The general aspects for the future warfare shows that the concept of firepower and maneuver centric warfare has been replacing with that of information and knowledge centric warfare. Thus, some developed countries are now trying to establish the information systems to perform intelligent warfare and innovate defense operations. The C4I(Command, Control, Communication, Computers and Intelligence for the Warrior) systems make it possible to do modern and systematic war operations. The basic idea of this study is to investigate how TAM(Technology Acceptance Model) can explain the acceptance behavior in military organizations. Because TAM is inadequate in explaining the acceptance processes forcomplex technologies and strict organizations, a revised research model based upon TAM was developed in order to assess the usage of the C4I system. The purpose of this study is to investigate factors affecting the usage of C4I in the Korean Army. The research model, based upon TAM, was extended through a belief construct such as self-efficacy as one of mediating variables. The self-efficacy has been used as a mediating variable for technology acceptance, and the variable was included in the research model. The external variables were selected on the basis of previous research. The external variables can be classified into following: 1) technological, 2) organizational, and 3) environmental factors on the basis of TOE(Technology-Organization-Environment) framework. The technological factor includes the information quality and the task-technology fitness. The organizational factor includes the influence of senior colleagues. The environmental factor includes the education/train data. The external variables are considered very important for explaining the behavior patterns of information technology or systems. A structured questionnaire was developed and administrated to those who were using the C4I system. Total 329 data were used for statistical data analyses. A confirmatory factor analysis and structured equation model were used as main statistical methods. Model fitness Indexes for measurement and structured models were verified before all 18 hypotheses were tested. This study shows that the perceived usefulness and the self-efficacy played their roles more than the perceived ease of use did in TAM. In military organizations, the perceived usefulness showed its mediating effects between external variables and dependent variable, but the perceived ease of use did not. These results imply that the perceived usefulness can explain the acceptance processes better than the perceived ease of use in the army. The self-efficacy was also used as one of the three mediating variables, and showed its mediating effects in explaining the acceptance processes. Such results also show that the self-efficacy can be selected as one possible belief construct in TAM. The perceived usefulness was influenced by such factors as senior colleagues, the information quality, and the task-technology fitness. The self-efficacy was affected by education/train and task-technology fitness. The actual usage of C4I was influenced not by the perceived ease of use but by the perceived usefulness and selfefficacy. This study suggests the followings: (1) An extended TAM can be applied to such strict organizations as the army; (2) Three mediation variables are included in the research model and tested at real situations; and (3) Several other implications are discussed.

We were already thrown into the modern by the Japanese before reflecting the relevance of modernization and acceptance, and the value of the modern was postponed. The late period of Chosun, people sank into a state of torpor and traditional culture and ideology has caused people to have a negative perception of modern times.Modern times, however, are defined in the relative concept of tradition and modernity in the history of modern times. In order to understand the modern era and its origin, it is necessary to look squarely at the face of modernity. Failure of modern times is a failure of traditional succession.So, if we analyze the causes of the failure of the traditional heritage, why can't we see some of the reasons why we perceive it as a failure? In this thesis, it seeks to understand the diverse views of the traditional elites of the journal and the newspaper, which are published in the traditional education of the journal, and are looking at a variety of views. Moreover, we should seek to explore the traditional elements of the new tradition by discussing the aspects of the educational problems caused by the cause of the accidental break and the educational problems caused by its results.

Purpose: This research delves into the topic by exploring the impacts of the Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology (UTAUT) on the fourth industrial setting. As the study begins with a comprehensive review of the literature to find other scholars' contributions, the present authors try to synthesize and integrate scattered related topics in the literature dataset. Research design, data and methodology: We used a descriptive, causal, and explanatory research design hybrid. A causal research design is an approach used to investigate the interaction and relationship between given variables. The screening began with searching using keywords, filtering using the inclusion criteria, and arriving at the final set of sources. Results: There were four crucial findings: 1. The Performance Expectancy Construct Has Strongly Influenced and Influenced the Decision to Acquire and Use a Given Technology. 2. Effort Expectancy Construct Has Influenced the Trends of Adopting. 3. Social Influence and Impact on Choice and Use of Technologies. 4. Facilitating Conditions as A Factor in Modern Production and Consumption. Conclusions: All in all, UTAUT is used in a predictive manner and very instrumental for the producers and users of various technologies. Four primary constructs are critical in making the theory complete, essential, and reliable within the fourth industrial setting.

The purpose of this study is to establish the direction and direction of the establishment of a free verse as the concept of the unit of rhythm and writing(律文一致) in the process of forming a modern free verse and to argue about it. In general, it was free verse under the influence of symbolism that our poetry was chosen from the threshold of modern times as a new poetic form of modern times. However, in the reality of Joseon, language has not yet been organized. Although the language of poetry has a distinction from the customs of ordinary languages, the analysis and understanding of poetry has been forced to presuppose an understanding of the language text. For the same reason, literary officials who sought the modern era of Joseon had to think about the rhythm of being referred to as the phonetic level. For this reason, in the phase of seeking a new prototype through the acceptance of modern early Western literature, the question of the universal nature of poetry was mainly directed through the theoretical question of "what is poetry?" But as the perception of the Korean language expanded, it focused on the agony of the Joseon Dynasty amid the special context of 'What is Joseon Dynasty?' In particular, Kim Eok's theory of poetry is an example of whether to understand the rhythm, which correspond to the phonetic stratum of language, at the formal level. This is the process of eventually passing on the fundamental question of "What is poetry?" to the special question of "What is Joseon poetry?" and could result in the question of how to match Joseon's writing and phonetic structure. 「格調詩形論小考」 is an example of this concern.
