In the Moroccan employee population, the rate of workplace accidents is one of the highest in the world. Previous work has shown that for the victims the consequences of these accidents are often diverse and serious, but none of these studies has been interested in contributing to the psychosociological and behavioral characterization of the victims. Using a questionnaire sent to 82 Moroccan victims, and whose responses were statically studied by a Multiple Correspondence Analysis (MCA), we developed a typology of the qualitative characterization of all the victims studied. The results showed that among 26 qualitative variables estimated in victims, only six variables participated significantly in the typology of victims studied. The employee's relationship with his work colleagues, the relationship with his direct manager, the possibility of a career in his workplace, the presence - or absence - of the pleasure of working, the degree of precision required by the work, and the presence or absence of emotional burdens in the victim. Thus, only one characteristic of these victims could be considered as coming from a historical past of the victim, that is to say before the working period of his work: the possibility of having emotional charges. The other four characteristics can be developed in the victim before or during the work period.

Self-esteem is a feeling that an individual feels towards himself resulting in an assessment made of the individual in relation to his own value. Good self-esteem is important in life. However, certain life events can lower it. Among the employee, a work accident could be one. Thus, the present work is interested in the evaluation of this esteem in salaried workers victims of a work accident and in evaluating the correlation of this state of esteem with factors supposed to be components of self-esteem. The esteem status of 71 victims was assessed using the Rosenberg scale. The correlation of this state with the variables studied is evaluated based on the responses to a questionnaire developed taking into account certain psychosocial variables.Statistical processing of the data collected shows that all the variables studied help to differentiate four esteem groups. In the group of victims with very low self-esteem, this state is associated with a significant change in nervousness after the event, a feeling of a slight decrease in the gaze of others towards the victim after the accident, and the victims have a secondary education level. For the category of victims with low self-esteem, this state is associated with a low change in the state of nervousness after the accident, the state of the gaze of others towards the victim who was before the accident and the victim is university educated.

As the ICT environment changes rapidly, global information security companies are actively working on M&As to expand their portfolios and strengthen their positions in the market. The domestic market is dominated by large companies and although the technology and responsiveness of local information security companies are of high quality, the majority remain as small and medium-sized enterprises due to the limited domestic market environment and difficulties in expanding overseas.Therefore, the purpose of this research is to examine policy improvement measures for fostering information security start-ups and strengthening their competitiveness in order to reinforce the information security industry. With the growth of the global information security market, major countries are creating clusters to increase the competitiveness of the information security industry. Each country is implementing active institutional support and start-up development policies, such as providing tax benefits, financing, training of manpower and R&D to companies through clusters. In Korea, government agencies are preparing support measures for the growth of local start-up companies, but there is a lack of active cooperation with existing companies. In particular, start-up companies need to establish infrastructure because they need information on the market environment of existing information security companies and know-how in operating companies. Therefore, if a foundation for technological cooperation and strategic alliance between existing information security companies and start-ups is provided, then the extent of the information security industry will be raised to a higher level.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the perception of success they feel in the sports field and the field of general life. 118 collegiate male student-athletes (15 basketballs, 34 rugby, 25 ice hockey, 22 baseballs, and 22 footballs) were selected as a judgment sampling, which was a non-probability sampling method. And the survey was conducted using an open questionnaire. First, as a result of inductive analysis of 'perception of success in exercise', it was categorized 10 sub-areas (individual/team goal achievement, continuance of player life, mental/physical competence, victory/new-record achievement, recognition, increase in income, joined the woks/pro team, national team selection, happiness) and 5 general areas such as Performance Achievement (34.96%), Honor (29.37%), Monetary Reward (16.78%), Status Improvement (15.38%), and Happiness (3.49%). Next, the results of 'perception of success in life' include 9 sub-areas (happiness, positive life, self-satisfaction, work to be done, goal achievement, monetary compensation, recognition, family, health) and 5 general areas such as Happiness (27.27%), Achievement (25.97%), Monetary Reward (23.37%), Honor (13.63%), and others (9.74%). In summary, performance achievement was high as a reference for success in both exercise and life. Above all, subjective happiness was high as a criterion for the success of life, and it showed a different result than the previous one, which regarded exercise as a means for increasing economic income or increasing status.

The purpose of this study was to examine the relationships between an instructor’s professionalism determined by Pilates participants, participants’ physical self-description, and their subjective happiness. Due to the rapid growth of Pilates, we aimed to provide basic data on Pilates instructors’ program management and understanding of members’ needs by verifying the factors that make participants feel happy and sustained through Pilates. The study involved women participating in Pilates in Seoul and Gyeonggi Province from June to August 2019. Correlation analysis was used before regression analysis to predict the correlation between variables, and a multiple regression analysis was used to identify the effect of relationships and significant factors between each variable. Finally, in order to verify the effect of the mediator variable in the process of the independent variable affecting the dependent variable, a three-step mediator analysis process of Baron and Kenny (1986) was conducted. As a result of the regression analysis, the teaching technique, a sub-factor of the instructor’s professionalism, influenced the physical self-description of participants. Physical attractiveness, physical activity, sport competence, sub-factors of physical self-description as a mediator affected on Subjective happiness. Only teaching technique, a sub-factor of instructor’s professionalism, showed a statistically significant effect on subjective happiness. Next, as a result of identifying the mediating effect of the physical self-description, it was verified that the physical attractiveness and sport competence of the physical self-description had a partial mediating effect on the relationship between the instructor’s professionalism and subjective happiness.
