied, but limited, abilities, they can achieve outstanding performance by combining their abilities with those of others. "Social capital enables individuals to carry out new activities that they could not perform without it, and social capital has the characteristics of capital because it makes individuals strive to meet new goals" [38]. "Organizations are open systems, and their success or failure depends on their abilities to mobilize valuable external resources" [39]. Corporate managers and chief executive officers (CEOs) can gain access to financial or strategic resources through their social networks [21], obtain high-quality information regarding products, markets, and technologies [22], and build a foundation for knowledge acquisition [23].
Employees' trust in managers is important as such trust can increase organizational members' willingness and support [40], and determines the degree to which organization members intend to behave according to the managers' directions and instructions despite uncertainties and potential risks. Thus, employees' trust in their managers is important for determining organizational members' physical and psychological conditions [41]. Acquaah stated that the relationships between a company's top management and the managers of other companies, government officials, and community leaders have direct or indirect positive effects on the company's business performance [21]. A summary of the existing studies suggests that the experiences of managers and their networks eventually have positive effects on the growth and performance of their companies [42]. Based on this discussion, the following hypothesis can be established: The social capital of corporate risk managers is closely correlated with performance variables. Risk managers' social capital may be directly linked to their companies' capabilities for risk management. Accordingly, the following hypothesis was established: Hypothesis 2 (H2). Risk managers' social capital has a positive impact on risk-management capabilities (H2-1: technical, H2-2: business, and H-3: external risk).
An executive's risk-related behavior affects the correlation between risk management and business performance. Some scholars argue that environmental factors have a minor impact on a company's risks and that most of a company's risks are derived from executive behavior. Their study results imply that an executive's capability has a greater influence on business performance than external factors [43][44][45].
Previous studies concerning risks report that a close relationship exists between corporate risk-management capabilities and management performance. It has been shown that financially healthier companies exhibit stronger positive risk-management and business performance. However, a small company may experience a negative impact [43][44][45]. In addition to the traditional risk-management factors, including risks due to management activity, operational strategy, financials, and social issues, newly emerging factors, such as the organizational structure, policy, organizational culture, and system factors influence a company's management performance. The necessity of forming an organization focused on risk-related tasks has been perceived, and it has been shown that regular education related to risk management is required [43,45]. Based on the above discussion, a company's risk-management capability could eventually affect its overall management performance. Hence, we propose the following hypothesis:
Previous studies emphasized that the organizational culture is a critical factor determining how to distribute resources to achieve an organization's long-term plans and goals and the organization's long-term direction and basic nature [27][28][29][30]. Organizational culture is necessary for explaining the process of finding, inventing, and developing solutions to problems with internal integration and environmental adjustment [27][28][29][30]. A well-defined organizational culture is vital for organizational success regarding the relationship between culture, job satisfaction, innovation, business performance, and employee commitment. Moreover, organizations with a strong culture enable them to compete globally [46,47]. The present study predicted that risk managers' social and psychological capital could have different effects on their capabilities for risk management, depending on the organizational culture [27][28][29]. Based on the above discussion, the following hypotheses reflect the prediction that the organizational culture of a company, which represents perceived possibilities, is related to risk management capabilities and management performance.

Hypothesis 4 (H4).
The organizational culture has a moderating effect on the relationship between psychological (H4-1) and social (H4-2) capital and technical risk-management capability.

Hypothesis 5 (H5).
The organizational culture has a moderating effect on the relationship between psychological (H5-1) and social (H5-2) capital and business risk-management capability.
Hypothesis 6 (H6). The organizational culture has a moderating effect on the relationship between psychological (H6-1) and social (H6-2) capital and external risk-management capability.

Research Method
The research model is shown in Figure 1. The following section summarizes the research hypotheses and research model built based on the above discussion.

Survey Procedures and Data Collection
The survey was conducted between March 1 and September 30 of 2019 in Korea. This study's sample comprised companies (small and medium enterprises and one large enterprise) from Korea. Among the companies registered with these country business associations, the sample companies were randomly selected by the investigators. The researchers contacted the top manager or managers of the companies using e-mail and phone and provided an explanation of the project and survey.
For the empirical analysis, we conducted a survey of each company's practical workers. This study involved the following two types of surveys: online and in-person. Then, willing participant companies were directed to the online survey website. In addition, the researchers visited the companies on an agreed date and asked the participants to complete the questionnaires as selfadministered surveys. The respondents were given gift cards as compensation by the researchers. In total, 1250 participants were invited to participate (e.g., top management, general managers and managers). Over 1125 responses were received, and 1000 responses were selected for the statistical analysis after excluding insincere responses, such as missing mark and cross marking. The response rate of this survey is over 80 percent. The questions regarding gender, age, education and etc. were placed on the first page. The second part of the survey included questions regarding social and psychological capital, risk management capability, management performance, and organizational culture.

Operational Definitions of the Main Variables
As seen Appendix A, the components of psychological capital are hope, resilience, optimism, self-efficacy, which suggested by previous studies [4,35,37]. The elements of social capital are managerial tie utilization, trust, and solidarity. Some scholar mentioned that "managerial tie utilization is defined as executives' interpersonal contacts with external entities" [6,7]. The categorizing methods and all items were adapted to suit this study [6,7].
A company's risk-management capability includes the risk level, level of a work division, system integration, and decision-making effectiveness. This study divided the factors constituting a company's risk-management capability into technology, business, and external management capabilities [43][44][45][46][47]. Technological risk-management capability included the following four items. The items are technological requirement conditions, technological change, system integration, and pilot test management. Business risk-management capability included the following four items. The

Operational Definitions of the Main Variables
As seen Appendix A, the components of psychological capital are hope, resilience, optimism, self-efficacy, which suggested by previous studies [4,35,37]. The elements of social capital are managerial tie utilization, trust, and solidarity. Some scholar mentioned that "managerial tie utilization is defined as executives' interpersonal contacts with external entities" [6,7]. The categorizing methods and all items were adapted to suit this study [6,7].
A company's risk-management capability includes the risk level, level of a work division, system integration, and decision-making effectiveness. This study divided the factors constituting a company's risk-management capability into technology, business, and external management capabilities [43][44][45][46][47]. Technological risk-management capability included the following four items. The items are technological requirement conditions, technological change, system integration, and pilot test management. Business risk-management capability included the following four items. The items are business expense, open mass production organization, terms and conditions of contracts, credit risk, and ethical management. External risk management capability included the following four items. The items are labor management relationship, dispute resolution, inflation, and legal compliance.
The organization culture as a moderating variable was adapted from previous research [27][28][29]48]. The authors classified organizational culture combined with risk management in the organization into the following six items. The items are the degree of perception of risk management activity, communication regarding risks, overall risk management, risk prediction, degree of trust with members, and degree of perception of continuous investigation regarding risk.
Management performance was measured by four items after correcting and modifying questionnaire items in previous studies to better fit this study [4,6,7]. The four items used to measure performance now distinguish between financial performance and non-financial performance [7]. The study used a five-point Likert scale, ranging from 1 ("not at all") to 5 ("very much"), with 3 indicating a normal score. Thus, the higher the score, the more affirmative the answer. The study also tests the survey data for reliability and validity, as "factor analysis [was] applied to reduce a large number of observed variables into fewer numbers of factors" [49,50].

Descriptive Analysis
The study's sample held positions, such as top managers, general managers, and managers in companies. As shown in Table 1, the eventual sample consisted of 623 men, 377 women and 1000 questionnaires. The detailed demographics are described in Table 1.

Assessment of the Measurement Model
The study tests the measurement tools for reliability and validity, as well as used exploratory factor analysis (EFA). Bartlett's test of sphericity were significant (X 2 = 52,566.5, df =1540, p < 0.001). The Kaiser-Meyer-Olkin measure of sampling adequacy was 0.932 for all variables. Therefore, the sample used in the study was likely not contaminated by common method bias [49]. As seen Table 2, seven factors were extracted for positive psychological capital, social capital, and risk management, which accounted for 75% of the total variance. Four factors were extracted for risk management capability and management performance, which accounted for 72% of the total variance. Thus, "the study found no dominant factor emerging from the factor analysis, implying that common method variance was not a serious problem" [49,50]. As shown in Table 3, Cronbach's alpha exceeded the standard acceptance norm of 0.70, the study's AVE (average variance extracted) satisfies the standard of 0.5. As seen in Table 3, the AVE value among the variables is greater than the squared correlation coefficient ( ). AVE in this study ranges 0.623 from 0.753. The Cronbach's alpha is 0.853 for psychological capital, 0.846 for social capital, 0.870 for technical risk, 0.834 for business risk, 0.850 for external risk, and 0.903 for management performance. Thus, the data collected for verification have sufficient discriminant and convergent validity.

Hypotheses Tests
As seen Figure 2, the research model remained within the acceptable boundaries. Hypothesis 1-1 assumes that psychological capital has a positive influence on technical risk management capability.
The results indicate that psychological capital has a positive effect on technical risk management capability (path coefficients: γ = 0.377(0.507), z = 15.7, p < 0.001). Hypothesis 1-2 assumes that psychological capital has a significant influence on business risk management capability. The results indicate that psychological capital has a positive effect on technical risk management capability (path coefficients: γ = 0.433(0.573), z = 13.5, p < 0.001). Hypothesis 1-3 assumes that psychological capital has a significant influence on external risk management capability. The results indicate that psychological capital has a positive effect on technical risk management capability (path coefficients: γ = 0.391(0.534), z = 12.1, p < 0.001). Thus, H1-1, 2, and 3 were supported.  As shown in Table 4, the result of testing of hypotheses 4, 5 and 6 indicate that the statistical significance of the regression coefficient of the interactions between organization culture and psychological and social capital was verified. The regression coefficient of the interactions between psychological and social capital and technical risk management capability on technical risk was statistically significant (β = 0.421, t = 5.81, p < 0.001 for psychological capital and β = 0.189, t = 2.62, p <  0.05 for social capital). The regression coefficient of the interactions between psychological capital and business risk management capability was statistically significant (β = 0.721, t = 10.7, p < 0.001 for psychological capital). However, the regression coefficient of the interactions between social capital Hypothesis 2-1 assumes that social capital has a positive influence on technical risk management capability. The results indicate that social capital has a positive effect on technical risk management capability (path coefficients: γ = 0.307(0.295), z = 9.45, p < 0.001). Hypothesis 2-2 assumes that social capital has a positive influence on business risk management capability. Social capital has a positive effect on technical risk management capability (path coefficients: γ = 0.252(0.239), z = 7.83, p < 0.001). Hypothesis 2-3 assumes that social capital has a significant influence on external risk management capability. The results indicate that social capital has a positive effect on technical risk management capability (path coefficients: γ = 0.296(0.289), z = 9.16, p < 0.001). Thus, H2-1, 2, and 3 were supported.
As shown in Table 4, the result of testing of hypotheses 4, 5 and 6 indicate that the statistical significance of the regression coefficient of the interactions between organization culture and psychological and social capital was verified. The regression coefficient of the interactions between psychological and social capital and technical risk management capability on technical risk was statistically significant (β = 0.421, t = 5.81, p < 0.001 for psychological capital and β = 0.189, t = 2.62, p < 0.05 for social capital). The regression coefficient of the interactions between psychological capital and business risk management capability was statistically significant (β = 0.721, t = 10.7, p < 0.001 for psychological capital). However, the regression coefficient of the interactions between social capital and business risk management capability on business risk was not statistically significant (β = 0.035, t = 0.529, p = 0.597 for social capital). The regression coefficient of the interactions between psychological capital and external risk management capability was statistically significant (β = 0.664, t = 9.72, p < 0.001 for psychological capital). However, the regression coefficient of the interactions between social capital and external risk management capability on external risk was not statistically significant (β = 0.006, t = 0.090, p = 0.928 for social capital). The regression coefficient of the interactions between technical and external risk management capabilities on management performance was statistically significant (β = 0.259, t = 3.93, p < 0.001, and β = 0.360, t = 5.82, p < 0.001). However, the regression coefficient of the interactions between business risk management capability on management performance was not statistically significant (β = 0.028, t = 0.345, p = 0.730). Thus, these results support H4-1,2. H5-1, H6-1, H7-1, and H7-3, but not H5-2, H6-2 and H7-2. Additionally, four control variables, including gender, industrial type, position, working year and firm size, had a positive effect on the dependent variables.
Managers with high positive psychological qualities and social capital tend to have a mutually collaborative attitude and excellent problem-solving skills and interpersonal relationships. These managers tend to perceive external risk factors as more important when they affect risk-management capability and tend to perceive the organizational culture as more important when it affects management performance. It has been proven that a company's risk-management capability has a positive impact on the company's management performance. When risk-management capability becomes visible, organization members work more efficiently, the organization's image improves, competitive advantages can be attained, and the work system improves. Thus, risk-management capability likely improves when a company has a risk-prediction manual, maintains internal proficiency in its management work, has an integrated system, and has a well-formed organizational culture.
This study found that psychological and social capital are both directly related to a company's risk-management capability. These results indicate that psychological and social capital have positive effects on technical, business, and external risk-management capabilities. Positive psychological capital has a positive effect on technical risk-management capabilities. Generally, hope and optimism require the belief that goals can be accomplished. Hope requires a goal-oriented will and a goal achievement path and emphasizes assessing the process of devising specific paths and alternative plans for achieving goals and overcoming obstacles using internalized control, which creates the motivation, will, and resolution to accomplish one's goals. Self-efficacy and other factors encourage managers to perform difficult tasks and strive for success. The utilization of managerial ties, trust, and solidarity are considered to be sub-factors of social capital. Managerial tie utilization encompasses ties with clients, competitors, private experts, relevant organizations, governmental departments, and financial institutions as aspects of social networks. In addition, trust is an essential element in the sharing and exchange of information among company members.
The present study conducted an empirical investigation of the relationships between managers' psychological capital and variables related to companies' risk management capabilities and business performance; thus, this study may be significant in terms of its focus on risk managers' psychological capital and risk-management capabilities.

Discussion and Conclusions
Some scholars argue for the employee capital system to be adopted by organizations in order to achieve the goal of recovery in a developed market as soon as possible [51]. The results indicated that technological innovation, ceaseless efforts to actively respond to changing technology and capture market trends, and cutting-edge technological power will all eventually impact risk management, as well as management performance. The global economic market is rapidly changing, resulting in greater uncertainty regarding the future. In addition to the visible types of capital, new types of capital that connect companies to their members in a cooperative relationship should be enriched. Thus, the abundance of social and psychological capital may be a driving force for the continuous growth and stability of companies and their wise reactions to risks.
The findings imply that an organization or company that systematically conducts pre and post hoc tests and evaluations of a product with cutting-edge technology shows remarkably improved risk-management capability. It is believed that companies and organization members who control risk do not regard these business-related risk-management capability factors as risks, but instead, perceive them as independent of risk factors. However, business factors required for product development are expected to affect a company's image formation or public activity. Credit with competitors and subcontractors and ethics management are classified as intangible assets. Such factors become important in an atmosphere of risk competition under a market economy situation, where the management of such intangible assets of companies becomes more complex and uncertainty increases.

Academic Implications
The implications of this study can largely be divided into two domains. First, as an academic implication, this study employed an evaluation of social and psychological capital. Thus far, psychological capital research has been limited to specific areas. Factors that are intrinsic to individuals, such as social and psychological capital, form a core business mindset that cannot be neglected by top management or managers in the current business environment in which the establishment and operations of companies are widespread. However, relevant theoretical and empirical studies have not been actively conducted. The present study has paved the way for promoting theoretical discussions regarding these factors by proposing and identifying new intrinsic management factors that establish businesses or managers as being in charge of risk management in terms of business mindsets, personnel and organization management, business strategies, and the development of marketing capabilities. Theoretically, the personal characteristics of risk managers, such as trust, networking, and sharing core values, are known to be closely linked to corporate risk management capabilities, such as self-confidence, resilience, optimism, and self-efficacy. In this context, the present study may provide the opportunity to advance theoretical discussions regarding this topic by proposing and identifying risk managers' risk management capabilities, their willingness to manage the risk management system, and their attitudes towards risk management or new factors that are intrinsic to their positions in terms of business mindsets, personnel management, and business strategies.
The study might pave the way for a new theoretical debate by suggesting and verifying risk managers' risk-management capability with respect to the business mindset, personnel management, and business strategy and the responsive attitude or new internal factors of the person in charge of risk management. This study has the following significance with respect to risk management. Modern companies can survive competition only if they can sensitively respond to information and change, understand trends, and satisfy needs in a timely way. Companies' responses to risk and risk management have evolved with the changing business environment. Currently, risk-management activities require a new perspective on risk management. While risk management was once localized in each department, currently, companies comprehensively perceive and respond to risk holistically.

Managerial Implications
Risk-management capability also differs depending on the risk managers' individual characteristics, such as their psychological and social capital. Risk management improves when risk managers exhibit a mutually collaborative attitude and excellent problem-solving skills and interpersonal relationships. An individual's propensity to respond to uncertainty also affects a company's risk-management capability. Managers who bravely respond to uncertainty and actively collect information and find ways to break through the risks tend to develop risk management capability and achieve better risk-management performance. Some scholars argued that well-being contributes to employees' proactive development of their work roles and job-crafting activities. That is, focusing on employees' well-being can help staff to maintain managerial performance or efficiently handle risk or crisis events [48]. This study's findings suggest that the social and psychological capital of a company's top management and managers are essential elements for strengthening the company's business and risk management capabilities. The development of corporate risk management capabilities is considered to be closely related to risk managers' intrinsic qualities and characteristics. The business mindsets of middle managers, namely, their psychological and social capital, may form a foundation for the ongoing survival and existence of companies.
In the current business environment, the creation of social and psychological capital, in such forms as trust, networking, and the sharing of core values among organizational members, and personal characteristics, in such forms as self-confidence, resilience, optimism, and self-efficacy, are likely to emerge as even more important factors for the sustainable growth of companies. This study suggests that risk management that accounts for sustainability should be discussed to decrease negative environmental impacts, as well as to sustain a business while preserving the environment and society. In this sense risk management is a critical element of sustainable development.

Limitations
One limitation of this study involves the sub-factors of a company's risk-management capability. We chose to divide risk-management into technical, business, and external risk-management capabilities. However, we believe that future studies should specify additional sub-components of risk-management capability as each company or industry sector faces a unique situation. The sampling methodology presented another limitation. Although this study produced results that offer valuable insights that can be used to increase the reliability of such results in future studies, the surveys should include risk managers in diverse industrial sectors. Moreover, there is a belief that the perception of risk, performance, and dynamic relationships differ according to the company size. This study did not cover sampling issues, such as organizational size, sector, multiple locations versus a single location, previous disaster experience, tenure of risk managers, or risk managers' gender, educational level, age, etc. Future studies should also consider these issues. Furthermore, future studies that explore the relationship between risk management and demographic characteristics, as well as studies conducted in other countries, are needed.
