This study analyzed the relationship of turnover intention of clinical nurses with self-leadership, job involvement, and empowerment. The participants were 173 clinical nurses working in D city and K province in Korea. Data analysis consisted of independent t-tests, ANOVA, Scheffe's tests, Pearson's correlations, and stepwise multiple regression conducted using SPSS WIN 21.0. There was a significant correlation between self-leadership, job involvement, empowerment and turnover intention. Factors affecting turnover intention were total clinical career, position, salary, marital status and job involvement. Total clinical career was the most influential factor, with an explanatory power of 28.7%. Based on the results, it is necessary to reduce turnover intention of nurses through the development of educational programs to increase job involvement and reorganization of the hospital organization system to manage nursing manpower resources efficiently.

The present study identified the determinants of the behavioral intention to purchase an air purifier. This work further examined the moderating effect of interactivity readiness on the relation between the purchase intention and the word-of-mouth (WOM) intention. Our conceptual model included a second-order construct of SNS WOM richness, consisting of three first-order constucts of SNS WOM relevancy, timeliness and sufficiency. Furthermore, SNS WOM usefulness and credibility were incorporated into the model to predict the purchase intention. A total of 312 respondents participated in the survey study. A series of scale refinement processes were performed and a structural equation model analysis was conducted to verify our research hypotheses. The results indicated that SNS WOM richness was found to be significantly predictive of both SNS WOM usefulness and credibility, which in turn, had significant impacts on purchase intention. In addition, results revealed that purchase intention had a significant and positive influence on WOM intention. However, results failed to verify the moderating effect of interactivity readiness on the influence of behavioral intention on WOM intention.

This study was conducted to investigate the mediated effects of self-efficacy in relation to communication competency within the medical team and turnover intention of hospital nurses. Data were collected from 208 nurses working at two university hospitals. In analyzing data using SPSS/WIN 23.0 program, descriptive statistics, t-test, ANOVA, Pearson's correlation coefficient and after analyzed with Multiple regression analysis using Baron & Kenny's 3 stage procedure, confirmed indirect effect with Sobel test. Evaluation of relationships among communication competency, turnover intention and self-efficacy of subjects revealed a negative relationship(r=-0.22, p=0.001) between communication competency and turnover intention, a positive relationship(r=0.61, p<0.001) between communication competency and self-efficacy and a negative relationship(r=-0.25, <0.001) between self-efficacy and turnover intention. Concerning the mediated effect of self-efficacy in the relationship between communication competency and turnover intention, the influence of communication competency at stage 1 on turnover intention was significant(${\beta}=-0.22$, p<0.001), but communication competency at stage 3 had no significant influence on turnover intention(${\beta}=-0.11$, p=0.194). Accordingly, the mediated effect of self-efficacy in the relationship between communication competency and turnover intention fully mediated and the mediated effect of self-efficacy was significant(z=-2.15, p=0.032). Heightening self-efficacy by improving communication competency could effectively reduce the turnover intention of nurses.

The goal of this study is to examine the effects of a leader's behavioral integrity on subordinates' intention to leave with the mediating roles of their cognitive and affective trust in their leader. After collecting data from 357 employees in a variety of organizations, we tested hypotheses with structural equation modeling(SEM). This study shows that there are statistically significant relationships among a leader's behavioral integrity, subordinates' cognitive/affective trust and intention to leave. A leader's behavioral integrity with the fully mediating roles of subordinates' cognitive and affective trust affects on their intention to leave negatively. Limitations in this study and suggestions for the future study are discussed.

The current paper aims to analyze the influence of users' self evaluation of e-service quality and others' word-of-mouth(WOM) on customer satisfaction and revisit intention in a family restaurant web site. The research model includes the constructs of service quality, WOM, customer satisfaction, and revisit intention. This study examines the hypothesized model using data from 175 college students around the Seoul metropolitan area who have visited a family restaurant as well as used its web site during the last three months. The findings show that service quality has a significant impact on customer satisfaction and a full-mediation effect between WOM and customer satisfaction. In addition, customer satisfaction has a significant influence on revisit intention. Family restaurants need to have an effort to manage service quality factors and social influences such as online WOM in order to use a web site as a tool of customer relationship management.

The aim of this study was to provide the basic data for the betterment of public medical services. A questionnaire survey on the quality of the services and the intention of revisiting the hospital was administered to 330 patients in a public hospital located in Seoul. The mean satisfaction of hospital medical services was 4.11, whereas that of the revisiting intention was 3.94. The relationship between the satisfaction of medical services and the intention of revisiting was significant (t=11.335, p<.001). The intention of revisiting increased with increasing satisfaction of medical services of a hospital. Therefore, to enhance satisfaction, a hospital should identify the needs of people looking for a public hospital, increase rapport with the neighboring communities, and provide public amenities.

This study attempts to investigate effects of service conveniences on perceived value and customer voluntary behavioral intention in family restaurants. We categorized service conveniences in five dimensions (i.e, decision, access, transaction, benefit, and post-benefit). We considered perceived value as having three parts, namely functional, emotional, and social. We also specified three segments of customer voluntary behavioral intention as participation, cooperation, and loyalty. The results showed that service conveniences such as transaction convenience, post-benefit convenience, and benefit convenience have an influence on functional value as a perceived value, but no effect from decision convenience and acceptability[this is a new variable to me]. In addition, access and benefit conveniences affect social value. When it comes to the effects of perceived value on customer voluntary behavioral intention, social value was found to affect participation and loyalty, while functional value appeared to influence cooperation.
