The purpose of this study was to examine the effect of personality(extraversion, conscientiousness, and neuroticism), job demand, and job control on job stress. First, this study examined the effect of the personality(extraversion, conscientiousness, and neuroticism) on job stress. Second, this study investigated a moderating effect of job control in the relationship between job demand and job stress. Third, this study investigated the three-way interaction effect of extraversion, job demand, and job control on job stress. Data were collected from 292 white collar employees. The result of this study showed extraversion and conscientiousness were negatively related to job stress, and neuroticism was positively related to job stress. Job control didn't moderate the relationship between job demand and job stress. The three-way interaction effect of job demand, job control, and extraversion on job stress was significant. Based on these results, the implications and limitations of this study and the directions for future research were discussed.
This paper focusing on aberrant and positive driving behaviors investigated the effects of aberrant and positive driving behaviors on crashes. Among drivers conducting DBQ(measuring aberrant driving behaviors) and the positive driving behavior questionnaire, 258 participants' data were analyzed. Result of factor analysis showed that driver behavior consisted of 'Positive Driving Behaviors’, ‘Errors’, ‘Violations’. Errors and violation factor were positively correlated with traffic accidents. Positive driving behaviors factor negatively correlated with traffic accidents. Result of regression analysis reported that amongst three factors(positive driving behaviors, errors, violations) errors was found to be significantly predictive of crashes. As expected, errors directly had effects on crashes that errors, positive driving behaviors and violations indirectly did. We identified that positive driving behaviors were negatively related with aberrant driving behaviors and crashes.
Drunk driving is well known asa serious social concern because it raises the possibility to make drivers engage in traffic accidents and casualties of these accidents are heavier than any others. This study researched the relationship between drivers' confidence level and traffic accidents in DWI(Driving While Intoxicated)offenders group. Based on this relationship, paths explaining the impact of driver's confidence level on traffic accidents also have been linked. The ‘Driving Confidence Level Questionnaire’ is known to consist of four sub-factors such as ‘Insensibility to Situations’, ‘Unsafe Driving’, ‘Careless Concentration’ and ‘Self-efficacy of Driving’. The result showed that ‘Driving Confidence Level’ of DWI offenders and their speeding-offence records had positive correlations with traffic accidents. More over, in the path analysis, ‘Insensibility to Situations’ factor showed the biggest positive impact among four ‘Driving Confidence Level Questionnaire’ sub-factors on traffic accidents. This means drivers' inordinate optimistic attitude to traffic situations and their excessive self-confidence under influences of alcohol make driver's be in dangerous situations.
The purposes of this study were to examine importance of the quality of reemployment in an area of reemployment research and to analyze antecedents and outcome variables of the quality of reemployment with longitudinal data. Data were collected three times with six months intervals on each survey. For this study, 289 people who were unemployed at the first survey but reemployed at the second survey and remained reemployed at the final survey were analyzed. The main results were as follows: First, among the three groups(high quality of reemployment, low quality of reemployment, and continuous unemployment group) at the second survey, there were not much differences in mental health scores between the low quality group and the continuous unemployment group. Secondly, career plan, self-esteem, and job -seeking self-efficacy were significantly correlated with reemployment quality, and reemployment quality was significantly correlated with various outcome variables such as physical health, mental health, life satisfaction, and intention to turnover. Thirdly, generally reemployment quality mediated the relationships between antecedents and outcomes with some exceptions on the relationship between career plan and intention to turnover, and the relationship between job-seeking self-efficacy and intention to turnover. Based on these results, the implications and limitations of this study, and the direction for future research were discussed.
