The study aims were to verify the influences of job environment factors and work attitude on turnover intention of school foodservice employees, and then to verify the mediating effect of organization commitment between six areas of worklife and turnover intention so that organizations can intervene to reduce the turnover intentions of employees. The subjects were 205 employees who were working in the school foodservice field. The job environment factors were measured by six areas of worklife (workload, control, reward, fairness, community, value) and the organizational commitment was measured by two types of commitments (affective, continuance). The results were as follows. First, workload, reward, community and value of six areas of worklife reduced affective commitment, control and fairness increased continuance commitment, and affective commitment reduced turnover intention. Second, only reward and community showed direct effect on turnover intention, but all six areas of worklife had a statistically significant indirect effect on turnover intention through affective commitment. These results showed that job environment factors had both direct and indirect effect on employees' behavior through employees' affection. These findings imply that organizations can control employees' turnover intention by providing education or social support to maintain their affective commitment even when organizations cannot change job environment.

The purpose of this study was to examine the influential factors of the marital satisfaction of Korean couples and international couples and the impact of related variables involving marital equity and marital conflicts on marital satisfaction in a bid to give some suggestions on how to keep on leading a happy married life. A survey was conducted from July to September, 2010, and the answer sheets from 79 Korean couples and 79 international couples who numbered 316 were analyzed except for the incomplete answer sheets. The women of the international couples got the best mean scores. When the men and women of the international couples were compared, the women scored significantly higher than the men, which showed that the former group found themselves to put more investment in their marital relationship. Concerning ways of coping with marital conflicts in the groups, conflict intervention by oneself was most prevalent among the men of the international couples and least among the women of the Korean couples. Regarding sex-role attitude and communication, there were no significant differences in sex-role attitude. As to marital satisfaction, the men of the Korean couples got the highest mean scores, and the women of the international couples scored lowest. When the correlation analysis was conducted, the variable that had the closest correlation to marital satisfaction overall was positive problem solving by the spouse(.469), followed by conflict intervention by the spouse(-.453), positive problem solving by oneself(.451), the academic credential of the spouse(.443) and one's own retreat from conflict(-.409). As a result of making the regression analysis to find out which variables affected marital satisfaction, the most predictable variable was communication scores, followed by conflict intervention by the spouse, positive problem solving by oneself, one's own retreat from conflict, the academic credential of the spouse and psychoemotional equity.

휴대폰 산업의 발전과 더불어 발전해온 휴대폰 서비스는 최근 단순한 정보 제공을 넘어 생활에 중요한 도구로 활용되는 모습을 보인다. 최근 등장하는 휴대폰 서비스는 종류가 다양하고 최신 휴대폰과 결합되어 복잡해져 사용자로 하여금 필요한 서비스를 선택하여 조작하는 것까지 전반적인 사용 과정의 어려움을 가져왔다. 더군다나 휴대폰 서비스는 무형의 상품이기 때문에 직접 조작해보지 못하고 사용해야 하며, 이것은 사람들로 하여금 불안감을 갖도록 한다. 따라서, 본 연구에서는 휴대폰 서비스에 대한 불안감을 줄이고 사용을 확장시키는 방법으로 서비스를 직접 만지고 조작해볼 수 있는 사전 체험을 제안하며, 이를 위한 도구로 웹사이트를 활용하는 방안을 제안한다. 웹사이트는 상호작용적인 매체로써 자연스럽게 사용자가 참여하고 개입하도록 유도하는 매체이며, 다양한 시각적, 청각적 미디어를 활용할 수 있어 감각적 체험을 제공하는데 유리하다. 또한 다른 매체와 비교해 웹사이트는 공간적, 시간적 제약이 적어 많은 사람들이 원하는 시간에 접근하도록 한다. 또한 이성과 감성적인 정보를 통합적으로 처리하는 인간의 특성을 고려해 볼 때, 정보와 재미를 함께 제공할 수 있는 웹사이트의 특성은 효과적이라 볼 수 있다. 마케팅 측면에서 보더라도 저렴한 비용으로 많은 사람들에게 정보를 전달할 수 있고, 사용자들의 행동을 측정해 데이터베이스화 한 후 후에 활용할 수 있다. 이러한 점들을 통합해보면 웹사이트는 휴대폰 서비스를 체험해보도록 하는 공간으로 적합하다고 볼 수 있다. 웹사이트에서 가상 체험을 효과적으로 활용하기 위해서 사용자들의 체험 과정에 어떠한 요인이 영향을 미치는지 알 필요가 있다. 이를 위해 본 연구에서는 현재 휴대폰 서비스 체험 사이트들의 체험 제공 방식을 분석해 유형을 나눈 후에 사용자 조사를 통해 사용자들에게 선호되는 방식과 체험 과정에 영향을 미친 요인을 고찰한다. 그리고 최종적으로 이러한 요인이 실제 휴대폰 서비스에 대한 호감과 어떤 관계를 갖는지 알아본다. 본 연구에서는 이를 위해 최근 가장 높은 이용률을 보이고 있는 20,30대 휴대폰 서비스 사용자 100명을 대상으로 2005년 10월 20일~30일에 설문조사와 간단한 인터뷰를 실시하여 선호 유형과 체험에 영향을 미치는 요인을 도출하였으며, 서비스 호감과의 관계를 알기 위해 이 중 가장 관여도가 높았던 17명을 대상으로 2005년 11월 10일~15일에 심층 인터뷰를 실시하였다. 사용자 조사 결과, 분류된 유형 중 체험방식에서는 개입의 정도가 클수록, 사용상황 안내방식에서는 가상공간과 메뉴로 제공하는 방식을, 사용방법 안내형식에서는 휴대폰 전체 이미지를, 마지막으로 표현형식에서는 일러스트레이션과 영상을 가장 선호하는 것으로 나타났다. 체험에 영향을 미치는 요인은 체험적 측면,정보제공 측면,웹사이트의 측면으로 구분되었으며 휴대폰 서비스의 호감과의 관계에서는 체험적 측면과 정보제공 측면은 서비스에 대한 호감과 깊은 관계를 갖고 있는 것으로 나타난 반면에 웹사이트의 측면은 서비스와 직접적인 관련을 짓지 않는 것으로 나타났다.

Older adults in the hospice care experience difficulties in expressing their emotional and psychological issues, which has detrimental effect in their well-being. The purpose of this study is to examine how music can be used to facilitate self-expression both verbally and nonverbally in order to decrease negative influences of self-concealment. Four cases were referred from hospice personnel at the hospital, and received music therapy sessions for four month. The total number of session varied from 9 to 11 depending on the conditions of each case. Both qualitative and quantitative data were collected from pre and post test of Self-Concealment Scale and Personal Descriptive Essays. The results indicated that the use of music, especially programed songs were effective in evoking emotional responses with various life-related issues and themes. The posttest indicated that the level of self-concealment has decreased, and also the Personal Descriptive Essays involved increased statements of emotional content after music therapy implementation. The study indicates that music can be used as an significant communicative and expressive medium when working with older adults in the hospice or palliative care, since they experience many difficulties to be engaged in the active expression. Music provide both passive and active experience through listening and participating, and programed music therapy intervention will increase the quality of life through expressive music activities.

While many social work studies has focused on the development of practice intervention and demonstration of the efficacy, little attention has been given to the way how the results can be disseminated and utilized in practice area. But attempts to bridge the research-practice gap empathize importance of dissemination and utilization including knowledge utilization, innovation diffusion, information dissemination, program replication, and technology transfer etc. In this recognition, this study that focused on the process after development of program tried to search and analyze the real disseminating process and utilization state with applying Growing-up Skills Program(GUSP) developed and disseminated by this researcher. For the purpose, theories and models for program diffusion were reviewed, and dissemination & utilization of GUSP was analyzed on the 'Herie & Martin's model' with retrospective perspectives. Through this tracer study, these were confirmed or founded as problems of GUSP in disseminating process : lack of specific strategy for the dissemination ; unplanned coping due to little preparation ; and unclear and insufficient understanding of the target system in the beginning stage of dissemination. And followings are suggested for the improvement of social work program dissemination & utilization in the field: to conduct diffusion process on the basis of a proper model; to consider integrative relationship between D&D and dissemination & utilization ; to endeavor for collecting feed back from the field ; and to reinforce social work education and study related to innovation diffusion. These results showed importance of dissemination & utilization in social work and utility of GUSP despite of several limitations. More concerns of dissemination & utilization are needed for the integration of research and practice in Korean social work.

This study investigates the behavioral characteristic difference of the container volumes of three ports-Gwangyang, Incheon, and Pyeongtaek-Dangjin. All series span the period January 2003 to December 2011. I first test whether the series are stationary or not. I can reject the null hypothesis of a unit root in each of the level variables and of a unit root for the residuals from the cointegration at the 5 percent significance level. I hitherto make use of error-correction model and find that Gwangyang port is the slowest in adjusting the short-run disequilibrium, whereas the adjustment speed of Incheon is much faster than that of Gwangyang. The impulse response functions indicate that container volumes increase only a little to the negative shocks in exchange rate, while they respond positively to the shocks in the business activity in a great magnitude and decay very slowly to its pre-shock level. meaning that the shocks last very long. The accumulative response to the exchange rate increase of 20 won per dollar and the 5 point industrial production increase is the smallest in Gwangyang, no more than a half of that of two ports. The intervention-ARIMA models also forecast that Gwangyang port will have much lower growth rate than Incheon and Pyeongtaek-Dangjin port in trading volumes.

The purpose of this study is to test the effect of pedagogical agent realism and expertise on persona effect. There were two perspectives of the pedagogical agents' social interaction. Self-identification hypothesis argues that complexity of agent image is better to increase social interaction. Subjective identification insists that simplified image is more helpful to facilitate social interaction. However, from the cognitive load theory perspective, learners' expertise can be a major factor to determine persona effect. Sixty-eight college students (male=19 and female=49) participated. The independent variables were the degree of realism of pedagogical agent (detailed vs. simplified image) and the expertise (high prior knowledge group vs. low prior knowledge group). The dependant variables were comprehension test and the agent persona instrument (API). There was no significant difference in comprehension test score; however, there were significant interaction effect on the most constructs of API: 1) facilitating of learning, 2) credible, and 3) human-like. The follow-up analysis of simple main effect revealed that high expertise group showed significantly higher perception of the three construct with high realism of pedagogical agent. The results of study show that learners' expertise plays a key role of perception of persona effect.

This paper explores the life cycle of innovation cluster, especially focussing on the Korean representative innovation cluster, Daedeok Innopolis. For this purpose, we review theoretically how an innovation cluster has been growing up. In particular, we discuss how a cluster has been formed and activated by governmental innovation policies from an evolutionary perspective. By doing so, the study identifies the typical features of an innovation cluster according to each dimensions of the cluster life cycle. The results of this study are as follows: First, in this study, Daedeok Innopolis has characteristics of latency, emergence, growth, and maturity from evolutionary perspective. Second, the governmental structure of the Daedeok Innopolis is a strong government-led and top-down structure, which has features of inclusiveness and flexibility such as umbrella policy. Third, the Daedeok Innopolis can be seen that adaptive or renewal development, as while, it can be applied fine adjustment the innovation cluster policy towards the recognition of innovation obstacle at each dimensions of the life cycle. Therefore, these discussions expose what kind of policy interventions should be addressed to form and develop the innovation cluster according to the cluster life cycle, as while, the development of adaptive policies during the risk and take-off period. Ultimately, the study provides that a different kind of policy instruments and tools should be implemented according to innovation cluster development and its distinctive characteristic per each dimensions of the cluster life cycle.
