This paper investigates the effect of Team Member Exchange Quality (TMX) and technology management education on innovative behavior mediating effects of Empowerment. Innovation behavior is necessary for the continuous innovation of the organization. To that end, this paper investigates the relationship among TMX, technology management education, empowerment, and innovation behavior. Independent variables are TMX and technology management education; dependent variable is innovative behavior; and mediating variable is empowerment. The hypotheses of this paper are as follows. First, team members with a high quality of TMX will generate more innovation behavior. Second, innovation behavior will be created if team members receive a lot of technology innovation education. Third, empowerment will have a mediating effect on the relationship between TMX, technology innovation education and innovation behavior. To test these hypotheses, questionnaires were distributed and thoroughly analyzed using correlation analysis, multiple regression, and mediating effect analysis. Until now, there have been many previous studies investigating innovative behavior; however, this paper is still meaningful in that this study focused on the effects of TMX and Technology management education on innovative behavior mediating the effects of empowerment.

The structural model group effects between boy and girl groups were also investigated. Data was employed from the 'Korean Children and Youth Well-Being Index Survey, 2018' while subjects of the analysis included 5,144 students. Based on the education statistics data, the sample was collected by probability proportional to size. Results utilizing structural equation modeling and multigroup analysis showed that first, school stress, friend stress, and look stress had significant effects on adolescent happiness. School life adjustment had positive significant effects on adolescents' happiness. Parent stress, money stress and school stress had significant effects on school life adjustment. Second, the mediating effect of school life adjustment between stress and happiness was significant with parent, school stress, and financial stress. Third, results of the multi-group analysis by level and gender showed that the structure was similar between boys and girls, with the only differences among mediating effects. Boys had significant mediating effects by school stress, and financial stress, while girls had significant mediating effects by school stress, financial stress, and parent stress. Finally, based on the results of the study, practice and policy implications were suggested to support the promotion of adolescents' happiness.

Methods: The participants were 318 out-of-school adolescents, with data taken from the 5th out-of-school youth panel survey (2017). The data were analyzed using hierarchical multiple linear regression with the IBM SPSS statistics 24.0 program. In addition, bootstrapping was used to verify the mediating effects. Results: Stigma was positively correlated with depression and self-esteem and ego-resiliency were negatively correlated with depression respectively. Also, self-esteem and ego-resiliency had a partial mediating effect on the relationship between social stigma and depression. Conclusion: The findings indicate that self-esteem and ego-resiliency are important factors related to depression in out-of-school adolescents.

Purpose: This study was done to investigate the factors affecting organizational commitment and turnover intention of hospital nurses. Empirical analysis on the mediating effect of the person-environment fit of organizational commitment and turnover intention and factors affecting this relationship were also examined. Methods: Participants were nurses working in 4 university hospitals in Seoul or Busan. Data were collected between July 27 and Aug. 10, 2012 and for the final analysis, 393 data sets were used. The fitness of models were tested using AMOS 19.0. Results: The fitness of the modified model showed high compatibility with the empirical data. In the modified model, organizational climate, professional self-concepts and person-organization fit were found to have significant effects on hospital nurses' organizational commitment. Professional self-concepts, personality, person-organization fit and person-job fit significantly affected hospital nurses' turnover intention. There was the mediating effect of person-organization fit between organizational commitment and turnover intention and factors affecting the relationship. But person-job fit was not found to have a mediating effect. Organizational commitment accounted for 49.8% and turnover intention for 39.9% of covariance in these factors. Conclusion: Nursing strategy for enhancing professional self-concepts and person-organizational fit should be planned by nursing managers.
