Previous studies related to drinking problems among Korean employees has focused on not 'drinking on the job' but 'drinking off the job'. Thus, little is known about the relationships between 'drinking on the job' and work performance among employees in Korea. The purpose of this study is to examine the relationships between alcohol use including 'drinking on the job' and 'drinking off the job' and work performance among 577 employees working at the health or welfare related agencies in N-gu of Seoul. Analyses were conducted using univariate analyses and multiple regression to examine which alcohol use factors were associated with work performance among employees. As for alcohol use, 49.3% of participants reported 'drinking on the job' in the past 30 days and 48.2% of participants reported 'drinking in a company dinner' in the past 30 days. Univariate analyses on the relationships between alcohol use including 'drinking on the job' and 'drinking off the job' and 'work performance' showed' drinking on the job' was associated with all work performance items except 'being absent' and 'being hurted' were not associated with work performance. Meanwhile, 'drinking off the job' was related to only 'did not do the job well'. Multiple regression analyses demonstrated that gender, subjective health status, service period, and 'drinking on the job'. These findings suggested that there is a need to more concerns about 'drinking on the job', especially 'drinking in a company dinner' among employees in Korea.

The purpose of this study is to present a plan to simplify the issuance of public library loan membership cards for children under the age of 14, and to devise measures to promote the convenience of using public libraries and to promote their use. To this end, related laws and systems, related services, and systems were analyzed. The issuance cases for each type were derived and analyzed by thoroughly investigating the procedure for issuing loan membership cards for children under the age of 14 in 1,211 public libraries nationwide, and focus group interviews were conducted. Based on this, the "double diamond model" was employed among service design methodologies to propose step-by-step guidelines for simplifying the procedure for issuing public library loan membership cards for children under the age of 14, as well as improving the environment, such as the roles of stakeholders, laws, and systems.

In order to infer regional flood frequency for ungauged watersheds, index flood method was applied for this study. To pursuit this given purpose, annual peak flood data for 22 watersheds located at the upstream of the Chungju Dam watershed were obtained from the spatial extension technique. The regionalization of mean annual flood was performed from extended flood data at 22 points. Based on the theory that flood discharge and watershed size follows the power law the regionalization generated the empirical relationship. These analyses were executed for the full size of the Chungju Dam watershed as one group and three different mid-size watersheds groups. From the results, the relationship between mean annual flood and watershed sizes follow the power law. We demonstrated that it is appropriate to use the relationship between specific flood discharges from the upper and lower watersheds in terms of estimating the floods for the ungaged watersheds. Therefore, not only the procedure of regional frequency analysis but also regionalizaion analaysis using finer discretization of the regions interest with respect to the regional frequency analyisis for the ungauged watersheds is important.

This study tried to investigate the relationships among the sought benefits, consumer-brand relationship and purchase experiences with regard to cosmetics, based on Scmitt (1999)'s Strategic Experiential Modules (SEM) which classified consumer's purchase experiences into five modules (sense, feel, think, act & relate) and provide strategic implications based on the results. According to the result, among the sought benefits of cosmetics, functionality had the most significant impact on purchase experience, and brand affected "sense" and "think-act-relate" experiential modules. Fashion was only found to affect "feel" module. Also, the "think-act-relate" module positively affected all components of consumer-brand relationship. And, "love and passion" component was significantly influenced by sensory experience, while "mutual commitment" and "affinity" were both affected by affective experience. In addition, gender difference was found in fashion, economy, and functionality among the sought benefits, Specifically, women showed higher score on fashion and functionality than men, while men scored higher in economy benefit than women. Also gender was a differentiating factor for "feel" and "think-act-relate" experiential modules, where women scored higher than men. Finally, In terms of causal relationships, "functionality" influenced all three experiential modules (sense, feel, think-act-relate) for both men and women. But, women showed more significant relationship between brand and sensory module, whereas men showed significant relationship between brand and think-act-relate module. At conclusion, the study provides some strategic implications that cosmetics companies need to strengthen brand relationship with consumers in order to provide them with targeted purchase experiences that fit the benefits most sought by them, which will result in competitive strengths.

본 연구의 목적은 강원도에서 실시하는 청년창업 지원사업이 창업성과에 미치는 영향을 연구하는 것이다. 강원도 지역의 경우 전국대비 상대적으로 낮은 임금, 10인 미만의 사업체와 주로 도소매 숙박업이 주를 이루는 영세한 산업구조로 인한 고용불안과 일자리 질 저하로 상대적 학력수준이 높은 일자리가 부족함에 따라 청년층의 높은 전출률을 초래하고 있다. 강원도 내 청년 일자리 문제는 생산가능인구 감소와 고령화문제로 이어지면서 이를 해결하기 위하여 강원도에서는 새로운 일자리 창출과 고용안정을 위하여 도내 청년 창업자를 발굴하고 육성하는 지원사업을 추진 중에 있다. 본 연구에서는 강원도 지역의 청년창업 지원사업을 통한 창업성과를 분석하고 청년창업자에게 유의미한 영향을 미쳤는지, 청년 일자리 창출에 상관관계를 끼쳤는지에 대하여 연구하려고 한다. 선행논문에서의 창업지원정책이 미치는 영향에 대한 연구결과에 따라 정부 창업지원사업과 창업성과간의 유의미한 관계가 있을 것이라고 예상할 수 있었고 본 연구에서는 기존의 선행연구에서 확장하여 후속지원에 대한 영향관계에 대하여 분석하고 그에 따른 시사점을 도출하고자 한다.

Recently, design has emerged as a key factor of successful product development. This study reviewed the elements of form with a view point of addressing and defining the elements of aesthetics and how they influence consumer aesthetic response. Though past researches related to form aesthetics reported that form aesthetics exist as a single element with other sub-elements, this research made further investigations into form aesthetics and reported that form aesthetics in product design can be broadly divided into form aesthetics and content aesthetics. Empirical studies on each category was undertaken and from the results obtained, it was concluded that typicality is a dominant element in content aesthetics while balance is a dominant element in form aesthetics. Also, the study investigated the effect of conditional variables such as price and people on each category and it was observed that both content and form aesthetics elements are affected by conditional variables such as price, people. Furthermore, the study reports that both content and form aesthetics elements are mutually correlated and both categories affect user's aesthetics response. It is intended that the results obtained from this work will contribute to theoretical knowledge of aesthetic elements and can be put to use by product design and manufacturing companies.
