The relationship between the performance measures and the acceptance of evaluation has been of importance not only in the academic field but in the business area. However, there had not been many studies on the factors which affect the goal core, that is, specificity and difficulty. The previous literature on the evaluation of measures has limitations in that the common and unique measures without suggesting the concept of shared measures are used. Thus, the purpose of this study is to examine the effects of the environmental characteristics of the goal setting on the result and acceptance of the evaluation, which is mediated by the characteristics of the goal core. This study further tests if there are any moderating effects from using the shared measures of performance.

This study aims to investigate the importance of author keyword with analysis the position of author keyword in journal. In the first stage, an analysis was carried out on the position of author keyword. We examined the importance of author keyword by using degree centrality, closeness centrality, betweenness centrality, eigenvector centrality and effective size of structural hole. In the next stage, We performed analysis on correlation between network centrality measures and the position of author keyword. The result of correlation analysis on network centrality measures and the position of author keyword shows that there are the more significant areas of the result of the correlation analysis on degree centrality, betweenness centrality and the position of keyword. In addition, These results show that we need to consider that the possible way as measuring the importance of author keyword in journal is not only a term frequency but also degree centrality and betweenness centrality.

BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVES: The present study investigated Korean and Taiwan adults on the importance of and the satisfaction with street food sanitation and street food choice factor, in order to present management and improvement measures for street foods. SUBJECTS/METHODS: The present study conducted a survey on 400 randomly chosen adults (200 Korean, 200 Taiwanese). General characteristics, eating habits, street food intake frequency, and preference by type of street food of respondents were checked. Respondents' importance and satisfaction of street food hygiene and selection attributes were also measured. In order to test for the difference between groups, ${\chi}^2-test$ and t-test were performed. ISA was also performed to analyze importance and satisfaction. RESULTS: Results showed that the importance of sanitation was significantly higher than satisfaction on all items in both Korea and Taiwan, and the satisfaction with sanitation was higher in Taiwan than in Korea. According to ISA results with street food sanitation, satisfaction was low while importance was high in both Korea and Taiwan. In terms of street food choice factor, importance scores were significantly higher than satisfaction scores on all items. In addition, satisfaction scores on all items except 'taste' were significantly higher in Taiwan than in Korea. CONCLUSIONS: A manual on sanitation management of street foods should be developed to change the knowledge and attitude toward sanitation by putting into practice a regularly conducted education. Considering the popularity of street foods and its potential as a tourism resource to easily publicize our food culture, thorough management measures should be prepared on sanitation so that safe street food culture should be created.

Purpose This paper attempts to identify items for improving the usage of PLM(Product Lifecycle Management) systems and suggests ways to prioritize improvement items on the basis of importance. It also tries to find out differences in the importance of improvement items due to the company size, the industry, the job, or the PLM solution. Design/methodology/approach Through a survey from participants to a PLM System Conference, data were collected from a sample of 181 users who had the previous experience in using a PLM system. In order to figure out the differences in the importance among user groups, the F-test with the Scheffe test as a post-hoc analysis was used in case of equal variances and the Welch test with the Dunnett T3 test was used in case of unequal variances. Findings This study sorted out 25 improvement ideas according to their importance assessed by the PLM system users. The top five ideas are improving data consistency, error minimization, fast system response time, enhancing user recognition, and business process improvement. The support group puts higher importance than the general user group in data consistency, fast system response time, enhancing user recognition, business process improvement, dedicated team for data consistency, continuous support from management, hardware performance upgrade, output linkage to other systems, and shortening problem solving duration. The largest company group attaches significantly higher weights than the smallest company group to data consistency, error minimization, fast system response time, business process improvement, dedicated team for data consistency, security with proper access management, output linkage to other systems, and better user interface.

The flow network is considered to be in a functioning state if it can transmit a maximum flow which is greater than or equal to a specified amount of flow. In this paper we consider the measures of importance of a link in the flow network. We define the structural importance and reliability importance of link when the required amount of flow is given. Also, we present the performance importance of link in a flow network. The performance importance can be used to determine which links should be improved first in order to make the greatest improvement in performance of the network. Numerical examples are presented for illustrative purpose.

A network, where links have different capacities, is considered to be in functioning state if a specified amount of flow can be transmitted through the network. In this paper, we consider the measures of importance of a link in such networks. We define the structural importance and reliability importance of a link when the required amount of flow is given. We also present the performability importance, which can be used to determine which links should be improved first in order to make the greatest improvement in the expected maximum flow of network. Numerical examples are presented as well for illustrative purpose.

This study aimed to verify the validity of the evaluation items and weight determination of the indoor environmental safety area, which has the most frequent accidents, among the safety certification evaluations of educational facilities by the Ministry of Education of the Republic of Korea, which has been conducted since May 2021. As a preceding study, the evaluation items of the school safety evaluation checklist being implemented in the US state of Vermont were compared, and the causes of accidents judged by teachers in the accident experiences written by 200 Korean teachers were compared with the safety certification evaluation items belonged to the Ministry of Education. In addition, research literature using the AHP analysis technique on safety risks of elementary and secondary schools in China and safety evaluation index study cases of 539 elementary school children in Indonesia were analyzed. Through these preceding studies, measures to add and adjust evaluation items were derived and the validity and importance rankings of evaluation items were calculated through AHP questionnaires to teachers and safety experts. In addition, a survey was conducted on 104 ordinary people to verify the results of expert analysis. As a result of expert AHP analysis, 'safety education and disaster response training (.396)' was the highest priority for the relative importance of the first layer, followed by 'safety measures (.387)' and 'building materials'. Safety (.216)' was found to be the highest priority. In the overall importance ranking of the 13 second-tier screening items, safety accident prevention education had the highest priority and disaster preparedness training ranked second, proving that the Ministry of Education's review weight was underestimated. In addition, slip and collision accident countermeasures, which were not in the existing Ministry of Education review items, ranked 4th, laboratory practice room safety measures ranked 6th, and sanitation, cleanliness, hazardous substance management, and cafeteria/cooking room safety measures ranked 9th, indicating a significant level of importance. Referring to the importance ranking, which is the result of this study, it is suggested that it is necessary to review the weight of each review item again.

Following the idea of "what you measure is what you get," this paper discusses the necessity to improve the plan and management of Application Service Provider (ASP) service based on performance evaluation. The Balanced Scorecard (BSC) has been used as a tool for suggesting the measures that can evaluate performance of a company by considering both financial and non-financial perspectives. The current BSC does not provide techniques to formally define, verify, implement and analyze the performance measures of ASP. Therefore, we developed a methodology for strategy development of ASP service by analyzing the BSC performance measures. This methodology provides a strategy for improving ASP service. The methodology proposed in this paper provide executives with core parts for achieving vision as well as the corresponding interpretation model for developing strategy. The methodology consists of the following two phases: BSC and Importance-Performance Analysis (IPA) phase. The methodology is illustrated through a case study in each phase. The case study shows practical deployment of our methodology.
