With the emergence of digitalization and environmental changes, such as those caused by COVID-19 and high-speed networks, online video platforms have changed how people communicate and created new marketing opportunities. The unique characteristics of mobile short-form videos are causing more people to consume and produce diverse content in the digital environment. The study focuses on two story types (product essential and relative information) to examine the effectiveness of short-form videos for fashion marketing. This study verified the influence of the common traits of short-form video content (informativeness, expertise, familiarity, and playfulness) on fun, e-WOM, and purchase intention and the mediation effect of fun using video samples categorized by story type. In this study, 300 Gen Z men and women responded to a survey after watching a 30-second short-form video sample. All the traits of short-form video content were found to have a positive effect on fun. Moreover, all the traits excluding playfulness had a positive effect on e-WOM and purchase intention as well. Fun had a positive effect on both e-WOM and purchase intention as well as a partial mediating effect. These findings are expected to provide insight and reference for planning short-form video marketing from the perspective of the fashion industry.

This study is a descriptive research study to determine the mediating effect of anxiety in the relationship between patient care communication and patient satisfaction among hospitalized patients. Data was collected using self-administered questionnaires from October to December 2021. The collected data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, Pearson's correlation coefficient, and hierarchical multiple regression using the SPSS 24.0 program, and the effectiveness of the mediation effect was tested using the Sobel test. As a result of the study, there was a positive correlation between patient care communication and patient satisfaction, and a negative correlation between patient care communication and anxiety. And there was also a negative correlation between patient satisfaction and anxiety. In the relationship between patient care communication and patient satisfaction, anxiety had a partial mediating effect (z=2.93, p<.001), with an explanatory power of 38.4%. In order to improve patient satisfaction based on the results of this study, it is necessary to develop a program that can improve nurses' patient care communication capabilities and reduce patients' anxiety.

A questionnaire was conducted on 172 dental hygiene students in a university located in Chungcheong area. For data analysis, Pearson's correlation analysis was conducted to exam the relationships between clinical practice powerlessness, self-esteem, and career identity. Baron & Kenny's three-step mediation analysis was used to investigate the mediating effect of self-esteem in the relationship between clinical practice powerlessness and career identity. The results of this study showed that the clinical practice powerlessness showed significant negative correlations with both self-esteem and career identity, and self-esteem showed a positive correlation with career identity. Partial mediating effects of self-esteem were found between clinical practice powerlessness and career identity. Thus, since self-esteem mediates the relationship between clinical practice powerlessness and career identity, it's essential to implement online-based programs aimed at increasing self-esteem among dental hygiene students before they participate in clinical practice.

Private security officers in Seoul and the Gyeonggi province in Korea were studied by using the purposive sampling method and the following results were obtained. First, except for the altruism factor, the levels of organizational ethics perceptions and organizational citizenship behavior of the subjects were relatively high. Moreover, organizational characteristics had a positive partial effect on organizational ethics and organizational citizenship behavior. Furthermore, organizational ethics partially affected organizational citizenship behavior in a positive way, and organizational ethics had a partial mediation effect between organizational characteristics and organizational citizenship behavior.
