  • The current research aims to examine how workplace ostracism influences employee turnover-oriented intention and investigates the mediating role of job burnout in the workplace ostracism - turnover relationship. Drawing on conservation of resource theory, we hypothesize that higher levels of workplace ostracism develop employee turnover through job burnout. Precisely, we predict that workplace ostracism is positively associated with turnover intention, both directly and indirectly via job burnout. To test our theoretical model, we collected field data from 311 banking employees in Pakistan. Structural equation modeling is used to test the relationship between workplace ostracism and employee turnover intention. The empirical findings reveal that workplace ostracism is positively associated with turnover intention. Furthermore, the relationship between workplace ostracism and turnover intention is mediated by job burnout. By using job burnout as a mediator, the present study sheds light on "why" workplace ostracism is related to employee turnover intention. In doing so, the present research provides a comprehensive understanding of the negative effects of ostracism on the workplace. This has subsequently provided practitioners with new insight into how to reduce employee turnover in organizations. We conclude by discussing the future directions and practical implications of our study.

  • Background: Organizational ostracism is defined as a violation of norms that we are suggested to acknowledge at the workplace. It results in the exclusion of one person or multiple persons, and causes damage to our innate need to belong. This kind of behaviorism can be engaged through a hierarchical or nonhierarchical relationship. Three elements interact in the framework of organizational ostracism: the actor, the target, and the institution. Our aim was to describe the different factors interacting with every element in order to produce recommendations targeting to prevent the occurrence of such behaviorism in an institution and to help targets of such a violence in order to handle this situation and go forward. As psychological impact of ostracism has frequently been studied in the literature, we focused on its impact on professional tasks. Methods: We performed a questionnaire-based study about organizational ostracism. This questionnaire was established through an online platform (https://www.sondageonline.com) and made available through the following link: https://goo.gl/forms/KrkVXe3bMEc79cau2. A keyword was sent to all participants. We created a 23-interrogation questionnaire with open and short questions. Nonwritten consent was obtained from all participants. Results: The actor of ostracism engaged in ostracism, in most of the cases, with other persons without a real purpose. The actor of ostracism had an antecedent of problematic relationship at work in 82.9% of the cases. Of the participants, 58.5% were of the view that ostracism aimed to cause hurt and isolate them. Professional isolation was observed in 58.5% of the cases; 51.2% of the participants tried to improve their work potential and explained their reaction by an intrinsic motivation. The organization atmosphere was judged to be bad in most of the cases. Conclusion: Our study showed that ostracism was mainly observed in public practice.

  • Purpose - The purpose of this study is to examine the impact of leader-member exchange (LMX) on employees' behaviors as well as to test the mediating roles of feeling trusted in the relationships. Research design, data, and methodology - Survey data were collected and analyzed from 285 sales people who work for various organizations in eastern China. The corresponding research models were verified using SPSS 22 and Amos 22. Results - The empirical results show that LMX plays a positive role in job performance and is positively related with subordinate's feelings of trust. However, the study was shown to have negative correlations between LMX and workplace ostracism. Feeling trusted by superiors mediated the relationship between LMX and job performance, resulting in employees being more motivated to do better, creating a positive synergetic effect. However, this relationship did not show to have significant mediating effects on the relationship between LMX and workplace ostracism. Conclusions - This study further enriches the relevant theory of LMX and has significance for management practices such as distribution sectors, guiding leaders to create a suitable team atmosphere. Leaders need to pay attention to build a high quality LMX with employees based on the empirical results of this study.

  • 본 연구는 사회적 배제 상황에 직면한 개인의 심리를 즉각적(reflexive), 숙고적(reflective) 그리고 체념(resignation) 단계로 설명한 Williams(2009)의 욕구위협모델(need-threat temporal model of ostracism)에 기초하여, 대기업 임원들의 비자발적 퇴직을 알아보았다. 대기업 퇴직 임원 15명을 심층면담하고 그 내용을 현상학적 방법으로 분석하였다. 그 결과, 욕구위협모델의 즉각적 단계에서 그들은 퇴직 직후 '인지적 공황'과 '정서적 공황'을 경험했다. 퇴직 통보라는 예기치 못한 충격적 경험으로 인해 사고의 마비를 가장 먼저 경험했으며, 그 다음 나타나는 부정적 정서를 인지적으로 억압하여 드러내지 않으려 했다. 숙고적 단계에서 퇴직자들은 '과거자신이 가장 잘 나가던 모습으로 완전한 복원'을 꿈꾸지만, 이런 기대가 좌절되는 상황에서 '비현실적 사고', '자기기만'과 '책임전가'로. 인해 현실에 더욱 부적응하게 되었다. 체념단계에서, 장기간의 욕구충족 실패는 그들에게 패배감과 무력감을 경험하게 했다. 이러한 결과를 Williams의 욕구위협모델과 비교 및 검토하였으며, 이러한 결과가 국가, 기업 그리고 퇴직자에게 은퇴에 대한 대처 관련 시사점을 논의했다.

  • 본 연구는 학교폭력의 피해자를 대상으로 정신병리에 대한 특성을 알아내고, 조기 정신병과의 관계를 규명함을 기본 목적으로 시행되었다. 더 나아가서는 조기정신병의 발견과 아울러, 조기 치료를 시행함으로써 심각한 정신병의 예방을 도모하고자 하였다. 서울시 전 구역 중 16개 중학교를 선정하여 중학교 1, 2학년 남 ${\cdot}$ 녀 학생에게 간이정신진단검사, 피어스-해리스 자아상 검사의 인기도와 학교 적응 소척도, 저자들이 개발한 따돌림 척도를 배포하여 따돌림을 당하는 정도의 점수가 평균보다 통계적으로 유의하게 차이가 나는 대상을 선정하고, 이들 중에서 스스로 인기가 없다고 여기면서 정신병적 증상이 유의하게 높게 보고된 대상을 선정하여'정신병의 전구기에 있는 군'으로 판정하여, 이들의 대상의 수를 계산하여 위험도를 산출하고, 정신병 전구기에 있다고 판단되는 대상의 임상적 특성을 상관 분석 및 회귀 분석을 통해 정신병적 증상과 관련된 임상적 척도들을 파악하였다. 결과는 다음과 같다. 1) 따돌림 척도에서 통계적으로 유의하게 높은 점수를 받은 군은 총 157명(5.3%)이었고, 그 중에서 47명(29.9%)이 간이정신진단검사의 정신병적 증상 수치가 유의하게 높았다. 따돌림 척도에서 높지 않은 점수를 보인 2,135명 중 정신병적 증상이 높은 군은 50명이어서, 따돌림 척도에서 높게 나온 군의 정신병적 증상이 높게 나올 위험도(odds ratio)는 17.8이었다. 이는 통계적으로 유의한 수치였다(${\chi}^2$=274.8, df=1, p<0.05). 즉 따돌림을 당한다고 호소한 집단은 정신병적 증상이 유의하게 높았고, 이를 통해 왕따 피해자는 정신병 발병 위험이 통계적으로 유의하게 높다고 할 수 있었다. 2) 자신은 남들에게 인기도 없고, 따돌림을 당한다고 여기며 정신병적 증상을 가진 군(47명, 남자 31명, 여자 16명)은 단순히 정신병적 증상이 높은 군에 비해 불안 척도, 우울증 척도, 공격성, 대인 민감성, 학교 및 사회 적응 척도, 강박증상 척도, 공포불안 척도, 정신병적 증상, 신체적 증상 호소 등에서는 차이를 보이지 않았으나 자신이 따돌림을 받는다는 호소와 편집증은 더 높게 측정되었다. 그리고, 학교폭력 피해자 중에서 정신병적 증상이 유의하게 높게 측정되었고, 스스로 인기가 없다고 생각하는 대상들에서는, 불안 증상, 우울증, 공격성, 대인 예민성, 강박증상, 편집증, 신체 증상 호소 등이 정신병적 증상을 잘 설명해주었다 ($r^2$=0.93). 즉, 따돌림을 당한다고 호소한 집단은 정신병적 증상이 유의하게 높았고, 이를 통해 왕따 피해자는 정신병 발병 위험이 통계적으로 유의하게 높다고 할 수 있었다. 이를 통해서 따돌림과 같은 학교폭력 피해자가 불안증상, 우울증, 공격성, 대인 예민성, 강박증상, 편집증, 신체 증상 호소와 같은 문제를 보였을 경우에는 정신병적 증상 유무와 학교 적응, 집중력 장애, 사고개념 형성 장애 등을 확인하여 정신병의 진단을 고려해야 한다고 할 수 있다.

  • School bullying has become a major social problem in Korea after the emergence of media reports on children who committed suicide after being victimized by bullies. In this article, we review the characteristics of bullying, and investigate the role of the pediatrician in the prevention of and intervention against bullying and school violence. Bullying can take on many forms such as physical threat, verbal humiliation, malicious rumors, and social ostracism. The prevalence of bullying in various countries is approximately 10% to 20%. In Korea, the prevalence of school violence is similar but seems to be more intense because of the highly competitive environment. From our review of literature, we found that children who were bullied had a significantly higher risk of developing psychosomatic and psychosocial problems such as headache, abdominal pain, anxiety, and depression than those who were not bullied. Hence, it is important for health practitioners to detect these signs in a child who was bullied by questioning and examining the child, and to determine whether bullying plays a contributing role when a child exhibits such signs. Pediatricians can play an important role in the prevention of or intervention against school violence along with school authorities, parents, and community leaders. Moreover, guidelines to prevent school violence, such as the Olweus Bullying Prevention Program, KiVa of the Finish Ministry of Education, and Connected Kids: Safe, Strong, Secure of the American Academy Pediatrics, should be implemented.

  • 본 연구는 전과정 평가에 기초한 패시브 공동주택의 친환경성을 평가하는 것을 목적으로 한다. 이를 위해 LCA에 관한 이론적 고찰을 토대로 전과정 단계별 물량정보 및 에너지 사용량 데이터를 구축하였다. 또한, 국가 LCI DB에 기초한 원단위 데이터베이스를 활용하여 산성화, 부영양화, 지구온난화, 자원고갈, 오존층파괴, 광화학적산화물에 대한 환경영향을 평가 분석하였다. 그 결과 패시브 공동주택이 일반 공동주택보다 6대 환경영향에서 환경적으로 우수한 것으로 평가 되었으며 이는 에너지 소비량의 절감이 운영단계에서 6대 환경영향을 큰 폭으로 감소시켰기 때문인 것으로 분석되었다. 이로 인해 건설단계에서의 환경영향의 비중이 상대적으로 증가됨에 따라 기존 에너지 절감 중심의 친환경 기술의 적용과 함께 투입물량의 절감 및 환경영향이 적은 친환경 건축재료의 적용을 통해 전 생애 주기 관점에서 친환경 기술의 적용이 필요할 것으로 사료된다.
