Nursing practices should be based on the understanding of human beings. In order to understand human beings, it is important to study the lifestyles and thoughts of people in their natural environment. In this sense, the cultural aspects of a society need to be studied for a culture-bound nursing service. Child care, which is an important element of nursing, is also strongly influenced by the culture of a society. Therefore, a cultural study is necessary to understand the child-rearing practices of any society. The major purpose of this dissertation is to provide basic foundations for developing a culture-based theory for nursing intervention through studying traditional cultural elements of child care in Korean society. The study examined child-rearing practices in a small village on Koje Island in the southern part of Korea. It utilized ethnographic methodologies including participatory observations and in-depth interviews. The study participants were 9 Korean mothers living on Koje Island. The average age was 52. The data were collected between July in 1998 and December in 1999. The average number of interviews per person was 7-8, and the duration of each interview was approximately 2 hours. The data were analyzed using the Spradley Analytical Method. The following 9 major child-rearing aspects of mothers on Koje Island were discovered as a result of the study: 1. Firstly, mothers on Koje Island were mostly concerned about the "Old Birth Goddess' Curse", especially during their child's early years. This concern was evidenced by their careful behavior when their child was very young and by their praying to the Old Birth Goddess not to be jealous of their babies. 2. Secondly, they wished their children to live a different and better life than themselves. It was represented by their strong motivation toward their children's education as well as their expectation for their children's success. In traditional Korean culture, Korean people think that the rise and fall of the household depend on their offsprings. Therefore, Korean mothers wish their children attain to a higher level of social status through education. 3. Third, mothers are concerned about their children's righteousness. Mothers on Koje island expect their children to live with discretion, justice, strength, respect, harmony, and to do their best in life. 4. Next was an 'anticipation of their children's happy marriage'. The attributes of this category were an 'anxiety about their children's married life', and 'an expectation of a good spouse for their children'. Because Korean people believe that only a son can continue the bloodline of a family, especially Korean mothers have a great concern of the possibility of their daughters not having a son after marriage. Also they have different expectations toward their daughter-in-laws than son-in-laws. 5. Korean mothers also derived their satisfaction from their son. It was characterized by 'excessive affection toward their son', 'dependency on their son', and 'being afraid of their married daughter having a girl like themselves'. Korean society has been a patriarchy. Therefore, a son is beloved as someone who will take care of his old parents, be in charge of ancestral rites, and provide a daughter-in-law who can conceive a son. 6. The sixth category concerned 'the differences in their expectations for their children'. The attributes in this category were 'different expectations depending on their children's gender', 'different expectations depending on their children's ability', and a 'great sympathy toward children with low abilities'. Korean mothers expect their son to become better than their daughter. 7. The seventh category was related to their 'roles in child-caring practices'. Traditionally a child was raised in an extended family system in Korea So it was not the sole duty of a mother to bring up the child. Korean mothers used to receive much help rasing children from their in-laws, and family members. On the other hand, many children grew up by themselves, because their mothers were very busy taking care of housework. Furthermore, many children also grew up in poverty. 8. Mothers also had issues related to 'conflicts in child rearing'. They were characterized by 'lack of understanding', 'rudeness of children', and 'giving vent to one's anger'. 9. Finally, mothers regretted not doing their best in child-rearing practices. It was characterized by a 'bitter feeling of repentance', 'feeling irritated', and 'feeling of unsatisfaction'.

신라 말 선종계열 사찰을 대표하는 구산선문(九山禪門)의 개산(開山)은 지방문화의 발흥과 자신감의 표현이었으며 지방 호족들의 사회 경제적 기반을 토대로 한 것이었다. 선종(禪宗)이 유행하던 시기에 주로 재창되었던 구산선문의 입지 특색은 풍수적 논리를 따른 것이다. 풍수가 성행하기 이전에 건립된 사찰들은 주로 전통적인 토착신앙 세력들이 신성시하던 성소, 성지(聖所, 聖地)를 택해 입지했고, 신라의 경우 왕성의 도심 곳곳에 사찰이 수없이 많이 건립되었다. 이후 신라말기에 선종의 유행으로 인해 선종사찰들이 많이 건립되고 풍수도 본격적으로 성행하게 되어 사찰의 입지에 풍수논리가 뒷받침되기 시작했다. 구산선문이 개산(開山)하기 이전의 사찰은 주로 삼산, 오악(三山, 五岳) 등의 영지(靈地)개념에 따른 입지가 많았으나 구산선문은 당시로서는 변방이라 할 수 있는 지역으로 확대되어 독립적인 산문을 재창하였다. 구산선문 각 사찰의 경우 산과 물이 짜임새 있게 조화를 이루고 있어 풍수지리적인 전체성이 잘 드러나고 있다. 각 사찰은 계곡물이 모여 완만히 감싸는 곳, 물을 얻기 용이하면서도 산이 사방으로 들러쳐진 아늑한 곳, 즉 풍수에서 길지(吉地)로 여기는 '산에 기대고 물에 접한' 땅에 입지하여 풍수적인 조건을 잘 갖추고 있다. 구산선문은 주로 분지상의 지세에 입지하였으며 사찰의 축선(軸線)은 지형(내룡(來龍)의 맥세(脈勢))에 따라 이루어졌다. 각 사찰에서 나타나는 장소의 약점은 풍수적인 비보책(裨補策)을 통해 보완하였다.

The writer reports the conclusions gained from study about the cause of the hypersensitive large intestine syndrome with Dongeuibogam as the central figure through researching the disharmony among Body Essence, Vital Energy, Mentality, and Blood, mutual action of five viscera and six bowels, and external shapes. The hypersensitive large intestine syndrome is generally chronic and recurred in many cases, so it is more efficacious than symptomatic to treat according to find the contradictions of individual shapes. The shapes and cases suffering frequently the hypersensitive large intestine syndrome are Gi-kwa and Sin-kwa, having a long nose, having a bruised spot on Triple warmer, man with inclined mouth, Taeeum type, man with congested fluids, man with colic symptoms. The hypersensitive large intestine syndrome in Oriental medicine is recognized of diarrhea, constipation, abdominal pain, abdominal distention and fullness caused by seven emotions. In Dongeuibogam it can be found out the similarity in depressive symptoms due to disorder of Gi, stagnation of Gi, dysphasia due to disorder of Gi, diarrhea due to disorder of Gi, fullness of due to Gi, diarrhea due to phlegm-retention, retention of undigested food, immoderate drinking, hypo-function of the spleen, or deficiency, abdominal pain from colic symptom, and difficulty in defecation and urination, internal injury, diarrhea due to weakness and fatigue. If the Jung, Gi, Sin, and Hyul composed the human body is broken harmony, the function of large intestinal transmission would be fallen, so similar symptoms like the hypersensitive large intestine syndrome are gotten. Especially Gi-kwa suffers diarrhea, constipation abdominal pain, and abdominal distention and fullness due to depressive symptoms from disorder of Seven emotions or Seven Gi. And Sin-kwa suffers from the hypersensitive large intestine syndrome due to emotional restlessness having an influence on rhythmic movement of abdomen. Examining between five viscera and six bowels and the hypersensitive large intestine syndrome, Liver cannot disperse well having influence on mutual relation of Liver-Large intestine, Heart reduces the function of defecation and urination not to control the seven emotions, Lung having exterior and interior relation with intestine has an influence on primordial energy and let the main symptoms occur, Spleen circulating the body fluid let the main symptoms occur due to malfunction of circulation, Kidney locating in lower part of the body has deep connection with intestine, so let the disorder. Urinary bladder is connected with intestine in moisture metabolism, Stomach is connected in receive and transmission, Small intestine is connected in absorption and excretion, from small intestine pain disturbing the abdominal movement, Samcho managing the catharsis of lower heater if declined its function causes the hypersensitive large intestine syndrome. The colic symptoms of Front private parts which disorder in lower abdomen give rise to abdominal pains, difficulty in defecation and urination due to Cold are similar to the hypersensitive large intestine syndrome. The treatments of applying the shapes of colic syndrome advocated by Master Park can be efficacious cure in clinic. Researching after the clinical cases of Master Park advocating Hyungsang medicine, we came to know that plenty of prescriptions of internal injury are applied and take good effects.

This article was intended to survey whether Roy' Adapation model ('Roy Model') can be applied to family health assessment and to study whether application of the Roy Model to a Korean family is feasible. under the Roy Model, a family is viewed as an adaptation system having a series of process of input. process, feedback, and output. Further, the Roy Model indicates that a family contains Physiolosical, self-concept. role function and interdependent mode in respect of internal or external stimuli. In the event where the family health assessed, the adaptation mode of that family must be assess at the first stage. Then, the focal, contextual, residual stimuli affecting the family must be assessed. In 1984 Hanson suggested four types of family adaptation mode based upon the Roy Model and thereby enhanced the possibility for family health assessment. In order survey whether the Roy Model can be applied to the Korean family, the author of this article contracted adults of 169 who live in 'A' city to make open questions regarding family and then analyzed responses from them by utilizing Roy model. This study categorized family Adaptation mode based upon the' four types of family adaptation mode developed by Hanson. As a result of this study, family adaptation mode was categorized into 117 concepts. Those 117 concepts are consisted or Physiolosical mode of 47. self­concept mode of 56, role function mode of 9 and interdependent mode of 5. Further. stimuli affecting family were classified based upon Roy's definition as to three types of stimuli. Stimuli on a family are comprised focal stimuli concept of 19, contextual stimuli concepts of 19, one residual stimuli concept. this result implies that the Roy's Model can be applied to Korean family. Physiological mode shows meaning of survival. while self-concept mode reflects meaning of growth and emphasizes harmony among the family based on the familism. The role function mode shows continuity rather control of family member. By contrast, interdependent mode shows interaction with community to which the family belongs. but the degree of interaction does not appear too high. The analysis of family stimuli led this study to conclude that troubles within a family. changes in family structure and diease of family member generate stimuli. However, an application of the Roy Model contains the following problems: First, Roy argued that the family adaptation mode should be assessed at the first level family health assessment and then stimuli affecting family adaptation should be adaptation assessed at the second stage. To the belief of the author of this article. however, for checking family adaptation level. focal, contextual, residual stimuli should be confirmed by assessing stimuli at first stage. Then, the family adaptation mode in respect of such stimuli should be assessed. The rationale for this is that the family adaptation level is determined depending on degree of strength of focal. contextual. residual stimuli. Second. Whall (1991) raised a question 'Does one assess family adaptation mode and intervene in the stimuli?' 'Likewise, assessment of the family adaptation should be made in the following manner in order for family health to be enhanced. Third. Roy believes that additional stimuli (such as contextual and residual) are same as internal process (including nurturance. support, and socialization). However, the basis for this Roy's belief is not too clear. In spite of these problems which the author indicated above, it can be concluded that the Roy Model can serve as a good device for an assessment of family health and that the Roy Model can be applied to a Korean family. Finally, further research of family adaptation theory and family nursing theory is required for a development of these theories.

건물의 벽이나 담에 여러 가지 문양을 넣은 담장을 '꽃담' 또는 '화초장(花草墻), 화문장(花紋牆)'이라고 한다. 꽃담을 통해서 외적으로는 소유자의 권위, 가치관 등을 짐작할 수 있고, 내적으로는 집안의 안녕과 평화를 기원하는 상징적 의미를 추적할 수 있기도 하다. 그동안 꽃담 관련 연구의 경우 궁궐은 건축, 원예, 미술 디자인 분야 등에서 다양하게 진행된 반면 지역성과 관련한 전통민가와 사찰 관련 연구는 조경분야에서 전무한 상태이다. 이러한 관점에 착안하여 본 연구는 국가 및 도지정 문화재인 전라북도 소재 전통민가와 사찰의 꽃담 사례를 조경적 관점에서 조사, 분석하였다. 전수 조사한 결과 꽃담이 도입된 전통민가 9개소와 사찰 7개소를 중심으로 연구분석하였다. 즉, 전라북도에 산재하는 문화재 16개소를 중심으로 전통민가와 사찰에 나타나는 꽃담의 형태와 기능, 재료, 문양의 상징적 의미를 추적하여 연구결과를 도출하였다. 꽃담은 위치와 형태에 따라 공간기능과 성격이 차별화 되며, 문양의 경우 담장은 물론 합각, 고막이, 굴뚝 등에 다양하게 나타난다. 민가에서는 식물은 물론 문자문양까지 다양한 반면 사찰에서는 불교의 교리와 신앙 등의 의미를 지닌 신앙관련 문양이 주로 나타난다. 상징적으로 민가의 경우 가문과 자손 번영, 벽사, 장수, 길수(吉數) 등이 나타나며, 사찰에서는 불성(佛性)과 극락왕생(極樂往生)을 기원하고 연꽃의 속성을 강조하는 등 의미적 차별성이 표출된다. 결과적으로 본 연구를 통해 향토 조경문화의 올바른 조명, 현대 공간에 꽃담을 모티브로 한 한국적 정취의 표출 가능성, 그리고 꽃담에 대한 인식 제고와 계승 방안 모색을 위한 기초자료 제공 등과 같은 연구 성과를 도출할 수 있었다.

지명 고찰, 사찰팔경의 의미 분석 그리고 바위글씨의 지시내용과 성격 분류 등을 토대로, 한국 문화 DNA의 하나인 유불선 삼교통섭의 의미경관이 김천 청암사 경역에서 어떠한 방식으로 인식되며 표출되고 있는 지를 확인할 목적으로 시도된 본 연구의 주요 결과는 다음과 같다. 청암사가 위치한 곳은 조선 중기 대표적 유자(孺子)인 한강(寒岡) 정구(鄭逑, 1543~1620)가 경영한 무흘구곡의 상류부로서, 일제강점기 청암사 주지 벽암(碧庵) 이덕진(李德珍, 1896~?)이 제영한 청암사팔경의 대상과도 중복된다. 청암사를 품은 배후 산의 산명(山名)인 불령산(佛靈山)을 비롯하여 수도산(修道山), 선령산(仙靈山)과 신선대(神仙臺) 등의 지명 병용(倂用)과 청암사원(靑巖寺院), 청암사팔경, 불령동천(佛靈洞天), 나무아미타불[南無阿漏隋佛], 호계(虎溪), 여산폭포(廬山瀑布), 세진암(洗塵巖) 등 다양한 속성의 바위글씨는 사찰영역에 혼재된 유교와 선교의 공존을 보여준다. 특히 청암사 계곡 호계와 경내 조성된 삼소천(三笑泉)은 중국 장시성의 여산동림사에서 비롯된 호계삼소(虎溪三笑)의 고사를 통한 유불선 3교 회통의 상징 경물로 구현되고 있다. 또한 청암사에는 신(神)과의 교섭이란 숭고한 장소성을 보이는 여산폭포와 이를 각자(刻字)한 바위글씨 그리고 여산교(廬山橋)가 존재한다. 이와 같이 청암사에는 불교적 배타성에서 벗어나 삼교 화합과 공존을 상징하는 호계삼소의 정신을 담은 유불선 통섭의 문화가 다양한 층위(層位)로 녹아있다. 더욱이 승가(僧家)의 실천내용으로 알려진 '육화경법(六和敬法)' 중 제3계율인 "자기주장만 내세우고 남의 주장을 무시하지 마라"라는 '의화동사(意和同事)'의 교리는 호계삼소의 정신과 맞닿아 있다. 호계삼소와 구곡동천(九曲洞天) 및 팔경(八景)의 문화경관으로 채색된 김천 청암사는 도불(道佛) 뿐만 아니라 유불(儒彿) 더 나아가서 삼교(三敎) 수용의 문화가 녹아있는 유불선 통섭의 명소로 부족함이 없다.

이 논문은 조선 초기에 편찬된 병서(兵書)를 통하여 지식인들의 병학(兵學) 사상을 개괄한 것이다. 선초는 대외적으로는 남북으로 외세(外勢)를 극복하고, 대내적으로는 새로운 왕조(王朝)의 기반을 확립하는 상황이었으며, 이것은 병서 간행에 있어서도 전제가 되지 않을 수 없었다. 따라서 당시의 병서는 병학 자체의 정립 목적과 아울러 여말(麗末)의 무장(武將)이자 조선(朝鮮)의 개조(開祖)로서 활약상을 반영함으로써 정치적 안정을 고려하고 있다. 선초에 출간된 병서는 일부 전쟁사 기술을 제외하고는 대부분 무경칠서(武經七書)와 그 주해에 근거한 것이다. 이것은 당시 병학 정립의 시급성과 아울러 우리나라 고래의 병서가 전해지지 않았던 데 원인이 있다. 그러나 당시 지식인들은 무경칠서를 권모궤계(權謀詭計)에 치우친 것으로 평가하고 유가적 입장에서 병학을 재정립하고자 노력하였다. 이로부터 중국과 우리나라의 지리적(地理的) 차별성이 병학 논쟁의 시발점이 되었으며, 병학과 음양가(陰陽家), 병학과 유가(儒家)와의 관계에 대한 논쟁도 있었다. 선초의 병서에서는 무엇보다 장수의 문무겸전(文武兼全)의 리더십과 군대의 화합을 강조하고 있다. 또한 현실적 측면에서 예악(禮樂)과 병형(兵刑)의 겸용(兼用)을 강조하고, 순자(荀子)의 '부민(附民)'(일민(壹民))의 사상을 대량으로 원용(援用)하고 있다. 이 점은 중국의 병가(兵家)에서도 마찬가지이지만, 당시 성리학의 정립 과정에서 맹자를 전제로 하는 것과는 다른 경향이다. 요컨대 선초 지식인들은 문무병용(文武竝用)이라는 전제하에 병학을 유가의 성현(聖賢)과 연계시키고, 양자의 접합점으로서 인의(仁義), 예악(禮樂), 충효(忠孝), 삼강(三綱), 오륜(五倫) 등의 덕목을 들고 있다. 특히 병학을 유가의 삼강이나 오륜과 연계시키는 것은 중국에서 찾아보기 어려운 것이며, 한 마디로 조선 초기 병학의 특징은 '병학(兵學)의 윤리화(倫理化)'라고 평할 수 있을 것이다.

여헌 장현광은 조선시대 여타의 유학자에 비해 철저하게 성리학의 본질을 충실하게 탐구하고, 심도 있게 학설을 확장시킨 학자이다. 여헌은 성리학적 교육의 기본 체계인 "대학"과 "중용"에 의거하여 자신의 학설을 강화한다. 이러한 사유의 전개에 근거하여 여헌의 교육사상은 세 측면에서 조명해 볼 수 있다. 첫째, 여헌은 교육의 기준으로서 성인군주론(聖人君主論)을 심화한다. 그것은 본질적으로 존천리알인욕(存天理?人欲)을 추구하며, 도덕적 각성과 덕치주의를 강조한다. 둘째, 여헌은 교육의 양식으로서 성경(誠敬)의 공부론을 강조한다. 여헌은 마음에 성(誠)과 경(敬)을 세울 것을 강조하고, 두 가지의 차별성을 인정하면서도 동일한 맥락에서 이해한다. 셋째, 여헌은 교육의 방법으로서 분합(分合)의 조화를 주창한다. 여헌은 그의 독특한 리기경위설(理氣經緯說)을 통해, 역(易)의 논리에 따라 어느 한쪽으로 치우치거나 지나치지 않는 중용의 관점을 유지한다. 이러한 여헌의 교육적 사유는 현대 교육적 의미에서 볼 때, 교육의 표준을 도덕의 확립에 두고, 교육의 양식과 방법에서 중용적 통찰을 고려하는 아이디어를 제공한다. 요컨대, 여헌의 교육사상은 일관성을 지닌 전통 성리학의 교육적 지혜를 담고 있는데, 현대 교육의 기준 혼란, 내용의 비체계화, 방법적 치우침에 대한 균형 감각의 중요성을 재검토하는 데 주요한 시사점을 준다.

It is significant for developing the future for us to know our present age. In order to preserve our Korean costume as a fola clothes retaining our distinguished independent characterisitics and to help design the tomorrow of our Korean costume playing a role as a racial to develop the world clothing culture, a survey was conducted to investigate modern people's conscious-ness and wearing practumes of Korean costume by questionaire and interviewing methods. The results of the survey were analyzed as follows: (1) At present, Korean costumes were purchased as customtailored(64.0%) and as ready-made(17.8%) and most of them were not made at individual homes. The laundry and ironing of them were carried out at laundry shops(68.8%). Considering our present economic, social and cultural aspects, sowing, laundryand ironing will not be carried out at homes again in the future and ready made costumes seen to be produced in a large scale in the future. Garment makers and laundry shop operators should be trained how to make our Korean costumes retain our traditional beauty in the course of their production and laundry and the makers of ready-made costumes must make research how to efficiently produce ideal ready-made costumes by adopting the synchro system in their wrk odisivion. (2) The age group wearing Korean costumes most frequently was the aged people over 60 (their wearing rate; 45%-50%) and the group wearing them most frequently next io the aged people over 60, was housewives(their wearing rate; 15%-20%). Excludign aged people and housewives, other respondentsdid not wear Korean costumes very frequently. Men's wearing rate was lower their wearing rate was the younger their ages were and the less their monthly incomes were. Korean costumes were used for holiday and festival(60%), wedding and funeral ceremonies (52%), visiting and working(22%), casual wear(12.8%) and home wear(9.2%). The use of Korean costumes as casual and home wears, was lower than the use for holday, festival, visiting and working, Under our present circumstances in which our Korean people use both Western style clothes and Korean costumer, our Korean costume has lostits position as a basic and necessary requiement in Korean people's daily life and become a ceremonical and fancy costume. It is natural that the times and life change everything in our daily life. Our costume has to be made as good ceremonial and fancy clothes satisfying modern sensibility according to its new role. In order for us to get close with our clothes, a keen study must be carried out to cleat the color, material, style, function and harmony of the Korean costume matching the of the times. (3) The 47.8% of the respondents answered that they were proud of our Korean costume as our folk clothes, 47.6% replied that thought them just common and 1.1% responded that they were ashamed of it. Most of them were affirmative in feeling pride with our Korean costume. (4) Considering the functional aspect of Korean costumes, their strong points were symetric beauty, rhythmical beauty, unity feeling, harmonical beauty and detailed decorations. Their common shortcomings were lack of individuality and inadequateness for active life. The shortcomings of woman costumes were suppressing breast, making resperation difficult and in adequnteness in summer time. The main reason not to wear our Korean costumes, was due to the fact that they are incomvenient for active life. As a measure to eliminate such shortcomings, 1) the suspension system of skirt to remove the suppression of breast should be generally adopted. 2) they should be simplified in their structure to make them convenient for active life and adepuate in wearing them in hot weather in an extent to which the traditional beauty of the costume may not be lostand 3) a new technique must be explored for showing individuality by wearing method and new arrangment of colors and decorations. (5) The reasons desiring to wear Korean costumes were classifide as follows: A. Korean costumes are our traditional clothes(43.4%). B. Korean costumes are noble and beautiful(26.8%). C. They are accustomed to wear Korean costumes by habit(19.5%). D. Korean costumes are necessary for attending ceremoneis(9.5%). E. Miscellaneous reasons(0.8%). Classifying these reasons into age groups, the high age group over 40 wore them because they were easy to wear by habit and the low age group of 10-30 never thought that they were east to wear by habit. Considering that even those who were accustomed to wear Korean costumes showed a low wearing rate and that the young generation were accustomed to wear Western style clothes rather than Korean costumes, the wearing rate of Korean costumes will be reduced in the future if such trend continues. It is urgent for us to make our best efforts in order to enhance the interest of young generation in Korean costumes and not to make them lose the strong points of Korean costume in the future. (6) Conicering the plan of the respondents on what kind of clothes they were going to wear in the future, among the age group over 50, those who wanted to wear only Korean costumes were 24.8%(men) and 35.1%(women), those who wanted to wear 49.7%(men) and 47.4(women), those who wanted to wear chiefly Western style clothes were 20.7% (men) and 14.4%(women) and those who wanted to wear only Western style clothes, were 2.4% (men) and 2.1%(women). This shows that the general tendency to wear only or chiefly Korean costumes is more prevalent than that to wear only Western style. Among the age group under 50, the tendency to wear Western style clothes was conspicuous and most of the respondent answered that they would wear chiefly Western style clothes and Korean costumes occasionally. Only 5.4% of the respondent answered that they would wear only Western style clothes and this shows that meny respondents still wonted to wear Korean costumes. Those who wanted their descendants to wear what they desire, were 50.1%(men) and 68.8% (women) and those who wanted their descendants to wear Koran costumes occasionally, were 85.8%(men) and 86.3%(women). This shows that most of respondents wanted their descendants to wear Korean costumes. In order to realize, it is necessory for us to make ourdescendants recognize the preciousness of our traditional culture and modify our Korean costumes according to their taste so that they may like wearing them.

The study examines the relationships among employee's goal orientation, IT personnel competency, personal effectiveness. The goal orientation includes learning goal orientation, performance approach goal orientation, and performance avoid goal orientation. Personal effectiveness consists of personal work satisfaction and personal work performance. In general, IT personnel competency refers to IT expert's skills, expertise, and knowledge required to perform IT activities in organizations. However, due to the advent of the internet and the generalization of IT, IT personnel competency turns out to be an important competency of technological experts as well as employees in organizations. While the competency of IT itself is important, the appropriate harmony between IT personnel's business capability and technological capability enhances the value of human resources and thus provides organizations with sustainable competitive advantages. The rapid pace of organization change places increased pressure on employees to continually update their skills and adapt their behavior to new organizational realities. This challenge raises a number of important questions concerning organizational behavior? Why do some employees display remarkable flexibility in their behavioral responses to changes in the organization, whereas others firmly resist change or experience great stress when faced with the need to alter behavior? Why do some employees continually strive to improve themselves over their life span, whereas others are content to forge through life using the same basic knowledge and skills? Why do some employees throw themselves enthusiastically into challenging tasks, whereas others avoid challenging tasks? The goal orientation proposed by organizational psychology provides at least a partial answer to these questions. Goal orientations refer to stable personally characteristics fostered by "self-theories" about the nature and development of attributes (such as intelligence, personality, abilities, and skills) people have. Self-theories are one's beliefs and goal orientations are achievement motivation revealed in seeking goals in accordance with one's beliefs. The goal orientations include learning goal orientation, performance approach goal orientation, and performance avoid goal orientation. Specifically, a learning goal orientation refers to a preference to develop the self by acquiring new skills, mastering new situations, and improving one's competence. A performance approach goal orientation refers to a preference to demonstrate and validate the adequacy of one's competence by seeking favorable judgments and avoiding negative judgments. A performance avoid goal orientation refers to a preference to avoid the disproving of one's competence and to avoid negative judgements about it, while focusing on performance. And the study also examines the moderating role of work career of employees to investigate the difference in the relationship between IT personnel competency and personal effectiveness. The study analyzes the collected data using PASW 18.0 and and PLS(Partial Least Square). The study also uses PLS bootstrapping algorithm (sample size: 500) to test research hypotheses. The result shows that the influences of both a learning goal orientation (${\beta}$ = 0.301, t = 3.822, P < 0.000) and a performance approach goal orientation (${\beta}$ = 0.224, t = 2.710, P < 0.01) on IT personnel competency are positively significant, while the influence of a performance avoid goal orientation(${\beta}$ = -0.142, t = 2.398, p < 0.05) on IT personnel competency is negatively significant. The result indicates that employees differ in their psychological and behavioral responses according to the goal orientation of employees. The result also shows that the impact of a IT personnel competency on both personal work satisfaction(${\beta}$ = 0.395, t = 4.897, P < 0.000) and personal work performance(${\beta}$ = 0.575, t = 12.800, P < 0.000) is positively significant. And the impact of personal work satisfaction(${\beta}$ = 0.148, t = 2.432, p < 0.05) on personal work performance is positively significant. Finally, the impacts of control variables (gender, age, type of industry, position, work career) on the relationships between IT personnel competency and personal effectiveness(personal work satisfaction work performance) are partly significant. In addition, the study uses PLS algorithm to find out a GoF(global criterion of goodness of fit) of the exploratory research model which includes a mediating variable, IT personnel competency. The result of analysis shows that the value of GoF is 0.45 above GoFlarge(0.36). Therefore, the research model turns out be good. In addition, the study performs a Sobel Test to find out the statistical significance of the mediating variable, IT personnel competency, which is already turned out to have the mediating effect in the research model using PLS. The result of a Sobel Test shows that the values of Z are all significant statistically (above 1.96 and below -1.96) and indicates that IT personnel competency plays a mediating role in the research model. At the present day, most employees are universally afraid of organizational changes and resistant to them in organizations in which the acceptance and learning of a new information technology or information system is particularly required. The problem is due' to increasing a feeling of uneasiness and uncertainty in improving past practices in accordance with new organizational changes. It is not always possible for employees with positive attitudes to perform their works suitable to organizational goals. Therefore, organizations need to identify what kinds of goal-oriented minds employees have, motivate them to do self-directed learning, and provide them with organizational environment to enhance positive aspects in their works. Thus, the study provides researchers and practitioners with a matter of primary interest in goal orientation and IT personnel competency, of which they have been unaware until very recently. Some academic and practical implications and limitations arisen in the course of the research, and suggestions for future research directions are also discussed.
