This study examines the relationship between intrinsic motivation and individuals' performance in the Republic of Korea armed forces and explores whether job stress mediates the relationship between intrinsic motivation and individuals' performance. The research questions are: (1) Does intrinsic motivation influence individual performance in military organizations? (2) Does job stress impact individual performance? and (3) Does job stress mediate the relationship between intrinsic motivation and individual performance? The study utilizes data collected from a 350 soldiers survey in the Special Forces Brigade and Special Assault Commando Regiment of the Republic of Korea's Army. We use structural equation modeling (SEM) to explore the mediation role among intrinsic motivation, job stress, and individuals' performance. Research findings suggest that intrinsic motivation negatively impacts job stress. We also find that job stress has a positive effect on firearm skills. Moreover, the study reveals that the relationship between intrinsic motivation and firearm skills is partially mediated by job stress.

The relaxation of the intrinsic stresses in the diamond films fabricated by the hot filament CVD was studied, and it was confirmed that the tensile intrinsic stresses in the films could be controlled without any degradation in the quality of the diamond films. The tensile intrinsic stresses in the films decreased from 2.97 to 1.42 GPa when the substrate thickness increased from 1 to 10mm. This result showed that the residual stress was affected by the substrate thickness as well as by the interaction between grains. Applying of ＋50 V between the W filament and the Si substrate during deposition, the tensile intrinsic stress in the film deposited at 0 V was decreased from 2.40 GPa to 0.71 GPa. Such large decrease in the tensile intrinsic stress was due to $\beta$-SiC which acted as a buffer layer for the stress relaxation. However, the application of the large voltage above ＋200V resulted in the change of quality of the diamond film, and nearly had no effect on relaxation in the tensile intrinsic stress.

Our group previously observed the intrinsic stress evolution of Cu thin films during deposition by changing the deposition rate. Intrinsic stress of Cu thin films, which show Volmer-Weber growth, is reported to display three unique stress stages, initial compressive, broad tensile, and incremental compressive stress. The mechanisms of the initial compressive stress and incremental compressive stages remain subjects of debate, despite intensive research inquiries. The tensile stress stage may be related to volume contraction through grain growth and coalescence to reduce over-accumulate Cu adatoms on the film surface. The in-situ intrinsic stresses behavior in Cu thin films was investigated in the present study using a multi-beam curvature measurement system attached to a thermal evaporation device. The effect of substrate surface roughness was monitored by observed the in-situ intrinsic stress behavior in Cu thin films during deposition, using $100{\mu}m$ thick Si(111) wafer substrates with three different levels of surface roughness.

This study examined the effects of stress and self-esteem on depression in Christian college students. For the study, 382 Christian Education college students were surveyed. The results showed that intrinsic spirituality was negatively correlated with stress and depression, while it was positively correlated with self-esteem. It also revealed that intrinsic spirituality was the control between the two variables of self-esteem and depression among the students.

Purpose: This study explores the intrinsic and extrinsic stress factors that affect employees' job satisfaction. The study reviews the literature on three intrinsic and three extrinsic stress factors that influence the job satisfaction level of employees, establishing the various research findings on the factors and finding the relevant links that such findings have to current research. Research design, data and methodology: The present researcher collected the relevant prior studies via literature content approach that was used by numerous previous works. The researcher transcribed the data gathered from the participants. The next analyst would code the different features of data systematically across the entire set of data, thereby collecting the relevant data for each of the codes. Results: The investigation suggests six stress factors to be connected to job satisfaction, such as Hours of Work Employee Job Satisfaction, Communication and Employee job Satisfaction, Leadership Style Employee Job Satisfaction, Competition Employee Job Satisfaction, Career Development Opportunities Employee Job Satisfaction, Strikes and employee Job Satisfaction Conclusions: This research concludes that organizations with proper communication channels will certainly influence their employees positively and hence give them job satisfaction. Overall, this qualitative research has found that intrinsic and extrinsic factors influence the job satisfaction level of employees in a workplace.

In this study, intrinsic static/dynamic fracture toughness of Al 7175-T74 are evaluated from the apparent static/dynamic toughness of notched specimen. The notch/crack critical average stress fracture model is suggested to establish the relationship to predict the intrinsic fracture toughness from the apparent fracture toughness of a notched specimen. The notch/crack critical average stress fracture model is established using the relation between the notch root radius and the effective distance calculated by finite element analysis. It is conclude that the true fracture toughness can be estimated from test results of apparent fracture toughness measured by using a notched specimen. Also, critical notch root radius can be predicted by notch/crack critical average stress fracture model.

We analyze the buckling of a thin elastic plate due to intrinsic stresses in thin films attached to the surfaces of the plate. In the case of cylindrical buckling, it is shown that for a plate with clamped edges compressive intrinsic film stresses can cause flexural buckling of the plate, while tensile intrinsic film stresses cannot. For a plate with free edges, film intrinsic stresses, compressive or tensile, cannot cause buckling.

A model of mechanical behavior of microcantilever due to intrinsic strain during deposition of MEMS structures is derived. A linear ordinary differential equation is derived for the beam deflection as a function of the thickness of the deposited layer. Closed-form solutions are not possible, but numerical solutions are plotted for various dimensionless ratios of the beam stiffness, the intrinsic strain, and the elastic moduli of the substrate and deposited layer. This model predicts the deflection of the cantilever as a function of the deposited layer thickness and the residual stress distribution during deposition. The usefulness of these equations is that they are indicative of the real time behavior of the structures, i.e. it predicts the deflection of the beam continuously during deposition process.

This study was an examination of the relevance and clinical significance of electroencephalographic (EEG) indexes (e.g., mental/physical stress and attention) and indexes of heart rate variability (HRV) with regard to cognitive function and physiological health conditions in elderly people. A device was used to record two-channel EEGs of the frontal lobe and a one-channel ECG simultaneously. Subjects were 76 people average aged 73. The significant findings are as follows: First, subjects whose intrinsic alpha rhythm had high amplitude, regardless of peak, showed higher resistance to mental stress and lower physical stress than did subjects with low-amplitutde intrinsic alpha rhythm. Second, HRV, SDNN, and RMSSD indexes showed strong positive correlations between the two groups of subjects regardless of the division of groups. Third, the alpha asymmetry of the left and right sides of the brain in subjects with low-amplitude intrinsic alpha rhythm was larger, and the delta/alpha ratio (reflecting physical stress) and theta/sensorimotor rhythm (SMR) ratio (showing the decline in attention) were bigger. Fourth, the subjects in whom intrinsic alpha rhythm peak occurred during slow rhythm had a higher theta/SMR ratio than did subjects whose peak occurred during fast rhythm, which was related to a steeper decline in attention. Therefore, the presence or absence of intrinsic alpha rhythm peak and amplitude on quantitative EEG may be an index reflecting the cognitive function and physiological health of elderly people.
