  • Purpose: This study sought to examine the effect of core job characteristics, which is a concept related to the protection of medical skincare workers, on the organizational effectiveness with a focus on the mediating effect of self-efficacy. The aim is to help facilitate the development of the beauty service industry by promoting the achievement of organizational goals by securing professional manpower with job performance skills and by elevating the quality of the customer satisfaction services. Method: In this study, 405 copies of the online questionnaires for the medical skincare workers serving at skincare rooms and plastic surgery clinics by utilizing the IBM SPSS Statistics 25 program. To validate the effect of the core job characteristics of medical skincare workers on the organizational effectiveness by mediating self-efficacy, a 3 phased hierarchical multiple regression analysis was performed following the validation procedures of the mediating effect proposed by Baron & Kenny(1986) and the Sobel test was conducted to validate the mediating effect. Results: As a result of carrying out a 3 phased hierarchical multiple regression analysis in this study, in the first phase, among the sub-factors of the core job characteristics, which are the independent variables, job importance, feedback, job diversity, and autonomy, excluding job identity, were found to have sequentially impacted positively on the parameter of self-efficacy. In the second phase, among the sub-factors of the core job characteristics, which are the independent variables, autonomy, feedback, and job importance were found to have sequentially impacted positively on the dependent variable of organizational effectiveness. Lastly, the parameter self-efficacy and the independent variables of autonomy and feedback were found to have a positive effect on the organizational effectiveness. In the result of the Sobel test additionally conducted to validate the mediating effect, it was found that self-efficacy plays a mediating role in the relationship where job importance and feedback are impacting the organizational effectiveness. Conclusion: Based on the result of this study, it was validated that the job importance and feedback of the medical skincare workers increase the self-efficacy, and the increased self-efficacy in turn increases the organizational effectiveness. Hence, if self-efficacy is increased by providing feedback through education and a systematic inspection of their job with supervisors and colleagues for the perception of the importance of job for the members of organization, it will not only bring a positive effect on the performance of the organization, but also protect the employees, thereby promoting the achievement of organizational goals via efficient manpower management.

  • Purpose: Body composition status is influenced by changes in sex hormones, and this status is also closely related to normal daily life and the risk of various chronic diseases. On the other hand, the relative length of the second and fourth fingers(2D:4D ratio) has been proposed as a marker of prenatal androgen action of sensitivity to testosterone, with a lower 2D:4D being associated with high androgen exposure.In this study, it was examined the relationship between the 2D:4D ratio and various body composition parameters measured by bioelectric impedance analysis(BIA) in young adults to determine the usability of the 2D:4D ratio as a predictor of finger length- related diseases. Method: Ninety-three healthy individuals(60 men and 33 women, age 17-19 years) participated. Subjects’ body weight and height were measured, and body mass index(BMI) was calculated. Body fat mass, % body fat, % abdominal fat, skeletal mass, % muscle mass, and % bone mineral density was measured using BIA. SMI(skeletal muscle index) was calculated. The lengths of the second and fourth fingers of the right and left hands were measured using a electronic digital caliper, and the 2D:4D ratio and difference of the digit ratio between the right and left hands(Dr-l) were also calculated. The differences in anthropometric and body composition variables between males and females was analyzed using independent t-test. Pearson’s correlation coefficient was used to determine the relationship between finger length measures(the 2D:4D ratio and Dr-l) and body composition parameters. The significance level was considered as p ≤ 0.05 at all stages. Results: In this study, significant sexually dimorphic differences were found in all results of the anthropometric measures and body composition parameters, excluding Dr-l and % abdominal fat. The height and weight of men were significantly higher than that of women, and the variable related to fat-free mass of men among body composition was significantly higher than that of women. On the other hand, women were significantly higher than men in variables related to body fat mass. As the main findings about the correlation results between the finger length measures and the body composition parameters, there was a significant difference in the 2D:4D ratio between males and females, but all variables except male muscle mass were not significantly correlated with finger length measures. Conclusion: Although the 2D:4D ratio has been proposed as a marker of prenatal androgen action and of sensitivity to testosterone, these results found in this study suggest that finger length measures may not be a preventive indicator for predicting body composition differences and diseases associated with sex hormones and finger length parameters.

  • Purpose: Just as the natural environment is vital for people to live in, the park and green area, which are indicators for eco-friendly development, are essential when proceeding with urban development projects. Therefore, this study reviewed focusing on the park and green area ratio in the environmental impact assessment for urban development projects. Through this, we intended to provide a comprehensive guideline for environmental land use planning and design for urban development or residential land development projects and to guide plans and designs based on this. Method: The analysis was based on the environmental impact assessment, which was investigated for 145 urban development projects for 18 years from 2003 to 2020. We conducted a one-way ANOVA analysis to determine the difference between the green area rate by year, the green area rate by region, the population density by region, and the park area per person by region. Post-hoc analysis was performed by the Scheffe test. To conduct the above statistical analysis, we used the Spss Statistics 21 statistics program. Results: The number of consultations on environmental impact assessment for urban development projects by year was the highest in 2006 and 2008, with 14 cases(9.66%). The green area rate by year was as high as 25.09% in 2005, 24.88% in 2007, and 22.73% in 2009. The green area rate by region was the highest in the Gangwon area with 22.63%, followed by 20.47% in the metropolitan area, 19.59% in the Honam area, and 19.51% in the Chungcheong area. The population density by region was the highest with 2.10(person/m2) in the metropolitan area. Next the Gangwon area was 1.99(person/m2) and the Southeast area was 1.80(person/m2). The park area per person by region was the largest in the Honam area, with 10.93m2. Conclusion: The area of parks and green spaces is seen as the minimum standard stipulated by law. However, the high green area ratio and the difference in population density by region during active urban development projects are to create a pleasant residential environment. Therefore, in a place with high population density, it is necessary to establish a high standard for securing green space to create a comfortable living environment. Also, in the case of parks, the location is essential as well as the area. Since green areas on slopes excluding parks in the green area ratio are difficult to use, we insist that green areas on slopes should be reduced, and park areas should be set high to create a pleasant residential environment.
