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.

In the post-industrial society, concerns about the body have devoted to extend the concept of body from its physical level to the spiritual and corporeal level. Now body is not only an instrument which expresses one's personal character, but also an abstract concept which shows one's identity. Through this tendency, body image as a representation becomes notable as much as physical body itself. This tendency has been exaggerated especially for women and the socio-cultural common notion is forcing them to internalize it by presenting several stereotypes of body image. The concept of body image, a rising academic subject becoming a socio-cultural matter of interest, bears an epistemological base about spirit, body, and individual/social character. As the discussion about body develops in the field of women's studies, deepened discussions about body image are in progress. In this article interaction between the making of stereotypes of the female body in the socio-cultural circumstance and the process of internalization of these stereotypes is analyzed. For the analysis, the hypothesis was established that this interaction constructs the making process of body image. The analyzed materials are images and texts for advertisements, and other materials for public relations which are posted on the homepage of body-line consulting company M. The results of this analysis are to summarize as follows; the stereotypes of the female body image in Korea are very similar to those of westerners, and male gaze plays a big role in the construction of female body image through the internationalization of the gaze by women. According to these results, it is necessary to consider the effort that women should strive to produce and to develop healthy female body images.
