This study establishes the research model and sets up the hypothesis in order to analyze the effect of the type of mixed manning and the ratio of foreign crew on the group cohesiveness, job satisfaction and organizational commitment in ship organizations and the moderating effect of the acceptance and adaptation of cross-culture. For statistical hypothesis testing, it conducts a questionnaire survey targeting mixed manning ships and examines empirically the inter-variables relation through the regression. The result of empirical research is that the group cohesiveness, job satisfaction and organizational commitment in the ship organization of Korean master(chief engineer) and foreign officers is higher than that of Korean master and officers. Moreover, it is found that the group cohesiveness of 31~50% foreign crew group is less than that of the others. However, There is no moderating effects of the acceptance and adaptation of cross-culture. Additionally, it demonstrates the higher job satisfaction and organizational commitment in the stronger cohesiveness groups. The finding suggests the rationale that shipping and ship management companies could raise the group cohesiveness, job satisfaction and organizational commitment by moderating the type of mixed manning and the ratio of foreign crew.

The primary purpose of this study is to examine empirically the effect of foreign crew's cultural and organizational characteristics on their self-efficacy and organization commitment. Currently, the restrictions on the employment of the foreign crews are being eased in the Korean shipping industry and many problems are occurring consequently. However, specific and empirical studies on the relevancy of cultural characteristics to the crew's self-efficacy and organizational commitment on board the vessels with combined crews have not yet been carried out. To solve these problems, we examined how the cultural characteristics such as acculturation and accommodation of different culture related to the improvement of cultural homogeneity of vessels with combined crews influence on the self-efficacy, job satisfaction and organizational commitment of the foreign crews through SEM analysis. According to the results, hypothesis 1 and 2 were all supported with statistical significance. To conclude, this study suggests that foreign crew's cultural homogeneity and their self-efficacy should be firstly enhanced in order to improve organizational commitment on the vessel with combined crews. Furthermore, a study on self-efficacy of crew organization is urgently needed to enhance the effectiveness of an organization in a vessel with combined crews that has special environment. The result of this study will contribute a lot to the organization management of a vessel with combined crews.

In line with the United Nations' Action Plan for the First and Second World Programme for Human Rights, countries around the world are making efforts to strengthen and develop human rights education through voluntary participation and improvement of the legal system. South Korea is also trying to spread human rights education under the leadership of the National Human Rights Commission of the Republic of Korea, but there has been no significant progress so far. Moreover, it has failed to pay close attention to the human rights issues of seafarers on board. This study identified the phenomenological problems based on an analysis of domestic and international literature, and of cases of violation of seafarers' human rights. It utilized the interactivity research method to create an educational environment for improving the human rights situation of seafarers on board mixed-nationality crew vessels. In doing so, the research suggests the introduction of human rights education for seafarers and the implementation of a human rights education program in designated educational institutions as fundamental solutions to the human rights issues of seafarers, as these have been pointed out as the main cause of conflicts in mixed-nationality crew vessels.

In line with the transformation of the shipping industry, the number of mixed-manning ships is on the rise - bringing foreign sailors aboard with their local sailors. During on-board work, a culture is formed according to mixed-manning, which leads to changes in on-board living environment. This causes various problems such as communication problems, and lack of education and training. In order to identify and solve problems caused by mixed-manning, this study presented a plan for systematic education of foreign seafarers. The officials in charge of the affairs of foreign sailors conducted questionnaire surveys at various shipping lines. The questionnaire survey results were analyzed using the IBM SPSS Statistic 26 program. Three improvement measures were proposed to solve the problems after identification of the types of education, education methods, and problems of foreign employees. This study revealed that it is imperative to systematize related education of foreign seafarers based on the results of the survey.

With today's continuous increase of both seaborne trade and foreign crew boarding ships, it is necessary to study the standardization of Marine English with respect to Aids to Navigation(AtoN) for the safety of ships. After reviewing the organization of the standard council of the equipment and article of AtoN, the standardization of various types of AtoN was not capable of meeting by the only existing council's activities. For on-the-job progress, it was necessary for the subcommittee to be composed by types of AtoN. It is thus desirable to the integrated approach to the combination of the civil, the public, academic circles and research institutes, which harmonized the council's flexibility and professionalism in the composition of the members. Subjects, levels and targets in each course were presented from results of the study on the standardization scheme of Marine English related to AtoN. The ET steps were classified by the difficult degree to which the principles of interpretation and communication were applied. This study contributed to the scheme that was firstly established to solve the problem of the audiovisual English ET due to the lack of the professionalism of the existing marine affairs by presenting the standardization scheme of Marine English prior to the institutional reform related to AtoN.

This study aims to develop the occupational Korean language curriculum for the foreign seafarers working on the Korean coastal vessel. In the recent years, the employment of foreign seafarer has increased significantly to meet the shortage of the Korean seafarers. As the number of the mixed-crew vessels has increased, communication and cross-cultural awareness among different nationalities have emerged as an important issue. Therefore, the foreign seafarers are obliged to undergo Korean language training to help them in adapting to the Korean vessel according to the 'Guidelines of foreign seafarers management'. However, the time for language training is very short, and there are no systematically developed textbooks. Therefore it is essential to develop curriculum and textbooks for foreign seafarers to acquire training in fundamental Korean dialogues for their daily life and work on board. This study was carried out using the DACUM method to draw core tasks from various works and tasks on board. Firstly, the existing Korean language teaching materials for the foreign crew should be analyzed. Secondly, the job analysis committee should be organized based on the analysis. Then, the list of the tasks for the crew through the committee workshop should be prepared. Thereafter, a questionnaire survey should be carried out to identify the level of importance and frequency by the seafarers working on the coastal vessel. Finally, the core curriculum of the Korean language should be developed for foreign deck crews.
