This study investigates the factors that affect the adoption of object orientation . One major research question is addressed : What are the factors that significantly influeence the adoption of object orientation ? This study especially explores the impact of independent variables on the level of actual usage of object orientation. The independent variables are classified into four categories as follow ; (1) Individual factors : amount of experience in using the structures methods and level of openness toward new technologies ; (2) Managerical factors : perceived management support and training : (3) Organizatinal factors : number of IS professionals in the working group and that in organization ; and (4) Environmental factors ; accessibility to technology champions and software hardware environment supporting object orientation. A Questionnaire measuring the above variables was utilized to investigate the effect of these variables on the dependent variable, the actual usage of object orientation. The structured questionnaire was administered to Data Processing Management Association (DPMA) professionals in U. S. The results of this study revealed several important findings with most results being consistent with expectations based on related theory. The personal openness toward new technologies, perceived management support, training, and hardware/software environment were highly related to the usage of object orientation. This study suggested an empiriclal basis for understanding the early adoption of object orientation in organization.

The objective of this study was to identify the cultural characteristics affecting advertising contents of the consumer products. Hofstedes(1991) five cultural characteristics such as individualism-collectivism, power distance, masculinity-feminity, avoidance of uncertainty, confucian dynamism were used. Ten kinds of consumer products were included and data were collected from France, Japan, Korea, and U. S. during 1999∼2000. All ads were evaluated and compared their cultural characteristics in terms of country, product involvement and usage, and magazine type. ANOVA, Duncan test, and Pearson correlation-coefficient were applied to analyze data. The results were shown as follows: First, most ads tended to be individual, less power oriented, feministic, and showed high tendency of uncertainty avoidance as well as long term confucianism for all the countries. And some cultural characteristics were different among countries. Japan, France, U. S. and Korea in order showed higher individualism and lower power distance. Also Korea and Japan showed relatively short term confucian culture while U. S. and France did ling term perspectives in the ads. Second, product involvement and usage type had a significant impact on the characteristics of individualism-collectivism and feminity-masculinity. That is, product ads of lower involvement and personal use were likely to show individualistic messages and to have more feministic appeals. Third, magazine type had an impact on some cultural characteristics. Womens magazines would have more individualistic, less power oriented, and feministic appeals of ads. In conclusion, global ads should be localized and differentiated in terms of some cultural characteristics and differ depending on product characteristics.

The purpose of this study is to analyze the adoption of Kakao Bank in terms of benefits (functional, social, experiential, economic benefits) and differentiated services (customization and service diversity) considering service types. Benefits are personal value consumers attach to the product or service attributes and, therefore, more important than attributes of service itself when using Kakao Bank in the internet based environment. Data was collected using an online and offline survey of 131 Kakao Bank users and analyzed the data using structural equation model (SEM). The results of empirical analysis using SmartPLS show that functional benefit, experiential benefit, and customization are significantly related to the user's satisfaction, but economic benefits, social benefit, and service variety are not. Customer's satisfaction are also showed significantly to be related to the all types of Kakao Bank usage(balance check, transfer, and other services). This study has the significance in that it examines the user's satisfaction and usage of Kakao Bank in terms of benefits and differentiated services while other studies analyzed banking services focusing on the attributes of banking channel itself.

Purpose Many students have concerned about the quality and operation of online courses with universities offering online courses to avoid the spread of COVID-19. To deepen our understanding of university online class systems, this research aims to assess students' satisfaction with online class systems and continuous usage intention on the basis of the perceived benefits and expectation confirmation theory. Design/methodology/approach This paper empirically analyzes the impact of each perceived benefit on user satisfaction and the intention to use it continuously by dividing the perceived benefits considered in existing literature into utilitarian benefits (convenience), emotional benefits (pleasure), and symbolic benefits (personal benefits). Moreover, the perceived expectations and performance have also been assessed with its impact on satisfaction and the intention to continue use. Data collected from 241 university students were empirically tested against a research model. Findings Analysis results showed that perceived advantages (comfort, enjoyment and personalized benefit) significantly affect user satisfaction and that perceived benefits have positive effects on the intention to continue use whereas the expected confirmation do not significantly influence on the intention to continue use.

Objectives : This study was conducted to evaluate the effects of the personal stereo system on the hearing in adolescents. Methods : A total of 68 adolescents(age: 13-18 years) who visited the ENT Department at a University Hospital in Daegu were personally interviewed. The questionnaires were about general characteristics of the subjects, the time of personal stereo system use (year, hour) and place. Cumulative exposure to the personal stereo system was calculated by the product of the total years and the daily hours of their use. Pure tone audiometry was performed and the hearing threshold was measured at 500, 1000, 2000, 4000 and 8000 Hz. Results : The average time of using a personal stereo system a day was about 3 hours and 75% of the subjects used a personal stereo system for 2-5 years. The elevation of threshold was more prominent in the subjects who used personal stereo systems for 4 years and more compared with those subjects who used them for 3 years and under. The elevation of hearing threshold was also more prominent in the subjects who used personal stereo systems for 4 hours and more a day compared with those subjects who used personal stereo systems for 3 hours and under a day. The elevation of hearing threshold was more prominent in the subjects who used personal stereo systems for 13 hour. years and more compared to the subjects who used them 12 hour. years and under. Conclusions : These results suggest that the elevation of hearing threshold can happen to adolescents who used personal stereo systems for a long time. In order to prevent hearing loss, we need to teach adolescents appropriate usage of the personal stereo system and hearing tests should be included in the periodic school-based physical examination for the adolescents.

Background: It is estimated that about 13 million artisanal and small-scale miners carry out their activities under harsh, precarious, unfriendly, and risky conditions. Yet, our understanding of the extent to which these workers use personal protective equipment (PPE) and navigate through the various risks and hazards they face is still limited. This article has two main objectives. First, it explores the extent of usage of PPE among artisanal and small-scale miners for the prevention of hazards and risks. Second, it examines the coping strategies used by these miners as a response to experiences of occupational injuries and risks Methods: A cross-sectional survey of small-scale miners was conducted in six communities across three districts in Ghana, West Africa. The mixed methods approach was adopted. A total of 148 small-scale miners participated in the study. Six focus group discussions (FGDs) were held across the six communities. The data were analysed using descriptive statistics. Chi-square tests were used to analyse the relationship between some socio-demographic characteristics (sex, age, and educational background) and the usage of PPE. Open-ended questions and responses from FGDs were analysed based on the content and verbatim quotations from miners. Results: Findings suggest that 78% of the miners interviewed do not use the appropriate PPE citing reasons such as cost, and their personal discomfort associated with use of PPE. There was no significant relationship between socio-demographic characteristics (i.e., sex, age, education and major mining activity) and the usage of PPE. The study further revealed four main coping strategies used by miners to handle the risks. These are rest, taking unprescribed medication and hard drugs, registration with health insurance scheme and savings and investments. Conclusion: This study shows that very few artisanal miners use PPE despite the significant hazards and risks to which they are exposed. The study recommends to the government to put in place measures to ensure that miners adhere to health and safety regulations before undertaking mining activities. This means that health and safety plans and use of PPE should be linked to the license acquisition process for miners.

스마트폰, 태블릿과 같은 디지털 기기의 보급이 광범위하게 확산되면서 '접근'을 중심으로 진행되던 정보격차에 대한 이론적 논의가 정보의 효과적인 '활용'과 능동적인 '생산', '공유'로 확대되고 있다. 이러한 논의가 중요한 것은 디지털 기술의 활용 행태가 개인의 인적, 물적 네트워크에 영향을 미침으로써 사회적 불평등 구조를 재생산하거나 심화시키는 결과를 가져올 수 있기 때문이다. 본 연구에서는 개인이 맺고 있는 사회적 관계가 두 가지 유형의 사회적 자본(결속형, 가교형)을 매개로 디지털 기기의 경제적 활용과 사회참여적 활용에 미치는 영향에 대해 살펴보았다. 전문리서치 업체를 통해 수집된 740건의 설문조사 데이터에 대한 실증분석 결과, 개인의 사회적 관계가 수평적일수록 결속형 사회적 자본과 가교형 사회적 자본이 증가하는 것으로 나타났다. 그러나 개인의 사회적 관계는 두 가지 형태의 디지털 기기 활용(경제적, 사회참여적) 모두에 직접적인 영향보다는 사회적 자본을 통한 간접적인 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 특히, 가교형 사회적 자본의 경우 두 가지 형태의 디지털 기기 활용 모두에 대해 매개효과가 존재했지만, 결속형 사회적 자본은 경제적 활용에 대해서만 매개효과가 존재하는 것으로 나타났다. 도출된 결과에 대한 해석과 함께 이론적, 실무적 시사점을 제시하였다.

본 연구는 우리 사회에서 나타나는 정치적 소통 현상에 주목하여 소통 만족에 영향을 미치는 요인을 논의하였다. 정치적 소통의 주요 영향요인으로 개인의 정치적 성향과 미디어 이용을 살펴봄으로써 정치 커뮤니케이션 행위와 정치적 소통 만족도를 평가했다. 전국 16개 시도에 거주하는 만19세 이상 성인 1000명을 대상으로 면접원 설문조사를 실시한 결과, 진보적 정치성향은 온라인 미디어 이용이 많았으며, 개인의 의견을 적극 게재하는 '쓰기/대화'의 정치 커뮤니케이션 행위가 소통 만족에 긍정적인 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 반면 보수, 중도적 정치성향은 오프라인 미디어를 주로 이용하였고, 타인의 의견을 살피는 '읽기/시청'의 소극적 정치 커뮤니케이션 행위가 중점적으로 나타났다. 따라서 우리 사회에서 정치적 소통을 원활히 하기 위해서는 시민의 정치적 특성에 대한 이해가 선행되어야 하며, 이에 따른 차별화된 미디어 활용 정치커뮤니케이션이 제고되어야 함을 논의할 수 있었다.

SNS에 대한 기존 연구들에서는 SNS의 이용동기가 복수임을 밝혀내었음에도 불구하고, SNS 이용동기를 결정하는 선행 변수를 규명한 연구는 없었다. 이에 본 연구에서는 한국교육고용패널(한국직업능력개발원) 자료의 10차년도 조사(2013년)부터 12차년도 조사(2015)를 통합하여 분석을 진행하였다. SNS 이용동기를 정보 교류, 친목/인맥 관리, 재미 추구의 세 가지로 구분하고, 결정요인으로 이용자의 직장관련 요인, 인구통계적 요인, 건강 및 심리상태, 성격 요인 등을 구분하여 탐색적인 분석을 진행하였다. 그 결과, 이용동기가 정보 교류일 때, 성별, 건강 상태, 성격 중 외향성과 성실성이 영향을 주었다. 이용동기가 인맥 관리일 때, 직장 규모, 교육, 건강생태, 주관적 행복, 직무만족도, 신경성, 친화성이 영향을 주었다. 이용동기가 재미 추구일 때, 외국계 기업 여부, 자녀 유무, 직무만족도가 영향을 주었다. 이러한 결과는 청년 직장인들의 SNS 이용패턴에 대한 기존의 이해를 확장하여 관련 연구 및 유관 분야에 기여할 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.
