The principal objective of this study was to evaluate the perceived management performance and importance level of nutrition teachers by school administrators in the Chonbuk area. Self-administered questionnaires were collected from 142 school administrators. Statistical data analysis was completed using SPSS v. 12.0. Approximately 74.6% of the subjects were men. About 37% of subjects were principals, 33% were vice principals, and 35% were administrative directors, with over 60% aged 40-50 years(p<0.05). Among the 142 schools evaluated, 82.7% were located in urban areas and 17.3% were in ml areas. About 98% of the schools served meals in the dining room(pd0.05). Approximately 68% of the schools employed nutrition teachers and 33.4% had school dietitians(p<0.001). The result indicated that the overall importance level(4.24) was higher than the performance leve1(3.97)(p<0.001). In a survey of the degree of task performance by nutrition teachers, administrators regarded sanitation management was evaluated as the most important performance parameter(4.49), other management attributes as very important parameters(4.41), with nutrition counseling being much less important(2.76) and meal service being least important(3.29; except for classroom teachers). According to the tide of the subjects, evaluations of administrative directors were lower than evaluations of principals and the vice principals. The results indicate that nutrition teachers should not only have meal service management as their main duty, but should also be involved in constructing a life-long health management system for students and teachers by conducting nutrition education and counseling, and should be active in the development of nutrition education programs and in the duties of sanitation management of school meals.

School dietitians are divided into two groups according to their status of employment, school nutrition teachers and dietitians, with the latter being irregularly employed by the institution. In this study, the job satisfaction, communication ability, work performance and importance in feeding services and dietetic counseling of both groups were compared. To accomplish this, 100 regularly employed school nutrition teachers (regularly employed) and 101 dietitians (irregularly employed) were surveyed by questionnaire. The results were as follows: (1) The irregularly employed dietitians showed a lower level of job satisfaction than the school nutrition teachers. This was likely because the school nutrition teachers belonged to the strong inner circle of school teachers and cafeteria workers, and had enough time to prepare for class lectures and consultancy. Conversely, the irregularly employed dietitians generally handle extra office work in addition to their primary duties. Despite these differences, both parties agreed that it was necessary to change the work system. Additionally, school dietitians reported that they had little opportunity for further training for career development. (2) Both parties had good communication skills; however, the irregularly employed dietitians had more conflicts with other staff members than the regular employees. (3) Job performance and job importance level was compared among employees involved in school feeding services and nutrition counseling. No significant differences were observed between dietitians and nutrition teachers in either group (p<0.05). However, the school nutrition teachers showed better skills than school dietitian with respect to public relations, running independent counseling offices, and using effective tools and materials. Job performance level was lower when compared to job importance level for all items, which meant the job was not well performed when compared to the work importance awareness.

  Enhanced machine reliability has dramatically reduced the rate and number of railway accidents but for further reduction human error should be considered together that accounts for about 20% of the accidents. Therefore, the objective of this study was t

It is known that human factors account for 80 percent of all railway accidents. To reduce human errors must be the most efficient shortcut to railway safety. For public transportation employees like railway, the more delicate safety management should be executed in individual level. However, there are rarely efforts to improve safety performance of workers who are the subject operating the railway system. This paper develops a hierarchy model to evaluate the human safety performance in railway industry. To evaluate the model, AHP (Analytic Hierarchy Process) methodology is adopted. The hierarchy model is composed of four levels which are objective, two criteria, specific factors of criteria, and rating scales. In addition, since employees for evaluation are over 10, the pairwise comparisons for rating scales are carried out by the absolute measurement. We explore the applicability of AHP to the performance evaluation of railway safety workers by an example and also investigate the changes of alternatives that are railway employees according to the changes of human characteristic which is one of criteria.

목적 : 척수손상 환자의 ASIA 운동능력 성취점수와 SCIMⅡ를 사용한 일상생활수행도와의 상관관계를 연구하여 일상생활수행 훈련 시 운동능력성취점수의 향상을 위한 효율적인 치료 방법의 선택 기준을 마련하고자 함이다. 연구방법 : 본 연구는 부산 시내에 거주하는 손상 후 6개월 이상인 42명의 척수손상 환자로 하였고 연구 기간은 2004년 12월부터 2005년 1월까지 이루어졌다. 평가도구는 ASIA의 운동능력 성취점수와 SCIMⅡ를 사용하여 운동능력 성취점수와 일상생활 수행도와의 상관관계를 알아보았다. 결과 : 척수손상환자 42명 중 손상 유형에 따라 3개의 군으로 나누어 비교하였다. 완전사지마비군에서 상지-전체 운동능력 성취점수와 일상생활활동과는 통계학적으로 유의한 상관관계를 보이고(p〈.01) 높은 상관관계가 나타났다(r=.90, r=.90). 불완전사지마비군에서는 상지-하지-전체 운동능력 성취점수와 일상생활활동과는 통계학적으로 유의한 상관관계를 보였고(p〈.05) 높은 상관관계를 보였다(r=.64, r=.81, r=.87). 하지마비군에서는 상지-하지-전체 운동능력 성취점수와 일상생활활동과는 통계학적으로 유의한 상관관계를 보였고(p〈.05) 보통의 상관관계를 보였다(r=-.49, r=.60, r=.61). 결론 : 이상의 결과로 볼 때 척수손상 환자에 대한 ASIA 운동능력 성취점수와 SCIMⅡ와는 상관관계가 있으므로 척수장애 재활의 지표를 확립하는 연구에 활용될 수 있을 것으로 생각된다.

In order to apply job performance records to the master craftsman examination, which is an examination to screen the top-rated technician and task manager, the domestic industry has introduced job performance records to the written test of the master craftsman examination. Surveys on master craftsman's field capabilities and applicability are being conducted, and various qualification methods are being tested so as to give satisfaction to consumers in industrial fields. However, these methods have many problems in assessing task managers' qualifications. In order to solve these problems, this research intends to verify the appropriateness of introducing master craftsman's portfolios assessment and the suitability of application methods by conducting interviews and surveys. One big conglomerate and one mid-sized company that has more than 500 employees and covers from 주조(酒造:brewing) 또는 to providing various services to consumers were selected for this research.

The Main Control Room(MCR) of Korean Next Generation Reactor(KNGR) has faced entirely new operation environment. The Computerized Procedure System(CPS) is completely different from existed Paper-based Procedure(PBP). The CPS which is improved by evaluation in this study is ready to be applied to the ergonomic foundations. In this study, we redesigned displays of the CPS as a Man-Machine Interface System(MMIS) to maximize human performance and to minimize human error and proposed an alternative display designs of the CPS applying principles related with MMIS.

본 연구는 인간의 정신부하작업중 반응시간이 제한된 긴급상황에서 시스템이 비정상적인 상태로 변화할 경우 인간의 수행도 특성을 살펴보고 이를 보조할 수 있는 보조장치의 설계에 도움을 주는 기준안을 제시하고자 한다. 긴급상황에서의 최우선시 되는 수행도는 반응시간보다는 시스템을 성공적으로 제어하여 비극적인 재해를 방지하는 일이다. 그러므로 여러 작업 수행도들 중에서 제어에 실패하게 되는 요인의 영향도를 알아내는 것이 중요하다. 실험결과 인간의 반응은 극히 제한된 짧은 반응시간내의 수행도는 단일작업에서의 수행도는 시스템의 전체 영향도를 제대로 반영하지 못함을 알 수 있었다. 이럴 경우 부수작업을 부여했을 때 시스템의 변화 요인의 영향도를 더욱 잘 나타내는 것임을 유도하였다. 그러므로 시스템의 상황이 비 정상적인 상태로 진행될 경우, 특히 이러한 상황에서 반응해야 할 시간이 제한적일 경우 수행도 측정에는 다양한 형태의 부수작업을 개발하고 이를 이용한 측정이 더욱 효율이 있다는 점을 제시한다.. 이러한 실험의 결과를 유추해보면 안전장치 기기의 설계를 위해서는 운용되는 상황에 맞는 측정방법이 개발되어야 긴급 상황의 수행도를 측정할 수 있다.

The purpose of this study was to investigate whether training of writing a daily work log using cognitive therapy approach can help increase work performance in a patient with depression using a single subject experimental reversal design (ABA). Method : The patient is a 19-year male youth with a diagnosis of depression of which onset was 2 years. While being on a work-aid program for individuals with various disabilities, he has shown helplessness, inferiority with his appearance, insomnia, and suicidal impulse besides depression. His supervisor reports that he often fails to complete his own work, makes errors and mistakes, and cuts his work hours. His training of writing a daily work log consisted of the following steps; (a) analyzing and writing about the circumstances, his behaviors, thoughts, and feelings at the happiest and unhappiest work or time on a daily basis; (b) analyzing and writing his plans about how to improve his unhappy feelings or circumstances, implement them accordingly, and the results post implementation of these plans; (c) reviewing his daily work log and discussing about it with the main investigator daily; and (d) writing 3 times and reading aloud 2 times his resolutions regarding the unpleasant circumstances, methods to improve the circumstances or feelings, and the expected positive results from his resolutions. This training was conducted for 5 days. Results : The results were: on self-reporting depression scale, a mean of 80% in the baseline and 68% in the training; on self-reporting on the patient’s work performance satisfaction, a mean of 68% in the baseline, and 88% in the training; the supervisor’s reporting of the patient on the Work Personality Profile, a mean of 58% in the baseline and 70% in the training; and on the self-reporting on the Dysfunctional Attitude Scale, 215 out of 280 full points in the baseline and 164 in the training. Conclusions : The results indicate that the use of writing a daily log using cognitive approach helps improve not only depression state but also work performance in a patient with depression.
