Purpose: This study was conducted in order to understand the influence of professionalism on job satisfaction and job performance of the physical therapist. Methods: Subjects were 148 physical therapists. We conducted a questionnaire survey on professionalism, job satisfaction, and job performance. Professionalism questions were 'Compliance of professional organization', 'Beliefs about public service', 'Autonomy', 'Beliefs about self-regulation', and 'Vocation awareness of the profession'. A regression analysis was then performed. Results: The subjects' average score for professionalism was $3.18{\pm}0.31$ points. The lowest score for satisfaction was observed for 'Compliance of professional organization'. Professionalism had an effect on job satisfaction. 'Vocation awareness of the profession (${\beta}=0.44$, p<0.001)', 'Beliefs about public service (${\beta}=0.25$, p<0.01)', and 'Autonomy (${\beta}=0.17$, p<0.05)' had an effect on job satisfaction. R square=0.46 (adjusted R square=0.45). Professionalism had an effect on job performance. 'Autonomy (${\beta}=0.29$), p<0.001)', 'Vocation awareness of the profession (${\beta}=0.22$, p<0.05)', and 'Beliefs about self-regulation (${\beta}=0.18$, p<0.05)' had an effect on job performance. R square=0.25 (adjusted R square=0.22). Conclusion: The results of this study indicate that in order to improve job satisfaction and job performance, it is necessary to improve professionalism. Therefore physical therapists should improve their professionalism ('Compliance of professional organization', 'Beliefs about public service', 'Autonomy', 'Beliefs about self-regulation', and 'Vocation awareness of the profession') in order to improve their job satisfaction and job performance.

The success of a construction project hinges on the effective and efficient management of human resources. The stress of human resources is directly related with work performance, and as such, should be managed to improve work performance. This study examined the correlation between job stress and job satisfaction among building construction project managers. A questionnaire to measure work performance was created by referring to the Korean Occupational Stress Questionnaire Short Form developed by the Korean Occupational Safety & Health Agency, as well as a previous study. The mean job satisfaction score of field managers was 3.6, which suggests that they are generally satisfied in their current job environment. A Pearson's correlation analysis showed that the field managers that were satisfied with their job had less job stress. These results could be used for the effective management of construction site managers and to improve their job performance in the field.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between job performance, job importance and job satisfaction in dental hygienists' preventive dental treatment. The subjects in the questionnaire survey were 275 dental hygienists in the Mokpo from October 7 to October 14, 2016. Statistical analysis was performed using SPSS Ver. 18.0. According to the analysis of the job performance, and job importance of preventive dental care tasks, the total score of 3.35±0.60, 3.85±0.51, respectively. Job performance was highest in scaling (4.24±0.90), and lowest in oral microbiological examination (2.40±1.14). Job importance was highest in scaling (4.49±0.77), and lowest in oral microbiological examination(3.04±0.85). As a result of analyzing the job satisfaction of preventive dental care tasks, the overall average was 3.23±0.40 out of 5 points. Patient relationship was the highest (3.71±0.66), working environment 3.55±0.77, staff relation 3.48±0.63, dental organization 3.27±0.73, professional support 3.21±0.67 and prospect of career 3.13 ± 0.58. remuneration 2.80±0.58, and workload 2.68±0.57, respectively. The correlation coefficients were 0.263 (job performance and job satisfaction), 0.211 (job importance and job satisfaction), and 0.461 (job performance and job importance) statistically significantly. The results of this study suggest that the higher job performance and job importance in preventive dental treatment, the more job satisfaction. Therefore, it is necessary to expand the dental hygienist's preventive dental treatment tasks and provide educational support to do this. Also, it is necessary to develop an oral preventive management program to improve the professionalism of the dental hygienist and improve job satisfaction.

Purpose: This study aimed to improve nursing practice efficiency by analyzing and comparing the emotional labor, job stress, and performance of nurses in comprehensive nursing care wards and in general wards. Methods: The study surveyed 151 nurses in comprehensive nursing care and general wards. The results were analyzed by ${\chi}$ 2test, ANOVA, and Pearson's correlation coefficient. Results: There were no statistically significant differences in terms of emotional labor, job stress, and performance for the two different types of nurses. Statistically significant positive correlations were noted between job stress and emotional labor, nursing performance, emotional labor, and job stress in the comprehensive nursing care wards, and between job stress and emotional labor, and nursing performance in the general wards. Conclusion: A longer duration of direct nursing in comprehensive nursing care wards tended to increase, emotional labor and job stress. However, the quality of nursing provided to patients tended to improve. Therefore, it is necessary to establish an institutional plan for carrying out efficient nursing while reducing emotional labor and job stress among nurses in comprehensive nursing care wards.

Purpose: This study aimed to analyze the job performance efficiency of nurses in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) by using the Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA). Additionally, the study aimed to provide a detailed method to improve the currently inefficient way in which nurses perform their jobs by differentiating the reference group of more efficient nurses, and to compare the characteristics of the more efficient group of nurses to those of the less efficient group of nurses. Methodology: This study evaluated the relative job performance efficiency of nurses by applying DEA to 43 nurses in the NICU. The input variables for the efficiency analysis were working career (years), time spent in direct nursing care (hours), overtime (hours), and job-related training (hours); the output variables were the job performance scores of professional practice, research, leadership, and education. Data were analyzed using SPSS IBM 23.0 and Open Source DEA (OSDEA). Findings: The relative job performance efficiency of the 43 nurses was 0.933, and 20 nurses were evaluated as more efficient. In addition, the study confirmed the possibility of improving the overall job performance efficiency by improving leadership, while controlling the current input variables. Lastly, the more efficient nurses had significantly higher job performance scores for research (t=2.028, p=0.049), leadership (t=2.036, p=0.048), and education (t=2995, p=0.005) than those who were less efficient. Practical Implications: It is suggested that job performance be evaluated using DEA to improve the overall job performance efficiency of NICU nurses. The analysis results from DEA for nurses becomes evidence in support of establishing individualized goals for each nurse, thus resulting in a foundation for systematic human resource management of nurses, and ultimately contributing to increase in the job performance efficiency of nurses.
