Life competencies most required for university students, who receive a higher education and prepare to go into society, are job competencies. People with a variety of competencies are needed in the job market in a globally-oriented 21st-Century knowledge-based society. Now that raising competent people who have a high level of job competency is regarded as one of university functions, a way to improve job competencies through university education needs to be investigated. This study proposes a convergence education system to improve job competencies. The convergence education system includes five type of convergence: convergence in major fields of study, convergence in education courses, convergence in education space, convergence in education methods, and convergence in education period. This education system is expected to improve a variety of job competencies including cognitive competencies, non-cognitive competencies, and global competencies.

This study was conducted to provide basic data to promote hair beauty service education by identifying the difference in the effect of positive psychological capital on job performance and job satisfaction of hair salon workers. For this purpose, in order to empirically verify the effect of positive psychological capital on job performance and job satisfaction of hair salon workers, 280 people engaged in hair salon workers in Gwangju, Daegu and Gyeongsangbuk-do were targeted. As a result of the study, positive psychological capital of hair and hair salon workers affects job performance and job satisfaction, and among the sub-factors of positive psychological capital, hope and optimism appear to affect both job performance and job satisfaction. Therefore, in order to strengthen the positive psychological capital of hair salon workers, it is necessary to develop a convergence program development and strategy that can enhance job performance and job satisfaction and apply it to the hair beauty service field.

This study was to explore the relationship between the job stress and mental health of nurses. The participants were 291 nurses from two general hospitals in C city. Job stress, mental health, and general characteristics of nurses were measured. The data were collected from April 7 to 30, 2015. The collected data was analyzed with descriptive statistics, t-test, ANOVA, Pearson's correlation coefficients and multiple regression analysis. The mean score for job stress was 61.96 point and 92.45 for mental health. The mean scores for job stress were significantly different by age and turnover experience in nurses. Job stress was positively correlated with mental health(r=.233, p=.000). The findings indicate that job stress has an influence on mental health. We'd like to provide basic data on developing convergence programs to prevent and intervene job stress considering nurses' mental health problems in nursing service that is rapidly changing and specialized for the convergence generation.

We have developed art and career convergence class for career recognition through drawing a neighborhood job map. Thus, we want to expand the students' career recognition. 3 Classes were conducted in 16 elementary school students from 5th to 6th. Through pre & post-questionnaire, and the interviews with the students' work, job recognition with job value and job prejudice, self-understanding and career attitude were analyzed. As follows. First, students' job recognition was expanded. The ability to identify the needs, values and purposes of jobs has improved. Changes in job values that all jobs are worth have occurred and job bias has changed. Second, the career attitude changed on the basis of self-understanding. Thus, in the context of deciding the job demanded by the society rather than the student's will, art and career convergence class was effective in career recognition.

The purpose of this study is to obtain basic data to be used in social welfare intervention for relieving psychological burdens caused by job stress in the eco-boomer generation that will be the center of Korean society in future, by estimating job stress change trajectories of the eco-boomer generation in the convergence era, figuring out predicting factors and examining job stress factors that individuals experience, in accordance with the degree of job stress and the changes. This is a longitudinal study using secondary data and for analysis, the Latent Growth Model(LGM) was applied to the 1st year to the 7th year Korean Welfare Panel Data. Self-esteem was one of job stress predicting factors of the eco-boomer generation. Since most of eco-boomers were students in the early measurement period, the level of job stress was low, but over time, the burden of job increased by gradation. This study has significance by providing an empirical basis for predicting factors of job stress changes of the eco-boomer generation to understand job stress in the eco-boomer generation.

This is a convergence study to examine influences of self-efficacy and mindfulness on job satisfaction of nurses. For this explanatory survey research, 71 clinical nurses working for a general hospital in D city were recruited. Data were collected with self-reported questionnaires from september 20 to october 4 in 2015 and analyzed with PASW Statistics (SPSS) 18.0 program. Job satisfaction significantly positively correlated with self-efficacy (r=.439, p<.001), but there were no significant correlation between self-efficacy and mindfulness (r=-.142, p=.241) or mindfulness and job satisfaction (r=-.067, p=.583). Self-efficacy was the only significantly influencing factor on job satisfaction (${\beta}=.429$, p<.001). According to the results, self-efficacy could be a key factor to increase job satisfaction of clinical nurses and many trials had to be developed and administered to increase it for enhancing clinical nurses' job satisfaction.
