Purpose: This study was carried out in order to examine organizational commitment in dental technicians and turnover intention level according to it, and to analyze its effects. Methods: A self-reported questionnaire survey was carried out by having convenience sampling as 200 dental technicians. An analysis of the collected data was computationally processed by using SPSS Win 19.0 program. An analytical technique was made by using statistical techniques such as frequency & percentage, t-test, One-way ANOVA analysis. The following are the analytical results of the collected materials. Results: In consequence of analyzing organizational commitment level in research subjects, there was a significant difference in the items for age, task field, job position in charge, career in dental laboratory technology, and monthly income(p<.05). The average of the item for organizational commitment level stood at 3.29, thereby having been indicated to be high. As a result of analyzing turnover intention level in research subjects, there was a significant difference in the items for task field, job position in charge, career in dental laboratory technology, and monthly income(p<.05). The average of the item for turnover intention reached 3.04, thereby having appeared to be relatively high. As for a correlation between organizational commitment and turnover intention, all variables were shown to have inverse correlation at a significant level. In consequence of conducting regression analysis in order to analyze the influence of organizational commitment upon turnover intention, a factor of having the most impact on turnover intention appeared to be normative commitment. The test value of the model was statistically significant. The explanation power about this was indicated to be 26.9%. Conclusion : In the above findings, the dental technicians are considered to need to be immersed in work with a sense of mission in performing job in charge, to strive to possibly have an opportunity of achievement and self-growth, and to perform a research and development in a manpower management strategy such as turnover prevention.

Purpose: This study was to explore the relationships among emotional labor, social support, job satisfaction, organizational commitment, and turnover intention in healthcare providers. Methods: Participants were healthcare providers (54 male and 328 female) with a mean age of 30.28 years old. Data analysis were done with PASW 18.0 for descriptive statistics and AMOS 5.0 for path analysis. Results: The hypothetical path model showed a good fit to the empirical data (${\chi}^2$=4.178, df=2, p= .124, GFI= .997, NFI= .995, NNFI= .987, RMSEA= .053). Emotional labor, job satisfaction, and organizational commitment had significant direct effects on turnover intention. Social support had a significant direct effect on emotional labor, job satisfaction and organizational commitment, and indirect and total effect on turnover intention. Conclusion: These findings suggest that turnover prevention or education programs for healthcare providers should include maintaining good mood when interact with patients or visitors with various negative moods in healthcare setting. Further strategies may need to resolve emotional labor, enhance job satisfaction and organizational commitment, and provide social support.

Purpose: Reconstruction of microtia using costal cartilage graft is commonly used technique nowadays. The chest wall depression at the donor site after the graft, however, has been noticed in many articles. Prevention or correction technique for the depression at the donor site also has been reported and we also have been concerned about the problem. This article is a case report about a new technique preventing chest wall depression after costal cartilage graft. Methods: We selected total 15 microtia patients who visited our clinic, from December 2005 to July 2007. They were 10 male and 5 female patients and the mean age was 11.9 years. The average follow up period was 9.2 months(2 to 15 months). We used 6, 7, and $8^{th}$ costal cartilage for microtia reconstruction. And then we turned over pivot of cartilage resection margin, after bihalving costal cartilage involving about 5-6 cm of $6^{th}$ and $7^{th}$ rib bone. After microtia reconstruction, chest donor sites were evaluated by physical examination and radiography. Results: Postoperative depression at the donor site was much less when the costal cartilage turnover technique was performed. Postoperative physical examination and three dimensional reconstruction CT showed that the rest part of rib bone was turned over and it supported the soft tissue defect during respiration. Conclusion: We expect that the turnover rib bone will not be absorbed after graft, as well as offering mechanical support, compared to the other reports.

This study sought to examine the impact relationship of the mediated effects of organizational justice on the effects of workplace bullying on turnover intentions. The research hypothesis was verified using SPSS 24 and smartPLS 3 by analyzing 400 surveys of small and medium enterprise workers. Studies have shown that increasing bullying in the workplace also increases emotional depletion and turnover intentions. Emotional depletion has been shown to significantly mediate the impact relationship between workplace bullying and turnover intentions, and organizational justice has laid a theoretical foundation for significantly moderating the impact relationship between workplace bullying and emotional depletion. Therefore, it presented practical implications to increase competitiveness through the well-being and growth of individuals and businesses by increasing respect and sensitivity for workers through compulsory bullying prevention education and various programs. Future research requires research using various variables to prevent bullying.

The construction industry is an industry in which skilled construction workers should be secured and trained because of the quality and productivity of buildings, but the negative image makes it difficult to supply and demand skilled construction workers. In response, this study derived the factors influencing the intention of transferring construction workers to other occupations and investigated ways to improve the prevention of leaving other occupations by age of construction workers. The factors influencing the turnover of construction workers have also been derived, and work overload, salary, workplace stability, and employment competitiveness have a significant impact on the intention of new employees to change jobs. According to a survey on ways to improve the prevention of leaving other jobs, those in their 20s and 30s are "improving working conditions, such as providing holidays, paying overtime, compliance with working hours," and those in their 50s and 60s.

Recently, the high turnover rate of nursing staff and the problems caused by increased job stress have been highlighted as social issues, and the problem of 'Taeoom' in nursing organizations has received increasing attention. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to propose a solution to the Taeoom problem, including bullying in the nursing work environment, as there is an urgent need to find a solution to prevent and overcome this problem. For this purpose, based on the S-O-R framework and previous studies, job stress and turnover intention were derived as outcome variables of Taeoom and communication competence as an antecedent factor, and a research model was constructed with the expectation that mindfulness and social support would serve as moderating variables to help overcome this problem. Data were collected through a survey of 300 nurses who had experienced Taeoom within the past year, and the hypotheses were tested using a structural equation model. The results revealed that the higher the communication competence of nurses, the less they perceived the damage of Taeoom, and that the damage caused by Taeoom leads to turnover intention through high job stress. In addition, mindfulness and social support significantly attenuated the positive effects of burnout on job stress and job stress on turnover intention, respectively. The significance of this study is that it proposed an extended P-S-O-R framework by adding a prevention stage to the existing S-O-R framework, and further tested the moderating effects of mindfulness and social support variables. It is expected that the findings of this study will provide concrete guidelines to prevent and overcome the Taeoom problem that can be applied in practice.

Recently, increases in major disasters such as fires, earthquakes and typhoons have raised public expectations for safety. In addition to this increase in expectations of safety, the government continues to push for more manpower and better treatment for firefighters who are operating in the disaster scene. Despite the improvement of working conditions and increased welfare for firefighters, however, the incidence and turnover of various mental diseases continues to increase. It is reported that many of the diseases such as post-traumatic stress disorder and the turnover of firefighters are due to a mismatch in individual's personality and work environment. In this study, 108 firefighters were evaluated for their vocational aptitude in the new curriculum. Based on the analysis results, new firefighters were proposed to provide employment and education training improvements, and to provide job security suitable for the individual's personality type through the introduction of the vocational aptitude test for firefighters who are working in the fire service. In addition, we would like to use the vocational aptitude test as a material for reducing post-traumatic stress disorder and increasing turnover through long-term tracking and observation, rather than from a one-off perspective.

The successful and sustainable growth of SMEs depends on their ability of strengthen their competitiveness in quality and cost and service more than anything else as a fundamental of operation. Among these key competitive factors of SMEs, quality is the most critical factor in manufacturing business fields. There are many different ways to improve the quality performance but it needs proper management decision to choose the best way what can maximize outputs with minimum inputs. And it needs effective measurement methods and some indicators to analysis the quality performance properly. The quality cost is one of the simplest key indicators to measure the quality performance and the effectiveness of quality related management decisions. In this study, through survey on local SMEs, we found that their average annual quality cost ratio versus turnover - total amount of annual quality cost divided by annual turnover - is around 3.69% excluded some SME's performances what have different quality control measures with others. And we found some results what corresponded with the early studies on the correlations between those categorized quality costs factors and some discrepancies between some of the literature model and the early case study results as follows. There were negative correlations between the Prevention costs and the External failure costs, and the Appraisal costs and the External failure costs, and there was positive correlation between the Appraisal costs and Internal failure costs same as early studies. But, we couldn't found any strong negative correlations between the Cost of control - Prevention costs & Appraisal costs - and the Cost of Failure of control - Internal & External failure costs -.

This study seeks to dertermine the influence and mediating effect of work environments among counselors at National Protection Agencies for Elderly(NPAE), who are conducting elderly abuse prevention service when domestic and facility abuse is augmenting due to social distancing as a result of COVID-19, on turnover intention. This study ultimately applied the analysis of 290 replies to surveys that were distributed to 306 workers at a total of 34 National Protection Agencies for Elderly(NPAE). The nationwide investigation was carrid out from 1st July until 30th July, 2020. SPSS 23.0 was used for the analysis and the Sobel-Test was conducted to verify the multiple regression analysis and significance. This was for the confirmation of descriptive statistics, correlation analysis and mediation effect so that the influence and relationships of variables could be verified. The results are as follows. First the job stress of counselors in the NPAE had a positive effect on turnover intention. Second, the work environment of the NPAE was found to have a negative influence on turnover intention. Third, the work environment played a significant partially mediating role in the relation between the job stress and turnover intention among the counselors. Based on such research results, policy and practical implications to reduce the stress, improve the work environment and reduce turnover of counselors in the NPAE were presented.
