Purpose: The purpose of this study was to examine the problems and relevant variables for effective Organizational Socialization of new nurses, to produce a causal map, to build up a simulation model and to test its validity. Method: The basic data was collected from Sep. 2002 to July 2003. The Organizational Socialization process of new nurses was analyzed through a model simulation. The VENSIM 5.0b DSS program was used to develop the study model. Result: This Model shows interrelation of these result variables: organizational commitment, job satisfaction, job performance, intention of leaving the work setting, decision making ability, and general results of Organizational Socialization. The model's factors are characteristic of organization and individual values, task-related knowledge and skills, and emotion and communication that affects new nurses' socialization process. These elements go through processes of anticipatory socialization, encounter, change and acquisition. The Model was devised to induce effective Organizational Socialization results within 24 months of its implementation. The basic model is the most efficient and will also contribute to the development of knowledge in the body of nursing. Conclusion: This study will provide proper direction for new Nurse's Organizational Socialization. Therefore, developing an Organizational Socialization Process Model is meaningful in a sense that it could provide a framework that could create effective Organizational Socialization for new nurses.

Purpose: The Purpose of this study was to identify the relationship between managerial characteristics of the nursing organization and organizational effectiveness. Method : The data were gathered from the self-reported questionnaires of 717 nurses who work for eight different general hospitals located around Seoul and Kyounggi province. The period of data collection was from December 12 to December 7, 2002. For data analysis, descriptive statistics, Pearson correlation coefficient, t-test, and ANOVA with SAS & SPSS Program were used. Result : 1) Managerial Characteristics of the Nursing Organization were positively related to all of the organizational effectiveness. Transactional leadership were negatively related to all of the organizational effectiveness. 2) 'Shared Value' and 'Communication' showed a significant difference except religion. 'Autonomy' showed a significant difference except religion, major field of practice. 'Job Motivation' showed a significant difference except marital status, religion. 'Transformational leadership' showed a significant difference except marital status, religion, major field of practice. 3) 'Job satisfaction' showed a significant difference except religion, major field of practice. 'Organizational commitment' and 'Organizational citizenship behavior' showed a significant difference except religion. Conclusion : From the above results, the highly perceived with managerial characteristics of the nursing organization is very implicative to enhance the organizational effectiveness.

The study investigates the relationship and influence between religiosity, reward, and engagement in the public administration sector, both directly and causally via moderation. This study involved one hundred and twenty-three respondents in three local government organizations in Malang City, East Java Province, Indonesia, namely, the Malang City General Hospital, the Population and Civil Registry Office, and the Investment Office. The sampling method uses stratified random sampling from the total population of civil servants in Malang in the three institutions. The data analysis model of this study uses a quantitative approach with a unit of data analysis using the path analysis method. The analytical tools used are smart-PLS and SPSS. The results reveal that the direct combined effect of reward and religiosity has a positive and significant influence on the engagement. However, moderation between reward and commitment, which is bridged by religiosity, does not show positive and significant results. The non-positive relationship shown by testing moderation concludes that there is a separation of purpose between the portion of religiosity in the world of work, where religiosity in this study is only described as part of the concept of worship, and the relationship between the person and his God.

Purpose: This review aimed to integrate the results of studies related to job embeddedness of clinical nurses and suggest directions for future research. Methods: A search for relevant studies was conducted using six databases according to the predetermined index terms "nurse" and "job embeddedness." A total of 28 studies that met the inclusion criteria were selected and analyzed. Results: The definition of job embeddedness was consistent in the articles, but the terms, scope, and use of tools to determine job embeddedness were not. In addition, no article suggested a theoretical framework. In all the studies except one, the tool used to measure job embeddedness was one revised from Mitchell et al. (2001). In 15 articles, a negative correlation was found between job turnover and turnover intention. Job embeddedness was also found to be associated with nurses' work environment, organizational citizenship behavior, and organizational commitment, and it had a positive impact on these variables. Conclusion: Job embeddedness can be used as a major variable to explain nurses's turnover intention. Job embeddedness is multidimensional, and a theoretical framework is needed to explain the job embeddedness of clinical nurses. Tools specific to Korea should be developed to measure the job embeddedness of Korean clinical nurses.

Although job insecurity has attracted many scholars for long time, the research of job insecurity has not been accumulated because of nonexistence of and comprehensive and systematic model on job insecurity. This study, therefore, has provided integrated model of job insecurity and has also generated important propositions of job insecurity. This study aims to design the antecedents and consequences(outcomes) of job insecurity of employees. First, we have postulated important hypothesis based on the existing literatures. Second, we have tested hypothesis by the comprehensive review of existing local empirical studies. Third we have provided underlying logics of designing integrated model of job insecurity. And we have also generated Important propositions underlying the model focusing on job insecurity. We propose that employees' job insecurity increase with their expectation about further organizational change, role ambiguity. We also propose that employees' job insecurity raise their psychological strain while reducing their organizational commitment, job satisfaction and work effort. Theoretical implications are discussed, as are the implications of study and suggestions for future research.

Purpose: The Purpose of this study was to identify the relationship between 7S factors of the nursing organizational culture and organizational effectiveness. Method: The data were gathered from the self-reported questionnaires of 717 nurses who work for eight different general hospitals located around Seoul and Kyounggi province. The period of data collection was from November 12 to December 7, 2002. For data analysis, descriptive statistics, clustering analysis, and t-test with SPSS Program were used. Result: The nurses who highly perceived 7S factors of nursing organizational culture showed higher job satisfaction and organizational commitment in comparison with the nurses who lowly perceived 7S factors of nursing organizational culture. And the nurses who highly perceived 7S factors of nursing organizational culture showed higher organizational citizenship behavior in comparison with the nurses who lowly perceived 7S factors of nursing organizational culture. Among subdimension of organizational citizenship behavior, altruism and civic virtue were significant. Conclusion: From the above results, the high group with 7S factors of nursing organizational culture has strong culture, therefore nursing organization with strong culture is very implicative to enhance the organizational effectiveness.

This qualitative case study focused on two types of livable, family-friendly communities and their activities. The landscaping, the community library, and the Dongbu Apartment Residents' Committee were examined in relationship to the everyday lives of the community's residents through observation and an in-depth interview. The experiences and thoughts of two representatives and four volunteers were described in detail. This study implies the importance of activity as well as a visible effort to improve quality of life. Further, it implies the necessity of a long-tenn perspective and commitment to developing a livable community base with strategies consistent with integrity and the values of everyday life. Above all, we researchers emphasize the most important factor of the livable community is the third sector; a public space based on everyday life located between a structurally separate work space and family space.

Purpose: This study was performed to explore research trends in the intention to stay of hospital nurses and provide basic data to establish nursing management strategies to increase the intention to stay. Methods: Articles published between 2009 and 2018 were searched. The search terminologies were "intention to stay," "nurse", and "hospital". In the first search, 381 articles were extracted from academic databases. Thirty articles were used in the systematic review, and 29 articles were used in the correlation meta-analysis. Results: Thirty-two variables were explored in relation to the intention to stay. In the correlation analysis, job satisfaction and work environment showed statistically significant positive correlations in many studies. In the correlation meta-analysis, 7 variables including organizational commitment showed statistically significant effect sizes. Conclusion: We suggest that structural equation model analysis to identify causal relations among influencing variables of the intention to stay of hospital nurses may be conducted. This study can be used as a guideline to develop intention-to-stay enhancement programs for hospital nurses.

The study specifically aimed to identify factors affecting business longevity. It focused on knowing how embroidery enterprises managed to persist in the industry for many years despite the competitive business environment. After discovering the significant relationships of such factors to longevity, problems experienced by the enterprise cluster were ascertained in order to come up with recommendations that can be proposed to the enterprise owners. Embroidery entrepreneurs have been experiencing a continuous decline in sales due to lack of innovation and intense competition. In the evaluation of their personal entrepreneurial competencies, they scored low on risk-taking, persuasion and networking, and opportunity seeking; thus, implying that these are their weaknesses. On the other hand, the statistical results of this study say that longevity is a function of the entrepreneur's competencies (i.e., persistence, commitment to work contract, demand for quality and efficiency, information seeking, and systematic planning or monitoring), the generation currently managing the business, competition, and the customer's preferences. These results suggest that these independent variables are significant and are deemed critical to business longevity. Thus, entrepreneurs have to find ways on how to use these competencies as an advantage in reinventing their businesses and in reviving their industry.

Objectives : The aim of this meta-analysis was to draw overall conclusions on the correlation between the organizational effectiveness (OE) of healthcare employees and related factors by summarizing recent studies and to provide a baseline for future research. Methods : A literature search for original articles published from 2005 to 2014 including doctoral theses and KCI journal articles was done in KERIS' RISS, etc. in a systematic manner. From 77 studies which met the inclusion criteria 190 effect sizes (ESs) were calculated for the analysis. A meta-analysis was done with CMA 3 (Biostat company, USA). Results : The overall ES was moderate for all, positively and negatively related factors. For all related factors, job characteristics, group-leader relations, personal and organizational characteristics had a moderate ES. The ES for work experiences was small. Conclusions : Although the results of this study were meaningful it is necessary to perform follow-up analyses (1) based on a longer data period and more articles, (2) including moderating variables with higher explanatory power and (3) adopting a study model with more specific and simplified variables.
