Purpose - The purpose of this study is to investigate the determinants of consumers' inflation expectations using consumers' inflation perceptions and the sub-components of consumer price index (CPI) basket in South Korea based on a consumer survey conducted by the Bank of Korea (BOK). Design/methodology/approach - Using Carroll's (2003) epidemiological model, we analyzed data from January 2013 to January 2023, resulting in a data set of 121 observations for both inflation perceptions and inflation expectations. This study focuses only on aggregate inflation expectations and perceptions because of data availability from the BOK. Findings - Professionals' forecasts play a major role in forming consumers' inflation expectations, whereas the actual headline CPI and consumers' inflation perceptions do not. These results remain robust when including the sub-components of the CPI basket in the analysis. Research implications or Originality - It would be the most efficient way to suppress professionals' expected inflation in fighting against a substantial spike in consumers' inflation expectations. To guide consumers' inflation expectations based on BOK's inflation targeting, the bank needs to consider professionals' forecasts in devising monetary policies.

본 연구는 공연예술상품의 속성과 기대혜택에 대한 전문가와 소비자의 인식을 비교하고자 하였다. 우선 델파이기법을 활용하여 공연예술 작품을 제작하는데 직 간접적으로 연관되어 있는 전문가들을 대상으로 하여 소비자들이 공연예술상품을 선택하는데 있어서 중요하게 생각하는 속성과 상품을 통해 얻고자 하는 기대혜택에 대한 의견을 조사하였다. 이와 더불어 전문가 조사결과와 선행연구를 토대로 구성된 공연예술 상품의 속성과 기대혜택에 대한 설문항목에 대하여 일반 소비자를 대상으로 설문조사를 실시하였다. 조사결과 "공연작품의 내용", "공연장의 위치", "티켓 가격", "스트레스 해소", "삶의 질 향상" 등이 전문가와 소비자 모두에게 중요하다고 나타났다. 반면에 소비자와 비교하여 전문가들은 "출연진의 명성", "예술가의 기량", "공연장 인지도 및 공연단체 명성", "공연장의 위치", "대중매체 홍보", "자아실현"을 중요한 것으로 인식하고 있어 일부 항목들에 대하여 전문가들이 소비자들의 요구를 과대평가하고 있음을 알 수 있다.

The purpose of this study was to identify patients' perceptions of health professionals' unkind behavior and the effects of this unkind behavior using a Phenomenological research methodology. Understanding of this phenomena should enlighten nurses to interaction and relationship problems between patient and health professionals and thus lead to further research toward enhancing these interaction and relationships. The subjects were 40 adult patients hospitalized in a university hospital in Seoul. They were from 20 to 65 yews old and hospitalized at IM, GS, OS, NS, OB /GY ward. Their hospital days were from 4 to 72. Data were collected from July 29 to August 9, 1991 and from January 6 to 17, 1992. The research questions were “What behavior on the part of health professionals you perceive as unkind and what effect does such behavior have in you\ulcorner”. Responses to the non-structured open-ended questions were audio-recorded during the interviews done by two nurses researchers. Data were analyzed using the phenomenological method of Colazzi. The validity was enhanced by confirmation of the analysis by two nursing clinical researchers, and professor of psychology, and philosophy, all knowledgable of phenomenological research. From the protocols, 146 significant statements about unkind behavior were organized into 38 formulating meanings which were then grouped into six clusters of themes. Patients' Perceived health professional' unkind behavior as being cold, insincere, unconcerned, disregardful, lacking in technical skill, and failing to provide a therapeutic environment. From the protocols, 65 significant statements about the influence of such behavior on patient care were organized into 18 formulating meanings which were then grouped into four clusters of themes. Patients perceived these unkind behavior influencing then emotionally, physically and having negative effects on their compliance with medical and nursing care. The study points to the need for health professionals to understand how their behavior may be perceived by their patients as unkind behavior. Patients perceptions of health professionals' unkind behavior may suggest the opposite desire, that professionals have exellent medical knowledge and skill and that they be sincere, concerned, respectful and warm emotionally toward their patients.

본 연구는 한국 HRD 전문가들이 인식하는 WLP 역할과 역량의 중요도를 분석하고, 이를 2004년 ASTD 글로벌 HRD 전문가 역량 연구 결과와 비교 논의함으로써 두 연구간의 공통점과 차이점을 발견하여 시사점을 제시하고자 하였다. HRD 전문가, 일터 학습 및 성과(WLP) 역량 모델 등의 문헌을 고찰하였고, 서울 경인권 소재 HRD 전문가를 대상으로 설문을 실시하여 205명의 응답을 최종 분석에 활용하였다. 주요 연구결과는 첫째, WLP 네 가지 역할 중 한국 HRD 전문가는 비즈니스 파트너 역할을, 글로벌 HRD 전문가는 직무 전문가 역할이 중요하다고 인식하는 것으로 나타났다. 둘째, WLP 열두 가지 역량 중 한국 HRD 전문가와 글로벌 HRD 전문가 모두 효과적 커뮤니케이션 역량을 가장 중요하게 인식하는 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구의 결과를 바탕으로 얻어진 결론을 제시하면 다음과 같다. 첫째, 한국과 글로벌 HRD 전문가들의 역할 인식에는 큰 차이가 있는데 이는 한국과 글로벌의 HRD 시장 특성을 반영한 결과로 볼 수 있다. 둘째, 한국과 글로벌 HRD 전문가들이 WLP 역량 인식에 있어서는 상당한 유사성을 보이고 있다. HRD 분야의 전문가로서 활동하기 위해서는 고객 및 다양한 이해당사자들과의 효과적 커뮤니케이션 전략을 개발하고 구사하는 것은 매우 중요하다고 할 수 있다.

Perceptions of Library and Information (LI) professionals in Nigeria and the impact of COVID-19 on libraries, librarians and library services, were studied. The significance of demographic factors on LI professionals' perception of COVID-19 and its impact on libraries was tested. Descriptive survey design and Purpose sampling technique were adopted. LIS professionals in Nigeria constituted the population, and an online questionnaire designed by the researchers through Microsoft Forms was used. Descriptive analysis of respondents' demographic data and their covid-19 perception were presented in frequencies and percentages using tables while multivariate regression technique was used to test the significance of relationship between variables at P < 0.05. Findings revealed that many (61.4%) of the respondents agreed that COVID-19 is real but have personal reservations. However, 47.5% indicated that COVID-19 is a scientific invention. On the impacts of COVID-19 on libraries, the study found that COVID-19 is a game changer that will enhance the creation of new services by libraries, cause the reconfiguration of library space for safe operations in post-COVID, establishment of new rules and regulations, and more reliance on e-resources. On the test of association, educational qualification of respondents had a significant impact on respondents' perceptions that COVID-19 will reduce the use of library print resources (P-value = 0.005, B: 0.38, [95% CI: 0.115 - 0.646]) and that library will create new services to address the changes caused by COVID-19. Also, educational qualification of respondents significantly influenced respondents' perception that COVID-19 is real. The study recommends that libraries should take advantage of the season to innovate, and that public health institutions should continually educate people on corona virus to disabuse people's mind of conspiracy theories.

The purpose of this research is to analyze what industry professionals and educators perceive as the definition of "research" and foodservice related-research so that the research become rather systematic and useful research. The research result is as follows. First, the independent t-test analysis of the definitions of research showed that the industry professionals were recognizing it as "investigations that are directed toward the discovery of new scientific knowledge that has specific commercial objectives with respect to products or processes or operation" while the educators were regarding it as "original investigation for the advancement of scientific knowledge that does not have a specific commercial objective." Second, the finding about the application of foodservice related-research to decision-making showed that the industry professionals did not fully utilize foodservice research and did not think it is applicable in the industry. That is because academic journal language is too hard for them to understand and they want to see research findings in industry shows and exhibitions or industry magazines in common understandable language. Lastly, foodservice researchers could initiate the dialog between themselves and industry professionals to diagnose the problems of the industry better and provide practical solutions through research findings.
