Objective: The purpose of this study was to examine whether motivation for choosing a teaching profession and the perception of social support of newly-appointed childcare teachers would predict work adjustment, and to understand the mediating role of the perception of social support. Methods: The data was analyzed by using correlation, regression, and the verification of mediating effects. Results: First, there were significant correlations of active motivation and material motivation when choosing a teaching profession, perception of social support, and work adjustment. Second, active motivation and material motivation in relation to choosing a teaching profession, and the perception of social support, were the variables that could predict the work adjustment of newly-appointed teachers. Third, the social support perceived by newly-appointed teachers had partial-mediating effects on the relationship between active motivation in relation to choosing a teaching profession and work adjustment, as well as on the complete-mediating effects on the relationship between material motivation and work adjustment. Implications: The training institute should strengthen education that could foster active motivation of pre-service teachers, and daycare centers should establish a cooperative workplace culture for the psychological adjustment of newly-appointed teachers.

이 연구는 사회서비스 전달에서 바우처의 도입이 사회복지전문직의 정체성에 어떤 변화를 가져오는지에 대한 궁금증에서 출발하였다. 연구방법은 바우처 실천을 수행하는 20명의 사회복지사들을 대상으로 심층 인터뷰를 실시하였다. 연구결과 사회복지실천에서 바우처 도입은 사회복지전문직 정체성에 혼란을 가져다주었는데, 사회복지사들의 역할을 중개적 관리자로, 클라이언트와의 관계를 시장적 관계로 변화시켰으며, 이는 관료적 통제의 증가와 영리화 기제를 통해 자율권을 축소시킴으로써 이루어졌다. 사회복지전문직에서의 이러한 변화는 단순한 변화가 아닌 '재구조화'로 볼 수 있고, 사회복지실천에서 관리주의의 압력이 가시화되고, 유사 사적실천을 형성하는 의미를 갖고 있는 것으로 드러났다.

본 연구는 사회복지실천의 학문적 특성을 분석하고 이를 고려한 인식의 틀 속에서 이론적 정체성과 학문의 발전방향을 모색하고자 한다. 이를 위해 첫째, 사회복지실천이론의 분석을 위한 구성적 특성과 이론적 속성을 살펴본다. 실천에 영향을 주는 구체성의 정도에 따라 패러다임, 시각, 이론, 모델, 실천 지혜 등을 기능적으로 분류하여 사회복지실천지식의 유형을 살펴봄으로써, 각기 다른 수준에서 실천에 영향을 미치는 지식의 역할을 검토하고자 한다. 또한, 지식의 객관성과 주관성, 사회적 변화와 기능적 적응을 중심으로 논의되고 있는 인식론적 입장과 학문적 시각을 폭넓은 사회복지실천의 이론적 스펙트럼 내에서 분석한다. 실천지식에 관한 이론적 분석은 사회복지실천의 존재론적 가치와 과학적 이론화 논쟁 속에서 각각의 유용성과 한계를 비교하며 사회복지실천에 적합한 공통적 지식기반을 마련하기 위한 것이다. 둘째, 사회복지실천학문의 정체성과 전문화, 학문적 맥락과 실천현장의 적용성과 관련된 논의를 통해 사회복지실천의 중심가치와 통합된 이론체계의 구성 가능성을 탐색하고자 한다. 사회복지 실천학문의 특성을 반영하는 지식기반의 구성을 위한 탐색과정은 학문의 내적 일관성을 높일 뿐 아니라 외적으로 전문직의 역할과 전문화 방향을 설정하는 기초로서 사회복지직의 발전에 기여할 수 있다는 함의를 갖는다.

Teaching has become a feminized profession, especially in elementary teaching, in which it is regarded as "women's work." Concerns about the "extinction" of men in the field resulted in calls for male teachers. While studies indicate that there is positive discrimination in favor of men (despite the feminization of teaching), it appears that there are also forms of discrimination that work against them. As such this study explored the challenges of being a male in the feminized profession from the perspective of male teacher candidates. Studies in the field of teacher education in the Philippines mainly focus on curriculum and students' academic achievement, hence an inquiry must be done on the plight of male teachers in a gendered profession. A phenomenological study was employed to look into the realities of six male teacher candidates. Findings show that male teachers are: (1) leadership-destined; (2) conflicted; (3) limited; and (4) devalued. The narrative of male teachers in the Philippine education sector reveals the need to revisit programs and policies in professional development and support. Finally, recommendations are made for teacher education programs to guide teacher candidates' experiences towards a more inclusive profession.

Objectives: As quality of work-life (QWL) among nurses affects both patient care and institutional standards, assessment regarding QWL for the profession is important. Work-related Quality of Life Scale (WRQOLS) is a reliable QWL assessment tool for the nursing profession. To develop a Chinese version of the WRQOLS-2 and to examine its psychometric properties as an instrument to assess QWL for the nursing profession in China. Methods: Forward and back translating procedures were used to develop the Chinese version of WRQOLS-2. Six nursing experts participated in content validity evaluation and 352 registered nurses (RNs) participated in the tests. After a two-week interval, 70 of the RNs were retested. Structural validity was examined by principal components analysis and the Cronbach's alphas calculated. The respective independent sample t-test and intra-class correlation coefficient were used to analyze known-group validity and test-retest reliability. Results: One item was rephrased for adaptation to Chinese organizational cultures. The content validity index of the scale was 0.98. Principal components analysis resulted in a seven-factor model, accounting for 62% of total variance, with Cronbach's alphas for subscales ranging from 0.71 to 0.88. Known-group validity was established in the assessment results of the participants in permanent employment vs. contract employment (t = 2.895, p < 0.01). Good test-retest reliability was observed (r = 0.88, p < 0.01). Conclusion: The translated Chinese version of the WRQOLS-2 has sufficient validity and reliability so that it can be used to evaluate the QWL among nurses in mainland China.

Despite improved working environment with increased automation in industry, the nursing professions are subject to great deal of potential occupational risks, including chemical exposure, occupational stress, and musculoskeletal stress. In this study, we investigated the work-related Low Back Pains(LBPs) among hospital nursing profession by questionnaire survey. The results showed that over 89% of nursing personnel answered had experienced work-related LBPs. Among these personnel, patient handling caused more than 78% of the incidents occurring at work. This study will thus contribute as a basic reference to the hospitals and ergonomic practitioners for nursing profession training program development, facility and equipment redesign, and for guiding future research concerning prevention of this very important occupational health problem.

Public accountant profile dominated by over-50-year-old people appears to be alarming. The intention towards this profession had better be fostered immediately; therefore, the predictors to boost the intention need to be known. The study examines the influence of accounting knowledge toward the intention to work as public accountant using the Theory of Planned Behavior approach. A survey of 146 students revealed that there was a significantly positive influence of accounting knowledge toward the intention of becoming public accountant, both directly and indirectly, through the mediation of attitudes and perceived behavioral control. Subjective norms did not function as an appropriate mediation. The findings are expected to contribute to universities and professional accounting bodies. The study urges the accounting educators to redesign and reorganize the curriculum, including a more interesting teaching and learning methods. The professional accounting bodies are expected to cooperate with accounting educators in enhancing the internship program and providing real-case study to instill a positive attitude and assurance toward the students' competence, which, in the end, might spark the intention to work as public accountant. That accounting knowledge positively influences the intention toward public accounting profession through the mediation of perceived behavioral control was statistically supported.
