  • Occupational health and safety (OHS) is a broad field of professional practice, which involves specialists from different disciplines including but not limited to engineers, occupational health physicians, physical and biological scientists, economists, and statisticians. The preventive systems required to ensure workers are protected from injuries and illnesses dwell heavily on engineers; however, the extent to which the engineer can go regarding planning and implementing preventive measures is dependent on specific legal requirements, leadership commitment from the company, organization, and nation. The objective of this paper is to identify the areas of opportunities for improvements in OHS management in Ghana with regard to the nation's legal requirements, commitment of the Ghana government, and Ghanaian leadership as well as appropriate structuring of Ghanaian institutions responsible for monitoring and managing OHS in Ghana. This paper identified Ghana's fragmented legal requirements concerning OHS, which are under different jurisdictions with unclear responsibilities and accountabilities. The paper also highlights the training needs of Ghanaian academic institutions regarding OHS. Among other recommendations made including structuring of Ghanaian institutions to manage OHS in line with the ILO-OSH 2001, this paper aligns the recommendations with the articles and elements of International Labour Organization convention number 155 and OHSAS 18001 elements.

  • Korean Volunteer Fire Departments are the representative disaster-related civilian organizations which are based on "Firefighting Framework Act Article 37"and ordinance for complementing the lack of fire-fighting personnel and volunteer and they play a part as community safety keepers. They are operated by the National funding, but cannot be defined as the organization in governmental sources completely or pure volunteer organization in terms of its founding purpose and activities. In these special characteristics, some Volunteer Fire Departments play an important role in Civilian Volunteer Disaster Prevention by being managed effectively, but the others do not. There can be many cause-analyses about this difference. They aren't profit-making organizations and are groups which have no compulsion. So it is important that who the leader is, and what type of leadership he has. By solving this bias by considering these characteristics, in this study we make them perform the center role of community safety network through analyzing the existing status and problems of volunteer fire department education and customized training program reengineering to meet class-specific and regional level.

  • 본 연구는 근무여건의 열악함에도 불구하고 많은 역할을 담당하고 있는 해양경찰 함정의 조직유효성 향상을 위해 함장의 변혁적 리더십이 일반 함정승조원의 조직몰입에 어떠한 영향을 미치는지를 파악하기 위함이다. 연구를 위하여 변혁적 리더십이 조직 몰입에 미치는 다양한 선행연구를 조사하였고, 가설을 설정하여 변혁적 리더십이 조직몰입에 미치는 영향에 대하여 검증을 시도하였다. 변혁적 리더십이 조직몰입에 미치는 영향에 대해 검증하기 위하여 변혁적 리더십을 독립변수로, 조직몰입을 종속변수로, 그리고 다섯 가지 인구통계학적 특성을 사용하여 연구의 모형을 설정하였다. 연구의 결과 변혁적 리더십의 지적자극이 조직몰입의 조직목적(t=6.664, p=0.000)과 근속몰입(t=4.057, p=0.000)에서 해양경찰 함정 일반 승조원에게 가장 크게 영향을 미치는 것으로 보이며, 우리가 일반적으로 영향력이 클 것으로 생각하는 개별배려는 거의 영향을 주지 못하는 것으로 나타났다.

  • 본 연구는 간호사가 지각하는 공유리더십, 조직의사소통, 간호서비스 질을 파악하여 환자안전관리활동에 영향을 미치는 요인을 분석하여 이론적, 실천적 정보와 중재방안을 위한 기초자료를 마련하기 위한 서술적 조사연구이다. 본 연구는 G도 소재의 C지역 임상 간호사 155명을 대상으로 2023년 7월 17일부터 7월 28일까지 자료를 수집하였으며, 총 154부를 최종 분석하였다. SPSS Win. 25.0 프로그램을 사용하여 기술통계, t-test, one-way ANOVA, Pearson correlation coefficient, hierarchial multiple regression으로 분석하였다. 대상자의 환자안전관리활동에 영향을 미치는 변수들을 위계적 선택법을 이용한 다중회귀로 분석한 결과 공유리더십이 높을수록, 조직의사소통과 간호서비스 질이 높을수록 환자안전관리활동에 영향을 미쳤으며, 설명력은 45.9%이었다. 간호사의 환자안전관리활동에 대한 효율적인 간호수행을 위하여 환자안전관리활동을 지지할 수 있는 구체적인 중재 프로그램을 개발하고, 그 효과를 검증하는 연구가 지속적으로 시행되어야 할 것이다.
