Improving productivity of knowledge workers is an important issue in the 21st century referred as knowledge-based society. The core key word is knowledge sharing among constituents of an organization. The purpose of this study is to combine the social network position factors with attitude and behavior factors, and develop an integrated research model for the knowledge sharing among members of an organization. This study adopted the integrated theoretical framework based on social capital, self-efficacy, transactive memory, and knowledge sharing. Surveys were conducted to 42 organizational members from a department in a leading IT outsourcing company to empirically test the proposed research model. In order to validate the proposed research model, social network analysis tool, UCINET, a structural equation modeling tool, SmartPLS, were utilized. The empirical result showed that, first of all, organizational members' familiarity network position had significant influence on knowledge self-efficacy and transactive memory capability. Second, knowledge self-efficacy and transactive memory capability affected knowledge sharing intention. Third, knowledge sharing intention also had an impact on the job performance. However, organizational members' expertise network position had no significant influence on knowledge self-efficacy and transactive memory capability. This finding reveals the importance of the emotional approach rather than the rational approach in knowledge management. The theoretical and practical implications on the research findings were discussed along with limitations.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to identify the relationships among network centrality, psychological well-being (PWBS), and intention to exercise maintenance in participants of an aquatic exercise program. Methods: Using a single-experimental design, 17 osteoarthritis patients participated in an aquatic exercise program. The questionnaire to connect the network of members was used to peer nomination by Moreno (1953). Data were analyzed with the UCINET using centrality (degree, closeness, betweenness) and SPSS using descriptive statistics, wilcoxon signed ranked test, and spearman's rho. Results: Closeness centrality, PWBS, and intention to exercise maintenance were significantly different between 4 weeks and 8 weeks. At 4 weeks, PWBS was positively correlated with closeness centrality. Intention to exercise maintenance was positively correlated with degree, closeness, and betweenness centrality. At 8 weeks, PWBS was positively correlated with closeness centrality. Intention to exercise maintenance was positively correlated with closeness centrality. Conclusion: The aquatic exercise program can be effective in increasing closeness centrality, psychological well-being, and intention to exercise maintenance. This was the first study attempted to analyze construction of member relationships in osteoarthritis patients participating an exercise program by using social network analysis.

Purpose: A significant amount of public opinion about nurse bullying is expressed on the internet. The purpose of this study was to analyze the linkage structures among words extracted from comments on internet articles related to nurse workplace bullying using semantic network analysis. Methods: From February 2018 to April 2019, comments made on news articles posted to the Daum and Naver web portal containing keywords such as "nurse", "Taeum", and "bullying" were collected using a web crawler written in Python. A morphological analysis performed with Open Korean Text in KoNLPy generated 54 major nodes. The frequencies, eigenvector centralities, and betweenness centralities of the 54 nodes were calculated and semantic networks were visualized using the UCINET and NetDraw programs. Convergence of iterated correlations (CONCOR) analysis was performed to identify structural equivalence. Results: This paper presents results about March 2018 and January 2019 because these months had highest number of articles. Of the 54 major nodes, "nurse", "hospital", "patient", and "physician" were the most frequent and had the highest eigenvector and betweenness centralities. The CONCOR analysis identified work environment, nurse, gender, and military clusters. Conclusion: This study structurally explored public opinion about nurse bullying through semantic network analysis. It is suggested that various studies on nursing phenomena will be conducted using social network analysis.
