Recently, most companies are using information technology and its importance is emphasized daily. In an environment where technology is changing rapidly, organizations focus on making good use of reasonable information technology. However, having excellent human resources and reducing turnover is a problem for most organizations. Accordingly, job satisfaction is a factor that can reduce negative factors and enhance positive factors. Therefore, this study explored the factors that can improve job satisfaction. In this regard, this study conducted an empirical analysis on employees who work in small and medium-sized Korean enterprises. We focused on mobile instruction and mobile information sharing as reasonable factors that improve employee job satisfaction. In addition, we examined the effects of employee self-efficacy to increase the influence of reasonable mobile task instruction and mobile information sharing on job satisfaction. Through the results, this research suggests ways to improve employee job satisfaction in the field of small and medium-sized Korean enterprises. It also provides practical implications and discusses future research directions.

This study aims to confirm which factors related to technology acceptance affect generation MZ's use of luxury fashion platforms. For this purpose, Internet self-efficacy and technology readiness were added as new exogenous and moderating variables using extended UTAUT. Then, performance expectancy, effort expectancy, social influence, and facilitating condition as a factor of UTAUT were set as mediating factors. Response data were collected through questionnaires for generation MZ with experience in using luxury fashion platforms, and a factor analysis, reliability analysis, correlation analysis, and path analysis were conducted using the SPSS and AMOS statistical programs. According to the results, the Internet self-efficacy of generation MZ significantly affected on performance expectancy, effort expectancy, social influence, and facilitating conditions on the luxury fashion platform. Moreover, performance expectancy and social influence had a significant effect on the use intention of luxury fashion platforms, but effort expectancy and facilitating condition did not have a significant effect on use intention and use behavior. Additionally, as the moderating effect of technology readiness affects only the relationship between social influence and behavioral intention, it was confirmed that social influence is an important variable with the characteristics of MZ consumers. Therefore, it is deemed necessary to recognize the importance of social influence when trying to use new technologies targeting generation MZ in the fashion industry.

In the existing researches about the Internet and mobile phone addition for primary and secondary school students, the major addiction testing measurements are personal parameters such as obsession, self-efficacy, and self-control and environmental parameters such as parents, friends, schools, community factors, and mass media. Those researches have focused on the interaction objects between a student and him/herself, parents, friends, schools, or society. While the importance of time perspective has increased recently, there have rarely been the research that had focused on it in education arena. In this paper, we analyze how time perspective influences the Internet and mobile phone addiction levels of primary and middle school students. In order to do that, we surveyed 619 primary and middle school students and analyzed the results in this paper. And then, we renew the relative importance among existing factors for the two addictions and propose the way to prevent the two addictions.

가상강좌에 대한 사회적 관심이 높아지고 각종 교육기관에서 다양한 방식의 서비스를 제공하고 있음에도 가상강좌의 효과 즉, 가상강좌 수강생들의 만족을 측정하는 도구의 개발은 상대적으로 미흡한 실정이다. 특히 초기의 가상강좌가 정보기술을 이용한 실험적인 형태에서 벗어나 기존의 오프라인 교육을 대치할 수 있는 중요한 도구로 대두되고 있다는 점을 감안할 때 가상강좌의 효과를 측정하기 위한 도구는 좀 더 종합적인 접근 방식이 요구되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 가상강좌 특히 인터넷을 기반으로 하는 가상강좌의 네 가지 요소인 학습관리시스템, 강의 컨텐츠, 학습에 대한 인적 서비스 그리고 학생 자신의 심리적 상태 등을 고려한 종합적인 접근에 의한 가상강좌 만족 모형을 제시하고 그 측정도구에 대한 타당성을 검증하도록 한다. 이를 위해 정보기술 사용 측면, 정보품질적 측면, 서비스 관리적 측면 그리고 사회심리학적 측면에서 가상강좌 측면에 만족을 주는 이론적 변수 및 측정도구를 제시하고 측정도구에 대한 타당성을 실증적으로 검증한다.

In this study, a research model is constructed based on the theory of technology adoption. Independent constructs are largely grouped into two: (1) virtual bank characteristics (responsiveness, ease of use, economic benefits, and security), and (2) individual characteristics (innovativeness, self-efficacy and Internet experience). On the dependent side, user satisfaction is posited to influence the loyalty via intention to continuous use. PLS analysis of 194 data points collected revealed that economic benefits, security, innovativeness, and Internet experiences are significantly and positively associated with user satisfaction, intention to continuous use and loyalty. Paths among satisfaction and intention towards the loyalty are also validated. Details of results are discussed with practical and academic implications.

The purpose of this study is finding factors affecting the students' use of the Cyber Home Learning Service System and exploring the direction of this system. It is based on the TAM(Technology Acceptance Model) and the result of the previous studies, six external and three internal factors influencing the sue of Cyber Home Learning Service System were extracted. The participants were 201 elementary school students in Pusan. The response of the questionnaire was gathered by online survey system. To analyze the data and the hypothesis, multiple regression and factor analysis were explored. The result indicated that (a) "usefulness" and "future-intention" affected statically to the use, (b) "usefulness" to the future-intention, (c) "subjective judgement", "fun", and "ease of use" to the usefulness, (d) "self-efficiency" and "contents quality" to the ease of use.

The purpose of this study was to investigate how much adolescents use the internet and how much they are addicted to the internet, and to examine the relative effect of the personal and family related variables on the internet addiction. Data was collected through a questionnaire survey given to 420 students of middle school in Kwangju province. The data were analyzed by frequency, percentage, stepwise multi-regression analysis, Cronbach's $\alpha$, and Pearson's correlations coefficient. The major findings obtained from this study were as follows: 1. The proportion of internet addiction of adolescents was 9.1%. 2. Parent's control, positive family emotion and self-efficacy were proved to be the most significant variables. The internet addiction increased as the score of parent's control got higher, and the scores of the positive family emotion and the self-efficacy lower. 3. Because the positive family emotion was found to be a very important factor in determining internet addiction, this research proposes that the further family life education program should be developed to facilitate the normal family functioning in relations with preventing internet addiction.

The purpose of this study is to identify the factors that influence users' intention to use mobile services in academic libraries, based on the Davis' Technology Acceptance Model. This study employed both perceived usefulness and perceived ease of use, which were core variables in TAM, and added perceived playfulness that was recently applied to many researches on mobile system acceptance intention. As external variables, ubiquitous ability, context awareness, and mobile internet self-efficacy were employed. The data was collected from 325 surveys from two academic libraries and was analyzed with SPSS 18.0 and AMOS 21.0. As a result, perceived usefulness was the most significant factor in predicting users' acceptance intention and perceived ease of use was an indirect determinant of service usage. But perceived playfulness was not significantly correlated. Ubiquitous ability among external variables had a significant effect on perceived usefulness, context awareness did on both perceived playfulness and ease of use, and mobile internet self-efficacy did on perceived ease of use. Based on the findings, this study discussed theoretical and practical implications in academic library mobile service area.
