This research attempts to see the phenomenon that how job satisfaction formulate through the analysis of structural relationships between the degrees of authenticity, self-concept, self-efficacy and organizational goals and objects. The survey collected questionnaires of the authentic leadership, self-efficacy and job satisfaction. 152 numbers of samples are collected for survey to observe empirical relationships, causal and correlation, for elucidating respected structural equation model. Structural equation modeling was carried out to explore the relationship of authentic leadership, self-efficacy, and job satisfaction. The mediation model posits that self-efficacy mediate the linkage between authentic leadership and job satisfaction. The result of this research indicates the positive impact of authenticity may not affect job satisfaction. As much leader authenticity affects positive impact to self-efficacy which is individual identity, the leader should invest them to foster the authenticity. In other words, authentic leadership on job satisfaction of subordinates is not directly affected. In order to increase job satisfaction of subordinates, leaders should be focused to raise self-efficacy.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to explore the degree of delay in waiting time, and the relationships of waiting time, patient satisfaction, and revisiting intention of outpatient in general hospitals. Methods: The data were collected from June 22 to July 4, 2009. A total of 536 outpatients who visited 21 clinics of a general hospital were subjected to evaluate the waiting time. The survey tools used were the Korea Health Industry Development Institutes (2008) tool for patient satisfaction and Reichheld & Sasser (1990) for revisiting intention. The data were analyzed by SAS version 9.1, descriptive statistics, t-test, ANOVA, and Pearson correlation coefficient. Results: The mean patient's waiting time was $28.3{\pm}30.7\;min$, the revealed mean score of patient's satisfaction was 2.92, and the revisiting intention showed was 4.56. The waiting time was negatively correlated with patient's satisfaction (r=-.10, p<.019). Patient's satisfaction was positively correlated with revisiting intention (r=-.51, p<.001). Conclusion: Waiting time management is an important factor of increasing patient's satisfaction and revisiting intention in general hospitals. It is mandatory that reservation management systems take into account the patient's characteristics of visiting outpatient department in order to shorten the real waiting time.

The purpose of this study was to determine the relationships between personality and interior environmental disposition, such as disposition toward traditional/modern, feminine/ masculine and simple/complex characteristics. Korean Testing Center's standardized test which measures activity, emotional stability, dominance, reflectiveness, sociability, autonomy, and achievement was used to measure personality. The three key disposition variables were measured using a visual instrument which was developed in this study. To create images, 3$\times$2$\times$2 factorial composition producing 12 types of images was used. Four set of images were developed to measure each categories of each dispositional characteristic controlling other systematic variables and extraneous variables effects. Thereby total 48 visual images were simulated. The subjects were 107 students. Data were analyzed using frequency, percentage, chi-square. test and pearson's correlation coefficients. Major findings were as follows; 1)Disposition toward oriental tradition were more likely appeared in higher emotional stability personality 2) Disposition toward tradition were more likely to be dominated than one toward modern in case of higher autonomy personality.

The aims of this study are 1) to construct a database using geostatistics and Geographic Information System (GIS), and 2) to derive the spatial relationships between manganese nodule abundance and other geological factors such as metal grade, slope, water depth, topography, and acoustic characteristics of the sub-bottom. Using GIS, it is possible to analyze a large amount of data efficiently, and to maximize the practical application, to increase specialization, and to enhance the accuracy of the analyses. The greater the copper and nickel grade, the higher the rating. The distribution pattern of nickel grade is similar to that of copper grade. The slopes are generally less than $3^{\circ}$ except for seamounts and cliff areas. The rating shows no correlation with slope. The rating is highest for slopes between 2.5 and $3.5^{\circ}$ in block N1 and between 4.0 and $4.5^{\circ}$ in block N3. The topography is classified into five groups: seamount, hill crest, hill slant, hill base or plain, and seafloor basin or valley. The rating proves lowest for seamount and hill crest. Our results show that the rating increases with the water depth in the study area. Nodule abundance dose not show any significant relationship with the thickness of the upper transparent layer in the study area.

The starch content of apples, which is related to the maturity and ripeness, was quantified by using a computer vision system. The stained area was measured by image analysis when an apple slice was stained with KI/I$_2$ solution. The ratio of stained area of the apple slice to its whole area, so called the starch index, was defined as an indicator of the starch content. When Tsugaru apples were manually sorted into immature, turing and mature groups, their starch indices were 0.374, 0.312 and 0.129, respectively. The starch index had relationships to various physicochemical properties of Tsugaru apples. At the statistically significant level of 0.1%, it was correlated with the pH value, bio-yield force, rupture force and color of intact and skin-removed apples. At the 1% significant level, it had the correlation with the density and moisture content.

This study explored the consistency of bullying, victimization and aggressive victimization, the relationships between bullying, victimization and aggressive victimization and overt/relational aggression, and the relationships between bullying groups and overt/relational aggression with gender. The subjects were 4th grade children and 2 years later they were contacted again. Instruments were the Bully-Behavior Scale, the Peer-Victimization Scale and the Peer Nomination Instrument. Bullying, victimization and aggressive victimization were decreased while there were consistencies in overt and relational aggression from 4th to 6th grade. In the correlation analysis, male victims at Time 1 were negatively related to overt and relational aggression at both Time 1 and Time 2. Female bullies were positively related to relational aggression at both Time 1 and Time 2. In the cross-sectional relations of overt aggression with bullying groups, there was a gender difference. In the relational aggression with bullying groups, only bullying groups had a significant difference. In the longitudinal relations of overt aggression with bullying groups, only gender had a significant difference. Males appeared to be more overtly aggressive than females. In the relational aggression, bullying groups, gender, and the interaction between bullying groups and gender had significant differences. Female bullies were more likely to be relationally aggressive than other groups.

Purpose: This study was to examine the relationships between knowledge about osteoporosis and cognitive factors in middle-aged women. Method: The subjects were 293 middle-aged women. Data collection was performed by using a questionnaire that included an Osteoporosis Knowledge Test, Osteoporosis Self-Efficacy Scale and Osteoporosis Health Belief Scale developed by Kim, Horan & Gendler(1991). Data was analyzed using the SPSS Win 10.0 program for descriptive statistics, and the Pearson correlation coefficient. Result: The mean osteoporosis knowledge was 14.0. The subscale means of osteoporosis health belief variables were: susceptibility 15.9, seriousness 17.2, benefits of exercise 22.9, benefits of calcium 21.4, barriers to exercise 20.9, barriers to calcium 22.5, and health motivation 18.6. The mean osteoporosis self-efficacy was 39.3 with a moderate score. There were significantly positive correlations among knowledge about osteoporosis, health belief, and self-efficacy about osteoporosis. Conclusion: Osteoporosis knowledge, health belief, and osteoporosis self-efficacy are related. Therefore, knowledge through education is an important factor in behavioral changes and it contributes to increase the health belief and self-efficacy of osteoporosis.

Purpose: This study was designed to examine the relationships among daily hassles, social support, entrapment and mental health status in relation to gender in university students. Methods: Data were collected via a self- administered questionnaire from 118 male and 98 female college students in Kangwon province. Data were analyzed using SPSS/WIN 18.0 program for descriptive statistics, t-test, ANOVA, Pearson correlation, and stepwise multiple regression. Results: There were significant differences in daily hassles, entrapment and depression between male and female group. Also, there were significant relationship between entrapment and mental health status (i.e. depression, anxiety, hostility, somatization) in both groups. In male students, internal entrapment was the significant predictor of depression and anxiety, and external entrapment was the significant predictor of hostility and somatization whereas, in female students external entrapment was the significant predictor of depression, and internal entrapment was the significant predictor of anxiety, hostility and somatization. Conclusion: These results suggest that entrapment is an important factor for psychological maladaptation due to stressful life events. Therefore, strategies that reduce perception of entrapment according to gender should be developed for psychological adaptation.

The present study deals with dynamical relationships between variations of common mackerel and horse mackerel catches in the waters adjacent to Korea for the years 1926 to 1969. The materials used here were obtained from Fishery Statistics published by the Bureau of Fisheries and the Fisheries Research and Development Agency of Korea, Secular variations of common mackerel and horse mackerel catches were classified intc five stages from A to E as shown in Fig. 2. As to variations of catch, the two species have alternating cycle trends occurring every ten years. With regard to the long period trend of catch, there is no correlation between annual variations of the species caught. Dynamical relationships between the two species showed a somewhat different pattern of catch as they transferred from one stage to another of the secular variations.
