Purpose: This study was a secondary analysis to verify the mediating role of organizational citizenship behavior (OCB) between organizational justice (OJ) and organizational effectiveness (OE) in nursing organizations. Methods: The RN-BSNs and their colleagues in Seoul and Busan were subjects. The data was collected for 20 days between September 13 and October 2, 2004. Two hundred eighty three data sets were used for the final analysis. The fitness of models were tested using AMOS 5. Results: The fitness of hypothetical model was moderate. Procedural Justice (PJ), Interaction Justice (IJ) and Distributive Justice (DJ) had direct effects on Job Satisfaction (JS), Organizational Commitment (OC) and Turnover Intention (TI) in OE, and indirect effects on JS, OC and TI mediated by OCB. The modified model improved with ideal fitness showed the causal relations among OE. In modified model, PJ, IJ and DJ had direct positive effects on OCB and JS and OC in OE, and indirect effects on JS and OC mediated by OCB. JS and OC in OE had a direct negative effect on TI. Conclusion: OCB mediated the relationship between OJ and OE, so the nursing managers should enhance OCB of the nurses in order to improve OE.

The purpose of this paper is to empirically investigate whether asymmetric price transmission exists in the distribution stage of farmed olive flounder market. For the analysis, time series data were used for the producer prices of Jeju and Wando, and the wholesale prices of Incheon, Hanam and Busan. Through the Granger causality test, the causal relationship from the producer price to the wholesale price was derived and the asymmetric price transmission was analyzed using the autoregressive distributed lag model (ARDL). As a result of the analysis, it was found that there is a phenomenon of 'positive asymmetric price transmission' from the producer price to the wholesale price. This result can be one evidence that excess profits are received in the intermediate distribution stage, and can be said to be a result showing the incompleteness and inefficiency of the distribution structure of the farmed olive flounder. In the future, it is required to establish an information-sharing system in all stages of production, distribution, and consumption that can create a competitive environment for distribution participants and resolve information asymmetry. Also, it is necessary to review the distribution center specializing in live fish from the viewpoint of the establishment of new distribution channels and sales diversification strategy under the rapidly changing fisheries environment.

Personality is comprehensive nature of the mood and attitude of people, most clearly revealed in the interaction with other people. This study is a analysis on personality type to information system security and control from financial institute employee. Based on 'The Big Five' personality model, this study develops hypothetical causal relationships of potential organization member's personality and their information system security and control. Research hypotheses are empirically tested with data collected from 901 employees. Results show that employees of high level security mind are the owner of conscientious and emotional stable personality and the employees of high level control mind are the owner of agreeable and emotional stable personality. Therefore the owner of agreeable and stable personality is higher security and control than others.

This study explores the influence of health behaviors and individual attributes on adolescent overweight and obesity using data from Wave II (Add Health). Structural equation model/ path analysis using maximum likelihood estimation was utilized to analyze the relationships of health behaviors and attributes with obesity. Results of the model reveal that the causal paths (adolescents' attributes and health behaviors) for overweight and obesity were different for African American and Caucasian adolescents. Generally, African Americans were more susceptible to overweight and obesity than Caucasians. Although increasing levels of vigorous physical activities lowers the risk for obesity among African American and Caucasian adolescents alike, low family SES and being sedentary were associated with overweight and obesity among Caucasians. No significant associations were found among African Americans. Increased hours of sleep at night relate positively with obesity among African Americans. These findings suggest important elements in the consideration of race in developing effective intervention and prevention approaches for curbing the obesity epidemic among U.S. adolescents.

This paper explores the ways by which the authority concerned with nuclear energy policy-making in Korea can strengthen its organisational sustainability from long-term perspective. In doing so, it applies the system dynamics approach to predict what would happen to the organisational sustainability of the nuclear energy authority in the future. In the process of analysis, it also draws causal loop map of components contained in the simulation model and constructs user-interface simulation model. It shows different predicted future values regarding organisational sustainability of the nuclear energy authority in Korea and puts forward some policy implications for practitioners and academics involved in nuclear energy policy.

The purpose of this study is to examine the factors influencing interdepartmental confilict in the military hospitals. Relatively little attention has been given to the conflict in the hospitals, especially within military hospitals. Delving into the realities of organizational conflict would provide us an insight of how to handle it. The questionnair survey was conducted for the 254 officers working in 8 military hospitals nationwide. The mean index score of interdepartmental conflict was 14 on the 5-25 point scale, indicating the conflict level was modest. Using t-test and ANOVA, we found that interdepartmental conflict was different by marital status of physicians or educational level of nurses. Next, we examined a causal model using multiple regression method. The personal characteristics of the respondents and the organizational characteristics - intradepartmental relation and interdepartmental relation - were included in the model as the independent variables. From the analysis, we found that working years at the organizations, type of work term, intradepartmental reliance or cooperation, interdepartmental redliance or resource management were significantly related to interdepartmental conflict. The effect from these variables, however, was different across three departments.

This study aims to analyze the impact of vocational training received by learning workers through the degree-linked work-study program on their learning outcomes. Specifically, we explore the causal relationship between various factors considered during university degree program admission and selection, and the average GPA (Grade Point Average) after admission. To achieve this, we conducted regression analysis and variance analysis using historical admission data and GPA records of 976 students from three undergraduate programs at a domestic K university that implements the degree-linked work-study model. Additionally, we included company information from publicly available databases that could potentially influence the academic performance of learning workers. Our analysis revealed significant causal relationships across various factors, including the classification of the high school attended, gender, family background, subject-specific grades in high school, duration of employment at the company, and age at the time of admission. Based on these findings, we anticipate that universities operating similar degree programs can enhance their selection procedures for learning workers. Furthermore, the results of this study can serve as foundational data for future policy recommendations related to degree-linked work-study programs.
