Purpose: This study attempted to recommend a revision of inpatient nursing fees based on analyzing current and appropriate staffing levels. Methods: Staffing grades and their inpatient nursing fees as of the first quarter of 2022 were analyzed. Nurse managers and staff nurses answered surveys about the current and appropriate staffing levels, working days, and monthly salary. A total of 101 nurse managers and 588 staff nurses working in general wards at tertiary hospitals and general hospitals participated in the study. Results: The results showed that grade 1 staffing was found in 73.3% of tertiary hospitals and 63.7% of general hospitals. The current staffing ratios of tertiary hospitals and general hospitals were 1:9.3 and 1:10.4, respectively. The appropriate staffing ratios according to nurse managers and staff nurses at tertiary hospitals were 1:7.6 and 1:7.0, respectively, and 1:8.7 and 1:8.8 in general hospitals, respectively. The average estimated annual working days of staff nurses were 235.2 days in tertiary hospitals and 240.0 days in general hospitals. The median monthly salary for staff nurses was 4.957 million won in tertiary hospitals and 4.140 million won in general hospitals. The new staffing grade system was suggested from 1:6 (Grade 1) to 1:12 (Grade 5). The new inpatient nursing fee schedules were recommended to be paid based on nursing hours per patient day of each grade.

This study explored a structural model that predicted the influencing factors of GRIT and job crafting on the organizational effectiveness of organizational commitment and job satisfaction of medical center employees and verified the relationship between them. This study was conducted on 450 subjects, including doctors, nurses, administrative staff, and technical health service staff working at a university-affiliated hospital, from June 1, 2020 to June 15, 2020, and collected data were analyzed using SPSS 26.0 and AMOS 26.0. The results of this study showed that the higher the GRIT, the more active the job crafting(β=.751, p<.001), which appeared to have a positive effect on organizational commitment (β=.297, p=.005) and job satisfaction(β=.353, p<.001). Although the GRIT of medical center employees did not show a direct effect on organizational commitment and job satisfaction, indicators of organizational effectiveness and employees' job crafting thoroughly played an intermediary role in the relationship between GRIT and organizational effectiveness. These results are expected to be utilized as useful information in developing measures for human resources management of medical center employees.

This study aimed at (a) examining the effects of teamwork, demonstrating with other nurses at a care unit on nurses' job satisfaction and self-efficacy, and (b) identifying if there is the mediating effect of self-efficacy on the relationship between teamwork and job satisfaction at a hospital. A descriptive study was conducted with a sample of 304 nurses, who were caring for patients with more than one nurse at a university hospital located in Southern area of Korea. The degree of teamwork demonstraing by registered nurses was 3.78(${\pm}0.59$) in the range from 1 to 5. Teamwork at caring units affected significantly nurses' job satisfaction(F=58.26, p<.001), and explained 42.80% in the variance of job satisfaction. The degree of self-efficacy that nurses perceived played as a mediator on the relationship between teamwork and job satisfaction at significant level(Z=5.25, p<.001).

This is a convergence study to provide an effective way of managing nurses' job stress by improving nurse satisfaction through an integrated identification of the effect satisfaction level on job stress for nurses using an electronic medical record(EMR) system. The data were collected from August 1 to September 1, 2014. The participants were 377 nurses from C university hospital of G metropolitan city were analyzed using SPSS 21.0. The result shows that job stress decreases as nurses' satisfaction level of using the EMR system increases. Thus, a practical job stress mediation program should be developed to continuously enhance nurses' satisfaction with the EMR system, which is expected to shorten the nursing record writing time and improve the quality of nursing service for patients. Furthermore, to improve the satisfaction with the EMR, appropriate management, such as continuous nursing education on the EMR system, will be needed.

The current study examined which leadership styles of nurse managers affect teamwork among nurses. The analytic sample consisted of 187 clinical or charge nurses, who were recruited from one university affiliated large hospital in Korea. The results from the multiple regression analysis showed that higher nurse managers' transformational, servant, and ethical leaderships were significantly associated with higher teamwork among nurses. Yet, nurse managers' transactional leadership was not related to teamwork among nurses. These findings indicate that it is effective for nurse managers to display transformational, servant, and ethical leadership rather than transactional leadership in order to enhance teamwork among nurses. This study suggests the needs to address not only transformational leadership but also servant and ethical leadership during leadership education for nurse managers.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of University hospital nurses' self-efficacy and job performance on job satisfaction. The subjects of this study were 130 nurses working at a university hospital in C city and collected data using structured questionnaires. The collected data were analyzed using mean, standard deviation, t-test, ANOVA, Pearson's correlation and multiple regression analysis using spss 25.0. The results showed that the self-efficacy was 3.24 points for the average score, 2.74 points for the job performance, and 3.10 points for the job satisfaction. Self-efficacy, job performance, and job satisfaction were statistically correlated. The factors affecting job satisfaction were self-efficacy (${\beta}=.39$, p<.001), age at 30~34 years (${\beta}=-.27$, p=.001), Operating Room(${\beta}=-.17$, p=.029), Medical ward (${\beta}=-.17$, p=.025) and unmarried (${\beta}=-.20$, p=.012) and the explanatory power of the model was 30.4%. Based on the results of this study, it is necessary to develop a program to improve the job satisfaction considering the self-efficacy, age, working department of hospital nurse.

Methods: This study was a qualitative study using individual in-depth interviews, and data were collected from 10 nurses in a university hospital temporarily closed from May 1 to June 13, 2020. Results: As a result of this study, the subjects were classified into 'COVID-19 and nursing', 'nursing work and vocation' and 'life changed with COVID-19'. Conclusion: In conclusion, there is a need for education that nurtures the ability of nurses to screen patients with infectious diseases well and to skillfully wear and remove protective clothing. In addition, in order to cultivate the expertise of nurses and respond efficiently to infectious diseases, a separate compensation, such as a risk allowance, is required along with the establishment of an infrastructure that fully supports personnel and supplies.

서비스는 기본적으로 고객과 서비스공급자간의 상호작용을 필요로 한다. 이때 서비스 공급자 구체적으로 종업원들이 자신의 직무에서 느낀 것들이 서비스 조우시 그대로 고객에게 전달되게 된다. 즉, 기업의 최종 지향점인 고객만족을 위해 내부 고객인 종업원의 만족이 필수적이라 할 수 있는데, 본 연구에서는 내부고객을 대상으로 한 내부마케팅 구체적으로 내부고객에게 제공되는 서비스품질의 내용을 알아보기 위해 선행연구에 대한 포괄적인 검토를 통해 이를 파악하고, 종업원만족이나 고객만족 등의 후행변수에 어떠한 영향을 미치는지를 알아보고자 하였다. 이를 위해 병원에 근무하는 간호사들을 대상으로 실증분석을 실시하였고, 연구결과 내부고객에게 제공되는 내부서비스품질이 높을수록 종업원만족이 상승함을 발견하였다.
