It is well known that ISO 9001 and TQM have significant effects on business success. We analyzed the effects of ISO 9001 requirements and TQM on financial performance with structural equation modeling. Hypotheses are proposed and tested based on existing beliefs, proposition and prior research concerning quality. Survey data were collected from 291 manufacturing companies with ISO 9001 certifications. The data show that ISO 9001:2008 requirements have significant positive direct effects on TQM practices, but do not have positive direct effects on financial performance. As expected, TQM has significant positive direct effects on financial performance. One of the important results is that efforts to meet ISO 9001:2008 requirements enhance TQM practices which, in turn, helps to improve financial performance. Findings in this study support the claims that ISO 9001:2008 would be a good step toward total quality management and is a meaningful component of TQM.

In addition to a range of H&S documentation, a range of actions, beliefs, interventions, practices, and states are important in terms of achieving optimum construction H&S. Conclusions include that H&S documentation facilitates and assists planning, organising, leading, controlling, and coordinating H&S. Furthermore, current H&S documentation: is inappropriate in that it can be complex, generic, lengthy, onerous, repetitive (duplicative), and vague; engenders dubious practices; generally, 'does not add the potential value'; shifts the focus from the physical process, and could be improved. Recommendations include: industry associations should review their 'audit system' to interrogate the allocation of points; H&S documents must reflect the intention of the requirement; the synergy between H&S documentation, and actions, interventions, and practices should be investigated, digested, and focused upon, and 'audits', or rather inspections, should focus more on the physical process, actions, interventions, and practices, than documentation.

This research delves into the evolving interplay between occupational diseases, work-related illnesses, and accidents in the construction industry, focusing on the past twenty years. One significant discovery is the 19-fold escalation in reported occupational diseases, prompting an examination of their root causes and connections to workplace environments. Frequently encountered work-related ailments include physically strenuous tasks, low back pain, and cerebrovascular issues, highlighting the need for robust prevention and management approaches. Predominantly, noise-induced hearing loss and pneumoconiosis are the most common occupational diseases. The study unveils notable correlations between specific work-related illnesses and accidents, indicating the necessity for bespoke safety measures. Additionally, a pronounced association between work-related illnesses and occupational diseases offers insights into underlying risk factors. Remarkably, the findings propose a bidirectional link between occupational diseases and accidents, challenging traditional beliefs about causality. These insights are pivotal for enhancing safety protocols, focusing on preventive measures, and foreseeing occupational diseases that may arise following accidents in the construction industry.

The present study has investigated and explored the role of Sungkyunkwan during the Joseon Dynasty and implications for modern education in South Korea using numerous literature dataset, such as google Scholar, Scopus, Web of Science. Sungkyunkwan had a significant role in the Joseon dynasty's academic, social and political life. They were known as Sungkyunkwan scholars and were the elite group with a significant controlling influence over the governmental structure. In addition, they influenced policy-making, judiciary, and culture preservation through their understanding and application of Confucianism. More specifically, the Sungkyunkwan graduates were appointed to serve in many administrative capacities in Hanyang and other city provinces, spreading the culture and beliefs of Sungkyunkwan throughout the kingdom. According to the prior study, South Korea faces the issues of modernity; however, the approaches brought by Sungkyunkwan and the concept of education that was adopted still have their relevance. Education in modern Korean society is closely connected with scholars; schools and universities are built to cultivate brilliant individuals with solid morals and values for society. The spirit of Sungkyunkwan, which is about diligence, perseverance, and ethical conduct, is still rooted in the Korean educational system.

We're living in a world of one global village. The globalization of business is acceleration as more companies cross national borders to find customers, materials and money. Many foreign companies and organizations are doing their business aggressively in Korea and many Korean companies and rushing into foreign market. When people communicate for business with someone from another culture, there could be difficult communication barriers to overcome resulting from differences in their values, beliefs, norms for behavior, expectations, attitudes and so on. To do successfully business, we need to understand culture background and communication style that is different from nation, race, language. Communication barriers stemming from cultural differences may vary. Largely, they can be divided into value system, non-verbal communication, and perception process. Value system can be divided into individualism versus group orientation, avoidance of uncertainty degree, power distance, and high- context culture versus low-context culture. Also non-verbal communication method and perception process may play decisive roles in communication effectiveness. Especially nonverbal communication barriers which sometimes play more important roles than the verbal parts are composed of eye contact, gesture, kinesics, proxemics, chronemics, paralanguage and language of color Cross-cultural communication affect business situation. I expect that if we understand cultural background, and then we overcome cross-cultural communication barriers. To overcome and to adapt inter-cultural business, we need to develope curriculum on the cross-cultural education which I will study in the next paper.

Today, it is not difficult to use information technology (IT), especially, Internet based ones. Many people can not only access IT without learning how to use it but also find and develop new techniques and usages which couldn't be expected by system engineers or designers. This is owing to social interactions among users as well as advancement of IT. Theoretically, such social interactions in using IT can be well explained by adaptive structuration theory (AST) which has been considered as one of trying to capture the change of using IT due to social interactions between users and system. This study is to analyze the relationship between social interactions and motivation in using IT which can determine attitude and intention of using IT. For this purpose we provide a research model, in which two AST related variables, faithfulness of appropriation and consensus on appropriation, are independent variables and three beliefs for using IT, usefulness, ease of use and playfulness, are dependent ones. Additionally, for reflection of changing uses, usefulness is formed as second order factor by two first order factors-usefulness of self-expression and communication. An empirical test of our model for blog users which is analyzed by Partial Least Square method shows supporting most of hypotheses except one, consensus-ease of use.

This research aims to shed light on the technology adoption process and its drivers in the Vietnamese educational system. Research data was collected with an online questionnaire from more than 600 teachers in primary schools, secondary schools, high schools, colleges, and universities in Vietnam in 2020. Based on a holistic literature review, we develop a model of two extrinsic factors (global needs and school-infrastructure), and two intrinsic factors (teachers' technological literacy and their beliefs), which are correlated with the teachers' technological adoption. We measure the dependent variable by asking the teachers' ability and their efficacy to implement technology in teaching according to a Likert scale. With the support of SPSS_22 and STATA_2015, we find that over 70% of changes in technology adoption are explained by the changes in four independent variables and three control variables related to age, gender, and teaching-level of the teachers. Furthermore, these independent variables are significantly and positively associated with two dependent variables. However, a significant difference in technology integration ability can be seen among teachers' gender, age, and school-level. Specifically, male teachers seem to adopt technology at schools than female teachers better, and university teachers have the lowest level of technology adoption compared to other school-level teachers.

Safety culture is a collection of the beliefs, perceptions and values that employees share in relation to risks within an organisation. On the other hand, a resilient safety culture (RSC) means a culture with readiness of the organisation to respond effectively under stress, bounce back from shocks and continuously learn from them. RSC helps organisations to protect their interest which can be attributed to behavioural, psychological and managerial capabilities of the organization. Quantification of the degree of resilience in an organisation's safety culture can provide insights about the strong and weak links of the organisation's overall health and safety situation by identifying potential causes of system or sub-system failure. One of the major challenges of quantification of RSC is that the attributes that determine RSC need to be measured through constructs and indicators which are complex and often interrelated. In this paper, we address this challenge by applying a fault tree analysis (FTA) technique which can help analyse complex and interrelated constructs and indicators. The fault tree model of RSC is used to evaluate resilience levels of two organisations with remote and urban locations in order to demonstrate the failure path of the weak links in the RSC model.

한국 민간신앙 의례에서 의례음식은 빠트릴 수 없는 필수 요소의 하나이다. 이는아주 간단한 치성도 맑은 물 한 사발이라도 올려야 가능한 것을 통해서 확인된다. 이런점에서 민간신앙 의례를 신과 인간이 만나 소통하는 것이라 할 때, 음식은 신과 인간이소통하는 핵심적 매체 가운데 하나라고 말할 수 있다. 한국 민간신앙에서 의례음식이 가장 두드러진 사례로 무속의 대표적 의례인 굿을 들 수 있다. 무속의 굿에서 두드러진 현상 가운데 하나가 여러 제상에 차린 다양한 음식이다. 그리고 의례음식이 없는 굿은 성립되지 않는다. 또한 굿에서 의례음식은 신을 위한 단순한 제물에 그치지 않는다. 그것은 신을 위한 제물이면서, 아울러 굿의 성격, 무속의 신, 굿을 하는 제가집 등 굿 전반에 대한 포괄적 정보를 함축하고 있는 기호이기도 하다. 또한 굿 의례음식을 통해 무속 세계관이 구체화되기도 한다. 이런 점에서 굿 의례음식은 무속과 굿을 이해하는 중요한 통로이며, 무속에 대한 설명체계의 하나라고 말할 수 있다. 이런 중요성에도 불구하고, 기존 무속 연구에서 의례음식은 그에 걸맞는 충분한 관심을 받지 못했다. 무당 중심적인 관점에서 굿에서 나타나는 무당의 말과 행위를 통해굿과 무속을 이해하려는 연구가 지속되었을 뿐, 의례음식을 통해 굿과 무속을 이해하고자 하는 시도는 거의 이뤄지지 않았다. 기존 무속연구에 대한 이러한 비판적 문제의식 하에 이 글은 서울 진적굿 의례음식을 자료로 굿 의례음식의 특징과 의미를 밝히고자 하였다. 서울 진적굿을 자료로 선택한것은 굿 의례음식의 특징 가운데 하나인 굿 의례음식과 의례 공간의 상관성을 확인할 수있는 적절한 자료를 제공하기 때문이다. 이 글은 먼저 서울 진적굿의 과정을 제상과 제상이 놓인 공간을 중심으로 간략히 살펴보았다. 그리고 굿 의례음식의 구성, 의례음식이차려지는 방식과 공간을 중심으로 개별성이 굿 의례음식의 특징임을 지적하였다. 이를 토대로 굿 의례음식이 무속에 대한 하나의 설명체계로서, 굿과 무속을 이해하는 데 중요한 통로가 된다는 점을 밝혔다.

이 연구는 창조적 광고콘텐츠 제작을 위한 생산자의 스토리 생산체계와 광고 수용자의 의미 해석 과정이 기억원리 및 신념의 형성과 밀접함을 논의하는 것과 동시에 이러한 인지적 해석 코드가 대학생의 올바른 문화읽기를 위한 필수요건임을 규명하는 데 그 목적을 두었다. 설득을 목적에 둔 광고 콘텐츠의 생산은 목표 수용자의 인지원리에 기댄 시대적 사유체계를 우선적으로 파악해야 한다. 간명한 실험 분석을 통해 생산자의 의도된 스토리의 표본이 대학생 수용자가 기억하는 정보들의 단서들과 불일치할 가능성을 확인하는 핵심 단서들을 찾을 수 있었다. 이러한 핵심 단서들을 조합한 의미 분석 도구를 체계화하고 대학생 학습자에게 올바른 시대의 문화읽기를 위한 도구로써 시도해 보았다. 그 결과 대학생 수용자는 광고콘텐츠의 일차적 언어 및 비언어 표현의 단면적 분석이 아닌 자신의 주관적 경험과 신념에 바탕을 둔 새로운 인지적 기호 문화 읽기라는 적극적 의사소통의 한 일면을 확인할 수 있었다. 앞으로 광고콘텐츠 스토리 생산자가 이러한 과정을 미리 확인하는 작업을 가진다면 수용자의 설득에 도움이 되는 성과를 이룰 것이다.
