The purpose of this study was to examine how college students use Facebook and the ways in which they feel of commitment while using Facebook. The Big Five Personality Model has been considerably used in the psychology fields, and the researchers have started to explore the role of characteristic factors in influencing an individual's use of social media, such as Facebook which has become one of the most popular social networking site in the world. Therefore, the current study aims to specify the links between The Big Five Personality Model and usage patterns as well as commitment of Facebook. Two hundreds thirty five college students participated in a survey and the results are as follows: First, participants who were high in extraversion and agreeableness were more likely to do information sharing activities such as sharing posts to their friends, writing comments on the other's posts. In addition, participants who were high in openness to experience, conscientiousness, and neuroticism were more likely to do information producing activities including offering events, group, or public pages to meet people both on and offline. Second, in terms of the relationship between personality traits and commitment to the Facebook, the study found that extraversion and neuroticism were related to users' commitment to Facebook. These findings are consistent with the existing literature regarding extraversion and neuroticism were representative personality factors when it comes to commitment of media. Specifically, the study found that those who were high in neuroticism were more likely to produce information such as posting photos repeatedly or tagging their friends on posts, and also more likely to feel commitment on Facebook. These findings confirm that personality is a highly relevant factor in determining individual's behavior and the degree of commitment on Facebook. Based on these findings implications and limitations of the study are discussed.

Purpose: The purpose was to identify the influence the quality of head and clinical nurses' LMX (Leader-Member Exchange) on job satisfaction and organizational commitment. Methods: The participants were 42 head nurses and 202 clinical nurses who worked in 7 hospitals with more than 300 beds in I-city. The data were collected from March 10 to April 10, 2013 using a self-report questionnaire. Data analysis was performed using hierarchical regression with the SPSS/WIN 20.0 program. Results: The mean score for head nurses' LMX quality was 3.66 and for clinical nurses, 3.51. Clinical nurses' LMX quality and age had a positive impact on job satisfaction (F=8.00, p<.001). Clinical nurses' LMX quality and marriage (not single) had a positive impact on organizational commitment (F=6.76, p<.001). Conclusion: The LMX quality of head nurse was higher than that of clinical nurses, but did not positively affect clinical nurses' job satisfaction or organizational commitment indicating that the LMX quality of clinical nurses is more important than that of head nurse. Thus head nurses should make efforts to lead their units or teams in a positive and friendly way. This positive recognition will promote greater job satisfaction and organizational commitment of clinical nurses.
