This study was conducted to verify the effects of individual psychological capital, spousal support, and organization's family-friendly work culture on work-life balance in social workers. For this purpose, married social workers working in social welfare facilities in Chungcheongbuk-do were surveyed, and 331 collected responses were used in the analysis. Multiple regression analysis revealed that resilience and optimism in individual psychological capital, spousal support, and expectations on working hours in organizations' family-friendly work culture were significantly associated with the work-life balance. In addition, there were different factors influencing the level of work-life balance according to gender and age. The findings suggest that efforts to enhance awareness and improve working conditions, such as the development of self-care program, education on the necessity of work-life balance, and implementation of work-life balancing system, are needed to improve the work-life balance of social workers.

With the spread of Corona virus l spreading to the uncertainty of society, consumers request more active social responsibility programs. In other words, it is manifest that corporate brands are required to pursue the public interests. Consumers go beyond the corporate social responsibility programs and support corporate's involvement to solve the social problems and they consume the brand accordingly. Thus, the companies respond to the consumers' request as a form of brand activism, or the new social marketing form in which the companies set the brand as an individual and seek the solutions of social issues. In this study, five experienced experts in the area were recruited to conduct in-depth interviews and how brand activism was practiced worldwide. The results reveal that brand activism is actively practiced with the support of consumers in the area of support for the small business, anti-racism efforts, gender diversity and equality, and sustainability.

목적: 현 연구는 6-12주된 첫 아기를 둔 여성 152명을 대상으로 첫 임신기간 동안 참여했던 정규와 비정규 학습활동의 정도와 범위를 알아보기 위해 시행된 것이다. 설계와 방법: 연구를 위한 정보수집을 위해 다측면의 자가선택 연구도구를 사용하였고 4가지 구성개념을 측정하였다: 독립변수로 학습에 대한 성향, 학습을 위한 사회적 지지, 임신에 대한 기대, 그리고 종속변수로서 첫 임신 동안 정규와 비정규 학습활동의 참여정도. 또한 일반적 특성으로는 6가지 변수(연령, 인종, 결혼상태, 교육정도, 직업유무, 가족의 수입)를 측정하였다. 3개의 독립변수와 1개의 종속변수사이의 이변량관계를 측정하기 위해 단순회귀분석을 시행하였다. 일반적 특성과 종속변수와의 관계는 t-Test, Point Biserial, Spearman Correlation Coefficients를 이용해 조사하였고 임신 중 학습을 위한 설명적 모델을 유도하기 위해 다중회귀분석을 사용하였다. 결과: 연구결과 3가지 이변량관계가 모두 통계적으로 유의한 것으로 나타났다: 학습에 대한 성향($r^2$=.17, p=.001), 사회적 지지($r^2$=.27, p=.0001), 그리고 기대($r^2$=.17, p=.0001). 교육정도와 결혼상태는 강한 설명력을 가졌고 연령, 인종, 직업유무와 가족의 수입은 통계적으로 유의하였으나 설명력이 약한 변수들이었다. 임상과의 관계: 이러한 결과는 임신 동안 여성의 학습욕구를 만족시키기를 바라는 성인대상의 교육자들 만큼이나 건강관리제공자들을 위한 실제적인 관련성을 보여주고 있으며 또한 중요한 생활사인 임신 동안 자발적인 학습을 하려는 성인을 이해하기 위한 이론적으로 유용한 모델을 제공한다.

This study explored the emotional and social implications of social media "like" behavior and examined the difference in this behavior across gender. Most studies on social media have analyzed the "like" behavior quantitatively and determined the number of "likes" produced and exchanged. The current study presented a different view by applying a social perspective and analyzing the user intrinsic motives embedded in the "like" behavior. Specifically, we identified empathy and social support as the "like" motivations and used relationship building and information sharing as the mediators. Furthermore, we hypothesized that empathy and social support exhibit different effects on the use of social media across gender: the female group shows strong empathy, and the male group shows strong social support. Validation was performed through a survey of 285 social media users. The results confirmed that empathy and social support have significant effects on the use of social media. However, gender difference in the use of social media was not evident and was only partially evident in the effects of empathy and social support.

This paper aims to examine the effects of perceived social fairness and upward social mobility on the individual emotional depression. Specifically, this study investigates the conditions under which the effects are more or less pronounced for the sake of shedding more light on the relationship between social-cognitive and psychological factors. The key proposition of this study is that as one holds more favorable beliefs about the fairness of the society to which (s)he belong, (s)he would have more optimistic expectations for the possibility of his or her own upward social mobility. Moreover, the decrease of this expectation could exacerbate his or her emotional depression with the expectation that (s)he might not get what (s)he deserves despite his or her time and effort put into achieving such goals. This study also adds further boundary conditions to these effects, such that the decrease of emotional depression is more pronounced when (1)social capital and (2)economic resources are scarce (versus abundant). To test these predictions, this study used the survey data on a total of 8000 people collected by Gallup Korea at the request of the Korea Institute of Public Administration. The analyses provided support for the proposed model of the present study. These results should contribute to laying the theoretical foundation for the establishment of policies and research models on the enhancement of fairness and prevention of depression in the future.

Moreover, college students were found to have relatively high expectations toward social support and marriage intention. Second, male students had a higher traditional tendency for all sub-scales of family values including value of children, value of marriage and gender role attitude compared to female students. In addition, they tended to have higher expectations on social support and marriage intention than female students. Third, a greater intention to marry was seen in male students having more traditional values of children and a higher expectation toward future income. The value of children was found to be the most influential factor on marriage intention of male students in the present study. On the contrary, marriage intention was higher in female students the older they were, the greater the expectation of informal support, the lower the expectation of future income, and the more the traditional attitudes toward marriage. Informal support was found to be the most influential factor on marriage intention of female students in the present study.

This study aims at exploring the transnational care for family members back home among the Nepalese marriage immigrant women in Korea on the bases of some transnational care practices like remittances, virtual intimacy through information and communication technologies, visit to Nepal, and invitation of family members to Korea. This study argues that in order to understand migrant women's care practices properly, Nepalese marriage immigrant women should be considered as 'being in-between' the societies and cultures of Nepal and Korea. This study identifies the characteristics of transnational care practices of Nepalese women are closely related to the role expectation for the eldest daughter as well as whether or not migrant women have children, jobs, and original family member in Korea. Furthermore, this study highlights that migrant women's transnational care practices should be considered as 'reciprocal exchange of cares' between marriage women and their family members rather than one-way benefits going to the latter.
