The citizen-initiative has been frequently mentioned in community building project which is being promoted by Seoul City. The citizen-initiative has become an important concept in the direction of community welfare efforts. However, this concept has not been defined clearly in social welfare. In this context, the purpose of this study is to find how the practitioners of the social welfare practice field recognize the concept of citizen-initiative. In this study, concept mapping method was used to generate 59 statements about the citizeninitiative in 10 social workers in Seoul. Multidimensional scaling analysis and hierarchical cluster analysis are used to do mapping and grouping the 59 statements. The results are as follows. A total of 6 categories were derived. The six categories are named "Inducement of Participation", "Practice", "Procedure", "Awareness and Interest extension", "Expression of Opinion", "Attitude and Emotion". "Practice" category was revealed as a core category in the concept of citizen-initiative. This study is meaningful as a first step to discuss "what is the citizen-initiative?" and to make consensus in social welfare academic area and practice field.

The subjects were 14 nurses who had experienced bullying at their workplace. Data were analyzed using Strauss and Corbin's grounded theory methodology. With data analysis, 139 concepts, 35 subcategories, and 13 categories were generated. "Disregard of presence by negatively learned inertia" was the central phenomenon for workplace bullying of nurses, and the core category was 'struggle to regain oneself'. This study will contribute to a change in individual and organizational awareness of bullying in the workplace by presenting a dynamic process of nurses experiencing bullying.

The purpose of this study is to examine the co-offending implementation process of robbery and burglary crime. To this end, interview data for research projects conducted by the Korea Institute of Criminology in 2013(Advancing Knowledge About Co-Offending - Burglary and Robbery in Korea) were used as secondary data. Using secondary data, we attempted a grounded theory approach. Based on the procedure presented by Strauss&Corbin (1990), the open coding stage was derived from 51 concepts, 22 subcategories and 8 upper categories. According to an analysis tool called "coding paradigm," the causal condition is the cause of the robbery and burglary crime. Contextual conditions are the formation of co-offending relationship and the reason for selecting co-offending. The central phenomenon is the co-offending implementation of robbery and burglary crime. Interventing conditions are conflict between co-offenders and occurrence of arrest factor. The action/interaction strategy is arrested all co-offenders. The consequence consisted of ending the co-offending relationship. Finally, the selective coding stage selected 'the development of conflict between formation and end of co-offending relationship' as the core category, and newly established the co-offending relationship of robbery and burglary crime through the process of 'formation-implementation-conflict-arrest-end'.

This study aims to analyze the performance of public-private governance of urban parks in Cheongju-city, focusing on the 'cooperative governance' model of Ansell & Gash(2007) and find implications. The performance and limitations of the governance were analyzed using 13 success factors suggested by this model. According to the results of the analysis, four categories are satisfied: initial conditions, institutional design, leadership, and cooperation process. 8 out of 13 factors were analyzed at a 'good' level and thus this governance can be evaluated as successful one. Building trust and committed collaboration can be seen as key elements of successful governance. On the other hand, 5 factors were evaluated as 'average' because some limitations were revealed. The results of this analysis suggests that in order to improve cooperative governance, a post-implementation management system should prepared, and the inclusiveness of participation should further strengthened, and also regulations that ensure a regular forum for indirect participants and the public from the institutional design stage should be established. Although this study was analyzed based on the evaluation category of the objectively verified model, there is a limitation in that the evaluation was based on subjective judgment.

This research is to study the psychological, emotional, physical pains of the spouses of gambling addicts and the recovery process from the suffering. From this, we expect to propose a supportive program to help the recovery. Nine of the spouses of gambling addicts joined this research and the hermeneutical grounded theory methodology was applied to interpret it. Data were collected by the depth interview and various written records and they were analyzed by Rennie(2007)'s methodology. We could construct 20 categories by analyzing and categorizing meaningful units of the data. The core theme of the recovery experience was presented as "Stopping rolling the Sysyphus's boulder, and returning to the routine peace." Based upon the research outcomes, we suggested a supportive program considering male and female differences and a way to improve the accessibility to the therapy system for the spouses of gambling addicts and the need for a meaning therapy.

This research is an investigation of difficulties encountered by authors of 5th and 6th grade science textbooks. The aim is to assist authors in creating more easily understandable textbooks in the future. In-depth interviews were conducted with 6 teachers who have previously taken part in the development of 5th and 6th grade texts. The responses given during these interviews were analyzed using open, axial, and selective coding as suggested by Strauss and Corbin (1998). The results are as follows: In open coding, related concepts were extracted and classified into 15 main categories and 46 sub-categories. In axial coding, the main categories were arranged into causal conditions, main phenomenon, context, intervening conditions, action and interactional strategies, and consequences wherein they were consistently related to each other based on Grounded theory. Finally, in selective coding, core categories were instilled whereby the texts being developed were categorized into conservative, progressive, and innovative to allow for easier interpretation. This was done to improve the overall quality of Science textbooks.

This study aims to identify the current situation and core competencies of records managers and archivists through an in-depth interpretation of the perception and its meaning behind their experiences and, based on them, to seek the educational service directions of professional organizations. As a result of qualitative data analysis using interpretive phenomenological research method, this study identified three categories of field needs, core competencies, and educational service directions, as well as 10 super-topics, 30 sub-topics, and 82 semantic units. Based on this, this study has suggested the educational service directions of professional organizations, such as the provision of opportunities to secure external driving forces for work innovation, the provision of learning opportunities for communication and public discussion among institutions, and the provision of new partnerships and practical learning opportunities. This study is meaningful in having derived the main educational service directions that professional organizations should focus on and support by identifying the current situation and core competencies of records managers and archivists.

The scope of key competency of engineering majors has been expanded for last decades. Nowadays, not only major knowledge but also extracurricular knowledge such as business, economics, law and so on are regarded as prerequisites for successful performance at work sites. In this context, we defined several determinants of key competency classified into attitude, knowledge and skill, and investigated their relative importance perceived by Korean companies (n=145). Based on the results, the gap between key competency of engineering majors and academic curriculums of universities (n=182) was analyzed. Subsequently, regional difference and qualitative disparity between universities were also revealed.
