Purpose: The purpose of this study was to review research papers on structural equation models for hospital nurses' turnover intentions, and to identify the factors that influence these intentions. Methods: Twenty-four research papers on structural equation models for hospital nurses' turnover intentions were identified for systematic review. Results: All 24 papers assessed nurses' turnover intentions in general hospitals and university hospitals. A total of 36 indicators and 105 items were used to measure turnover intention. Turnover intention was positively related with 10 variables, and negatively with 17 variables. Organizational commitment, job satisfaction, job stress, burnout, organizational culture, and empowerment were found to have significant direct and indirect effects on nurses' turnover intentions. Structural equation models in 23 of the 24 research papers showed high compatibility with the data. The models accounted for 20.1% 68.0% of total variances. Conclusion: The study findings show recent trends in nurses' turnover intentions, and indicate directions for future research.

The ultimate capacity of end-plate connection is investigated through nonlinear finite element analysis. The example models are divided into stiffened case and unstiffened one. The refined finite element models are analyzed by utilizing a general purpose structural analysis computer program ADINA and the moment-rotation relationships of the connection are determined. The results are compared with the regression equation deduced by Krishnamurthy. It is planned to deduce a bilinear regression equation through a parametric study on various dimensions of the connection.

PURPOSES : Traffic accidents at intersections have been increased annually so that it is required to examine the causations to reduce the accidents. However, the current existing accident models were developed mainly with non-linear regression models such as Poisson methods. These non-linear regression methods lack to reveal complicated causations for traffic accidents, though they are right choices to study randomness and non-linearity of accidents. Therefore, to reveal the complicated causations of traffic accidents, this study used structural equation methods(SEM). METHODS : SEM used in this study is a statistical technique for estimating causal relations using a combination of statistical data and qualitative causal assumptions. SEM allow exploratory modeling, meaning they are suited to theory development. The method is tested against the obtained measurement data to determine how well the model fits the data. Among the strengths of SEM is the ability to construct latent variables: variables which are not measured directly, but are estimated in the model from several measured variables. This allows the modeler to explicitly capture the unreliability of measurement in the model, which allows the structural relations between latent variables to be accurately estimated. RESULTS : The study results showed that causal factors could be grouped into 3. Factor 1 includes traffic variables, and Factor 2 contains turning traffic variables. Factor 3 consists of other road element variables such as speed limits or signal cycles. CONCLUSIONS : Non-linear regression models can be used to develop accident predictions models. However, they lack to estimate causal factors, because they select only few significant variables to raise the accuracy of the model performance. Compared to the regressions, SEM has merits to estimate causal factors affecting accidents, because it allows the structural relations between latent variables. Therefore, this study used SEM to estimate causal factors affecting accident at urban signalized intersections.

Customer satisfaction is becoming an increasingly salient topic in many firms and in academic research. One main rationale behind this interest is that customer satisfaction is believed to be associated with fruitful customer re-visit from the firm's point of view. Some country already had index models which can measure the degree of customer satisfaction. But, such models are ordinary models which used generally the scope of nation-wide /industry. Therefore, we needs some modifications to measure customer satisfaction for specific product & service and to provide the valuable feedback to specific firms. In this Perspectives, this study will evaluate the customer satisfaction index about automobile company and analyze it's result for valuable feedback. This study will present a model for an integrated customer satisfaction evaluation system which used structural equation modeling. Through this study, we anticipate that it will offer the measuring method about customer satisfaction and some guideline for product design process.

Dynamic load models which show the practical behavior of truss bridge subjected to moving train load are presented. Three basically approaches are available for evaluating structural response to dynamic effects : moving force, moving mass, and influence moving force and mass. Simple warren truss bridge model is selected in this research, and idealized lumped mass system, modelled as a planar structure. In the process of dynamic analysis, the uncoupled equation of motion is derived from simultaneous equation of the motion of truss bridge and moving train load. The solution of the uncoupled equations of motion is solved by Newmark-$\beta$ method. The results show that dynamic response of moving mass and static analysis considering the impact factor specified in the present railway bridge code was nearly the same. Generally, the dynamic response of moving force is somewhat greater than that of moving mass. The dynamic load models which are presented by this study are obtained relatively adequate load model when apply to a truss bridge.

사고발생의 주요지점인 신호교차로 교통사고 발생건수는 해마다 증가하고 있어 교통사고를 감소시키기 위한 원인 규명이 매우 필요하다. 국내에서 연구되어진 기존의 교통사고예측 모형들은 대부분 Poisson 모형 등의 비선형 회귀분석을 이용한 사고원인분석이 주를 이루고 있다. 비선형 Econometrics 분석기법들이 사고의 성격을 분석하는데 가장 중요한 통계적 기법이기는 하지만, 도로에서 발생하는 교통사고의 원인분석적 차원에서 접근하면 이런 사고예측 모형들만 가지고 사고발생의 설명변수들을 규명하는데 구조적인 한계가 발생한다. 이는 이러한 통계적 방법들이 사고의 예측력을 높이는데 중점을 두고, 이를 위해 소수의 유효한 설명변수들만을 모형식에 포함시키기 때문이다. 따라서 사고에 대해 보다 구체적인 원인규명을 위해서는 비선형회귀분석모형의 개발과 동시에 비선형 Econometrics 분석기법의 단점을 보완하는 또 다른 통계적 노력이 필요하다. 이에 본 연구에서는 Poisson기법을 이용하여 지방부 4지 신호교차로의 사고예측모형을 개발하였고, 동시에 복합적인 인과관계를 증명하는데 다중변수관계를 포괄적으로 측정하여 탐색하는 구조방정식을 이용하여 사고모형을 개발하여 Poisson 모형의 결과값과 비교 분석하였다.

This study presents the stress evaluation equations of circular column-box beam connection in steel frame piers. FEM analysis were carried out for circular column-box beam connection. Analysis models were made for design parameters such as joint angle, span length-width ratio(L/B), sectional-area ratio(S=A/sub w/A/sub f/), and circular column-box beam stiffness ratio(Ic/Ib). Analysis results were compared to the existing equation. Based on analysis results the stress evaluation equations of circular column-box beam connection are proposed by regression analysis.

This article aims to quantitatively predict the snowmelt in extreme cold regions, considering a combination of grayscale and neural models. The traditional non-equidistant GM(1,1) prediction model is optimized by adjusting the time-distance weight matrix, optimizing the background value of the differential equation and optimizing the initial value of the model, and using the BP neural network for the first. The adjusted ice forecast model has an accuracy of 0.984 and posterior variance and the average forecast error value is 1.46%. Compared with the GM(1,1) and BP network models, the accuracy of the prediction results has been significantly improved, and the quantitative prediction of the ice sheet is more accurate. The monitoring and maintenance of the structure by quantitative prediction model by gray models was clearly demonstrated in the model.

본 연구에서는 3개 일반모델(general models)의 실증분석을 통해 항목묶음(item parceling)이 구성개념간의 인과관계를 나타내는 모수의 유의성 검정 결과 및 모델의 적합도 평가에 미치는 영향을 검토하였다. 연구 결과에 의하면, 개별항목을 적용한 분석과 비교할 때 항목묶음을 통한 분석을 적용해도 모델 인과모수의 검정통계량은 그다지 변하지 않으므로 유의성 검정 결과에도 변화가 없는 것으로 나타났다. 하지만 전반적 적합도지수의 측면에서는 RMSEA를 제외한 주요 모델 적합도 지수, 즉 GFI, AGFI, CFI 및 NFI의 값들이 상당히 개선되는 경향을 보였다. 주요 모델 적합도 지수들의 값이 높아진 것은 항목묶음을 이용하여 분석을 한 결과가 개별항목을 통한 분석의 결과에 비해 다변량 정규(분포)성의 개선 등으로 인해 높아진 것으로 해석된다. 하지만 항목묶음을 적용함에 있어서 주의해야 할 사항은 적용하기 전에 구성개념의 단일차원성(unidimensionality)을 우선적으로 검토해야 한다는 점이다. 본 연구에서는 항목묶음을 이용하여 분석을 할 경우 실제 구성개념간의 인과적 관계를 나타내는 모수의 유의성 검정과 모델의 적합도 지수들에 어떤 변화가 발생하는 지를 세 개의 일반모델을 대상으로 파악하였다.

The purpose of this study is to construct a structural equation model and to analyze causal relationships among variables related to attitudes to science using structural equation modeling(SEM) with LISREL VII. The sample consisted of 483 10th grade boys from a general high school in Pusan, Korea. The questionnaires (ABC-attitude scale: affection, behavioral intention, cognition scale of attitude towards science) were developed by the researcher through a pilot study. And other instruments have modified previous ones. Five instruments were used in this study: GALT(group assessment of logical thinking), MTSlS(modified test of science inquiry skill), ABC-attitude scale, MSAS(modified scientific attitude scale), CSAT(common science achievement test). Structural equation modeling with LISREL VII($J\ddot{o}reskog$ & $S\ddot{o}rbom,$ 1993) was employed to estimate the causal inferences about hypothesized relationships among observed data sets. Three competing models consisted of five latent variable(scientific thinking ability, science inquiry skill, attitude towards science, scientific attitude, science achievement) - lP(inquiry preceding) model, AP(attitude preceding) model and AM(attitude mediating) model - were developed. Among these competing models, IP model satisfied the observed data sets. The causal relationships among "attitudes to science" and other latent variables were reliably identified. According to the results of the present study, science inquiry skill was the most significant variable that can predict science achievement. But scientific thinking ability has not directly influenced science achievement. This study suggests that inquiry based teaching-learning processes should be offered to students for improvement of science achievement. At the same time, it seems to be important to develop positive attitude towards science. Understanding of relationships among variables related to attitudes to science will be helpful to the development of science curriculum and to the design of science teaching and learning process. LISREL has been recognized as a useful approach in testing a SEM. However, in this study, LISREL approach was estimated as much more useful method for research design.
