There are so many definition of good work but generally job quality can be useful to analyze the good work. Good work may include some factors about health or working environment. This paper was planned to investigate the level of job quality in Korean employees. Especially comparison of health status between low an high job quality can be analyzed. Korean Working Conditions Survey was used. The various job characteristics were categorized into 6 component of job quality using factor analysis. Statistically mean difference test and cross-tabulation analysis were used to identify the difference of health status and distribution of the level of job quality. The result has shown the different distribution of the level of job quality by the economic sectors and occupations statistically significant. The positive cases of all of six components of job quality was 2.1% of Korean employees and the negative cases of all six components of job quality was 1.5%. The subjective general health status was correlated with job quality but work-related stress was negatively correlated with the level of job quality. This study was heuristic one, more depth analysis will be needed to identify the relationship and causation of job quality and health status.

The purpose of this study was to define the relationship between the leadership style of head nurses and the burnout level of nurses by taking into consideration the factors which influence the level of burnout and which show how burnout varies according to the leadership style of lead nurses. The subjects of the survey were 355 ward nurses and their 48 head nurses working in five university hospitals in Seoul. The nurses were surveyed by means of a questionnaire from Sept. 22 though Sept. 29, 1983. The Leadership Scale devised by Fleishman, and modified by Lee, and the Burnout Scale developed by Pines et al, and adapted to the Korean situation by Peek, were used as a basis of ;his survey This researcher subjected the questionnaire to a pre-test and to an internal reliability consistency test through item analysis. For the purpose of analysis of the data, the general characteristics were set at Mean and the general characteristics of head nurses in relation to the level of burnout of nurses was analysed by the Pearson Correlation Coefficient. The relation between head nurses' general characteristics 3nd leadership style, the relation between nurses' general characteristics and level of burnout and the level of burnout of nurses according to the different style of leadership of head nurses were analysed by ANOVA. A summary of the results of the study is as follows. 1. Hypothesis:“That the burnout level of the nurse will be different according to the leadership style of the head nurse”was supported. 2. Analysis of the relationship between the head nurse's general characteristics and the leadership style of the head nurse showed that the leadership style of the head nurse was not related to age and experience as head nurse. 3. Analysis of the relationship of nurses' burnout levels to general characteristics of nurses showed statistically significant differences in burnout levels according to working departments, expected working period and reasons for selecting nursing as a profession. Also, the burnout level of nurses was negatively related to the head nurse's age and experience as a head nurse.

As the research for evaluating the welfare satisfaction factor of radiological technologist who works in the clinic, this study was conducted to analysis the satisfaction factor, satisfaction level, and the improvements. During July 14, 2014 to March 31, 2015, after we sent out a total of 150 questionnaires for the survey to radiological technologists working at the clinic located in Gyoungsangnam province, 130 questionnaires suitable for research were analysis by using SPSS 18.0 statistical analysis software. As the welfare factors, working environment, financial support, educational opportunity, medical support, working culture, etc. were used. And as the sociodemographic characteristics, the gender, marriage, level of education, age, and working period were used. As a result of analysis of satisfaction level by welfare factors, working environment was $2.74{\pm}0.65$, financial support was $2.42{\pm}0.74$, educational opportunity was $2.24{\pm}0.72$, medical support was $2.68{\pm}0.69$, and working culture was $2.27{\pm}0.64$. Consequentially, the satisfaction level of welfare factor ($2.45{\pm}0.59$) was confirmed as below average. On the nature of the clinic, the management's lack of awareness of welfare is a realistic limit. In order to improve the satisfaction level of clinic's radiological technologist, it thought that there should be the proactive changes of the managements and the change of the medical staff 's perception. Moreover, it is important to provide selective welfare effectively by the investigation of employees' desire for welfare.

This study was designed to identify the relationship between the level of sense of coherence(SOC) and coping resources of nurses working in hospital. The subjects of this study were 248 nurses working at C University hospital in Seoul. The data was collected during the period from July 1. to July 14. 2001. The insruments for this study were SOC scale by Antonovsky(1987) and Coping Resources Inventory by author. The analysis of data was done by simple statistics, ANOVA and Pearson correlation coefficient with SAS program. The results of this study were as follows: 1. Total mean SOC was 132.1/203.0 with a range 96.0 to 171.0. The mean score of this item was arranged according to three areas. The meaningfulness was 4.9, managability was 4.7, and comprehensibility was 4.2. 2. Total mean coping resources was 144.5/225.0 with a range 93.0 to 190.0. The highest mean score of item according to the area was social support 4.0 and the lowest mean score was self care coping 2.7. 3. A significant statistical difference between age, religion, spending money and SOC was found. 4. Significant statistical difference between age, educational level, spending money, working period and coping resources were found. 5. Coping resources by the level of SOC was high in the highest group of SOC(F=6.19, p=0.00). With respect to the area of coping resources, higher group of SOC was using much coping resources generally except area of leisure. 6. SOC was positively related to age(r=0.17), working periods(r=0.16), each SOC area, coping resources and all area of them except leisure. 7. The coping resources were positively related to age(r=0.21), working periods(r=0.21), SOC (r=0.49), each coping resources area, and each SOC area. In conclusion, we confirmed that the level of SOC of the subjects was low relatively and the high level of sense of coherence was related to the high score of coping resources. Therefore, it could also contribute to select suitable nurses in their fields. In the future, it's necessary to develop strategies improving SOC.

Nitrite which can be derived from water for dilution of metal working fluid can induce nitroso compounds which can be classified as carcinogen, if it co-exists with ethanolamines added for pH control in metal working fluid. The survey of nitrite, nitrate and nitroso-compounds level in 42 metal-working fluids collected from 17 factories was done by ion chromatography and gas chromatography with mass detector. Diluted metal working fluid showed higher level of nitrite and nitrate compared with raw fluid. Nitrite was detected in 11 (52%) samples among 21 diluted solution. Three (14%) samples showed over German recommendation level ($20{\mu}g/mL$).N-nitrosodiethanolamine(NDELA) was detected in 18 samples among 21 diluted solution. Seven (33%) samples showed over German recommendation level ($5{\mu}g/mL$). The concentration of NDELA was correlated with nitrite ion ($R^2=0.453$, n=19).
