This study investigated the effects of childcare teachers' role conflict and self leadership on psychological welfare. 64 day care centers located in Seoul and Gyeonggi-do were selected as its subjects and correlations and multiple regression analysis were conducted for 260 childcare teachers from the day care centers. The results of this study were as below. First, in terms of the relationships between childcare teachers' role conflict, self-leadership and psychological welfare, it has been shown that correlations of role stress, role ambiguity, action orientedness, constructive thought, and positive welfare were found in all sub-areas except for the sub-variables of natural reward and negative welfare, whereas correlations of role ambiguity, action orientedness, positive welfare were found also in all sub-areas except for the same sub-variables above. Second, after conducting multiple regression analysis, it has been noted that the variables that affected psychological welfare the most were natural reward followed by role ambiguity and role stress, whereas no statistical significance was found in all other sub-variables.

This study focuses on adolescent prosocial behavior as one of the necessary elements for youth to grow as a healthy member of the society. The purpose of this study is to examine the effects of peer group on adolescent prosocial behavior by comparing the peer influence model and the individual characteristics model. For the study, we conducted hierarchical multiple regression analyses using the data from the Korean Youth General Survey 2008, administered by the Ministry of Health and Welfare. Results show that friends' prosocial behavior had a positive impact, but friends' antisocial behavior had a negative impact on adolescent prosocial behavior. When individual characteristics including self-esteem and empathy were analyzed simultaneously, empathy, self-esteem, friends' prosocial behavior, and friends' antisocial behavior were found to be statistically significant. The strength of association between individual characteristics and adolescent prosocial behavior was greater than that of friends' behaviors. Also, significant moderating effects of individual characteristics on the relationships between adolescent prosocial behavior and friends' behaviors were found. For example, the positive effect of friends' prosocial behavior on adolescent prosocial behavior increased as adolescent's level of self-esteem increased. On the other hand, the negative effect of friends' antisocial behavior on adolescent prosocial behavior decreased as adolescent's level of empathy increased. Based on the findings, both the peer influence model and the individual characteristics model were considered valid in explaining prosocial behavior of Korean adolescents. Finally, implications of this study for positive youth development were discussed.

Individual donors that are the social and financial base of organization finance are divided into prospect, current donors and lapsed donors. This study might be the first efforts in Korea, to reveal the characteristics and behavior of lapsed donors. We found that major reasons of giving lapse were financial inabilities and interest of other cause. However, many lapsed donors didn't give any more but moved to another nonprofit organization for donation. Moreover, their trust of ex-nonprofit organization has effected their decision to donate to other nonprofit organizations again or not. Therefore, donor services that improve donors' trust is important to maintain nonprofit sector' donor basis.

Strong association between authentic leadership perception and costomer oreintation was identified from structural equation model, where job engagement plays significant intermediating role. In conclusion, positive perception toward leadership characteristic influence the job performance through desirable attitude formulation.

2000년대 들어 상담에 대한 관심과 상담 수요가 크게 늘어가고 있는 상황에서 상대적으로 직무 특성상 상담자들 또한 심리적인 어려움들을 느끼면서 상담자 스스로 자신의 정신 건강 및 유지를 위한 자기돌봄의 중요성이 증가하고 있는 것이 사실이다. 상담자는 많은 시간을 내담자와의 직접적인 대면을 통해서 내담자의 다양한 문제에 대한 해결과 도움을 제공해 줌에 있어 지속적인 치료 과정을 함께한다. 상담자는 내담자와의 상황 대면을 통한 치료 과정을 함께하면서 치료의 긍정적인 면을 접하기도 하지만, 한편으로는 지속적인 스트레스로 인해 심리적 소진과 다양한 정서적 피로도를 경험하게 된다. 이에 다양한 심리적·정서적 소진과 피로도에 대해 적절하고 유연하게 대처하기 위해서는 상담자 스스로 자신을 보호할 수 있는 자기돌봄이 필요하며, 상담자 자신이 어떠한 상황에서도 긍정적인 마음을 유지 할 수 있는 자기효능감을 향상시키는 것이 중요하다. 본 연구는 마음 챙김에 기반한 MBSR 프로그램이 다양한 상담 현장에서 심리적 소진을 겪고 있는 상담자들의 심리적 안녕감, 특히 상담자의 자기돌봄 및 자기효능감에 어떠한 영향을 미치는지 확인하고자 하였다. 이를 위해 실제 현장에서 활동하고 있는 상담경력 1년에서 5년 미만의 상담자 40명을 대상으로 주 1회기, 회기 당 2시간의 총 12주간의 MBSR 프로그램을 통한 상담자의 자기돌봄 및 효능감의 변화가 상담자의 심리적 안녕감에 긍정적 요인으로 적용될 수 있다는 것을 확인하여 실제 상담 현장에서의 상담자들이 겪고 있는 심리적 소진의 완화를 통한 안정적인 상담 현장이 조성될 수 있도록 기여하고자 한다.

Using survey on 865 college students, this study examines college students' perceptions on older generations in Korea. College students do not perceive conflicts with the elderly severely. While they recognize that the elderly contributed to family care and economic growth, they perceive that intergenerational conflicts regarding redistribution across generations might be impending in the areas of welfare policies. Progressive students evaluate contributions of the elderly more positively and approve expanding the roles of governments in the areas of welfare policies for the elderly than do conservative students. Students with higher interests in politics also positively assess the contributions of the elderly and are more concerned with the financial sustainability of welfare policies for the elderly. However, they perceive that the possibility of intergenerational conflicts might be low. This study suggests programs to increase intergenerational cooperation between college students and the elderly.

The purpose of this study is to examined the relationship between social support, self-rated health status and life satisfaction among elderlies with chronic disease. For this study, 228 respondents suffered from chronic diseases and 75 healthy elderlies aged over 65 were analyzed. For the data analysis, a structural equation analysis and multi-group analysis were performed. As a result, higher levels of social support for elderlies with chronic diseases showed a higher level of life satisfaction, and the self-rated health status was found to be a significant mediator. The social support of the elderlies with chronic diseases significantly impacted their self-rated health status differently on healthy elderlies. To improve the self-rated health status and life satisfaction of elderlies with chronic disease, social services should be offered with social support providers. This study is meaningful in suggesting selective implications for elderlies with chronic disease.
