  • 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.

  • With the development of related technologies, Location-Based Services (LBS) are growing fast and being used in many ways. Past LBS studies have focused on adoption of LBS because of the fact that LBS users have privacy concerns regarding revealing their location information. Meanwhile, the number of LBS users and revenues from LBS are growing rapidly because users can get some benefits by revealing their location information. Little research has been done on how LBS affects consumers' information search behavior in product purchase. The purpose of this paper is examining the effect of LBS information filtering on buyers' uncertainty and their information search behavior. When consumers purchase a product, they try to reduce uncertainty by searching information. Generally, there are two types of uncertainties - knowledge uncertainty and choice uncertainty. Knowledge uncertainty refers to the lack of information on what kinds of alternatives are available in the market and/or their important attributes. Therefore, consumers having knowledge uncertainty will have difficulties in identifying what alternatives exist in the market to fulfil their needs. Choice uncertainty refers to the lack of information about consumers' own preferences and which alternative will fit in their needs. Therefore, consumers with choice uncertainty have difficulties selecting best product among available alternatives.. According to economics of information theory, consumers narrow the scope of information search when knowledge uncertainty is high. It is because consumers' information search cost is high when their knowledge uncertainty is high. If people do not know available alternatives and their attributes, it takes time and cognitive efforts for them to acquire information about available alternatives. Therefore, they will reduce search breadth. For people with high knowledge uncertainty, the information about products and their attributes is new and of high value for them. Therefore, they will conduct searches more in-depth because they have incentive to acquire more information. When people have high choice uncertainty, people tend to search information about more alternatives. It is because increased search breadth will improve their chances to find better alternative for them. On the other hand, since human's cognitive capacity is limited, the increased search breadth (more alternatives) will reduce the depth of information search for each alternative. Consumers with high choice uncertainty will spend less time and effort for each alternative because considering more alternatives will increase their utility. LBS provides users with the capability to screen alternatives based on the distance from them, which reduces information search costs. Therefore, it is expected that LBS will help users consider more alternatives even when they have high knowledge uncertainty. LBS provides distance information, which helps users choose alternatives appropriate for them. Therefore, users will perceive lower choice uncertainty when they use LBS. In order to test the hypotheses, we selected 80 students and assigned them to one of the two experiment groups. One group was asked to use LBS to search surrounding restaurants and the other group was asked to not use LBS to search nearby restaurants. The experimental tasks and measures items were validated in a pilot experiment. The final measurement items are shown in Appendix A. Each subject was asked to read one of the two scenarios - with or without LBS - and use a smartphone application to pick a restaurant. All behaviors on smartphone were recorded using a recording application. Search breadth was measured by the number of restaurants clicked by each subject. Search depths was measured by two metrics - the average number of sub-level pages each subject visited and the average time spent on each restaurant. The hypotheses were tested using SPSS and PLS. The results show that knowledge uncertainty reduces search breadth (H1a). However, there was no significant correlation between knowledge uncertainty and search depth (H1b). Choice uncertainty significantly reduces search depth (H2b), but no significant relationship was found between choice uncertainty and search breadth (H2a). LBS information filtering significantly reduces the buyers' choice uncertainty (H4) and reduces the negative relationship between knowledge uncertainty and search breadth (H3). This research provides some important implications for service providers. Service providers should use different strategies based on their service properties. For those service providers who are not well-known to consumers (high knowledge uncertainty) should encourage their customers to use LBS. This is because LBS would increase buyers' consideration sets when the knowledge uncertainty is high. Therefore, less known services have chances to be included in consumers' consideration sets with LBS. On the other hand, LBS information filtering decrease choice uncertainty and the near service providers are more likely to be selected than without LBS. Hence, service providers should analyze geographically approximate competitors' strength and try to reduce the gap so that they can have chances to be included in the consideration set.

  • 본 연구는 소비자의 구매의도 형성과 관련된 선행요인을 설명하는 주된 이론인 계획적 행동모델을 토대로 식품 관련 및 식품소비관련 소비자의 개성특성, 과거 구매행동 빈도 등의 요인들을 포함하여 유기농식품에 대한 소비자의 구매의도에 미치는 구체적인 영향요인을 제시하고자 이루어졌다. 분석결과를 요약하면 다음과 같다. 첫째, 계획적 행동모델에서 주관적 규범을 제외한 태도, 지각된 행위통제(비용)는 구매의도에 유의하게 영향력이 있는 것으로 나타났으며, 특히 유기농식품에 대해 긍정적인 태도를 가질수록 구매의도가 증가할 확률이 높아진다고 할 수 있다. 둘째, 식품에 대한 관심이 많고 중요하게 생각하는 소비자일수록 유기농식품에 대하여 호의적인 태도를 가지게 될 확률이 증가하며, 과거에 유기농식품을 구매한 빈도가 유기농식품에 대한 구매의도에 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 셋째, 유기농식품을 이용하지 않을 경우 나타날 수 있는 소비자의 부정적 감정이 유기농식품에 대한 구매의도에 부(-)의 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 넷째, 주관적 규범은 구매의도에, 식품 관련 개성특성(저항감)은 태도에 유의한 영향을 미치지 않는 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구에서 밝혀진 연구결과는 점차적으로 계획적 행동모델의 설명력을 높이기 위해 다양한 요인들을 포함하는 모델의 확장에 대한 필요성이 제기되고 있는 가운데, 향후 소비자들의 구매행동에 있어 구매의도에 추가적인 요인들의 영향력을 검증하였다는 점에서 그 의미를 찾을 수 있다. 하지만 본 연구에서는 식품의 종류를 구분하지 않고 조사하였기 때문에 식품의 종류에 따라 소비자의 반응이 다를 수 있기에 향후에는 이점을 보완해 나가야할 것이며, 또한 구매경험여부에 따라 군집을 나누어 연구하지 않았기 때문에 유기농식품의 구매경험여부에 따라 구매자들을 비교, 검토하여 연구해나가야 필요성이 제기된다.

  • 본 연구는 묵의 재료에 국한되어 있는 도토리의 이용을 늘리고 도토리 가공식품을 다양화할 수 있도록 도토리 주정 추출물을 제조하여 제품에 첨가하였으며, 제과 제빵에 사용되는 박력분 대비 칼로리가 낮은 도토리묵가루를 첨가하여 성인병예방 및 항치매 효과가 있는 것으로 알려진 도토리 유래 기능성 건빵을 개발하였다. 도토리묵가루 및 추출물을 첨가한 건빵을 개발하기 위해 선행실험으로 도토리묵가루 0%, 25%, 50%, 75%(w/w)의 비율로 첨가한 건빵을 제조한 후 그 품질특성 및 관능평가를 실시하고 도토리묵가루 첨가 비율을 50%로 결정하였다. 도토리묵가루 50% 첨가 건빵의 제조법을 바탕으로 도토리 주정 추출물을 0%, 0.1%, 0.5%, 1%(w/w) 첨가하여 도토리묵가루 첨가 건빵과 동일한 방법으로 품질특성 및 관능평가를 실시하였다. 도토리묵가루 첨가 건빵의 경도는 조리 전 반죽에서는 도토리묵가루의 함량이 증가함에 따라 반죽의 단단함도 증가하였으나 조리 후에는 유의적인 차이를 나타내지 않았다. 이는 건빵에 사용되는 박력분과 도토리묵가루의 성분과 수분함량의 차이 때문에 반죽상태에서는 경도의 차이가 있으나 조리되는 과정에서 대부분의 수분이 증발하여 조리 후에는 차이를 나타내지 않는 것으로 보인다. 또한 도토리묵가루 첨가 건빵의 색도는 원재료가 가지는 어두운 갈색의 영향 때문에 도토리묵가루의 첨가량이 증가할수록 L값과 b값이 감소하는 경향을 보였고 a값은 차이가 없었다. 관능평가 결과 도토리묵가루 첨가군 간의 비교에서 천제적인 기호도는 50%첨가군이 가장 높았으며 조직감 및 향기에서도 50%첨가군이 높게 측정되어 도토리묵가루를 첨가비율을 50%로 선정하였다. 선행실험을 통해 도토리묵가루의 첨가량 50%를 기준으로 도토리 추출물 0%, 0.1%, 0.5%, 1%(w/w)를 첨가한 건빵을 제조하여 경도 및 색도, 관능평가를 실시한 결과 경도는 추출물의 함량이 증가할수록 높아지는 경향을 보였으며 이는 추출물은 고농도의 도토리 엑기스로 추출물이 갖는 점성에 의한 영향 이라고 생각된다. 색도는 추출물의 함량이 증가할수록 색이 진해져 L값은 감소하고 경향을 보였고 a값과 b값은 큰 차이가 없었다. 이는 첨가구간의 추출물 첨가량의 차이가 크지 않아 영향이 없었던 것으로 보인다. 맛과 조직감은 0.1%에서 가장 높게 측정되었고 0%, 0.5%, 1%(w/w) 순으로 측정되었으며, 도토리 추출물을 첨가할 경우 0.1%가 적절할 것으로 판단된다. 또한 전체적인 기호도는 도토리 추출물의 첨가량이 증가할수록 낮아졌으며, 이는 첨가량이 증가함에 따라 추출물의 특유의 향기와 쓴맛이 함께 증가하여 기호도에 영향을 준 것으로 사료되며 이를 보완할 수 있는 추가적인 실험이 필요할 것으로 보인다.

  • Smartphone and its applications (i.e. apps) are increasingly penetrating consumer markets. According to a recent report from Korea Communications Commission, nearly 50% of mobile subscribers in South Korea are smartphone users that accounts for over 25 million people. In particular, the importance of smartphone has risen as a geospatially-aware device that provides various location-based services (LBS) equipped with GPS capability. The popular LBS include map and navigation, traffic and transportation updates, shopping and coupon services, and location-sensitive social network services. Overall, the emerging location-based smartphone apps (LBA) offer significant value by providing greater connectivity, personalization, and information and entertainment in a location-specific context. Conversely, the rapid growth of LBA and their benefits have been accompanied by concerns over the collection and dissemination of individual users' personal information through ongoing tracking of their location, identity, preferences, and social behaviors. The majority of LBA users tend to agree and consent to the LBA provider's terms and privacy policy on use of location data to get the immediate services. This tendency further increases the potential risks of unprotected exposure of personal information and serious invasion and breaches of individual privacy. To address the complex issues surrounding LBA particularly from the user's behavioral perspective, this study applied the privacy calculus model (PCM) to explore the factors that influence the adoption of LBA. According to PCM, consumers are engaged in a dynamic adjustment process in which privacy risks are weighted against benefits of information disclosure. Consistent with the principal notion of PCM, we investigated how individual users make a risk-benefit assessment under which personalized service and locatability act as benefit-side factors and information privacy risks act as a risk-side factor accompanying LBA adoption. In addition, we consider the moderating role of trust on the service providers in the prohibiting effects of privacy risks on user intention to adopt LBA. Further we include perceived ease of use and usefulness as additional constructs to examine whether the technology acceptance model (TAM) can be applied in the context of LBA adoption. The research model with ten (10) hypotheses was tested using data gathered from 98 respondents through a quasi-experimental survey method. During the survey, each participant was asked to navigate the website where the experimental simulation of a LBA allows the participant to purchase time-and-location sensitive discounted tickets for nearby stores. Structural equations modeling using partial least square validated the instrument and the proposed model. The results showed that six (6) out of ten (10) hypotheses were supported. On the subject of the core PCM, H2 (locatability ${\rightarrow}$ intention to use LBA) and H3 (privacy risks ${\rightarrow}$ intention to use LBA) were supported, while H1 (personalization ${\rightarrow}$ intention to use LBA) was not supported. Further, we could not any interaction effects (personalization X privacy risks, H4 & locatability X privacy risks, H5) on the intention to use LBA. In terms of privacy risks and trust, as mentioned above we found the significant negative influence from privacy risks on intention to use (H3), but positive influence from trust, which supported H6 (trust ${\rightarrow}$ intention to use LBA). The moderating effect of trust on the negative relationship between privacy risks and intention to use LBA was tested and confirmed by supporting H7 (privacy risks X trust ${\rightarrow}$ intention to use LBA). The two hypotheses regarding to the TAM, including H8 (perceived ease of use ${\rightarrow}$ perceived usefulness) and H9 (perceived ease of use ${\rightarrow}$ intention to use LBA) were supported; however, H10 (perceived effectiveness ${\rightarrow}$ intention to use LBA) was not supported. Results of this study offer the following key findings and implications. First the application of PCM was found to be a good analysis framework in the context of LBA adoption. Many of the hypotheses in the model were confirmed and the high value of $R^2$ (i.,e., 51%) indicated a good fit of the model. In particular, locatability and privacy risks are found to be the appropriate PCM-based antecedent variables. Second, the existence of moderating effect of trust on service provider suggests that the same marginal change in the level of privacy risks may differentially influence the intention to use LBA. That is, while the privacy risks increasingly become important social issues and will negatively influence the intention to use LBA, it is critical for LBA providers to build consumer trust and confidence to successfully mitigate this negative impact. Lastly, we could not find sufficient evidence that the intention to use LBA is influenced by perceived usefulness, which has been very well supported in most previous TAM research. This may suggest that more future research should examine the validity of applying TAM and further extend or modify it in the context of LBA or other similar smartphone apps.

  • This study was carried out to obtain information regarding eating habits, including health related behavior and health food consumption patterns. The subjects of this study were 149 men and 152 women residing in the Ulsan area. We obtained results by means of a questionnaire and an interview, and these were analyzed using the SPSS package program. The results of this study are summarized as follows The average age of the men was 47.6 $\pm$ 7.3 years and of the women was 47.3 $\pm$ 7.6 years old. The average height and weight of the men were 169.4 $\pm$ 5.5 cm and 67.7 $\pm$ 8.2 kg, respectively. Those of the women were 157.6 $\pm$ 5.0 cm and 58.2 $\pm$ 7.5 kg, respectively. The BMI values of all the subjects ranged from 20.0 to 25.0, all within the normal levels. In the case of dietary patterns, 24.3% of the total population always skipped a meal. In particular, 15.9% of the total population skipped breakfast. No time to eat, no appetite, having no taste, and having poor health were themain reasons for skipping meals. With regard to health care, there was a significant difference between the men and the women with respect to smoking and drinking (p<0.001). Of the total population, 40.5% hardly exercised (less than once a week), 26.2% exercised occasionally, 13.6% frequently exercised, and 19.6% exercised almost every day. A total of 60.7% responded that they were not interested in their health. The mean eating habit score of the subjects was 65.6 $\pm$ 9.9. The women had a higher eating habit score than the men (64.0 $\pm$ 9.6 for the men and 67.2 $\pm$ 9.9 for the women). Except for one group above 60 years, the older group had a higher eating habit score than the younger one. The group having a higher income and a more specialized career had a higher eating habit score than the one having a lower income and a less specialized career. There was also a marital difference. The group of single subjects showed a lower eating habit score than the married group. The group having a higher eating habit score drank, smoked and went out for meals less, and exercised more than the group having lower scores. They also were more concerned about their health. In the older group, there were more diabetic and hypertensive individuals. The subjects who had a higher BMI index were more likely to be patients with hypertension, especially in the men's group. Those who had a higher BMI index and hypertension simultaneously took a variety of medicines and foods for promoting health. Those who worried a lot about their health and had health problems tended to take special foods for their health. Patients usually took tonics. Special foods for health included Chinese medicines, tonic foods, vitamin or mineral supplements and manufactured health food supplements. Preferences for them depended on the sex and age of the subject. In the case of tonic foods, the men liked them more than the women. Foods other than tonic foods were favorites with the women. This study may provide basic information on the eating habits and health related behaviors of middle-aged people. However, further studies are needed to improve the eating habits and to change the nutritional attitudes, so that people can make better choices of health foods.

  • 이 논문의 목적은 한국정당학회와 한겨레신문사가 제21대 국회의원 선거 직후 실시한 '제21대 국회의원 정치이념 및 정책 현안 인식 조사'의 결과를 보고하는 것이다. 한국정당학회는 2002년 제16대 국회의원 선거 이후, 후보자 또는 당선자들의 이념성향과 정책 태도에 관한 조사를 지속해왔다. 이러한 시계열 자료의 축적은 정당별 이념 분화와 응집성, 정당 간 이념 양극화 추세를 통시적으로 파악할 수 있게 한다. 이번 조사는 대북·외교, 경제, 사회·현안, 물질·탈물질주의 등 4가지 영역 21개 정책 쟁점 문항과 이념에 대한 자가평가 문항을 포함하고 있으며, 조사 대상인 국회의원 300명 중에서 총 197명이 참여하여 65.7%의 응답률을 기록하였다. 분석 결과, 모든 정책 영역과 이를 종합한 정책이념지수에서 정의당 소속 의원들이 평균적으로 가장 진보적이고, 더불어민주당이 중간, 미래통합당 소속 의원들이 가장 보수적으로 나타났다. 정책 영역별로는 그동안 정당 간의 차이가 뚜렷했던 대북·외교, 경제, 물질·탈물질주의 영역에서는 정당 간의 차이가 지속되는 반면, 사회영역에서는 더불어민주당의 보수화로 인해 정당 간의 차이가 좁혀진 것으로 나타났다. 이러한 변화가 제21대 국회의 운영과정에서 사회정책을 둘러싼 두 정당의 협력으로 이어질 수 있을지 주목할 만하다. 한편, 의원 개개인의 정책이념지수에 대한 분석에서는 의원의 소속 정당과 연령에 따라 유의미한 차이가 있는 것으로 나타났다. 한국의 정당이 단순히 서로 다른 지역 지역에 기반을 두고 있는 의원들의 집단이 아니라, '비슷한 주의·주장을 가진 사람의 집단'으로 자리 잡았음을 확인시켜주는 대목이다.
