Purpose: This study aimed to identify the factors influencing job satisfaction among peer support workers who assist individuals with mental disorders. Methods: A descriptive cross-sectional study design was used. The participants included 134 peer support workers who were active in the community. Data were collected using self-administered questionnaires between April 22 and June 5, 2024. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, independent t-tests, one-way ANOVA, Pearson's correlation coefficient, and multiple regression analysis using SPSS 26.0. Results: The results indicated that psychological empowerment (β=.62; p<.001) and perceived stigma (β=-.17; p=.011) were significant influencing factors influencing job satisfaction. The regression model accounted for 53.6% of the variance in job satisfaction (F=52.17; p<.001). Conclusion: The findings of this study suggest that psychological empowerment and perceived stigma are important determinants of job satisfaction among peer support workers for individuals with mental illness. Therefore, interventions that enhance psychological empowerment and reduce perceived stigma are essential to improving job satisfaction for these peer support workers.

Despite the recent importance of interdisciplinary convergence research, little has been studied on the detailed experience while conducting convergence research in Korea. To deeper understand challenges and overcoming in convergence research and to suggest an administrative system for it, by analyzing researchers experience and cognition while conducting their actual convergence research, in-depth interviews with 16 full-time faculty members with expertise in convergence research and research administration in a university and analyzed the interviews by using the paradigm model of grounded theory. The results show that the core phenomenon researchers experienced is that "convergence research is not being effectively conducted," and they experience growth in research through pursuing efforts and improving research atmosphere in various aspects. Based on these findings, we made several suggestions for promoting convergence research.

This study examined the influence of case management implementation factors on mentally ill person's quality of life based on case managers and clients who are from Mental Health Total Care voucher agencies. Hierarchical Lineral Model was used to verify client factors, case manager factors, agency factors and service providing factors. For the first time in our nation, major findings were found that case manager's career and intervention range have influence on mentally ill persons's quality of life, and that there is no influence for the caseload below 20 cases per one person. The practical implication was suggested about usefulness of case manager's career, caseload and intervention range within local social community system.

Nowadays, smartphones have become a portable multimedia computer because of a variety of useful applications in our daily lives, which can be downloaded and installed easily in smartphones. Despite of the fact that, however in the IS literature there has been little research on smartphone applications' user interface design. Specifically, there has been little understanding about smartphone users' cognitive functions as a mediating variable in the relationship between the user interface design of smartphone applications and users' work performance with the applications. Thus, the research aims of this study are to examine 1) the effects of the user interface design attributes including simplicity, consistency, and metaphor on the compliance with or the extension of users' mental models representing users' cognitive functions, and 2) the effects of the users' cognitive functions on their work performance with the applications. A survey was conducted and Structural Equation Modeling(SEM) was employed to analyze the data. The results of this study showed that two of the user interface design attributes, simplicity and consistency, strongly affected users' cognitive functions. In addition, users' cognitive functions significantly influenced users' work performance. However, there was no relationship between the metaphors in the user interfaces of smartphone applications and the compliance with users' mental model. This study contributed theoretically not only to explore users' mental models that are rarely investigated in the IS field, but also to add some findings related to users' cognitive functions to the IS literature. This study also can help practitioners to develop more user friendly user interfaces of smartphone applications by suggesting the design attributes, such as simplicity, consistency, and metaphor.

To improve usability and recognition of product, the term, Affordance, started to be known in the design world by US recognitive psychologist, Donald A. Norman, has the meaning of providing, Act inducement, Act motivation, Expectancy or what environment provides, etc., thus as one of Mental Model, providing ever more importance not only to the everyday life goods but to the time like these days when products for information overflow. Particularly, this study is oriented toward providing basic study framework on Affordance-like approach in pursuing psychological approach in design for changing the limitless phenomena involved in environment and human body and further for inquiring into source of idea from abstract form hint latent in act and further from the act conducted everyday while peoples are unconscious.

This study investigates the differences in the purchasing behavior of infant & children's wear with the features of children and consumers. This study conducted a survey on female buyers of infant & children's wear. 558 questionnaires were analyzed by using SPSS 18.0 statistic program with factor analysis, Cronbach's ${\alpha}$, cluster analysis, ANOVA, and paired t-test. The results are as follows: 1. The buyer's value was identified with 3 factors: mental achievement value, social achievement value, and pleasure value. Three types of group by values were identified: group seeking mental social achievement, group seeking social achievement, and group seeking pleasure. 2. Fashion and conformity, pleasure pursuit, and reasonable price pursuit orientations showed significant differences among the value groups. 3. A significant difference was found in the imitation of wearing role models according to sibling relationships.

디지털 매체의 사용자들의 사용 모형이 변화하고 있다. RSS, 태그(tag), Ajax, Open API 등 사용자 참여를 향상시키는 Web 2.0 기술을 포함하여 정보 기기 및 인터페이스의 발전은 사용자들의 매체사용에 대한 범위와 역할을 크게 향상시키고 있다. 이제 사용자는 더 이상 정보수용자의 입장이 아닌 정보제공자의 입장에서 매체에 접근하고 있다. 이와 같은 현상은 우리에게 두 가지 중요한 연구문제를 제시한다, 첫째, 사용자들은 기술변화를 어떻게 인지하고 있으며, 어떤 학습의 과정을 거치고 있는가? 혹은 어떤 어려움을 겪고 있는가? 둘째, 변화하는 기술에 따른 사용자들의 요구변화의 양상은 디지털매체를 통한 정보제공을 통하여 수익을 발생시키는 기업의 사용자와의 상호작용을 어떻게 변화하게 하고 있는가? 이와 같은 연구문제를 해결하기 위하여 창조적 사용자의 인지적 모형을 점검하고, 차세대 기술변화에 따른 사회적 컴퓨팅의 진화를 근거이론을 통하여 분석해 보고자 한다.

Team-members may have diverse backgrounds and characteristics and such diversity is getting increased in teams in terms of demographics(gender, age, and educations) and capabilities(knowledge, skills, and experiences). A meta-analysis of the last 40 years studies, however, concluded that diversity in teams does not have the consistent main effect on team performances. On the other hand, according to theories of selection and socialization, similarity in values, backgrounds, and experiences buttress the positive and effective working environment. Therefore, we conduct an empirical study in favor of similarity in work teams for the sake of team effectiveness. We investigated the importance of the similarity of team-members on IT team effectiveness. Two aspects of similarity, demographic and cognitive, were considered together. The shared mental model(SMM) was introduced as the representative construct for the cognitive similarity. We found that SMM is more important than the demographic similarities on team effectiveness.

본 연구에서는 기존의 키패드 조작방식에 익숙해져 있던 모바일 폰 이용자가 새로운 터치스크린 모바일 폰으로 기종을 변경하였을 때 생성하는 멘탈모델의 특징에 대하여 고찰하였다. 먼저, 터치스크린 모바일 폰의 기능 가운데서 가장 사용 빈도가 높은 상위 7개의 기능에 대한 실험과제를 설정하여 비디오 관찰실험을 실시하였다. 다음으로 수집된 데이터를 프로토콜 분석법을 이용하여 사용자의 조작과 관련된 사고의 변용과정을 분석하였다. 분석결과 키패드 조작방식에 익숙해져 있던 피험자들은 실험이 거듭될수록 새로운 터치스크린 모바일 폰의 조작과정에 적응하기 위하여 버튼이나 화면에 탭, 더블 탭 등 컴퓨터 운영시스템(윈도우)과 웹 브라우저 상의 내비게이션과 관련된 지식을 이용하여 멘탈모델을 수정하려는 경향이 있었다.
