  • Various risk factors are known to be the nature of construction project execution process. These factors lead to potential claims, dispute mediation, arbitration, and litigation which can result in huge loss of money and time. Therefore, it is necessary for construction companies in Korea to improve overall project management capability through the evaluation before entering into the overseas construction market. Also, after examination of the claim and dispute caused by construction project risks, a substantial degree of influence and active preparation for the claim and dispute management should be confirmed via the effect analysis of the each factors. Main claim causes were derived through claim and dispute cases involved with domestic construction projects. As a prediction result of the main claim, 16.1% of the construction change claim, 5.7% of the bad faith claim and 2.7% for the construction delay claim were found to be the portion of the total construction cost. As a result of this analysis, risk management methodology was suggested to improve a project management capability for domestic construction companies through analysis result of the main factors of construction claims.

  • It has been believed that the human body can be effected by color, sound, smell, and taste - each of them is based on the original character. Out of these elements, the color can be a mediation that absorbs energy into human body and adapts it to the creatures whose life are definitely based on the solar energy. This thesis makes a study of the possibility of applying the color to the oriental medical science by researching the color psychology and therapy which are studied in the west medical science, the recognition and application of color developed from orientalism, and the opinion of color in the oriental medical science. Color therapy is one of the psychological treatment techniques that are able to recover and maintain the health with the rays of the sun rays and the color. The light and the color have its energy that may relax, harmonize, encourage, or excite a human being. This is because the wavelength and the vibration of each color will take effects to human body. The core energy of absorbing and distributing the color vibration is made in the 7 "chakras" in the body, which are the pith and marrow of bio-energy directly connected with the center of the nervous system. There are several methods in the color therapy - the treatment of solar ray, the color-bath, the water-therapy using color energy, the inducement of the solar energy into the body, the acupuncture, the therapy of crystal and jewel, and the self-suggestion dependent upon the color. The color therapy can help us to keep our balance by changing the emotion into the positive energy that will cure the disease with color. As a result, this method not only must be useful to cure physical disease, or develop into good health but also will be used in conforming itself to the mental disease. The color therapy mainly uses the eight colors, which are made by mixing Red, Yellow and Blue basic colors in the field. They are never used in the treatment, but they will go along with complementary colors. This rule is closely connected with the theory of yin and yang which lies at the root of oriental philosophy, and with the treatment principle of oriental medical science whose field is focused on the balancing the body mentally as well as physically. In the East, it is the Obangsaek - the color of blue, red, yellow, white, and black in the theory of yin and yang and the five elements that have been used in helping people having trouble with their health for a long time. In the view of the oriental medical science, these five colors attached the theory of five-elements have been very useful to the physiology, the pathology, or the diagnosis, and been applied to the medical treatment, combining themselves with a five-taste in medicinal herbs. Since the study of color and human physiology has been made in some different interest and fields these days, it goes to prove that the different function of color we couldn't have got before becomes very useful to the medical science. The color must be worth researching the diversity for applying itself to the oriental medical science.

  • This study conducted a survey of 249 adults to determine the effect of oral health beliefs on total body health by mediating subjective oral health. The results showed that the subject's oral health belief averaged 3.75 points, the component of oral health belief was 3.41, the severity 3.73, the importance 4.22 and the benefit 4.19, and the subjective oral health was 3.77 points and the overall health was 3.06. Oral health belief and subjective oral health were found to have a correlation of wealth (r=-0.54, p<0.001), oral health belief and total body health also had a correlation of wealth(r=-0.30, p<0.001), subjective oral health and total body health had a relationship of justice(r=0.47, p<0.001). It was also found that oral health beliefs affect total body health by fully mediating subjective oral health. Based on these findings, it is thought that oral health education programs for adult oral health beliefs can be developed and utilized as basic data for comprehensive general health care, including oral health care, based on correct knowledge and attitudes.

  • This study empirically analyzed the effect of service nature of dental clinic on job satisfaction and job commitment. In recent years, the demand for medical services has been increasing in the dental clinics. As the dental clinics are faced with various competition situations through new establishment and expansion, the importance of job satisfaction and job involvement is more emphasized. The service nature of dental hospitals is known to be influenced by job satisfaction and job commitment. These two factors are important factors for securing the competitiveness of dental hospitals as well as the functions of hospitals required for survival and development of dental hospitals In this study, we analyzed the effects of labor - management relations and high-involvement work organization on the organizational satisfaction and organizational commitment affecting service nature of dental hospital. As a result of the analysis, it was found that the service nature based organization has a full mediating effect which is not established without labor relations and participatory work organization in the process of affecting job commitment. Therefore, unlike previous studies which focus on incentives or external rewards to increase job satisfaction of employees, this study concluded that internal support system reflecting service nature factors should be strengthened. Job satisfaction and job commitment, which are variables in this study, are expected to be the basis for improving competitiveness of dental hospitals. Future research should be extended to small and medium dental hospitals and dental clinics. It is also necessary to study various organizations in order to strengthen the competitiveness of the service organization by fostering the nature of service such as relationship and interactivity at the organizational level.

  • This study was to identify the influence of knowledge acquisition on creativity in an organization. We selected the learning orientation among variables related to the acquisition of knowledge and analyzed the moderating effects of motivation in the mediating process of learning orientation, professional knowledge, creative thinking ability, and the relationship between them. To this end, a research model and hypothesis were established through literature studies, and 296 questionnaires were distributed and collected from Daegu and Gyeongbuk to test hypotheses. As a result of the verification through hierarchical regression analysis, it was confirmed that learning orientation has a positive effect on creative thinking skill, and expertise has a mediating effect. And in this mediation relationship, the moderating effect of motivation was confirmed. These findings are suggestive by checking the relationship between the elements in the expression of creativity in detail and identifying the influence of learning orientation. It will be able to provide guidelines for organizational management by explaining the process of creativity through the development of knowledge.

  • The study was to examine the mediating effect of self-efficacy in learning in the relationship between the learning satisfaction and motivation to transfer of nursing students who received the psychiatric nursing convergence simulation practicum using standardized patients. Participants were 144 third grade nursing students. Data were analyzed descriptive statistics, t-test, one-way ANOVA, Pearson's correlation coefficient analysis, and multiple regression following the Baron and Kenny's method and Sobel test for mediation. There were significant correlations between learning satisfaction and self-efficacy in learning(r=.686, p<.001), learning satisfaction and motivation to transfer(r=.633, p<.001) and self-efficacy in learning and motivation to transfer(r=.804, p<.001). Self-efficacy in learning showed partial mediating effects in the relationship between learning satisfaction and motivation to transfer(Z=7.63, p<.001). To increase the motivation to transfer, strategies to enhance the self-efficacy of nursing students are required.
