This paper examines the role of adverse working environments in the determination of workers' compensation in South Korean. I use the Third Korean Working Conditions Survey(2011), Occupational Safety and Health Research Institute that provide relevant variables in objective and subjective compensation and workers of diverse working environment. I find that risk factors in adverse working environments have a very minor role in the determination of individual wages. In contrast, adverse working environments have significant relationship with the level of compensation satisfaction. In addition, the results show that workers are more likely to receive compensation from psychological risk than physical risk. And women receive much more compensation in the psychological risk. These results provide useful information for improvement of working environments.

지난 7월 4일부터 7일까지 열렸던 국제안전보건전시회 기간에는 27개에 달하는 다양한 세미나가 함께 개최되어 산업안전의 중요성을 강조했다. 그 가운데 인쇄산업과도 관련성이 있고 흥미를 가질 수 있는 <근로환경 만족도에 영향을 미치는 요인에 관한 연구>를 요약, 게재한다. 근로자의 의식수준이 높아지고 일부 사업장에서 발생하고 있는 산업재해와 직업병이 사회적인 문제로 대두되면서 근로환경에 대한 관심이 증가하고 있다. 근로환경 개선은 생산성 증가를 통해 기업성과에 영향을 미치고 국민 대다수가 취업자인 현대사회에서 기본권을 보장하는 측면에서도 중요하다. 더욱이 저출산, 고령화 사회의 도래로 근로활동인구의 부족이 경제성장의 중요한 장애요인으로 작용할 것으로 예상되는 상황에서 업무상 질병 및 사고를 줄이는 것은 근로자복지 제고뿐만 아니라 예상되는 근로자 부족 문제를 완화하는데도 기여할 것이다.

본 연구에서는 장애 임금근로자의 근로환경, 업무특성, 지속근무 의도, 직무만족도 간의 구조적 관계분석을 통해 장애 임금근로자의 직무만족도 향상 방안을 제시하고자 한다. 분석자료는 장애인고용패널 2차웨이브 6차년도 패널데이터 중 15세이상 임금 장애근로자 1,582명을 분석에 사용하였다. 분석결과, 첫째, 장애 임금근로자의 근로환경은 직무만족도에 정(+)적인 영향을 미쳤지만, 지속근무 의도에는 유의한 영향을 미치지 않았다. 둘째, 장애 임금근로자의 업무특성은 지속근무 의도와 직무만족도에 정(+)적인 영향을 미쳤다. 셋째, 장애 임금근로자의 지속근무 의도는 직무만족도에 정(+)적인 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 넷째, 장애 임금근로자의 근무환경과 직무만족도 사이에 지속근무 의도는 매개효과를 나타내지 않았다. 다섯째, 장애 임금근로자의 업무특성과 직무만족도 사이에 지속근무 의도는 매개효과를 미치는 것으로 분석되었다.

The purpose of this study is to analyze the working hours of Korean workers in terms of occupation, employment contract period, employment type, final education level based on the first(2006), second(2010), third(2011), fourth(2014) Korean Working Conditions Survey(KWCS) results. Also KWCS was compared to European Working Conditions Survey(EWCS). It is found that weekly working hours were decreasing over the years since mid 2000 but weekly working hours of Korean were still longer than those of Europeans. It is also found that service workers and sales workers worked longer hours than specialists, that private sector worked longer hours than public and non-profit organization, and that the less educated worked longer hours than the more educated.

최근 들어 근로자의 이동시간 단축을 통한 에너지 절감뿐만 아니라 저출산 고령화에 따른 노인 인구의 경제활동 유도, 출산여성에 대한 경력단축 방지, 장애인에 대한 근로활동 제공 등을 위한 근로 환경의 변화가 요구되고 있다. 이러한 근로환경을 제공하기 위한 스마트워크는 기존 사무실에서 근무하는 환경을 탈피하여 댁내, 스마트워크 센터, 또는 이동 중에도 마치 직장에서 근무하는 것처럼 업무를 효율적으로 수행할 수 있는 환경을 제공한다. 스마트워크는 현재 사용중인 여러 가지의 기술들을 근로환경에 맞게 채택하여 구현할 수 있으며, 특히 근로자의 업무 생산성을 높이기 위한 협업기능이 제공될 필요가 있다. 영상협업 기능은 영상, 음성 및 콘텐츠 공유를 통해 원격지 간에 효과적인 업무를 수행할 수 있도록 제공하는 기능이다. 본 논문은 스마트워크에서 영상협업을 제공하기 위하여 요구되는 상호연동 기능확장을 위한 표준화 이슈에 대하여 기술한다.

지난 6월 1일부터 사업주가 안전모 · 안전대 · 안전화를 지급하고 착용토록 했으나 이를 착용하지 않은 근로자에게는 1차 경고 없이 현장에서 즉시 5만원의 과태료가 부과된다. 만약 사업주가 보호구를 지급하지 않아 근로자가 이를 착용하지 못했다면 근로자에게 과태료를 부과할 수 없으며, 사업주에게 5년 이하의 징역 또는 5천만원 이하의 벌금이 부과된다. 노동부가 이처럼 근로자에게 즉시 과태료를 부과키로 한 것은 지난해 사망사고 분석 결과 564명(전체의 52.8%)이 추락이나 낙하 · 비래로 인해 사망했고, 이런 사망사고를 예방하기 위해서는 안전모 · 안전대 착용이 필수적이기 때문이다. 이번 FOCUS에서는 근로자의 안전에 가장 직접적인 영향을 주는 보호구에 대해서 알아본다.

We studied the actual condition of work environment and work morale according to the type of employment of service workers by using the raw data of the Fourth Work Environment Survey (2014) conducted by the Institute of Occupational Safety and Health. In this study, the condition of work environment were composed of work posture, emotional labor, and work autonomy. Also, dimensions related to work morale were composed of competence, job satisfaction, social support, and job stress. In addition, the employment was classified into three types of regular workers, temporary workers, and daily workers. The results showed that temporary and daily workers were more likely to work in a less favorable environment than regular workers, and there was a close correlation between work environment and work morale. Based on this study, it is possible to know about the actual situation and problems of the service workers, and it is hoped that company can search for measures to increase the working environment and work morale of the workers in order to provide better service.

The purpose of this study was conducted to investigate the relationship among working conditions, health status and well-being of door to door deliverers as well as to identify the factors influencing well-being. Study participants of 248 door to door deliverers were collected from the 2014 Korean Working Conditions Survey. Data were analyzed using the SPSS 24.0 statistical program. As a results, the factors influencing well-being of door to door deliverers were musculoskeletal work-related risk, working condition satisfaction, work life balance, and subjective health status and these variables explained 23.9% of well-being. Based on these findings, programs that develop working condition and health status are necessary for door to door deliverers to well-being.

The e-commerce had been expanding in the distribution channels, recently. Then, COVID-19 and social distancing rules led to a surge of online hypermarkets volume. In this study, we examined workplace environments of delivery drivers, firstly. Second, this study was also designed to examine the influencing factors of the perceived working environments change on the job satisfaction, dealing with the recent surge of work. We analyzed 324 data using various ways like descriptive statistics, one-way analysis of variance, factor analysis, and hierarchical regression analysis. The analysis revealed that their job satisfaction was lower than the average score and their working time was too long. In addition, the changes of the workplace environments were divided into labor intensity change and working condition change, which all had a significant effect on job satisfaction. So we should devise some long-term and short-term plans to make the level of job satisfaction among delivery drivers high on workplace environments.

As social distancing is implemented to prevent the spread of COVID-19, there is an increasing number of workers participating in telework. This study aims to classify the feasibility of working at home for occupations and industries based on physical working conditions, and to analyze regional distribution of the teleworkable jobs. And the raw data of the Korea Working Conditions Survey is used to examine working environment and characteristics of jobs. The main findings show that 35% of jobs in South Korea can be done at home, and the occupations that are less amenable to work at home are closely related to the economically vulnerable workers who earn low wages. Furthermore, the regions that are heavily dependent on manufacturing for employment are likely to have a lower share of jobs that can be done at home due to the industrial structure and working conditions.
