Job satisfaction is an important part of social workers who strive to improve the quality of life and independence of their clients. The goal of this study was to reveal the correlation between social workers' self-efficacy, job satisfaction, and supervision to determine whether supervision regulated the effect of social worker's self-efficacy on job satisfaction. In addition, the effect of social worker's self-efficacy on job satisfaction was grasped, and the control effect of supervision regarding the process of social worker's self-efficacy on job satisfaction was identified. For the study, 150 social workers at 10 community welfare centers in Gyeonggi-do and North Seoul area were surveyed, and the statistical program PASW (SPSS) 25.0 was used for data analysis. As a result of the study, it was confirmed that the social worker's self-efficacy had a significant effect on job satisfaction, and that the social worker's self-efficacy had a significant static effect on job satisfaction. In addition, in the process of social worker's self-efficacy affecting job satisfaction, the mediating effect of the supervision function (administrative, educational, and supportive) was found to be significant, so it turned out that the supervision function for social workers was crucial to enhance self-efficacy.

The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between academic stress, drinking related knowledge, and drinking refusal self-efficacy among nursing students, and to identify the influencing factors nursing students' drinking refusal self-efficacy. Data were collected from September 10, 2023 to October 10, 2023 after receiving informed consent from 187 nursing students enrolled in J University in C Province. The collected data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, ANOVA, t-test, Pearson's correlation analysis, and multiple regression analysis according to the characteristics of variables using the SPSS/WIN 28.0 program. The results of the study showed that nursing students' drinking refusal self-efficacy was positively correlated with drinking-related knowledge (r=.21, p=.004) and negatively correlated with academic stress (r=-.21, p=.005). The factors affecting the drinking refusal self-efficacy of nursing students were identified as academic stress (𝛽=-.17, p=.016), drinking related knowledge (𝛽=.21, p=.003), and smoking status (𝛽=.19, p=.008), and the regression model was statistically significant (F=8.30, p<.001), with an explanatory power of 11.0%. Based on the above results, it is necessary to prepare a program to reduce academic stress and increase drinking-related knowledge in order to improve the drinking refusal self-efficacy of nursing students. In addition, including smoking cessation strategies for college students in the program can help increase their drinking refusal self-efficacy.

In this paper, we investigated the factors affecting the intention to use smartphone banking with a research model based on the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) extended to include security risk, trust, and self-efficacy. With analysis after controlling factors such as age, gender, and previous experience of smartphone banking that may have effects, we conclude that perceived usefulness, perceived ease of use, security risk, and trust have direct effect on the intention to use smartphone banking, and self-efficacy has indirect effect on the intention to use through mediation of perceived ease of use. We performed a study to check the validity of TAM in the context of smartphone banking, and confirmed that perceived ease of use has both direct and indirect effect on the intention to use.

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.

Today, companies are making efforts to improve the performance of workers by utilizing various IT-based mobile and internet devices. In pharmaceutical companies, salespeople are using the e-brochure to search for diverse expertise in real time. Through the e-brochure, pharmacists and doctors can be provided with the information they need, thereby increasing confidence in pharmaceuticals and salespeople. Salespeople can also use e-brochures to improve their work performance and to be more satisfied with their jobs. This study examines which functions of e-brochures satisfy salespeople and what attitudes to the e-brochures they need to have. This paper explains the effect of satisfaction and attitude to the e-brochures on job satisfaction through self-efficacy with statistical analysis. As a statistical result, the functions of e-brochures (professional knowledge, massive amount of data, easy searching, information updates, and the reflection of feedback) and attitudes to the e-brochures (importance, intention to use, belief in improvement, efficacy to use, and negative cognition) influence on self-efficacy of salespeople. Further, self-efficacy has mediating effects on the relationship between the functions of e-brochures / attitudes to e-brochures and job satisfaction. Exceptionally, the mediating effect of self-efficacy was not significant in relation to information updates / reflection of feedback and job satisfaction. These results will explain what functions should be focused for the future development of e-brochures. It will also suggest what attitudes the salespeople should have about e-brochures. Through these efforts, salespeople will be able to utilize new technology of e-brochures to satisfy their jobs and improve their performance.

It will provide useful information for developing nursing interventions in health promotion programs. Method: The subjects of this study were 271 taxi drivers in Seoul and its metropolitan area. Data were collected using a self-reported questionnaire asking smoking history, smoking behaviors, health problem, stages of change for smoking cessation, self-efficacy and the expectation level of success in smoking cessation. Data were analyzed through descriptive statistics. Pearson's correlation, Mann-Whitney U test, Kruskal-Wallis test and Cronbach's a. Results: Of the taxi drivers, 83.8% were current smokers. Stages of change were as follows: 45.8% were in the precontemplation stage, 26.2% in the contemplation stage, 13.7% in the maintenance stage, 12.2% in the preparation stage and 1.5% in the action stage. In addition. 20.3% of the subjects reported health problems such as hypertension, heart disease, diabetes mellitus and respiratory disease. The expectation level of success in smoking cessation was positively related with self-efficacy. There were statistically significant differences in the expectation level of success in smoking cessation according to the number of cigarettes per day and nicotine dependency. In addition. there were statistically significant differences in self-efficacy according to the number of cigarettes per day, duration of smoking (years) and nicotine dependency. Conclusion: The results of this study suggest that taxi drivers' health problems and smoking rate were serious. Therefore more systematic health promotion programs for smoking cessation should be developed and executed by health care specialists at individual taxi companies.
