Hacking has raised many critical issues in the modern world, particularly because the size and cost of the damages caused by this disruptive activity have steadily increased. Accordingly, many significant studies have been conducted by behavioral scientists to understand hackers and their practices. Nonetheless, only qualitative methods, such as interviews, meta-studies, and media studies, have been employed in such studies because of hacker sampling limitations. Existing studies have determined that intrinsic motivation was the dominant factor influencing hackers, and that their techniques were mainly acquired from online hacking communities. However, such results have yet to be causally proven. This study attempted to identify the causal factors influencing the motivational and environmental factors encouraging hackers to learn hacking skills. To this end, hacker community members using the theory of planned behavior were observed to identify the causal factors of their learning of hacking skills. We selected a group of students who were developing their hacking skills. The survey was conducted over a two-week period in May 2015 with a total of 227 students as respondents. After list-wise deletion, 215 of the responses were deemed usable (94.7 percent). In summary, the hackers were aware that hacking skills are considered socially unethical, and their attitudes toward the learning of hacking skills were affected by both intrinsic and extrinsic motivations. In addition, the characteristics of the online hacking community affected their perceived behavioral control. This study introduced new concepts in the process of conducting a causal relationship analysis on a hacker sample. Moreover, this research expanded the discussion on the causal direction of subjective norms in unethical research, and empirically confirmed that both intrinsic and extrinsic motivations affect the learning of hacking skills. This study also made a practical contribution by raising the educational and policy response issues for ethical hackers and demonstrating the necessity to intensify the punishment for hacking.

The object of this study is to determine and prioritize the factors that affect job satisfaction and job continuity intention of an important media content provider group - TV/radio announcers. In this study, the determinant factors are classified as "internal" factors (i.e. career motivation and identity as a member of an organization) and "external" factors such as reputation and prestige. A survey was conducted among active announcers in Korea, and 106 responded. The data was processed by multiple regression analysis. The result showed that organizational identity affected the job satisfaction and job continuity intention most, and perceived external prestige affected least. In conclusion, announcer's job satisfaction and job continuity intention have more meaningful relationship with internal factors than with external factors.

Introductory programming course using robots that makes good effect to learners. I investigated that the effects on flow at using robots of introductory programming course. According to experiment result, the flow level showed significant change and all of it's element(antecedents, experiences, effects) had changed significantly. This result means that using robots of introductory programming course makes effect that is very positive in flow level of learners. There was strong interrelation by each element of flow in the result of correlation analysis about flow element. In particular, interrelation of antecedents element and experience element was high. Therefore, using robot is precondition of flow, and the level of experience element is high according to level of antecedents, and also experience element elevate the learner's intrinsic satisfaction. The conclusion is that using robots of introductory programming course is helpful enhancing learner's flow level and is positive in study achievements.

성과급제도(成果給制度)란 개인(個人) 혹은 집단(集團)의 경제적(經濟的) 성과지표(成果指標)를 임금보상(賃金報償)의 추가적인 근거로 사용하는 제도(制度)를 말한다. 본고(本稿)에서는 성과급제도(成果給制度)의 한 종류인 이윤공유제도(利潤共有制度)의 경제적(經濟的) 의미(意味)를 검토하였다. 이윤공유제도(利潤共有制度)는 기업입장(企業立場)에서 보면 이윤(利潤)에 대해 일정률의 조세(租稅)를 납부한 후, 근로자(勤勞者)를 고용(雇傭)할 때마다 일정액의 보조금(補助金)을 받는 제도이다. 한편 근로자(勤勞者)의 입장에서 보면 최초에 고정급(固定給)을 낮게 유지해서 얻은 경영성과(經營成果)의 일부를 다른 근로자(勤勞者)들과 골고루 나누어 가지는 제도이다. 이런 본질적인 특성은 경제(經濟)에 긍정적인 효과와 부정적인 효과를 동시에 미친다. 우선 긍정적인 측면으로는 기업입장에서 노동(勞動)의 한계효용(限界效用)이 상대적으로 저렴해지므로 경제(經濟)의 물가수준(物價水準)은 하락하고 생산량(生産量)은 증가하게 된다. 그러나 이에 따르는 문제점도 과소평가할 수만은 없다. 우선 저렴한 한계노동비용(限界勞動費用) 때문에 이윤공유경제(利潤共有經濟)에서는 본질적으로 초과고용경향(超過雇傭傾向)이 내재하여 있으며, 또한 어느 한 개인의 노력에 의한 성과(成果)의 향상(向上)이 모두에게 분배되어 희석되므로 원래 의도되었던 동기유발효과(動機誘發效果)가 위축될 가능성이 있다. 또한 임금소득(賃金所得)이 변동(變動)하므로 위험기피적(危險忌避的)인 근로자(勤勞者)의 효용(效用)이 위협을 받게 된다. 이런 여러 문제점을 극복하고 성과급(成果給)의 원래 긍정적인 측면을 실현시키기 위해서는 근로자(勤勞者)의 경영참가(經營參加)가 보장되고, 이윤공유제(利潤共有制)의 채택에 대해 세제상(稅制上)의 유인(誘引)이 뒷받침되어야 하며, 정부(政府)의 경제안정화정책(經濟安定化政策)이 더욱 주의깊게 추구되어야 한다.

본 연구에서는 교차로의 비용 및 특성을 고려한 도로선형최적화 모형을 유전자 알고리즘(Genetic Algorithms)을 이용하여 개발하였다. 기존의 도로선형최적화 모형은 교차로 특성을 고려하지 못해서 실제 적용에 심대한 문제점을 내재하고 있다. 본 논문에서는 특정 도로선형에 교차로 건설의 필요가 있을 경우, 민감(Sensitive)하고 지배적인(Dominating) 교차로 비용 항목들 즉, 토공비용, 보상비, 포장비, 사고비용, 지체 및 연료소모비용 등의 산정이 시도되었다. 또한 비교적 우수한 도로선형 대안을 유전자 알고리즘을 이용한 탐색과정 중에서 비효율적으로 강제 퇴화시키는 단점 보완을 위한 교차로 국소 최적화 방법(Local Optimization of Intersections)이 개발되어 기존 모형을 보완하였다. 공간상의 도로선형은 매개변수적 묘사(Parametric Representation)를 통하여 구현하였으며 벡터운영(Vector Manipulation)을 통해 교차로비용 산정의 근간인 교차점과 다른 중요점들의 좌표를 찾을 수 있었다. 개발된 교차로 비용산정 모형이 보다 정밀하게 교차로 비용을 산정함이 증명되었으며 궁극적으로는 기존의 최적화 모형의 단점을 보완할 수 있음이 제시되었다. 또한, 새로이 제시된 교차로 국소 최적화 방법이 최적대안 탐색과정의 유연성을 증대하였으며, 결과적으로 효율적인 교차로의 유지에 기여함을 알 수 있었다. 제시된 교차로 국소 최적화 방법은 추후 단일노선이 아닌 도로망 최적화시의 기초를 제시함은 주목할 만 하다. 두개의 예제에서 도출된 최적노선 및 교차로 비용 등의 검토 결과, 도로상의 교차로 건설비용은 도로선형 최적화에 큰 영향을 미치는 실질적이며 민감한 비용 항목임이 검증되었으며 이는 도로선형최적화 모형이 교차로 비용을 반드시 검토 및 평가할 수 있어야 함을 반증한다.

Purpose - This study examined the effects of intrinsic and extrinsic motivation on employee creativity. Past research has consistently shown that intrinsic motivation is positively related to creativity. Yet conflicting results have been reported about the relationship between extrinsic motivation and creativity. To explore the reason why extrinsic motivation can either help or hurt creativity, we examined the role of contingent rewards as a moderator and tested whether either tangible or intangible rewards contingent upon creative performance significantly impact the relationship between extrinsic motivation and creativity. Research design, data, and methodology - Survey data was collected from employees working for diverse organizations in Korea through online research firm. Only employees who reported their job or organization provided opportunities to use their creativity were allowed to continue the survey. Out of 305 initial responses collected, those with too much missing data were deleted, which finally left 278 responses for statistical analyses. To examine the validity of the measurements, confirmatory factor analysis was first conducted. Next, to test the hypothesized relationships, multiple hierarchical regression analyses were conducted. Results - As hypothesized, both intrinsic and extrinsic motivation had positive effects on creativity. It was shown that contingent rewards did not influence the positive relationship between intrinsic motivation and creativity, but did significantly moderate the relationship between extrinsic motivation and creativity in a way that tangible rewards strengthened the relationship while intangible rewards mitigated the same relationship. Conclusions - This research enhances our understanding on the relationship between motivation type, rewards, and creativity. Intrinsically motivated employees showed a high level of creativity regardless of whether rewards were expected or not. In contrast, extrinsically motivated employees showed more or less creative behavior depending on whether they were expected to have tangible or intangible rewards. As extrinsic motivation is typically associated with tangible rewards such as pay, promotion, etc., tangible rewards were seen to be more effective in promoting creative performance from extrinsically motivated employees than intangible rewards. Our findings make a significant theoretical contribution to reconcile prior inconsistent findings. Furthermore, they provide useful insights for managers and organizations into developing effective strategies for facilitating employee creativity.

This paper proposes a novel current control strategy on active power filters using PQR instantaneous power theory which can compensate the line current harmonics and the neutral line current under the unbalanced and/or distorted source conditions in three-phase four-wire systems. The characteristics of the inverter ac filters are analyzed and a novel digital controller are proposed to overcome the inherent time delay problem in digital controllers with designed control gain in this paper. The proposed current control method is based on a sinusoidal PWM for fully-digital implementation compared with a conventional hysteresis PWM. PSiM simulation results verify the good performance of the proposed current control strategy on shunt type APFs.

A novel switching differentiator-based backstepping controller for uncertain pure-feedback nonlinear systems is proposed. Using asymptotically convergent switching differentiator, time-derivatives of the virtual controls are directly estimated in every backstepping design steps. As a result, the control law has an extremely simple form and asymptotical stability of the tracking error is guaranteed regardless of parametric or unstructured uncertainties and unmatched disturbances in the considered system. It is required no universal approximators such as neural networks or fuzzy logic systems that are adaptively tuned online to cope with system uncertainties. Simulation results show the simplicity and performance of the proposed controller.

This paper analyzed the effect of attribution of career success on the occupational adaptation of college graduates, with the Korean Education Employment Panel (KEEP) data. The analysis results are as follows: First, there was a significant difference in self-efficacy and occupational adaptation according to attribution. Workplace satisfaction was the highest when attributing of effort for career success, and effort attribution also was the most influential in job satisfaction and self-efficacy. On the other hand, workplace satisfaction, job satisfaction, and self-efficacy level were the lowest in fortune attribution, indicating that fortune attribution has a negative effect on the on the occupational adaptation. Second, as in the mediating effect of the relationship between attribution of career success and occupational adaptation by Sobel-test, it was found that there was a mediating effect of self-efficacy. The results of this study shows that the more new employees perceive their career success to depend on their own efforts, the more they believe they can successfully accomplish their duties, and can adapt with more effort and patience in the face of stress. These results imply that it is possible to increase occupational adaptation by providing intrinsic and extrinsic rewards for new employees to have an effort attribution to career success.

Animal models can provide a useful tool for the study of some aspects of psychiatric disorders and their treatment. The four criteria for the evaluation of animal models of psychiatric disorders are as following : 1) similarity of inducing conditions 2) similarity of behavioral state 3) common underlying neurobiological mechanisms 4) reversal by clinically effective treatment techniques. Several animal models have been proposed for schizophrenia : phenylethylamine model, L-dopa model, hallucinogen model, cocaine model, amphetamine model, phencyclidine model, noradrenergic reward system lesion model, reticular stimulation model, social isolation model, conditioned avoidance reaction, catalepsy test, paw test, self-stimulation paradigms, latent inhibition paradigms, blocking paradigms, prepulse inhibition of the startle reflex, rodent interaction, social behavior in monkeys, hippocampal damage, high ambient pressure, and models using selective breeding. Among them, animals with bilateral lesion of the hippocampus may provide an adequate animal model for several symptoms of schizophrenia, and ketamine model can reproduce negative symptoms and cognitive deficits as well as positive symptoms of schizophrenia. In conclusion, no model of schizophrenia is entirely representative of the disease, and findings gleaned from model systems must be cautiously interpreted. Furthermore, the process of developing and validating animal models must work in concert with the process to identify reliable measures of human phenomenology.
