The purpose of this study was to examine the variation in professors' satisfaction with faculty development programs and in their teaching efficacy according to their demographic characteristics and the rate of participation in faculty development programs in a medical school. The data were collected from 59 faculty members who participated in the Professor's Seminar. The questionnaire consisted of three parts: general background of the respondent; satisfaction with the faculty development program; and teaching efficacy. The data were analyzed by methods of descriptive analysis, analysis of variance, and the Mann-Whitney U-test. The program satisfaction of faculty members was significantly different by the years of educational career but it was not different by job status, specialty, gender, and the participation level in faculty programs. The faculty members' teaching efficacy differed significantly by gender and the participation level in faculty programs, while it did not differ by educational career, job status, or specialty. The results of this study suggest that various faculty programs should be developed to increase the satisfaction level of different groups of faculty members, and that they should be more focused on teaching efficacy, as it is considered to be one of the most effective way to increase the quality of education.

The uncertainty of start-ups are factors that weaken the entrepreneurial intentions of college students and prospective founders, and are also the cause of the low rate of entrepreneurship among art college students. This study tried to identify the effect of subjective norms entrepreneurial efficacy on start-up intentions. Studies have shown that entrepreneurial efficacy and subjective norms have a significant impact on start-up intentions. In addition, start-up education support has been shown to control the impact of subjective norms on start-up intentions, and start-up activity support has been shown to control the impact of subjective norms on start-up intentions, while start-up commercialization support does not control the impact of start-up efficacy or subjective norms on start-up intentions. In order to revitalize the start-up and effectively guide the start-up of art college students, it is necessary to show the social support of the people around them for the start-up and to enhance the efficacy of the start-up by supporting the prototyping activities.
