The aim of this research was to look into the relationship between leadership; transformational leadership, transactional leadership, and employee innovation, as well as the mediating impact of cultural diversity between leadership and employee innovation. Structured questionnaire was used to collect the data from 633 public and private universities' employees in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) with the help of the stratified sampling technique, and hypothesis verified through structural equations modelling (AMOS-21). Findings of the study shows that leadership has positive impact on employee innovation and cultural diversity partially mediates the relationship between leadership and innovative performance of UAE universities' employees. Practical implication of the study is to understand how universities can enhance their employees' innovation which is crucial for their competitiveness and survival. Moreover, the increasing prevalence of cultural diversity, as work arrangements in universities, raises the question of how to successfully manage employees. Although few studies have looked into how transformational and transactional leadership styles affect employees' innovation performance, this study expands on the topic by concentrating on sub-dimensions of leadership that foster innovation through idea generation and execution at the United Arab Emirates universities. This study offers valuable insights for educational leaders and throws light on the main characteristics of leadership which helps the employees to perform better in terms of innovation.

The aim of this study is to understand how English textbooks in Korea and Japan reflect English education policies for improving the English language learners' cultural ability. In order to achieve the purpose of this study, the method of analyzing English textbooks was used because English textbooks are an important tool that most specifically reflects the English policy of a country. This study analyzed a total of six English textbooks, three middle school English textbooks currently used in Korea and three in Japan. We analyzed nouns/pronouns related to culture presented in the reading section included in each unit, and compared cultural diversity and cultural identity included in English textbooks in Korea and Japan. As a result, it was found that both countries experienced cultural diversity through English education and introduced their cultural pride to Western culture to realize the goal of strengthening global capabilities. This textbook analysis results show that English textbooks of Korea and Japan depend on American/British cultures and norms. The cultural contents of English textbooks in Korea and Japan tend to focus on geography, food and drink, festivals and activities, family and education systems, etc. And English textbooks in Korea and Japan include the cultural sections in each lesson, but they don't suggest how to relate these cultural sections into the learners' real experiences. These results can be utilized as the motives from which both countries develop English education policy and textbooks in the future.

The purpose of this study was to examine how an undergraduate family diversity course supported students to enhance undergraduate students' understanding of diversity issues and cultural competence that are necessary to work with diverse families and children as future family science professionals. We collected qualitative research data from 108 students who were enrolled in five sections of an undergraduate-level diversity course, Working with Diverse Families and Children , using nine open-ended questions. In the current study, we specifically focused on four questions in relevant to what undergraduate students learned and what they desired to learn more about diversity issues in families grounded in Hollinger's developmental model of ethical reflection. Using inductive and deductive iterative processes and triangulation, we conducted thematic analysis. Overall, our findings showed that undergraduate students understood the core concepts of diversity and cultural competence. However, they understood these issues at different stages of Hollinger's model of ethical reflection after taking the course. Most undergraduate students accomplished their cognitive and empathetic understanding of diversity and were primarily in Stages 1 and 2. We suggest interactive and reflective teaching strategies that may be effective for undergraduate students to challenge their own biases, practice ethical decision, and prepare for social actions as family science professionals.

정치, 경제적인 환경의 변화는 새로운 문화 개념과 문화 정책의 패러다임 변화를 동시에 요구하고 있다. 특히 디지털 기술의 진보에 따른 디지털 다채널의 환경에서, 문화산업으로서의 방송은 그 내용 뿐 아니라 그것이 창조되고 생산되는 기반의 조성이 무엇보다도 중요하다고 하겠다. 특히 최근의 한미 FTA 협정 체결에 따른 방송시장 개방은 우리나라 방송영상산업에 있어서 외국자본의 유입에 대한 평가와 함께 문화적 다원성과 문화 정체성 유지에 대한 고민을 동시에 던져주고 있다. 이러한 측면에서 본 연구는 글로벌 미디어 환경이라고 하는 새로운 매체 환경에 직면해, 프로그램의 내용에서 문화적 다양성을 확보할 수 있는 대안을 살펴보고자 한다. 세부적인 연구 내용은 문화의 혼종화를 이루어내고 있는 방송 프로그램의 국제공동제작 실태 점검과 지역적 대안 제시, 그리고 최근에 활기를 띄고 있는 프로그램 포맷 산업의 현황 파악과 가능성을 진단하는 것으로 구성되어 있다. 글로벌 다채널 환경의 도래와 더불어 세계적으로 프로그램 거래가 활성화되고 있는 현 시점에서 문화 정체성과 보편성을 함께 고려할 수 있는 국제공동제작과 포맷 산업은 각국의 문화적 장벽을 극복하고, 콘텐츠의 다원적 이용과 이윤의 다각화를 실현할 수 있는 대안으로 고려되어야 할 것이다.

Natural resource of the island and coastal regions is one of the most important element of ecological network system in Korea. Currently, there is trend that natural and biological resources such as fishing and tidal wetland have been used to local economic activation in island and coastal regions. According to the 5-days work in a week, island and coastal regions become important amenity resource of citizen's recreation area. Korea is peninsula surrounded by maritime. Especially, South and West Sea surrounded by many islands and tidal flat wetlands are emerging marine ecosystem and seascape in the world. Natural resource is limited, so we have to sustain those resource to current tourism. In this study, I would like to suggest that importance of cultural resource as well as natural resource for 'eco-cultural tourism' in order to keep both biological diversity and cultural diversity as amenity resource for future island economic activation in Korea.

The purpose of this study was to examine the cultural diversity in terms of costumes by analyzing the costumes depicted in the early Kushan Dynasty relics, Tillya Tepe. As a research method, literature research and artifact analysis were conducted in parallel. The type of costume worn by the king (or priest) was in the type of a jacket and skirt, which was thought to be of Persian influence. The Greek god of Dionysos was wearing a costume with Danryong (團領) and narrow sleeves, a nomadic type of Central Asia. It could be seen that costumes were transformed into indigenous elements of the region. The shape of the helmet worn by the warrior was a Greek-Macedonian helmet. However, details were transformed into indigenous elements of the Kushan dynasty. The clothing of a nobleman riding a carriage was an element of dress that was observed in Chinese po(袍), and was an unusual element not found in nomadic peoples. There were goddesses wearing Greek robes like Aphrodite in Tillya Tepe's relics. On the other hand, there were goddesses who did not wear Greek chitons like the Greek goddess Athena. Instead, they wore high-waisted robes worn by the Orient goddesses. In addition, after Kushan occupied India, there were Indian elements believed to be expressed by accepting Indian culture. These elements were combined with regional orient elements of the Kushan dynasty, Central Asian elements, and Kushan's own elements. Thus cultural diversity emerged in the costumes depicted in Tillya Tepe artifacts.

한국 사회에서 다문화인이 겪는 편견과 차별로 인한 어려움을 해결하기 위해서는 시민들의 다문화 인식이 고양될 필요가 있으며, 공공도서관은 시민이 다문화에 대한 이해의 폭과 기회를 넓혀 나가는 문화 교류의 장으로 시민의 다문화 인식에 영향을 미칠 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 공공도서관 및 지역의 특성에 따라 공공도서관 일반 이용자의 다문화 인식에 차이가 있는지 살펴보고, 어떤 특성이 다문화 인식에 영향을 미치는지 알아보고자 하였다. 그 결과, 도서관별로 도서관 이용자의 다문화 인식에 유의한 차이가 있음을 파악하였고, 이를 통해 도서관 특성이 이용자의 다문화 인식에 영향을 미친다는 것을 확인하였다. 본 연구는 공공도서관이 전반적인 서비스 제공에 있어 문화다양성 측면을 고려하여야 할 필요가 있음을 제시하였다.

미디어 다양성은 글로벌 시장에서의 경쟁이라는 '환상의 짝꿍'과 더불어 한국 미디어 정책을 규정하는 화두로 등장했다. 미국식 기능 행태주의가 주도하는 미디어 정책은 다양성을 시장경쟁, 소비주체의 자유로운 선택이라는 좁은 울타리에 가둔다. 이에 본 논문은 다양성 그 자체를 하나의 완결한 정책목표로 보는 시각에 근본적인 문제제기를 하고자 한다. 다양성이 미디어 정책 담론의 전면에 등장하는 계기를 한국의 중첩적 정치 경제 맥락 속에서 파악하면서, 본 논문은 기존 계량주의 다양성 연구를 비판적으로 분석한다. 나아가 미디어 다양성이 '측정의 과학'에 과도하게 집착해 탈정치화하는 경향을 주목하며 문화연구자들이 미디어 다양성을 보다 진보적으로 전취하기 위한 몇 가지 제안을 하고자 한다. 핵심적인 주장은 미디어 다양성은 시장의 경쟁과 미디어 상품의 다양화라는 신자유주의의 경제논리를 넘어서야 한다는 것이다. 비판적 문화연구자들은 미디어 다양성을 한국 민주주의의 심화라는 보다 큰 정치 프로젝트 속에서 미디어 공공성의 강화, 독립 대안 미디어에 대한 실질적 지원, 급진적 정체성의 정치학 등의 전략과 함께 고려해야 한다.

Many investigations have been conducted on the biological damage and environmental conditions necessary to preserve the Janggyeong Panjeon and Daejanggyeongpan (woodblocks). We performed a survey on the concentration and diversity of airborne fungi in the Janggyeong Panjeon and compared them with the results of a survey from 2012. The temperature of the Beopbojeon building was slightly lower, while the relative humidity was higher than those found at the Sudarajang building. The concentration of airborne fungi in the Beopbojeon was 1.44-fold that of the Sudarajang. It was confirmed that the concentration and diversity of airborne fungi in the Janggyeong Panjeon differed depending on the sampling site. In total, 23 fungal genera were identified from the air samples, and 11 fungal and 1 bacterial genera were identified from the surface of the woodblocks. Among these, only five types of fungi were commonly distributed in the indoor air and surface of the Daejanggyeongpan; however, 58.3% of the fungi identified on the surface of the woodblocks were not observed in the in the air samples. The surface-dwelling fungi may accumulate dust to form microbial communities over time.
