Background: Some researchers state that they are not yet able to provide a deep understanding of the underlying causes of unsafe behaviors (UBs). Therefore, the present study was conducted to investigate the attitudes and experiences of Iranian workers of UBs. Methods: This present study was conducted in 35 industries using a semistructured interview based on grounded theory. Forty participants were interviewed, including 13 industrial safety and health experts and 27 workers and supervisors. The analysis of the present study consisted of a three-step coding process including open, axial, and selective coding. Results: The results showed that the factors affecting UBs could be classified into three categories: organizational, individual, and socioeconomic factors. Organizational factors were divided into 6 parts: procedure and environmental conditions, communications, monitoring, organizational safety culture, resource allocation, and human resources. Socioeconomic factors had three subcategories: community safety culture, type of organizational ownership, and economic problems. Finally, the individual factors were classified into two categories of personality traits and individual competence. Conclusion: The results showed that organizational factors were the most categorized, and it is estimated that this factor has a more important role in the UBs. Of course, to better understand the close relationship between these factors and find the weight and importance of each factor, it needs to measure it with multicriteria decision systems.

As healthcare environment being more complex and turbulent, strategic approach of hospitals became more important. This study was to investigate strategic orientation of Korean hospitals and their related characteristics. We surveyed managers of 360 hospitals randomly selected from all hospitals in Korea. For typology of strategic orientation, we used that developed by Miles and Snow, and results are as follows. Firstly, major types of organizational strategic orientation of Korean hospitals were analyzer(42.0%) and prospector(34.0%). Secondly, characteristics affecting to hospitals' strategic orientation significantly were hospital ownership and sex of managers. Medical corporation had a high tendency of prospector strategic orientation by 2.7 times compared to personal ownership. Female managers had a low tendency of prospector strategic orientation by 0.2, which was statistically significant. Though 60+ age group (compared to twenties and thirties) and middle managers (compared to CEO) had a tendency of being more prospector strategic orientation, but insignificant. The study result that majority of strategic orientation were prospector and analyzer reflects Korean hospital environment are complex and unstable. Hospital managers need to more focus on environment and boundary spanning function for maintenance and survival of their organizations.

The paper aims to investigate the relationship between firm size and organizational actions on adopting social media for corporate reputation management. The sample group of 198 companies is selected with a simple random sample method from the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) listings: Sixty nine companies were from the Fortune 500 listings, seventy one companies from the NYSE midsize capitalization and fifty eight companies from the NYSE small capitalization listings. This study employs cross tabulations and Chi-square analysis, and the Kruskal-Wallis that enables the comparison of three samples that are independent. The results of the study show that (1) large firms have more social media ownership than small firms, (2) large firms respond to social media posts at a greater frequency and quickly than small firms, and (3) firm size is less likely associated with response styles to social media for online reputation management. The results show that reply time and response styles of organizations to social media customers in the 2015 survey has no significant change compared to that of 2011. There appears to be a pervasive lack strategic framework as most firms in the study were found not to be adequately monitoring or leveraging social media communication for their reputation management.

This study examines the relationship between employee engagement and goal orientation toward competence. In addition, it also examines the relationship between competence and employee performance in financial institutions in Indonesia. Questionnaires were distributed to several employees who work at financial institutions in Aceh, North Sumatra, and Riau. The basis for selecting the research object was that most financial institutions have similar business products. The similarities are the marketing of home loan ownership products and multipurpose investments. The three study regions are located in western Indonesia's most central provinces and have a significant amount of trade. The sampling technique used was purposive sampling based on specific criteria for the respondents. 275 employees made up the research sample, and partial least squares data analysis methods were applied. In data analysis, initial testing was carried out on the components of the research statement items to see their validity and reliability. The results of this study indicate that employee engagement behavior can improve employee performance, which improves financial institutions' organizational performance. The study's findings offer suggestions for policies and guidelines that will encourage productive work behavior among employees and boost organizational performance.

대학도서관을 둘러싼 주위 환경이 많이 변했고 이용자에 대한 서비스 향상을 도모하는 차원에서 대학도서관은 조직구조를 개편할 필요가 있다. 정보기술의 발달과 새로운 매체의 등장과 이용자 정보이용 행태 변화와 대학자체의 경쟁력강화 노력 확대 등으로 인해 95년을 기점으로 우리 나라 대학도서관은 주제별 조직을 채택하기 시작하였다. 주제별 조직은 단행본, 연속간행물, 학위논문, 온라인 DB등과 같이 형태를 기준으로 분산 비치되어 있는 각각의 자료를 주제별로 한 곳에 비치한 주제실을 운영하고 도서관업무도 주제실을 중심으로 조직하하는 것을 말한다. 대학도서관 이용자는 교수와 학생으로 이루어져 있고 이용자 개개인은 특정한 주제분야의 전공자라는 특성이 있어 전공하고 있는 주제분야의 장서를 집중적으로 이용하는 행태를 보이고 있다. 주제 중심적인 이용자의 이용행태를 바탕으로 대학 도서관의 조직구조를 개편하는 것은 이용자 만족도를 높이는 좋은 방안이라 할 수 있다. 국내의 대규모 대학도서관 73개관 가운데 주제별 조직을 채택하고 있는 도서관은 현재 34개관으로 전체의 46.6%이고 나머지는 기능별 조직 또는 자료형태별 조직 또는 이 두 형태를 결합한 조직구조를 택하고 있는 것으로 나타났다. 현재 주제별 조직을 채택하고 있지 않은 대학도서관은 앞으로 이용자의 요구를 최대한 수용한 서비스 제공에 주안점을 두어야 하며 이를 위해 주제별 조직으로의 개편을 검토해야할 것이다.

코로나19 사태를 겪으면서, 조직들은 지식 자원의 체계적인 관리가 조직 내 업무 효율성 및 성과를 높임을 인식하게 되었으며, 지식관리에 많은 투자를 하고 있다. 하지만, 지속성 관점에서 지식관리 체계가 확립되기 위해서는 조직원의 능동적인 지식공유 참여 활동이 요구된다. 본 연구는 개인이 지식을 소유하고자 하는 관점인 지식축적을 적용하고, 조직 환경, 개인 특성, 업무 특성을 반영하여 지식축적 원인에 대한 메커니즘을 설명하고자 한다. 연구는 지식관리 정책 또는 시스템을 구축한 기업에 다니는 근로자를 대상으로 설문하였으며, 확보한 381건의 표본을 AMOS 22.0과 Process 3.1 매크로에 반영하여 가설을 검정하였다. 결과는 지식공유에 대한 분배 불공정성이 지식공유와 관련된 관계 갈등을 유발하여, 개인의 지식축적을 높이는 것으로 나타났다. 또한, 인센티브 민감성이 분배 불공정성과 상호작용 효과를 일으켜 지식축적을 높였으며, 업무 상호작용성이 분배 불공정성 및 관계 갈등과 상호작용 효과를 일으켜 지식축적을 감소시켰다. 본 연구의 결과는 조직 내부의 지식축적을 억제하기 위한 조직의 지식관리 전략의 수립에 기여 한다.

This research examines the spatial development of rural industrial estates (Nong-gong Jigu) in Chonbuk province and gives insight into the strategies for economic development in the entire region. Selected location factors which are likely to pull new investment into the estates are examined by using questionnaires. Few loction factors except nonlocal factors can be found in explaining why location choices are made. The irrelevance of the analysis based on location factors suggests that an alternative approach should analyze changes in the spatial development of the rural industrial estates. Such an alternative is to understand the dynamics of the spatial organization of production by focusing on characteistics of plant closing in the rural industrial estates. To take into account of the characteristics of plant closing we provide the hypothesized relationships between employment size, organizational structure, inter and intra industrial linkage, characteristics of production processes, and availability of local labor market and the likelihood of closing. A logit model is then made to identify the selected factors which might influence the probability of plant closing. The results from the logit analysis and their implications suggest that the policy should be more concerned with the characteristics of firms, such as size and ownership, as well as of the local labor markets. Given that the Chonbuk region has experienced rapid population decline, together with its poor industrial base, it seems that the success of the policy in the declined rural areas in less certain.

This study investigates determinants of talent retention in textile and garment companies located in Vietnam's Binh Duong province to propose feasible actions for their sustainable development in the current context of competition on the labor market. This study uses self-completed questionnaires to collect data which are then analysed with statistical methods including scale reliability, exploratory factor analysis, and multiple linear regression. Specifically, results from an official survey of 129 people who are regarded as talents in related companies show that there are ten determinants, ranked in descending order of their importance, including: working environment; training and promotion opportunities; salary and benefits; personal loyalty; relationship with colleagues; nature of work; organizational recognition; type of ownership; relationship with superiors; and working experience. Moreover, it is also found that foreign companies are better in retaining their talents than private domestic ones. These findings suggest that, depending on their available resources, organizations need to focus on some of these factors to improve their talent retention; among them, it is critical to provide creative space or create conductive working environment by providing talents with proper tools and equipment for them to feel excited with their work and get things done in an optimal, efficient and effective manner.

In spite of effective curative therapy, morbidity and mortality remain high for hospitalized patients with tuberculosis(TB) in Korea. The purpose of this study was to identify patient and hospital characteristics associated with hospital care outcome. Using annual patient survey data produced by Korea Institute for Health and Social Affair, we identified 8,562 hospital discharge with primary diagnosis of TB. Logistic regression analyses were performed on a model that included age, gender, residence area, insurance status, hospital admission source, length of stay, hospital ownership and class of hospital as the explanatory variables and outcome of treatments as the dependent variable. The results show that negative outcome was associated with the patients older than 65 years, medical aid beneficiary, admission through emergency department, and the patients admitted to public owned hospitals. On the other hand, the patients who were admitted to teaching hospitals were associated with positive outcome. To improve hospital treatment outcome of TB patients, more vigorous strategies should be implemented targeting the older and poor population in regard to social support as well as the clinical management and prevention.
