Recently, the acquisition of teamwork skills as well as creativity has been a special challenge to engineering students. Also it became crucial for engineering educators to help them enhance effectively these skills. Thus, there has been a good deal of domestic and overseas research on teamwork skills and creativity. However, to date, there is relatively few studies analyzing two variables' relationships. This research aims to explore relationships between engineering students' teamwork skills and everyday creativity, and to suggest educational implications for future research and educational programs. For this purpose, this study was conducted with 450 engineering students at two universities in Korea, and their teamwork skills and everyday creativity have been measured. Our findings show that firstly, there were significant differences in teamwork skills by grade. Secondly, there were significant correlations among subcategories' variables of teamwork skills and everyday creativity. Thirdly, 35% of teamwork skills were explained by everyday creativity. Based on these findings, the theoretical and practical implications are discussed with particular attention to education for promoting teamwork skills.

This research aims to explore the relationships between 'teamwork skills' (often called team activity competence) and 'thinking styles' of engineering students in Korea, and to provide an explanation for the application of team-based environment as well as for the increase of teamwork skills. Teams and team activity are pervasive in today's organization and there has been relatively much research on teamwork skills and its related factors. However, to date, little attention has been paid to the teamwork skills, essential factor in team-based environment and its relationships with thinking styles. This study was conducted with 383 engineering students at P University, and students' teamwork skills as well as thinking styles have been measured before and after team-based learning class (hereafter TBL). Our findings show that firstly, there was a significant increase of teamwork skills between before and after TBL class. Second, team activity competence was found to have a higher correlation with most of creativity generating styles (i.e. legislative, judicial, hierarchical and global styles). Third, hierarchical style was found to influence team activity more than other components, and also legislative, external, global and judicial styles contributed to team-based activity. These findings are expected to provide an explanation for the application of thinking styles in team-based environment and will be useful for the improvement of related courses in engineering school.

In this paper, the effect of daily creativity of engineering students on problem-solving ability is addressed through the dual mediating effect of teamwork competency and self-directed learning ability. To this end, a regression-based statistical mediation analysis has been performed on the dual mediation model in which daily creativity and problem solving ability were treated as independent and dependent variables respectively, and teamwork competence and self-directed learning ability were included as mediation variables. The analysis result confirmed that the daily creativity has direct effect on the problem-solving ability, as well as indirect effects through teamwork competence and self-directed learning ability. In particular, the serial mediating effect of teamwork competency and self-directed learning ability was also confirmed to be statistically significant in the relationship between daily creativity and problem-solving ability. This verifies that problem-solving ability can be improved not only directly by improving daily creativity but also indirectly by improving teamwork competence and self-directed learning ability. In addition, teamwork competency showed greater indirect effect on problem-solving ability than self-directed learning ability, so increasing teamwork competency has a more significant effect on improving problem-solving ability than increasing self-directed learning ability. Therefore, in order to develop better problem-solving ability, it is necessary to identify and improve the learners' teamwork competency first and to strive to create an environment where learners can solve problems based on mutual trust with their teammates.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to investigate the influence of patient safety culture and perceived teamwork on the safety control of nurses. Methods: This study was conducted as a descriptive cross-sectional survey with 141 nurses who worked in a tertiary hospital with over 1,000 beds in S city, Gyeonggi province. Data were collected using structured questionnaires from July 20, to July, 31, 2015. Results: The average work period for nurses participating in the research was 8.84 years. The perceived teamwork and patient safety culture were positively correlated with safety control. The regression model with patient safety culture, perceived teamwork and clinical career against safety control was statistically significant (F=10.16, p<.001). This model also explained 37.1% of safety control (Adj. $R^2=.37$). Especially, communication (${\beta}=.27$, p=.023) of patient safety culture, clinical career (${\beta}=.26$, p<.001), mutual support (${\beta}=.24$, p=.042), and team leadership (${\beta}=.24$, p=.018) in perceived teamwork were identified as factors influencing safety control. Conclusion: The findings of this study imply that a broad approach including teamwork and patient safety culture should be considered to improve the safety control for nurses.

This paper deals with the effects of teamwork competence on problem solving ability through the mediating effect of creative personality for the engineering students. For this purpose, a regression-based statistical mediation analysis has been performed for a simple mediation model in which teamwork competence and problem solving ability were treated as independent and dependent variables respectively, and creative personality was included as a mediation variable. The analysis results showed that the teamwork competence has direct effect on the problem solving ability as well as indirect effect through the creative personality. This result implies that the problem solving ability can be improved directly by improving the teamwork competence, and moreover, it can be further improved indirectly or through the mediation effect by improving the creative personality. Thus, in order to develop excellent problem solving ability, it is necessary to form team members in a balanced way between teamwork competence and creative personality in the team-based learning.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to identify the influence of nurses' emotional intelligence and communication within the organization on teamwork in Armed Forces hospitals. Methods: This study employed a cross-sectional design with a convenience sample of 195 nurses from five Armed Forces hospitals in Korea. Data were collected through a self-administered questionnaire from August 7 to 23, 2017 and analyzed using descriptive statistics, t-test, ANOVA, Pearson's correlation coefficient, and multiple regression. The SPSS/WIN 21.0 program was used for all analyses. Results: The degree of teamwork was $5.03{\pm}0.73$, with scores ranging from 1 to 7. Emotional intelligence and communication within the organization were positively correlated with teamwork. Specifically, communication within the organization (${\beta}=.60$, p<.001), the intensive care unit (${\beta}=.21$, p=.001), and the medical general ward (${\beta}=.17$, p=.010) were identified as factors influencing teamwork. This model explained 51% of the variance in teamwork, and it was statistically significant (F=35.09, p<.001). Conclusion: These results imply the need to develop an approach including communication within the organization to improve teamwork among nurses in Armed Forces hospitals.
