The purpose of this study was to establish the basis for the smooth business conduction of journalists by identifying the impact of job stress on the emotional exhaustion and physical symptoms. The subjects of the survey were 124 journalists of the editorial department of 11 daily newspaper companies in Seoul and the reference period of the survey was from May 1, 2013 to Aug 31, 2013. Factor analysis, correlation analysis and multiple regression analysis were performed using SPSS Win 18.0 at the 0.05 significance level. According to the study, emotional exhaustion is related to 'excessive quantitative role'(r=.613, p<.001) and 'role conflict'(r=.0195, p<.05) and the physical symptoms are related to 'excessive quantitative role'(r=.219, p<.05) and 'career management'(r=.529, p<.001). The results may provide implications for arranging a health promotion program handling job stress.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between big five factors and burnout in non-commissioned officers. To investigate this, 182 non-commissioned officers were surveyed and the data were analyzed. At first, the degree of burnout of the non-commissioned officer was examined. It was found that exhaustion was the highest and diminished personal accomplishment was the lowest among the three sub-factors of burnout. In the 20s and 30s, burnout(total) and cynicism were more severe than in the 40s and above. Then, the multiple regression analysis and the multivariate multiple regression analysis were conducted. As a result, extroversion and agreeableness were related to burnout(total) and extroversion was related to the three dimensions of burnout, The results are likely to help establish policies to prevent non-commissioned officers' burnout. Finally, the limitations of this study were discussed.

This study was carried out to analyze the effect of psychological burnout, work-family conflict, business-related anxiety on counseling requirement for small business owners. To achieve the research purpose, a survey was executed on small 100 business owners doing business in Chung-nam Province including whole and retail sellers, food and lodging establishments, service providers and manufacturers for five weeks from Jan. 1, 2016 through Jan. 312, 2016. All the questionnaires distributed were used for final analysis using SPSS V22. Study findings are as follows: first, most small business owners were found to have had counseling experience; second, no difference was shown in psychological burnout in terms of general characteristics of survey respondents; third, it is found that small business owners with shorter operation career want more counseling opportunity; fourth, it was analyzed that for any counseling service for small business owners, publicity efforts on the availability of counseling service must be precedented; fifth, it was also analyzed that to support small business owners counseling service should be provided in various areas including inter-psychological elements like emotion, conflict with spouse and children. Such findings may lead to a possible conclusion that counseling service can contribute to the success and survival of small business owners both at home and work place.

This study aims to find out the determinants of burnout in order to better understand the burnout process among social workers. For this purpose, a hypothetical model which explains the relationships among 8 job-related stressors (role ambiguity, role overload, difficulties in solving problems of clients, conflict with the clients, lack of support from the supervisor, closed communication pattern, bureaucracy, and lack of accountability), 4 mediators (job-stress, professional role performance, abiding by the agency policy and partiality in service delivery), and 4 dimensions of burnout (physical exhaustion, psychological exhaustion, depersonalization and personal accomplishment) was developed. Using the data collected from 207 social workers, the hypothetical model was tested. For data analysis, a path analysis was used, and the best-fitting model was found(df=66, $x^2$=63.250, GFI=0.962, CFI=1.00). As a result of this study, the following results were found. Burnout among social workers was increased by the 6 job-related stressors(role ambiguity, role overload, difficulties in solving problems of clients, conflict with the clients, lack of support from the supervisor, closed communication pattern). Job-stress, the mediating variable of the emotional path to burnout, increased professional role performance and the abiding by agency policy, and finally increased burnout. On the other hand, professional self-efficacy (which consists of professional role performance, abiding by agency policy and partiality in service delivery), the mediationg variable of the cognitive path to burnout, reduced burnout when the professional role performance was high, and abiding by agency policy and partiality in service delivery were low.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the potential of persimmon vinegar as a functional beverage by analyzing the effects of persimmon vinegar ingestion on the energy substrate during endurance exercise. The healthy male adolescents (n=8) drunk persimmon vinegar ingested trial (PSV) or purified water ingested trial as the control trial (CON) 1 h prior to the exercise with the 60% of maximal oxygen uptake ($\dot{V}O_{2max}$) for 1 h. The exercise intensity was increased to the 80% of $\dot{V}O_{2max}$ and remained until exhaustion. And, the physiological variables, blood components, and amounts of energy oxidation were analyzed. There was no significant difference between trials in physiological variables, and the heart rates after exhaustion were higher in PSV compared to CON. There was no significant difference between trials in blood glucose level, while the blood lactic acids decreased significantly in PSV 30 and 60 minutes after onset of exercise. The free fatty acids concentration increased significantly in PSV from 15 minutes to 60 minutes after onset of exercise. The carbohydrate oxidation decreased significantly in PSV from 45 minutes after exercise and, on the contrary, the fatty acids oxidation increased significantly for the same period. And, fatty acids oxidation was higher in PSV compared to CON even after exhaustion. The respiratory exchange ratio was lower significantly in PSV compared to CON from 30 minutes to 60 minutes after exercise, whereas lower in CON after total exhaustion. The exercise time to exhaustion was 41% longer in PSV compared to CON. These results showed that the persimmon vinegar increase the level of lipids metabolism and decrease sense of fatigue by inhibiting carbohydrate oxidation during moderate intensity exercise, suggesting the possibility of using of persimmon vinegar as exercise functional beverage when ingested 1 h prior to the endurance exercise performance.

The purpose of this study is to examine the improvement of endurance exercise performance by taking mixtures of Ginseng Radix rubra and Paeonia Radix. For this purpose, time of exhaustion, $V0_2max$, heart rate, and blood lactate was used as improvement index. The experiments were executed to thirty eight men in their twenties. They were randomly assigned into four groups[CG: control group(n=10), IG: ingestion mixtures group(n=9), TPG: ingestion placebo+training group(n=9), TIG: ingestion mixtures+training group(n=10)]. IG and TIG took mixtures of Ginseng Radix rubra and Paeonia Radix for four weeks, and TPG and TIG exercised once a day, three times a week, exercised for 25 minutes during the first week and added 2 minutes by week during four weeks up to 75% of their maximum heart rate. Time of exhaustion showed statistically significant increase for IG, TPG and TIG. TIG had the longest time of exhaustion and IG the shortest. In case of $VO_2max$, no statistically significant change was found among four groups. However, IG, TPG, TIG showed small increase in $VO_2max$. Similarly, no significant change was found for heart rate in rest even though TIG and TPG appear to have decreasing trend. For maximum heart rate, no significant change was found either, but IG, TPG and TIG showed increase. In case of blood lactate from rest to exercise until 18 minutes, no group had significant decrease. In case of blood lactate in exhaustion, IG, TPG and TIG had significant increase. Blood lactate recovery volume at 5 minutes, 10 minutes, 20 minutes showed no significant results for all four groups, but TIG and TPG had a small increase.
