The purpose of this study was to develop and validate a scale to measure the lifelong learning competence of adults in South Korea. This study followed the development and validation procedures of measurement tools proposed by Shin, Kim, & Kim (2009) and DeVellis (2003). Twenty-seven items of the lifelong learning competence scale of adults in South Korea, confirmed through a pilot survey, were validated through the main survey. The samples of the main survey were 799 adults over 19 years old. Construct validity, convergent validity, discriminant validity, cross validation, and criterion validity were analyzed with the collected data. There are major two conclusions. First, the scale for measuring the lifelong learning competence of adults in South Korea developed and validated in this study is a measurement tool that can measure ‘the basic learning competence required for adults living in modern society to live their daily lives'. Second, this scale consists of six competences of self-understanding, complex problem-solving, collaboration, correct decision-making, social change sensitivity, and self-directedness with 27 items.

The purpose of this study is to examine how the job characteristics perceived by employees of public institutions affect their Innovation Behavior. It also explored whether PSM (public service motivation) and WE (work engagement) had a mediating effect in the structural relationship. The perceived job characteristics were divided into Social Worth and Social Effect from the perspective of social exchange theory. For this study, the data collected from 495 employees of public institutions in South Korea were analyzed using the structural equation model. Findings have shown that perceived Social Worth did not have a significant effect on innovation behavior. On the other hand, perceived Social Effect had a positive impact on PSM, WE and IB. It has also been shown that innovation behavior is reinforced by PSM and WE when employees perceive the strong influence of their duties through inter-exchange relations with policy beneficiaries. Therefore, experience in identifying job influence is important to induce innovative behavior of workers at public institutions. Based on the findings, it was suggested that prosocial job characteristics should be considered in order to promote innovative behavior of employees at public institutions.

The purpose of this study is to develop and validate a test to measure the inner motivation and external experience related to creative achievement intention of university students. First, after deducing the area and components through literature research, the content validity was confirmed by experts and 20 preliminary test questions in two areas were developed. The participants of this study were 745 university students, and the collected data were statistically processed using SPSS WIN 22.0 and AMOS WIN 22.0 programs to verify the reliability and validity of the measurement tool. The appropriateness of the sample of KMO(Kaiser-Meyer-Olkin) was confirmed and Bartlett's sphere formation test was performed. Exploratory factor analysis was performed by the principal axis decomposition method and oblimin rotation. A confirmatory factor analysis was performed with the maximum likelihood method, and the fitness indexes such as CFI, TLI, and RMSEA were used. The final decision was that the creative achievement intention test would cover 2 areas, with a total of 12 questions, and the reliability of each area was Cronbach .793~.800 and the total reliability was .860. As such, the creative achievement intention measurement tool developed in this study has the validity and reliability of measurement questions for each area, so it can be used to measure creative achievement intention for university students.
