Purpose: This study was done to explore adaptation experience of living kidney donors after donation. Specific aims were to identify challenges donors face in the process of adaptation following surgery and how they interact with recipients and other people. Methods: Grounded theory methodology was utilized. Participants were 13 living kidney donors at six months or more after donation. Data were collected by in-depth interviews with individual participants. Data were analyzed using constants comparative method with theoretical saturation. Results: A core category emerged as 'keeping the fences of my family in spite of vulnerability'. The adaptation process after donation was manifested in four phases: exploration, balance, maintenance, and acclimatization. Phenomenon was perception of vulnerability. Strategies to manage the vulnerability were assessing changes of body awareness, tailoring regimen to one's own body condition, coping with health problems, keeping restoration of health, and ruminating on the meaning of one's kidney donation. Consequences were reestablishing family well-being, realizing the values of one's kidney donation, and living with uncertainty. Conclusion: Findings of the study indicate that there is a need for health professionals to understand the vulnerability of living kidney donors and help their family system maintain a healthy and productive life. The results of this study can be used to develop phase-specific, patient-centered, and tailored interventions for living kidney donors.

The food bank program is one of the social welfare programs that collects surplus food and grocery products from food service and manufacturing industries, and then distributes them to those in need. The objective of this study was to investigate the food donors' perception of the program and the current status of food donation, and make a few suggestions to improve the program. A total of 200 respondents from 84 restaurants, 40 buffet restaurants, 40 bakeries, and 36 contract food service management companies participated in this study. The average amount of surplus food was 5.39 kg/day, and its 51.4% was being done away with. One of the donation benefits that most respondents expected was public relations for themselves as a program participant. The respondents' main information sources about the program were newspapers, magazines, and TV. Needs assessments regarding the program information showed that the respondents needed information about formalities, process, and donation benefits. One of the major setbacks in improving the program was insufficient information on it.

The purpose of this study is to examine the perception of donors on the necessity of making improvements in accounting information system. Along with the increasing size and number of activities of nonprofit organizations, many people are more and more interested in their organizational efficiency and transparency. Accordingly, researchers and policy makers have focused on how to improve accounting information system and how to monitor nonprofits to efficiently obtain and use resources. We thus aim to provide some useful insights by analyzing the opinions of donors regarding the display of nonprofit statements, accounting system, and the intention of donation. Using survey data obtained from 263 respondents, we find that displaying functional expenses is considered to enhance the usefulness of financial reports. We also find that the filing and disclosure of financial reports is considered to be necessary. Respondents also require external audits, but not to the same extent as disclosure. Finally, respondents have a positive attitude toward making future donations.

본 연구는 굿 거버넌스 논의에 기반한 원조의 영향에 대한 경험적 분석을 통해 전통공여국 OECD DAC 원조와 수원국 부패 간 관계를 분석한다. 이를 위하여 본 연구는 2000년부터 2014년까지 OECD DAC 원조 데이터, 부패인식 지수, 세계은행 데이터, 민주주의 지수를 중심으로 고정효과모형과 PCSE 모형을 사용하였다. 통계 분석을 시행한 결과 OECD DAC의 원조가 아프리카 수원국의 부패에 부정적 영향을 주고 있음을 확인하였다. DAC의 원조는 아프리카 국가들의 부패 정도를 심화시키는 영향을 주며, 특히 민주주의가 발전한 국가에서 그 영향의 정도가 커짐을 확인할 수 있다. 이는 OECD DAC의 굿 거버넌스 중심의 원조와 수원국 부패 간 관계에 대해 보다 종합적인 후속 연구가 필요하다는 점과 함께, 지역적 특수성을 고려하였을 때에는 일반적으로 인식하고 있는 민주주의 제도 발전의 긍정적 효과가 오히려 역전되어 나타날 수 있다는 점을 제기한다.

본 연구는 비영리단체의 마케팅 활동에서 지속적인 기부를 위해 기부금 사용내역의 효과와 기부금 사용내역의 공개에 따른 인식 전환의 두 가지 목적을 가지고 연구를 진행하였다. 첫 번째 실험은 2(기부금 사용 내역 피드백: 유vs무) ${\times}$ 2(기부인식: 지출vs교환)를 $2{\times}2$ 집단 간 요인 설계에 따라 구성하였고, 다변량분산분석(MANOVA)을 실시하였다. 그 결과 기부금 사용내역을 공개한 상황(M=5.125, SD=0.437)에서 더욱 높은 기부만족을 보였고, 기부금 사용내역을 공개한 상황(M=5.328, SD=0.459)에서 보다 높은(p<0.01) 관계지속 의도를 나타냈다. 추가적으로 부트스트래핑 방법을 사용하여 주 효과를 검증하였으며, 전체모형 검증 결과 만족과 신뢰(${\gamma}=0.843$, p<0.01), 만족(${\gamma}=0.267$, p<0.01)과 신뢰(${\gamma}=0.691$, p<0.01)가 유의한 정(+)의 관계에 있는 것으로 나타났다. 이를 바탕으로 비영리 단체들이 기부자들의 기부금 사용 내역을 투명하고 자세하게 공개하는 노력을 기울인다면 기부자들로 하여금 신뢰를 쌓을 수 있을 것으로 예상된다. 향후 연구에서는 피드백의 방법 유형 등에 따라 어떠한 효과가 있는지를 연구할 필요가 있다.

A survey was implemented to suggest basic data for assuring the safety of cooked foods in foodbank operations. A questionnaire consisted of total 48 items including general characteristics, basic inputs and perceived importance/performance of sanitary management. One hundred twenty-eight responses among the 267 nationwide foodbanks were used for the statistical analysis. About forty-one percent of foodbanks was operated a period of 1-3 years and 43.0% of them were managed by social welfare organizations. The number of staff was only 0.5 person per operation with the whole responsibility and 1.0 with additional work, and thus most of the work was managed by volunteers. Job satisfaction was shown to be moderate and was affected by specialty and salary mostly. The facilities and equipment in foodbanks were not enough to operate and freezers/refrigerators were the top priority to supplement. Most of the respondents attended a nationwide level sanitary education program (79.7%); but complained not enough frequency of education (90%). The sanitary status of the donated foods was considered as satisfactory but some safety practices had to be improved, including personnel expenses and operating costs in the district level, a sanitary awareness of the donors and a general management of the facilities arid equipment. An assessment on sanitary management resulted in an overall average of 4.45 out of 5 points in importance and 3.85 in performance showing the high level of sanitation perception in foodbank managers. From the IPA analysis, the fields found to be improved were sanitation management during cooking and temperature control as well as cleanliness and sanitation of both transport vehicle and refrigerator/freezer. To secure the food safety in foodbanks, consequently, personnel support, supplement of facilities and equipment, intense sanitation education and development of sanitation management program is needed.

Purpose - This research aims to understand the different behaviors of consumers according to cognitive age. Specifically, this research is focused on pro-social behavior. Pro-social behavior is defined as behavior benefiting others, rather than behavior benefiting one's self. It often entails individual risk or cost, such as when giving resources to others, waiting in line, asking for or paying a fair price, or risking one's life in battle. Therefore, we sought to understand consumer psychology and cognitive age as a reflection of inner psychology. People frequently perceive themselves as younger or older than their chronological ages. This self-perceived or cognitive age is a subjective age perception independent of actual chronological age. The discrepancy degree between chronological and cognitive age represents how much individuals perceive themselves as younger than they are. This study examines the gap in donation intention based on cognitive age. In order to investigate cognitive age, composed of four sub-categories (feel-age, look-age, do-age, and interest-age), this study explores the differential donation intention based on cognitive age, which determines the relationship between the young age and old age. Research design, data, and methodology - Data research was conducted by gathering 216 survey samples, excluding those with unreliable answers. Data coding and cleaning were used and SPSS 19.0 software for the data analysis. The respondents were categorized into two types, younger cognitive ages and older cognitive ages. Additionally, we analyzed the moderating variables. In particular, we used cognitive age degree and congruency level (cognitive age low vs. cognitive age high) × (congruency close vs. congruency distant) between - subjects design. First, regression was done to verify the difference between chronological age and cognitive age. Second, a t-test was done to verify the difference of cognitive age level in donations. Third, ANOVA (analysis of variance) was done to verify the difference between cognitive age and congruency in donations. Last, ANOVA was done to verify the difference between cognitive age and moral judgments in donations. Result - The results show most respondents perceive themselves as younger than their chronological ages. In particular, older respondents feel they are younger than their actual age. Moreover, the result of the comparison between low degree and high degree groups of cognitive age, show high donations at the higher degree of cognitive age groups. In addition, the closer the distance to the beneficiaries, the higher the donation in high degree cognitive age groups. The higher moral judgment groups also show relatively high contributions in lower degree cognitive age groups. Conclusions - Donations belong to the category of pro-social behavior reflecting an individual's psychological state. Therefore, it is important in understanding cognitive age. This study implies that it is necessary to take into account both cognitive age and chronological age when segmenting donors. Moreover, this study confirmed that there are different factors affecting the motives behind donations. Thus, it may be utilized to create differential donation strategies.

현대 사회는 장기 및 인체조직기증에 대한 요구도가 높아지고 있으나, 우리나라에서 인체조직기증에 대하여 인식도와 기증률이 낮아 기증 활성화를 위한 현실적인 방안에 대한 연구가 필요할 것으로 사료된다. 본 연구는 국내외 관련 문헌고찰 및 나라별 이식 등록기구 홈페이지 자료를 참조하여, 인체조직기증과 관련한 국내 법률과 운영 제도 현황을 분석하였으며, 해외 주요 국가와 비교 고찰하였다. 본 연구를 통하여 국내 인체조직기증 활성화 방안으로 법률적 측면에서 이원화된 장기와 조직이식에 관한 법체계의 통합화, 제도 운영적 측면에서 과도한 압력이 없는 국가의 장기기증에 대한 추정적 동의 방식인 Opt-out 제도의 활성화와 사회 문화적 측면에서 대국민 홍보 활성화를 제시하였다. 그러나 추정적 동의 방식은 다양한 사회적 공론화 단계가 필요하며, 거부 의사를 위한 등록체계 운영사항에 대해 국내 실정에 맞는 이해가 있어야 할 것이다. 결론적으로 외국에 비하여 낮은 장기 및 인체조직기증을 활성화하기 위한 법적 제도 정비가 요구되며, 기증에 대한 긍정적 인식 전환, 대중 홍보 및 사후 기증자와 가족에 대한 지원 등이 필요할 것으로 사료된다.
