Methods: The data were collected between October $1^{st}$ and December $31^{st}$, 2015, from 43 floating nurses and 57 clinical nurses working at a tertiary care hospital in Seoul. The collected data were analyzed with SPSS/WIN 23.0, using descriptive statistics and the t-test, $x^2$ test, ANCOVA, ANOVA, $Scheffe{\acute{e}}$ test, Pearson correlation coefficients, and Stepwise multiple regression. Results: The nursing competency of clinical nurses was significantly higher than that of floating nurses (F=4.370, p=.039). For both floating and clinical nurses, nursing competency was positively correlated with self-esteem (floating nurses, r=.47, p=.002; clinical nurses, r=.62, p<.001). Also, For both floating and clinical nurses, the most significant predictor of nursi ng competency was self-esteem(floating nurses, ${\beta}=0.45$, p=.001; clinical nurses, ${\beta}=0.60$, p<.001). Conclusi on: Efforts are needed to increase the nursing competency of the floating nurse through the improvement of the floating system, the nursing work environment, and continuous education. Also, as self- esteem is the most effective predictor of nursing competence, nursing intervention is needed to improve self-esteem of the floating nurse.

Construction projects heavily rely on construction engineers competency, and instant judgment and problem solving ability against unpredictable situation directly affect the success of construction project. Therefore in order to hire construction engineers that are competent to lead construction projects successfully, the construction engineer competency evaluation is essential from the selection process. Hence, this research proposed items to assess the operation competency of construction engineers by deducing influence factors necessary to measure operation competency via interviews with experts and applying the factors. After conducting survey questionnaire utilizing analytic hierarchy process(AHP) for the proposed operation competency measurement items, weighted values were assigned.
