A term 'Wolabal' which is an abbreviation of the words, in South Korea means the balance between work and life. The term reflects on people's thoughts to seek for their happiness these days. In fact, they think that the quality of the life is more valuable than any other things on their lives, reflecting on the issues caused by modern societies. 'Wolabal' has emerged as an alternatives to solve the social issues like economic recession, high unemployment rate, aging society, low birth rate and etc. However, in order to establish 'Wolabal' as a culture the comprehensive agreement between an individual and society should be considered first. In society, the system or policies to forster cultural business should be settled while in individual, it is necessary to change the way they think about their work and the qualities of their lives. From this view we have to focus on the relationship between their work and leisure. On the relationship between their work and leisure we should understand that the relationship is not conflicted but co-exists and understanding the real meaning of the relationship is critical in balancing between work and life. The recognition to the labor which has been from the past would give not only the meaning of individual survival but the one of their whole lives. Despite this, modern society has faded away the real meaning of labor because it has focused on the mass manufacturing and sometimes the long-termed economic sluggish has emerged. This trend has made people think about their lives and seek for their lives' real value.

This study aims to analyze the effects of work-life balance on organizational commitment and turnover intention, and the effects of organizational commitment on turnover intention, focusing on Generation MZ librarians in public libraries. A survey of 183 librarians born between 1980 and 2005, who work at public libraries in the Seoul Metropolitan Area, examined the subfactors of work-life balance such as work-family balance, work-leisure balance, work-growth balance, organizational commitment, and turnover intention. Multiple regression analysis revealed that work-family and work-growth balances had a significant positive effect on organizational commitment and a significant negative effect on turnover intention. Moreover, organizational commitment had a significant negative effect on turnover intention. Accordingly, this study suggests the need to implement a reward policy for night and weekend work and to strengthen work-family balance and work-growth balance at public libraries. Moreover, it suggests horizontal communication and strengthening autonomy to promote organizational commitment.

최근 개인의 일과 생활이 조화롭게 균형을 유지하고 있는 상태를 나타내는 워라밸(Work and Life Balance)에 대한 사회적 관심이 커지고 있다. 즉, 과거에는 직장에서의 성과 창출을 통한 지위 향상에 관심을 가졌지만, 현재에는 직장과 개인적인 생활의 균형을 중요하게 생각하는 경향이 강해지고 있다. 이러한 사회 현상과 맞물려 많은 지방자치단체를 비롯한 공공기관은 물론 규모가 큰 민관기관에서도 삶의 질과 관련된 구성원들의 만족도 조사를 실시하고 있다. 지방자치단체의 다양한 지표를 나타내는 지방지표 중에 삶의 만족도 지표도 포함되어 있다. 본 연구는 지방자치단체 통합데이터베이스 및 e지방지표를 이용하여 지방자치단체에 속한 구성원들의 삶의 만족도에 영향을 미치는 지표를 분석하고자 한다.

This study quantitatively analyzed the effects of self-efficacy in the workplace on job-stress and work-life balance (WLB) using a structural equation model (SEM) to seek ways to increase the WLB. Because the current government promotes the 52-hour weekly policy, WLB that refers to the balance between work and life that is used throughout society. In addition, self-efficacy, which was used mainly in the home and education system, has expanded its scope of application, and efforts to increase it in the workplace are working as demand for the times. The observation variables to be included in the SEM were collected from a questionnaire of 5,454 adults, and AMOS 21 was used for statistical analysis. As a result of the analysis, self-efficacy in the workplace has a negative correlation with stress, and a higher self-efficacy means a higher WLB. The results of this study did not show that the more workers are passionate about their work in the workplace due to work-oriented thinking and behavior rather than home had a lower WLB. In addition, these results can be used to analyze the WLB policy in the ROK Army.

The marathon has long been established as a representative lifestyle for all ages. With the recent expansion of the Work and Life Balance trend across the society, marathon with a relatively low barrier to entry is gaining popularity among young people in their 20s and 30s. By analyzing the issues and related words of the marathon event, we will analyze the spottainment elements of the marathon event that is popular among young people through keywords, and suggest a development plan for the differentiated event. In order to analyze keywords and related words, blogs, cafes and news provided by Naver and Daum were selected as analysis channels, and 'JTBC Marathon' and 'Culture' were extracted as key words for data search. The data analysis period was limited to a three-month period from August 13, 2019 to November 13, 2019, when the application for participation in the 2019 JTBC Marathon was started. For data collection and analysis, frequency and matrix data were extracted through social matrix program Textom. In addition, the degree of the relationship was quantified by analyzing the connection structure and the centrality of the degree of connection between the words. Although the marathon is a personal movement, young people share a common denominator of "running" and form a new cultural group called "running crew" with other young people. Through this, it was found that a marathon competition culture was formed as a festival venue where people could train together, participate together, and escape from the image of a marathon run alone and fight with themselves.
