In this study, the impact of entrepreneurial orientation subfactors on organizational performance in the health and social welfare services industry was examined. Accordingly, responses from 272 organizations in this industry that participated in the corporate section of the 2022 Entrepreneurship Panel Survey conducted by the Korea Entrepreneurship Foundation were used. A regression analysis was performed on the data using the SPSS 25.0 program. According to the analysis, the entrepreneurial orientation subfactors of autonomy, proactiveness, innovativeness, and competitive pursuit had positive impacts on organizational performance. Risk-taking, on the other hand, had no effect on organizational performance. Based on these findings, building an entrepreneurial-oriented organizational culture and strengthening compensation to promote an entrepreneurial orientation are recommended.

I constructed the 2003 Korean 'social accounting matrix'(SAM) to analyze the multipliers of total demand for each economic activity. I find that the relative magnitude of the influence of the welfare policy to the national economy measured by input-output production multipliers tends to be underestimated compared to SAM multipliers. This is because the total demand multipliers of SAM include the private sector effects, which is not considered in the input-output model. The result also support that income inflows in public service areas including education, health and social work, generate gains in the relative income of households.

The Honam region has been recognized as one of the most lagging regions in Korea. Drawing upon some decompositions oi Gross Regional Domestic Product(GRDP) per head and labor productivity, the overall trend of inequalities in Korea has been revealed and the trajectory of the Honam region's economic change has been identified by examining how the region's economic performance changed relative to that of Korea in the 1990s. There are some findings. First of all, Korea is characterized by strong divergence in the development of its region economies, in terms o\ulcorner per capita GRDP, which relies upon productivity differentials rather than differences in employment rates. Second, the Honam region has displayed poor economic performances in terms of GRDP per head except for Jeonnam. Third, the dramatic fall in cumulative population growth relative to the national average has been an important factor in the Jeonnam's overwhelming economic performance measured by per capita GRDP. Fourth, the decline in the relative productivity of the Honam region is mostly explained by falling relative regional productivity growth in construction, transport and manufacturing, although it should be noted that the latter sector has made positive contribution to raising relative regional productivity of Jeonnam. Fifth, overall the shift in employment to service sector, especially to social, personal, public, health, education, other services other than distribution, hotels, catering has tended to support relative regional productivities, along with the positive contribution being made oi agriculture, forestry and fishing to relative regional productivity growth in the Honam region.

산업현장이 하루가 다르게 급변하면서 산업안전보건 분야 역시 빠른 변화를 거듭하고 있다. 특히 산업보건의 경우 최근 사회 전반적으로 건강과 복지가 주목을 받으면서, 급격히 발전하는 모습을 보이고 있다. 근로자 건강관리에 대한 개념도 기존의 '질병예방'이라는 소극적 틀을 벗어나 '건강증진'이라는 능동적이고 적극적 형태로 나아가고 있고, 제조업을 탈피해 건설업, 서비스업 등 다양한 산업분야로 보건관리 영역이 넓혀져야 한다는 목소리가 커지고 있다. 이처럼 산업안전보건 분야가 끊임없는 발전을 지속하는 배경에는 한국산업간호협회가 있다. 1994년 설립 이래 협회는 보건관리자인 산업간호사가 일선 현장에서 원활하게 업무에 임할 수 있도록 다양한 지원을 하는 한편 이들의 권익 신장을 위해 앞장서왔다. 또한 근로자들의 건강보호 증진을 위한 다양한 사업을 전개하는 등 산업보건의 중심축 역할을 수행해왔다. 우리나라 산업보건의 근간인 한국산업간호협회의 김희걸 회장을 만나 그동안의 활동 성과와 향후 계획 등에 대해 이야기를 나누어봤다.

석탄산업은 서민생활보호와 에너지 안보 등 국가정책 목표달성을 위하여 매우 중요한 역할을 하고 있다. 또한 태백지역의 경우에는 석탄산업의 존립이 지역사회의 생존과 직결되고 있어서 이의 활성화가 매우 긴요하다. 그러나 석탄산업은 작업환경이 나쁘고 임금수준 등의 제반 여건이 좋지 않고, 사양산업이라는 인식이 만연되어 있는 관계로 근로자들의 이직율이 높고 신규인력의 유입율도 낮아서 탄광의 운영에 커다란 애로요인으로 등장하고 있다. 본 연구는 이러한 상황에 직면해 있는 태백지역 탄광업체의 인력난을 해결해 보기 위하여 탄광근로자들을 대상으로 설문지를 배포하고 이를 분석하여 그 해결책을 모색해 보고자 했다. 이를 위해서 경로분석과 이원분산분석을 통해서 이직요인을 발견하고 이를 위한 다각적인 대응방안을 구상해 보았다. 연구결과 태백지역 인력난을 완화시키고 노동인력의 정착성을 제고시키기 위해서는 1) 기업내적(企業內的)인 방안(方案)으로 근로생활의 보람(quality of working life) 조성, 기업문화의 조성, 임금제도의 개선과 생산성 향상, 후생복지시설의 개선, 내부적 제도의 개선과 회사운영의 공개, 대외적 홍보, 2) 정부(政府)의 지원방안(支援方案)과 논의사항(論議事項)으로 석탄산업에 대한 재정적 지원, 소비성 서비스업에 대한 노동력 유출억제, 교육여건의 개선 그리고 해외광원수입에 관한 문제는 장애요인이 많으므로 가능한 신중한 검토가 수반되어야 한다는 것 등을 고려할 수 있을 것으로 사료된다.

The major purpose of this study was to offer a comprehensive analysis of the changing trends and causes of poverty among urban wage earners' households from 1995 to 2005. In order to do that, this study used the micro data of "Income and Expenditure Survey of Urban Households" by the National Statistical Office(NSO) and GEE(Generalized estimating equation) regression model which is know as an appropriate method for the longitudinal and clustering data. The results show that (1) the numbers of poverty rate and poverty gap in recent years are even getting seriously worse than those in the IMF crisis. (2) Main characteristics of poor are female headed, old aged, low educated households, and having atypical working position. (3) Major determinants of poverty are also related to the variables as mentioned the above. (4) However, poverty reduction effect of public transfer increased preferably in recent years.

Until recently, self-employment workers are often excluded from labor market studies. Most relevant studies has focused on the determinants of entry into self-employment. However, the self-employment is highly exposed to poverty risk although they are working. Despite that, relatively little is known about the economic severity of the self-employed. This study uses data from the Korea Welfare Panel Study to examine the situation of the self-employed's in-work poverty and the determinants of in-work poverty among them. Major findings are as follows. First, self-employed people experience 3.5 times higher in-work poverty risk than employees. Especially, the ratio of own-account self-employed people living below the poverty line is similar with that of even precarious employees. Second, the extent of poverty of self-employment is more serious. Third, the proportion of self-employed among working poor is about 53% although self-employed workers are composed of only about 24% among working people. Fourth, temporary employees and self-employed people are more likely to be poor than full time employees according to logistic regression. It is statistically significant. It implies that it is desirable to regard the self-employed as the policy target group along with temporary employees. Fifth, the ratio of in-work poverty of self-employed aged 40-64 whose education level is low and the self-employed aged 40-64 who work in low-skilled service sector are higher than that of the other group. It implies that measures to alleviate their economic difficulties are urgently needed.

In the era of the 4th industrial revolution, the importance of the 4th industrial revolution technology is increasing in the service industry. The purpose of this study is to identify the development and utilization status of the 4th industrial revolution technology in the service industry and to derive the characteristics and implications of the 4th industrial revolution technology innovation in the service industry. In this study, research and analysis were conducted based on the business activity survey data in order to identify the technological innovation characteristics of the 4th industrial revolution in the service industry. The 4th industrial revolution technology in the service industry was analyzed in terms of company ratio, technology development and utilization rate, development/utilization technology, technology application field, and technology development method. In addition, the trend of the 4th industrial revolution technology change in the service industry was also analyzed. The 4th industrial revolution technology utilization and development status of other industries was compared and analyzed. In particular, the service industry 4th industrial revolution technology innovation type was divided into 4 types from the perspective of the 4th industrial revolution company ratio and the 4th industrial revolution company ratio growth rate, and types for each service industry were derived. The characteristics and implications of the 4th industrial revolution technology innovation in the service industry were presented from nine perspectives. As a result of the study, it was found that companies in the service industry were developing or using 4th industrial revolution technologies more actively than companies in other industries, and it was analyzed that the gap was further widening. By service industry, information and communication, finance and insurance, and educational service showed relatively high rates of developing or utilizing 4th industrial revolution technologies. The service industries in which the share of 4th industrial revolution companies increased the most were real estate, education service, health and social welfare service. In particular, cloud, big data, and artificial intelligence were analyzed as the three core technologies of the fourth industrial revolution. The service industry can be classified into 4 types in terms of the 4th industrial revolution company ratio and growth rate, and service industry innovation measures that reflect the differentiated innovation characteristics of each type are needed.

The purpose of this study is to explore and describe of the reality of working poor in Korea. In spite of the increasing attention to the working poor, usual definitions of the working poor have some measurement questions. The definition of the working poor should focus on the key dimensions of work and poverty. This study defines working poor as all "persons who have devoted prior 6 months to working or looking for work and who lived in families with incomes below the poverty threshold". This study also defines poverty threshold based on the both concept of absolute and relative poverty. According to this definition, the working poor are almost equally divided between men and women and the majority of them are of prime working age. These characteristics of working poor are seems to be quite different from common sense. Also, serious deficiencies of human capital contribute to the employment problems of the working poor. Their education levels are much less than those of the working non-poor. The distributions of the employment status, occupation, and industry show also that the working poor are highly concentrated in a few low-wage jobs.
