This study verified whether the relationship between self-assessed expertise and subject organizational performance of government officials in South Korea would vary depending on the type of recruitment system?open competitive examination for recruitment (OCER) and mid-career competitive recruitment (MCCR). Multiple regression analysis was conducted using Public Employee Perception Survey data from the Korea Institute of Public Administration. The results demonstrated that self-assessed expertise positively affected organizational performance. However, when the two groups were analyzed separately, self-assessed professionalism was not a significant factor in the MCCR model. Additionally, the mediation effect of work autonomy was confirmed between the two models; the mediation effect was present in the OCER group, but not in the MCCR group. The results suggest that creating conditions for work and personnel management that allow MCCR employees to maximize their expertise is necessary, however, the government’s current personnel management system prevents their expertise from being fully utilized.

This study aims to research the mediating effect of customer reliability in the relationship of the beauty professionals' communication styles and the intention to revisit to increase the reliability and revisitation of the customers who use beauty services. A self-administered survey with 23 questions related to general characteristics, communication styles, customer reliability, and intention to revisit was given to 413 customers. Through SPSS 20.0, frequency analysis, factor analysis, reliability analysis, regression analysis, and mediation regression analysis were performed. The result showed that communication style has 3 factors: cooperation type, control type, and professional type and that the customer reliability and the intention to revisit drew single factors, respectively. And all the effects of the beauty professionals' communication style on the customer reliability, the customer reliability on the intention to revisit, and the communication style on the intention to revisit appeared to have a positive effect. Also, the customer reliability showed the mediating effect in the relationship between cooperation type and the intention to revisit. And in the relationship of control type, professional type, and intention to revisit, by the full mediation effect, the customer reliability appeared to work as an essential variable in the relationship of communication style and intention to revisit. Based on this result, the author expects that this study can help expand the training for the communication style that fits the beauty service environment and create profits with the competitiveness reinforcement by the strategy development of proper service training and marketing for beauty professionals.

This study aimed to investigate the relationship between cultural orientations (horizontal/vertical -individualism/collectivism) and organizational citizenship behaviors (OCBI or OCBO). Levels of perceived organizational support (POS) was treated and evaluated as a moderator or a mediator. Data were collected based on a survey from 385 workers of various organizations. Correlation analysis for relationship between variables, hierarchical regression analysis for moderation effect of POS, and a series of simple regression analysis for mediation effect of POS were performed. The results showed the followings. First, except for OCBI, all types of cultural orientation appeared to relate to OCBO. Second, horizontal- individualism showed no indication of POS, resulted in a non-significant mediating effect on the relationship between horizontal-individualism and OCBI/OCBO. Third, except for the significant moderating effect of POS in the relationship between vertical-collectivism and OCBO, POS was found to have partial mediating effects on the relationship between cultural orientation-OCB. Limitations and further research consideration were discussed.

The purpose of this study was to verify the relationships among parental overprotection (PO), military life adjustment (MLA), social anxiety, and collective efficacy (CE). There have been studies examining the influence of each of these variables in isolation, but no study has examined these variables simultaneously. Two hundred and thirty-one male conscript soldiers participated in the study. Results indicated that all four variables were correlated with one another. Through hierarchical regression analysis, we determined that social anxiety fully mediated the relationship between PO and MLA. Furthermore, we found that CE moderated the relationship between PO and social anxiety. Finally, we confirmed the moderated mediation effect of CE in our proposed model. We discuss the implications and limitations of this model.
