This study attempts to examine the effect of the capacity of civil servants on the characteristics and effectiveness of education and training programs on disaster management. To increase the effectiveness of education and training programs, it is necessary to primarily develop strategies to improve their interpersonal abilities in terms of characteristics such as diversity, cooperation, and sustainability. By examining the mediating effects of the capacity of disaster management officials on the relationship between the characteristics of education and training programs and their effectiveness, this study identified which characteristics of education and training programs should be enhanced to improve the capacity of disaster management officials and improve the effectiveness of education and training programs.

The paper presented safety needs, safe environment and safety culture as factors that affect the safety behaviors of citizens and analyzed their behaviors in three areas such as traffic safety, life safety, and disaster- related safety. Results show that safety desires and culture have a statistically significant impact on safety behavior and age and gender are associated with safety behavior. This paper presented several implications based on the results of the empirical analysis. First, since citizens’ safety culture has more influence on safety behavior than safety needs, the government’s policy direction needs a strategic approach to develop safety culture on the premise of safety needs. Second, it confirmed that influencing factors have a discriminatory effect on the safety of citizens. Third, a theoretical refinement is required as a further study, especially in the measurement of the safety behavior.

Public servants in the field of disaster and safety management need to be educated and trained to increase their job competence and performance. The purpose of this study is to analyze the effect of educational training on job competence and performance perceptions by focusing on the moderating effect of satisfaction on educational training effectiveness. The results of the findings show that perception of educational training effectiveness is positively related to job competence and performance perception of public servants. In addition, the negative effect of educational training factors on job competence and performance perception of public servants is reduced due to a moderating effect of satisfaction on educational training effectiveness. These findings have implications on understanding the effectiveness of educational training among public servants in Korea.
