Purpose - Counterproductive work behavior(CWB) was typically categorized according to the behavior whether it targets other people(i.e., interpersonal CWB: I-CWB). Employing organizations(i.e., organizational CWB: O-CWB) has emerged as major concerns among researchers, managers, and the general public. An abundance of researches has informed us about the understanding for the antecedents of CWB, whereas little is known about the antecedents of CWB directed distribution service in employee's emotional labor. Therefore, the purpose of this research is to propose a research model in which surface acting enhances emotional exhaustion as an emotional labor strategy, which eventually increases counterproductive work behavior(including I-CWM and O-CWB). Research design, data, and methodology - This empirical research data were gathered from the samples of full time frontline hotel employees(including front office, call center, food/beverage, concierge, and room service) in South Korea. Six hotels were selected ranged from four to five stars, including privately owned and joint-venture properties. A convenience sampling method was used to select hotels. Full time frontline hotel employees from the six hotels were surveyed using a self-administered instrument for data collection. With the strong support of hotel managers, a total of 300 questionnaires were distributed, and 252 responses were collected indicating a response rate of 84.0%. In the process of working with the 252 samples, structural equation modeling is employed to test research hypotheses(H1: The relationship between surface acting and Interpersonal counterproductive work behavior(I-CWB) is mediated by emotional exhaustion, H2: The relationship between surface acting and organizational counterproductive work behavior(O-CWB) is mediated by emotional exhaustion). SPSS 18.0 and M-Plus 7.31 software were used for the data analysis. Descriptive statistics were used to assess the distribution of the employee profiles and correlations between factors. M-Plus 7.31 software was used to test the model fit, validity, and reliability of the factors, significance of the relationship between factors, and the effects of factors in the model. Results - To test our mediation hypotheses, we used an analytical strategy suggested by Preacher & Hayes (2008) and Shrout & Bolger (2002). This mediation approach directly tests the indirect effect between the predictor and the criterion variables through the mediator via a bootstrapping procedure. Thus, it addresses some weaknesses associated with the Sobel test. We found that surface acting was positively related to emotional exhaustion. Furthermore, emotional exhaustion was a significant predictor from the two kinds of counterproductive work behavior. In addition, surface acting was not significantly associated with the two kinds of counterproductive work behavior. These results indicated that the surface acting by frontline hotel employees was associated with higher emotional exhaustion, which is related with higher interpersonal counterproductive work behavior(I-CWB) and organizational counterproductive work behavior(O-CWB). In sum, we confirmed that the positive relationship between surface acting and the two kinds of counterproductive work behavior was fully mediated by emotional exhaustion. Conclusions - The current research broadens the conceptual work and empirical studies in counterproductive work behavior literature by representing a fundamental mechanism that how surface acting affects counterproductive work behavior.

공 교의료보험 적용대상자들 중 1992년 건강검진 수검 피보험자와 1993년 건강검진 수검 피부양자를 대상으로 사망에 영향을 미치는 요인에 관한 코호트내 환자-대조군 연구를 실시한 결과는 다음과 같다. '93-'97년도 자료의 분석에서 사망과 정상관 관계를 보인 변수는 수축기 혈압, 이완기 혈압, 혈당, AST, 요당, 요단백, 음주('자주 마신다'), 흡연, 건강인지, 영양제 복용, 수혈이었다. 사망과 역상관 관계를 보인 변수는 커피 음용이었다. 비만도와 혈중 콜레스테롤은 사망과 J형의 상관관계를 보였다. '96-97년 자료만을 이용하여 분석한 경우도 '93-'97년 자료와 관련성의 방향은 동일하였으나, 비만$(25-30kg/m^2)$과 콜레스테롤(240 mg/dL이상)의 사망 예방효과는 '93-'97년 자료에 비해 '96-'97년 자료에서 감소함으로써 '93-'94년 자료에 결과-원인 관계가 일부 개재되었을 가능성을 배제할 수 없었다.

본 연구는 항공 LiDAR DEM을 생산하는 FUSION 소프트웨어의 GroundFilter 모듈의 필터링 알고리즘(FA)과 GridSurfaceCreate 모듈의 보간 알고리즘(IA) 패러미터 수준 변화의 DEM 정확도에 대한 영향여부를 평가하고, 가장 정확한 해발고도 정보를 제공하는 LiDAR DEM을 생산하기 위한 패러미터 수준을 제시하고자 하였다. FA의 median 패러미터($F_{md}$), mean 패러미터($F_{mn}$) 및 IA의 median 패러미터($I_{md}$), mean 패러미터($I_{mn}$)에 대해 5개 수준(1, 3, 5, 7 및 9)을 적용한 조합의 변화에 따라 DEM의 정확도에 대한 영향 여부를 평가하기 위해 DEM 결과물의 해발고도와 실측한 현장 해발고도 간의 잔차를 종속변수로 선정하였다. 이후 패러미터의 수준 변화가 잔차 변화에 대한 영향 여부를 검정하는 다원분산분석을 실시하고, 다원분산분석 결과에서 유의미한 영향이 있는 변수의 패러미터 수준들을 잔차에 대한 영향이 차이가 나는 집단으로 그룹화하기 위해 사후검정인 Tukey HSD를 수행하였다. 다원분산분석 결과, 개별 $F_{md}$, $F_{mn}$, $I_{mn}$에서의 수준 변화와 잔차 변화 사이에 유의미한 관계가 있었으며, $I_{mn}$은 유의미한 영향이 없었다. 아울러 $F_{md}$와 $F_{mn}$의 패러미터 조합의 상호작용효과가 잔차 변화에 유의미한 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 이에 따라 $F_{md}$와 $F_{mn}$의 수준 및 $F_{md}{\ast}F_{mn}$ 상호작용 수준 그리고 $I_{mn}$의 수준이 DEM 정확도에 영향을 주는 요인으로 판단된다. $F_{md}{\ast}F_{mn}$의 조합에 대한 사후검정 결과, 잔차들의 평균 차이에 따라 네 개의 집단으로 나뉘었으며, 그중 '$9{\ast}3$' 조합이 가장 정확도가 높았으며, '$1{\ast}1$' 조합이 가장 낮은 정확도를 나타내었다. $I_{mn}$의 사후검정 결과, 세 개의 집단으로 나뉘었으며, 그중 수준 '3'과 '1'이 가장 낮은 잔차 평균값을 나타내었다. 따라서 가장 정확한 해발고도 정보를 제공하는 항공 LiDAR DEM의 생성을 위하여 $F_{md}{\ast}F_{mn}$의 조합이 수준 '$9{\ast}3$', $I_{mn}$은 수준 '3' 혹은 '1'인 조건을 우선적으로 고려해야할 것으로 판단된다. 본 연구는 LiDAR 자료 기반의 산림속성정보를 추출하는 연구들의 정확도 향상에 기여할 수 있을 것으로 사료된다.

최근 급변하는 글로벌 시장에서 융복합 산업의 시대와 기술의 진보가 모든 기업을 단일 기업으로 해결할 수 없는 시대로 접어들면서 기업 단위의 경쟁보다는 네트워크 경쟁으로 변화하고 있다. 경쟁적 기업 환경에서는 기업의 개별적 노력뿐만 아니라 파트너들과의 발전적인 상호 혁신활동을 통해 서로의 성과를 높이는 노력이 절실하다. 최근 핵심 역량이나 혁신활동을 통해 기업의 연구와 운용에 활용 했음에도 불구하고 기업성과에 도출하지 못하는 기업들이 존재함에 주목하여 연구를 시작하였다. 본 연구는 대 중소기업농어업협력재단에서 수행하는 "생산성혁신파트너십사업"에 참여하는 경영자 또는 책임자를 대상으로 혁신활동이 핵심역량과 기업성과에 미치는 영향을 조사하였다. 변수의 세부 요인별로 기존 연구에서 검증된 항목을 발췌하여 검정하였으며, 중소기업의 혁신활동이 핵심역량과 기업성과에 미치는 영향을 규명하였다. 혁신활동을 매개변수로 핵심역량과 기업성과 간의 관계를 검정하였다. 혁신활동의 매개 효과에 대한 검정에서 이러한 중소기업의 혁신활동(대기업과의 기술, 제조, 경영혁신 활동)이 생산성혁신 파트너십을 통해서 핵심역량이 기업성과에 유의한 영향을 있는 것으로 나타났다. 즉, 중소기업 스스로의 역량으로는 기업성과를 이루기가 어려우며, 대기업과 협력관계를 활용한 혁신활동의 매개적인 역할이 기업성과가 나타남을 알 수 있었다. 대기업과 중소기업 간 상생협력 혁신활동은 무엇보다 중요한 이슈이며, 실증분석을 통해 이를 검정했다는 것이 본 논문의 의의라고 말할 수 있다.

This study aims to enhance work efficiency and satisfaction by offering data that make a physical therapist cope with stress coming from the job efficiently by identifying and analyzing the job satisfaction and work stress perceived by a physical therapist, and the level of reaction of a physical therapist. The study distributed survey questionnaires to 300 physical therapists working in medical institutions in Busan via mail and by visit from March 3, 2007 by selecting them simply and randomly from the physical therapist list, and collected the questionnaires by March 20, 2007, 103 respondents were working at 17 general hospitals including a university hospital, 65 respondents at 12 medical centers, and 79 respondents at 39 doctor's offices. The study collected 251 copies, which showed the collection rate of 83.7%, and analyzed 247 copies (82.3%) excluding 4 copies of insincere answers. As a research tool for measuring job satisfaction the study used a tool employed for research into the job satisfaction of physical therapists who work at medical institutions in Gwangju, Jeonnam, and Jeonbuk by Kim Hee-Gwon(1992) and research regarding job satisfaction by Jeong Jeong-Hee(2004) as well as research regarding the factors of job satisfaction by Flippo(1980) & Seberhagen(1970) after adjusting the research tools to the purpose of the study. Also for questions about work stress, the study employed nurses' job stress measurement tool developed by Kim Mae-Ja and em Mi-Ok(1984) by modifying the tool to the purpose of the study, and for a measurement tool for reaction to stress, the study used a tool employed for research into reaction to stress of nurses at general hospitals by Choi Eun-Deok(2005) without modification. For data analysis, the study used the SPSS12.0 as a statistical method, and then used t-test or ANOVA for verifying actual numbers, percentile, average :score, standard deviation, rank, and difference. Also, the study conducted which is a post-test method for variables that show a significant difference at the level of p<.05 level after the analysis. The findings include the following. 1) The respondents' job satisfaction score was 3.21 points on the average (out of 5 full points). The peer relationship ranked the highest, posting 4.02 points on the average, and the job satisfaction with rewards was proven the lowest, posting 2.51 points. For the job satisfaction level by characteristics, there were significant differences (p<.05) in gender, hospital type, weekly working hours, monthly working days, number of patients per day, department in charge of therapy, and number of peers, and there was no significant difference in characteristics other than that. 2) The respondents' work stress score was 2.72 points (out of 5 full points) on the average. The respondents were shown to be under the highest stress when they suffered from excessive workload, posting 3.49 points on the average, and they were shown to be under the least stress when they had a conflict with peers at another department, recording 1.90 points on the average. for the job stress level by the characteristics of job, there was a significant difference in the reflection of job assessment(p<.05). 3) 1n respondents' reaction to stress, most of them were shown to make efforts in coping with stress, posting 2.80 points (out of 5 full points). For their experience of being wider stress, they answered that 'they felt depressed (2.85 points)" for their experience of coping with stress, they answered that 'they were indifferent to it or thought about something else' (2.62 points). Also, for their efforts in coping with stress, they answered that 'they were motivated to remove their strain by taking leave, playing, or using their preferences' (3.52 points), which ranked higher. For the level of reaction to stress by characteristics, there were significant differences by age, gender, marital status, total service years as a physical therapist, monthly working days, and department in charge of therapy(p<.05). It is necessary to offer correct information by conducting an in-depth analysis of the stressful situations of physical therapists who exert efforts in rehabilitating patients at hospitals by factor, and seeking management plans based on the research results. Also, it is necessary to develop a program for coping with stress efficiently for removing stress and to conduct research into the understanding and cooperation of administrators and persons in charge of physical therapists for reducing physical therapists' stress at hospitals.
