The purpose of this study was to compare service quality between local and global coffee brand shops and to investigate improvement. Of 350 questionnaires distributed to customers of six brand coffee shops (three local brands, three global brands) located in Daejeon, 330 complete questionnaires (94.3%) were analyzed. The questionnaire included a seven-point multiple-item scale for measuring service quality. The 21 items measuring service quality were grouped into four factors, and the mean scores for the levels of "representativeness", "coffee sensory and beverage features", "employee attitude" and "physical environment" were 5.42, 4.77, 4.74, and 4.13, respectively. The levels of "coffee sensory and beverage features" and "employee attitude" of the high income customers were significantly lower than those of the low income customers. The results showed that the levels of "employee attitude" of local coffee brand shops was significantly higher (p=0.050) than that of global coffee brand shops. Whereas, the levels of "representativeness" of global coffee brand shops was significantly higher (p=0.003) than that of local coffee brand shops. Based on the results, the global coffee brand shops should pay attention to internal marketing and the local coffee brand shops must strive to improve service quality through strategies such as improving brand awareness and developing representative beverages and foods.

According to resource based view, knowledge is regarded as a salient factor to improve an organization's efficiency in the current fast-changing business environment. Knowledge management (KM) may encourage employees to share and exchange knowledge in the organization in order to improve and sustain a competitive advantage over other companies. The proposed research model examines the impacts of KM performances' antecedents on an employee's absorptive capacity. This study identifies KM performances as employee's satisfaction about KM and shared knowledge quality. This study considers KM performances as the major determinants that enhance his/her absorptive capacity. This study also investigates the key antecedents of KM performances. The research model posits extrinsic reward, intrinsic reward, and relational reward as the KM performances' antecedents. Furthermore, this study examines the difference of the antecedents' effects in terms of firm's type. The proposed research model was tested by using survey data collected from 1,103 employees of 2 public enterprises and 907 employees of 5 private enterprises. The findings of this study showed that employee's satisfaction about KM and shared knowledge quality play a significant role in enhancing employee' absorptive capacity. Extrinsic reward only significantly influences employee's satisfaction about KM, whereas both intrinsic and relational rewards serve as the salient antecedents of improving both KM performances. The results also shed light on the moderating role of firm's type. Theoretical and practical implications of this study are discussed.

Local government takes an active role in the (re)making of local socio-economic space. To support such an argument, the three different actions by the local government of Taegu, urban planning and local industrial districts, the establishment of special educational institutions, and textile festival are analyzed. The division of the city's space into residential, commercial, and industrial area by local government constrained the location of local manufacturing industries. It also forced textile industry to move to the outskirts of Taegu. As the education level in South Korea rose after the late 1970s, the local government of Taegu as well as local industrial capitalists had to do something to acquire a stable supply of labor to local manufacturing industries, particularly textile one. After the late 1970s, the special classes for the education of local workers, especially textile ones were established within vocational high school and company-operated high schools were also built in Taegu. Finally, local government started a program of textile festival in 1985. Through textile festival, local government as well as local textile business people tried to reproduce textile industry as the main economic activity of Taegu.

This study aims to examine the current status of Korean and overseas science and arts convergence programs in and out of schools to apply them in school education settings and to learn about the characteristics of overseas programs through case studies. In addition, it explores implications of the current domestic and overseas for implementation in schools. For this study, we selected 193 domestic in-school science and arts convergence programs and 106 domestic out-of-school programs. For the overseas programs, we selected those conducted by the government, research institutes, science halls, and art galleries. We also analyzed the domestic in-school programs by type of students, operation hours, areas of convergence, and the function and role of arts activities. We analyzed domestic out-of-school programs by operation time, operation method, areas of convergence, and type of activities. Moreover, we examined the overseas programs in terms of their program developers, goals, and characteristics. These findings suggest that in order for science and arts convergence education to become well established in Korean schools, it is necessary to develop programs that can be incorporated into the present science education curriculum, rather than individual content or a single class on science and arts convergence, and to diversify the range of programs. In addition, out-of-school programs should be actively considered, and intense discussions on the use of program activities and teaching materials are needed. Finally, research institutes and educational institutions should be closely linked to achieve a common goal.

This paper compared bridge maintenance in United Stated, United Kingdom, Japan, and Korea. Bridges play an essential role in transportation network and in the economic production process. To provide a desirable level of service to the public within limited budgets, it is required to provide effective bridge maintenance activities (e.g. inspection and repair/rehabilitation) at acceptable level of bridge service. A number of bridges are expected to age rapidly in Korea, which will be the excess burden of government. Since several countries have experienced a number of deteriorated bridges because of aging, the countries aforementioned in this study have already developed comprehensive bridge maintenance programs such as inspection practice and repair/rehabilitation techniques. Therefore, the goal of this paper is to synthesize and to compare useful knowledge on bridge maintenance and bridge crack repair/restoration of deteriorated concrete bridge in the four countries. Finally, recommendations that will serve as guidance to transportation agencies for potential enhancements to bridge maintenance and bridge repairs are presented.

이 글은 2004년 충남대학교 국사학과 한국학술진흥재단 기초학문지원 마을사연구의 공동연구 작업에 의한 연구 성과물이다. 연구 대상 마을인 충남 논산시 노성면 병사리는 17세기 호서지역의 3대거족의 하나인 파평윤씨노종오방파(坡平尹氏魯宗五房派)가 세거했던 마을이다. 이 마을의 대표적인 유학자로는 우암(尤庵) 송시열(宋時烈)과 40년 동문사이인 노서(魯西) 윤선거(尹宣擧)와 그의 아들인 명재(明齋) 윤증(尹拯)이 있고, 그 외 파평윤씨노종오방파의 유서와 전통을 이어갈 수 있도록 토대를 닦은 동토(童土) 윤순거(尹舜擧) 등이 있다. 그리고 이 글의 주제 인물인 둔옹(鈍翁) 윤지(尹指)는 동토(童土) 윤순거(尹舜擧)의 아들이다. 특히 윤지(尹指)는 동토(童土) 선생의 서자로 태어났지만 명재(明齋) 윤증(尹拯)의 뒤를 이어 노종오방파(魯宗五房派)의 종중서당(宗中書堂)인 종학당(宗學堂)의 사장(師長)을 지낸 인물이다. 적서의 차별이 엄연함에도 불구하고, 파평윤씨노종오방파(坡平尹氏魯宗五房派) 자제들의 교육을 총책임지는 막중한 소임을 맡았던 것이다. 그 결과 그가 사장(師長)으로 있는 동안 수많은 과거 급제자들을 배출하였을 뿐만 아니라 선대에 이루어 놓은 가학적 전통을 후세에 전할 수 있는 매개자 역할을 훌륭하게 수행했다. 그러나 그동안 윤지(尹指)의 사장(師長)으로서의 생애와 학문 활동에 대해서는 전연 알려지지 않은 채 베일에 가리어져 왔다. 그러던 중 그의 대표저서인 "둔옹집(鈍翁集)" 이 그의 사후 200 여년 이 지난 1916년에 8대 족손 윤구병(尹龜炳) 윤혜병(尹惠炳) 등에 의해 간행되었다. 이에 그의 학문이 세상에 알려질 수 있는 계기가 되었던 것이다. "둔옹집(鈍翁集)"은 "연소천지문답(演小天地問答")과 동몽문답(童蒙問答) 등 두 편으로 구성된 문집인데, "연소천지문답(演小天地問答)"은 4권 1책, 약 13만 여자 분량으로 그 주요 내용은 한의학과 관련된 내용이 주로 되어 있고, 동몽문답(童蒙問答)은 1권 1책 약 7,600여 자 분량으로 주역(周易)의 기본 구성원리인 음양오행설을 자문자답의 형식을 빌려 소개하고 있다. 이 글의 전반부는 둔옹(鈍翁) 윤지(尹指)의 생애를 소개한 후 중반부 이후부터 그의 음양오행에 대한 이해를 소개하였다. 그리고 파평윤씨노종파 3人(윤선거(尹宣擧) 윤증(尹拯) 윤지(尹指))의 주역 이해를 통해 그들의 가학의 일단을 엿보았다. 다만 이글은 둔옹(鈍翁) 윤지(尹指) 연구의 효시(嚆矢)로써 그의 철학의 구체적인 내용 보다는 그의 생애와 개략적인 학문 활동을 소개하는 것에 초점을 맞추었다. 차후 그의 철학의 핵심이 담겨져 있는 "연소천지문답(演小天地問答)"은 장차 한의학 분야 전공자와의 공동연구를 통해 소개해야 할 것이다.

The crisis of the COVID-19 pandemic has caused significant changes in education systems worldwide, including in Korea. Due to COVID-19's social distancing policies, the education system was suddenly switched to distance learning, resulting in many problems in primary schools without preparation. The purpose of this study was to investigate a teacher's awareness of science education techniques, responses to issues in science classes, including inquiry activities, advantages and disadvantages, and roles after experiencing distance learning. Survey and focus interviews were conducted for primary school teachers who had previously participated in distance learning, such as online content classes and real-time interactive classes. The study findings showed three conclusions: 1) Primary school teachers conducted one-way and interactive lectures in online classes. It is vital to improve a teacher's digital literacy to improve other teaching methods such as investigation and discussion in online classes. 2) Primary school teachers acknowledged the challenges of field feedback, inquiry item preparations, and safety in inquiry activities of science classes, by providing individual experimental packages and videos and using online discussion and feedback among teacher - student and student - student interactions. 3) Primary school teachers recognized that various types of classes using IT devices and individualized learning were possible as advantages of distance learning. As for disadvantages, it was acknowledged that inquiry activities, cooperative learning, immediate feedback, and interaction among students were challenging. Furthermore, learning gaps were wider in distance learning.

In this study, we measured customers' perception of organization citizenship behaviors of employees which are known as the important factor for improving performance of companies, and examined the path relationship among related variables such as service quality, customer satisfaction, trust, and positive word of mouth. Although there have been many studies of OCB in the marketing field, the majority of these studies measured employee's OCB from the organization's perspective. This study has extended the prior studies by measuring employee's OCB from the customer's perspective. Customers of beauty salons and public houses were researched such that OCB may be applied to more various customer contact situations. The result is as follows. First, employees's OCB had a direct effect on perceived service quality and trust, and had an indirect effect on customer satisfaction. It means that customers evaluate the service quality of employees and trust frontline employees when they observed employees helping other organizational members, orientated customer facilitation beyond the regulated role and showed positive attitudes for their organization. As a result, customers feel more satisfied. Secondly, OCB had an indirect effect on positive word of mouth through mediation of service quality, satisfaction, and trust. Finally, consumer facilitation had the largest effect on consumer attitude among three dimensions of OCB-consumer facilitation, organization involvement, and sportsmanship. We understood the relationship between frontline employee's OCB and customer attitudes, and the necessity of multidimensional approach in measuring employee's OCB from the customer's perspective.

This study examines the performance of and searches for improvements to the existing automatic fire detection systems installed at domestic apartment buildings as a basic study for development of intelligent fire detection systems specifically for apartments. Thus, this study aims to find out the problems in performance and maintenance of the existing fire detectors installed at apartment buildings which is the prerequisite process for development of intelligent fire detection system for that specific application. It is also found impossible to check whether or not the detectors installed at each apartment are in an operational state at normal times. This study finds that it is desirable to replace the slow-sensing heat detectors by a smoke and single smoke detectors which can detect a fire at its early stage in an effort to improve the problems of fire detectors installed at apartment buildings presently. Because we need to the independence fire detection system of apartment building.
