About the Lab

Professor Sang-min Yang's research lab focuses on psychological resilience, burnout, and organizational dynamics, with an emphasis on understanding the factors that influence mental health and well-being in educational, clinical, and organizational settings. The lab conducts large-scale meta-analyses and empirical studies to explore the roles of social support, parental practices, and organizational ambidexterity in shaping individual outcomes such as student burnout, counselor well-being, and firm resilience. Key research directions include the development of psychometric tools (e.g., Counselor Burnout Inventory), the application of dynamic capability theory to supply chain management, and the identification of protective and risk factors in psychological adjustment. The lab integrates psychological, educational, and strategic management perspectives to advance evidence-based interventions and organizational practices.

Abstract The purpose of this study is to identify specific burnout patterns among Korean students. Using a cluster analysis procedure and the Maslach Burnout Inventory–Student Survey, four clusters were identified: (1) distressed group; (2) laissez‐faire group; (3) persevering group; and (4) well‐functioning group. In addition, the results of categorical regression analysis indicated that self‐esteem and Grade Point Average (GPA) were good discriminators between the four clusters. Specifically,

한국적 학교상담 모형개발을 위한 한국과 미국의 학교상담 비교연구

한국의 학교상담은 오래된 역사에도 불구하고, 최근에 들어서야 학교상담 업무만을 전담으로 하는 전문상담교사제도가 도입되었다. 새로이 도입된 제도는 학교상담영역을 더욱 전문화하게 하고 학교현장에서 전문상담교사가 자리매김을 할 수 있는 계기를 제공하였다. 이러한 성과에도 불과하고, 구체적인 학교상담모형의 부재로 인해 학교현장에서 학교상담자의 역할과 직무에 대한 혼돈은 계속되고 있다. 새로이 임용된 전문상담교사들은 “누가 언제 무엇을 어떻게 할 것인가”에 대한 분명한 답을 줄 수 있는 구체적인 역할모형의 필요성을 주장하고 있다. 이 글에서는 학교상담자가 어떤 역할을 수행해야 한다는 답을 제시하기 보다는, 그에 앞서 한국적 학교상담모형 개발 시 선행되어야 할 요소와 논쟁거리에 대해 심층적인 논의를 통해 한국적 학교상담 모형개발을 위한 시사점들을 탐색하였다. 이를 위해 먼저 연구자들은 미국과 한국의 학교상담의 변천사와 현황을 비교 분석하여 두 나라의 학교상담 발전에 영향을 미친 요소들을 파악하
