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.

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.

2016년 7월~2018년 2월까지 해운회사의 상선에서 위탁실습을 다녀온 4학년 학생을 대상으로 위탁실습생의 근로실태 및 실습만족도에 대하여 설문조사를 실시하였다. 평균 근로시간은 10시간, 최소 휴식시간은 4시간 미만이 가장 많은 것으로 조사되었다. 실습 만족도에 대하여 만족 또는 보통 수준을 보였으며, 벌크선과 컨테이너선에서 실습한 학생들의 만족도가 다소 낮게 나왔다. 라면 끓이기, 휴식 중 작업, 야식 준비 등 실습 목적 외 부당한 지시를 받는 사례가 다수 있었다. 실습생은 선원법 상 선원이 아닌 자로 분류되어 있다. 이로 인해 근로시간 또는 휴식시간 등에 대해 보호를 받지 못하고 있는 것이 현실이다. 또한 일부 해운회사에서는 실습교육을 가장한 실질적 근로(노동) 인력으로 활용하고 있는 사례가 있어 이에 대한 대책 마련이 시급하다.

This study is aimed at developing an index and indicator in the light of social factors by analyzing the basic materials on Korean working conditions survey to make it possible to grasp various working environment factors consequent on business type and to judge the industrial safety & health policy of the related area. For the purpose of developing an index, this study was conducted by benchmarking the OECD-suggested index development guidelines and overseas cases of index development. This study suggested indexes related to health by benchmarking OECD's press-state-response model. The press-state health-related indexes specified in Korean working condtions survey were found to consist of physical risk environment, working hours, business environment, and social environment, and its consequent 'state' items were comprised of mental health, physical health, absence from work due to health problems and work satisfaction as health-related items. As a result, it was found that the 'press-state index' for wage worker, regular employee, manager, clerks, expert & related personnel involved, and workers aged under 50 was relatively good; in contrast, the 'press-state index' for people aged over 50, owner-operator, daily job, skilled position in agriculture & fisheries, simple labor service, and apparatus & machines assembly worker was found to be relatively vulnerable.

본 연구는 근골격계질환의 예방을 위해 전북권 지역에 해당하는 근로자들을 대상으로 설문조사를 하여 업종별 근골격계질환의 실태를 파악하고 이를 분석하였다. 조사분석 결과, 업종에 따른 근로자들의 신체 부위별 통증 호소 부위와 정도, 신체 부위별 통증 부위수, 각 신체 부위별 부적절한 작업 자세 등의 실태를 파악 할 수 있었다. 이를 통하여 근골격계질환에 대한 근로자들의 인식 개선과 근골격계질환의 유해요인을 감소시킬 수 있는 환경변화의 제도적 장치가 필요하며, 이를 인간공학적 시스템으로 재설계되어 예방 관리의 기틀을 마련해나가야 한다.

This is a descriptive correlation study to identify health status and affecting factors related to job among Korean women employees. Data were obtained from women employees aged 20 to 64 using the Korean Working Conditions Survey 2006(KWCS). Stepwise multiple regression analysis using SAS version 9.1 was performed to identify affecting factors on physical and psychological health status related to job among Korean women employees. Musculoskeletal work-load was the most significant factor affecting on both physical and psychological health status. Modification of work environment to relieve musculoskeletal work-load, systemic health management and health education needs to be given to women employees who were exposed to high musculoskeletal work-load.
