본 연구는 한국 직장인의 가치 지향성이 조직 내 행동 변수에 어떠한 영향을 미치며, 이 과정에서 포용 과 심리적 안전감과 같은 조직 상황 요인이 조절 역할을 하는지를 한국 직장인 8.5천명 데이터로 실증 분석하였다. 전통적으로 한국 직장인은 유교적 관계 중심성과 집단주의적 가치에서 비롯된 충성, 신뢰, 조화를 중시해왔지만, 급속한 산업화, 세계화, COVID-19 이후의 일·생활 재편, 생성형 AI 기술 도입 등의 환경 변화 속에서 가치체계가 동적으로 재편되고 있다. 본 연구는 이러한 가치 변동성에 주목하여, 12가지 가치(예: 일에 대한 자부심, 높은 임금, 복지, 안정성, 성취감, 지식/성장, 봉사 등)를 선정하고, 각 가치가 성장지향성, 혁신지향성, 직무만족과 이직의도에 미치는 영향을 회귀분석으로 검증하였다. 나아가 포용과 심리적 안전감이 가치-행동 관계를 어떻게 강화 또는 약화시키는지 살펴보았다. 분석 결과, 지식/성장, 성취감, 안정성, 봉사와 같이 발전 지향적 가치 추구는 성장, 혁신, 직무만족을 높이고 이직의도를 낮추는 경향을 보였다. 반면 높은 임금, 복지, 몸과 여유 등 물질·안정 지향 가치는 성장 및 혁신 의지 약화, 이직 의도 상승과 연관되었다. 또한 포용과 심리적 안전감은 가치-행동 관계를 특정 방향으로 조정하여, 일부 가치는 포용적 풍토나 심리적 안전감이 높은 환경에서 더 긍정적인 영향력을 발휘하거나 부정적 효과를 완화하는 것으로 나타났다. 이는 환경에 따라 변하는 주요 한국 직장인의 가치와 행동 변수간의 관계를 규명했다는 점에서 이론 및 실무적 시사점이 있다고 할 수 있다.

Yang, Myunghee, Yoo, Yang & Moon, Grace Ge-Soon. 2014. A Study of the Complaint Speech Act by Chinese Office Workers in Korea: With Focus on High-Level Strategies. The Sociolinguistic Journal of Korea 22(3). The present study examines the use of the speech act of complaint in Korean by Chinese office workers in Korea, with particular focus on their use of high-level strategies. By looking at the differences in speech act between Korean-speaking Chinese office workers and native Korean office workers from a cross-cultural pragmatics perspective, the study aims to shed light on intercultural differences and explore their implications for Korean language education. High-level strategies in the speech act of complaint are broadly classified into direct, indirect, mixed, and silent strategies. By means of a discourse completion test (DCT), 50 Chinese office workers and 50 Korean office workers were surveyed with respect to their use of the complaint speech act. The results indicated that Chinese office workers tend to use more indirect strategies than their Korean counterparts and that Korean office workers use the silent strategy more often than Chinese workers. Significant results were also obtained by comparing the use of high-level strategies by the two subject groups according to variables such as social status, familiarity, age, gender, and employment period.

Indoor and outdoor nitrogen dioxide (NO2) concentrations were measured and compared with measurements of personal exposures of 95 persons in Seoul, Korea and 57 persons in Brisbane, Australia, respectively. Time activity diary was used to determine the impact on NO2 exposure assessment and microenvironmental model to estimate the personal NO2 exposure. Most people both Seoul and Brisbane spent their times more than 90% of indoor and more than 50% in home, respectively. Personal NO2 exposures were significantly associated with indoor NO2 levels with Pearson coefficient of 0.70 (p<0.01) and outdoor NO2 levels with Pearson coefficient of 0.66 (p<0.01) in Seoul and of 0.51 (p<0.01) and of 0.33 (p<0.05) in Brisbane, respectively. Using microenvironmental model by time weighted average model, personal NO2 exposures were estimated with NO2 measurements in indoor home, indoor office and outdoor home. Estimated NO2 measurements were significantly correlated with measured personal exposures (r = 0.69, p<0.001) in Seoul and in Brisbane (r = 0.66, p<0.001), respectively. Difference between measured and estimated NO2 exposures by multiple regression analysis was explained that NO2 levels in near workplace and other outdoors in Seoul (p = 0.023), and in transportation in Brisbane (p = 0.019) affected the personal NO2 exposures.
