The purpose of this research was to examine the perceptions of CEOs and HR managers on family-friendly management and family-friendly company certification in small- and medium-size businesses. Six CEOs and HR managers participated in focus group interviews. Five themes were identified: provision of various family-friendly workplace policies, recognition of the need for family-friendly management, difficulty introducing family-friendly management and family-friendly workplace policies, willingness to acquire family-friendly company certification, and ways to expand family-friendly management and family-friendly company certification. All participants agreed on the need for family-friendly management and provided different family-friendly workplace policy suggestions for employees regardless of their interests in acquiring family-friendly company certification. However, they also had difficulties introducing family-friendly workplace policies. This finding suggests that different incentives are needed to encourage companies to expand family-friendly workplace policies.

The purpose of this paper was to develop the key performance indicators of regional co-training programs, using analytic hierarchy process method. Firstly, we pooled indicators by reviewing the literatures. The researcher checked the properness and representative of them and then, the training professionals reviewed them again. Finally, we finalized the indicators, depending on the indicator domains such as MOU (Memorandum of Agreement) company (the training participation rate of MOU companies, training participation of employees, and etc.), training performance (the completion of the program, employment rate, and etc.), cost-effectiveness (training cost per capita), satisfaction (satisfaction rate of MOU companies and training participants), and regional co-training enhancement (the operation of the committee, the will for training of the regional municipal government, and etc.). The weight size varied by the regional training needs, satisfaction of MOU companies, and regional committees of human resource development. We also suggested the continuous revision of the key performance indicators for regional co-training.

The present study tries to identify the characteristics of Problem Based Learning (PBL), which affects the development of middle school students' science self-efficacy. Additionally, we have tried to analyze the relationship within those characteristics to demonstrate the processes of science self-efficacy development. In line with this reasoning, we have developed a 20-module, problem-based learning science program and applied this program to 9th grade students (n=17). Two rounds of qualitative interviews have been conducted with each participant after the program, which has been analyzed with the well-documented method by Corbin and Strauss (2007). As a result, three characteristics of problem based learning have been identified to affect the development of science self-efficacy: a) authentic and ill-structured problem sets, b) small group activity, and c) result sharing. Further analysis has revealed that an authentic and ill-structured problem set as a condition precedent of self-efficacy development, while small group activity has worked as an acceleration condition. Lastly, sharing the result works as a transition condition to future interest on science-related activity or choosing science-related majors.

This paper aim to find activities related to science and technology in the field of Official Development Assistance in Korea and to research its meaning. In order for Korea to achieve greater results through international cooperation in science and technology and ODA, it seems to be the primary task to establish a foundation for collecting social opinions. In other words, when civil society and the private sector are not willing to participate, international cooperation has many limitations in achieving substantial benefits because it embodies the problem of domestic politics. And the science and technology ODA will be a factor considered to be more important variable in the international political order in which multiple actors such as supranational organizations and social organizations play a role in the multi-layer.

Deliberative democracy places its great importance on the theory that the citizens should fill the role of conducting the principles of democratic society. This is divided into two main theoretical trends in modern political theories, a liberal theory advocated by J. Rawls and a critical one emphasized by J. Habermas. Mutual understanding between two scholars focuses on the responsibility of citizens; citizens should be the reflective persons who can accept the terms of just communication going beyond the preference of individual belief. It is not denied that the discussions of deliberative democracy guided by both Rawls and Habermas do not place emphasis upon mass media. Even though they seldom regard the argument how the current media can be a essential factor in encouraging deliberative democracy, they never close the eyes to the significance of communication. Rawls stresses the political freedom of speech as the very condition which leads to the citizens' autonomous participation in politics, while Habermas places his hope on the role of mass media that would amplify the citizens' will gushed out in public sphere.

Local decentralization is a rational allocation of power and responsibilities between the state and local governments, but it is not just a transfer of administrative affairs and transfer of funds. In order to look at the task of moving administrative affairs to the districts, this paper first considered the relevant prior study. Next, we looked at the assessment of the level of function transfer and direction of transfer for government employees. Finally, the task for the transfer of functions has been drawn. Revitalizing functions or affair transfers requires the president's firm will and continued support, efforts to divide roles between central and local governments, increased responsibilities of local governments, revitalizing civic participation and establishing democracy. In addition, in order to expand the function transfer problem, the affair allocation system must be newly established. The discussion of such a system should take into account the issue of regional equity as well as financial transfers. Localization through transfer of functions requires, among other things, a change in perception of the relevant groups. Local decentralization requires long-term time and the participation and cooperation of not only the central but also related stakeholders are important, as seen in existing studies and in the nation's experience.

The gender equality consciousness of public service workers is important since it is not only existed as attitudes and behaviors but also utilized as a policy tool. Therefore, it should be developed to improve practical abilities which enable them to analyze and integrate their own works based on gender perspective. This study examined the experiences and attitudes toward gender egalitarianism education, based on a survey of public service workers in Daejeon city(699 men and 457 women). The results can be used for desirable changes of gender egalitarianism education. We can see that the will of men to participate in the gender egalitarianism education is lower compared to it of women. To expand gender egalitarianism education, the motivation and legislation for participating in education, and the development of various education programs according to gender, age and positions are needed.

Saemaul Undong (SM U) initiated in Korea in the 1970's is widely acknowledged as a successful model for rural community development, despite its limitations. This paper investigates the success factors of the SMU model and the lessons thereof for Sam Sang Model of Lao PDR, which appears ineffective over the years. Results show that land reforms, social ties among villages, strong institutional support and leadership and incentive system as well as "top-down" and "bottom-up" development approaches are among the factors that significantly contributed to the success of the SMU. However, rural development program would not be effective if residents are unwilling to participate. Therefore, to successfully achieve rural community development in Lao PDR, the government should through the Sam Sang model employ top-down and bottom-up approaches to enhance local participation and address the exact needs of the local people.
