In order to improve the security policy compliance performance of an organization, it is crucial for organizational members to have a strong intention to actively accept these policies. Accordingly, this study proposes a research model based on the Health Belief Model, a key theory in the field of health psychology, with the aim of seeking ways to enhance the acceptability of security policies among organizational members. Data were collected through surveys and analyzed using statistical methods. The results of the study revealed that the perceived security threats and the perception of support for security policy compliance at the organizational level significantly influence the acceptance of security policies through the mediating role of perceived benefits from security policy compliance. Additionally, the study demonstrated that the perceived burden of effort and work disruption associated with complying with security policies, i.e., perceived barriers, has a significant negative impact on the acceptance of security policies. This study holds academic significance as it presents a model that effectively analyzes the cognitive mechanisms influencing the acceptance of security policies by applying the Health Belief Model, originally rooted in healthcare. The analysis results and various implications discussed in this study are expected to provide useful information and insights for developing strategies to enhance the acceptance of security policies among organizational members in the future.

In a disaster situation such as COVID-19, our society has experienced the spread of the damage due to confirmed patients who have a negative or uncooperative attitude toward the disclosure of personal information. Accordingly, this study aims to find a policy direction that can improve the awareness of the disclosure of personal information about confirmed COVID-19 patients. This study classified the concept of acceptability into personal and social acceptability, and statistically verified their relationship with influential factors. In this study, 594 cases of data collected through an online survey were used. The analysis results show that the greater the trust in the government's personal information management capability, the lower the perception of the risks associated with the disclosure of personal information, and the lower the awareness of the risk, the higher the personal and social acceptability of the personal information disclosure of COVID-19 confirmed patients. In addition, the greater the recognition of the utility of personal information disclosure, the higher the perception of personal and social acceptability of the personal information disclosure. It is expected that the analysis results and discussions of this study will be useful information for policy development to create a more mature social atmosphere to reduce the public's reluctance to disclose information not only in COVID-19 but also in new disaster situations in the future.

Nuclear fuel cycle choices and costs are important in considering energy policies, fuel diversity, security of supply and associated social and environmental impacts. Particularly, the nuclear spent fuel is very important in view of high activity and the need of long term management. This study focuses on the comparison of reprocessing and direct disposal of nuclear spent fuel in terms of cost, safety and public acceptability. The results of the study show that the direct disposal is about 7% more economical than the reprocessing. In terms of safety, the results show that the risk of vitrified HLW (high-level radioactive waste) is less than directly disposed spent fuel. For the public acceptability, both of the methods are not well understood and therefore they are not accepted. In conclusion, it is necessary to guarantee the safety of the both spent fuel processing methods through continuous development of associated technology and to have a fuel cycle policy which should consider not only the economics but also social and environmental impacts.
