This study analyzes the effect of labor unions in Korean manufacturing industry on wage variance of men from 1988 to 2012. The results are as follows. Firstly, the wage variance within establishments is higher than that between establishments, and the wage variance between establishments in the non-union sector has increased significantly compared to that in the union sector since 2000. There is strong evidence that the latter is due to the solidarity wage policy of unions which has strengthened since the early 2000s. Secondly, the influence of labor unions on the wage structure within the union sector has gotten stronger recently despite the general drop in the labor union membership. Thirdly, since the mid-1990s labor unions have contributed to reducing the overall wage variance. It implies that decline in the unionization rate over the years in Korea is likely to have contributed to increasing wage inequality.

성과급제도(成果給制度)란 개인(個人) 혹은 집단(集團)의 경제적(經濟的) 성과지표(成果指標)를 임금보상(賃金報償)의 추가적인 근거로 사용하는 제도(制度)를 말한다. 본고(本稿)에서는 성과급제도(成果給制度)의 한 종류인 이윤공유제도(利潤共有制度)의 경제적(經濟的) 의미(意味)를 검토하였다. 이윤공유제도(利潤共有制度)는 기업입장(企業立場)에서 보면 이윤(利潤)에 대해 일정률의 조세(租稅)를 납부한 후, 근로자(勤勞者)를 고용(雇傭)할 때마다 일정액의 보조금(補助金)을 받는 제도이다. 한편 근로자(勤勞者)의 입장에서 보면 최초에 고정급(固定給)을 낮게 유지해서 얻은 경영성과(經營成果)의 일부를 다른 근로자(勤勞者)들과 골고루 나누어 가지는 제도이다. 이런 본질적인 특성은 경제(經濟)에 긍정적인 효과와 부정적인 효과를 동시에 미친다. 우선 긍정적인 측면으로는 기업입장에서 노동(勞動)의 한계효용(限界效用)이 상대적으로 저렴해지므로 경제(經濟)의 물가수준(物價水準)은 하락하고 생산량(生産量)은 증가하게 된다. 그러나 이에 따르는 문제점도 과소평가할 수만은 없다. 우선 저렴한 한계노동비용(限界勞動費用) 때문에 이윤공유경제(利潤共有經濟)에서는 본질적으로 초과고용경향(超過雇傭傾向)이 내재하여 있으며, 또한 어느 한 개인의 노력에 의한 성과(成果)의 향상(向上)이 모두에게 분배되어 희석되므로 원래 의도되었던 동기유발효과(動機誘發效果)가 위축될 가능성이 있다. 또한 임금소득(賃金所得)이 변동(變動)하므로 위험기피적(危險忌避的)인 근로자(勤勞者)의 효용(效用)이 위협을 받게 된다. 이런 여러 문제점을 극복하고 성과급(成果給)의 원래 긍정적인 측면을 실현시키기 위해서는 근로자(勤勞者)의 경영참가(經營參加)가 보장되고, 이윤공유제(利潤共有制)의 채택에 대해 세제상(稅制上)의 유인(誘引)이 뒷받침되어야 하며, 정부(政府)의 경제안정화정책(經濟安定化政策)이 더욱 주의깊게 추구되어야 한다.

This study compares the return to seniority and experience among different groups of workers. Skilled workers in large company appear to enjoy the biggest seniority premium, while non-regular workers and small company workers hardly have any. Trade union did not have significant effect. Return to experience increased especially in large firms. Nonparametric model specification test shows that the biases for returns to seniority and experience of 30 years to be between -25~29%, and -42%~6%, respectively.

본(本) 연구(硏究)의 목적(目的)은 우리나라에 장시간근로가 행해지고 있는 데 원인을 규명함에 있다. 이를 위하여 초과근로시간(超過勤勞時間)과 신규고용간(新規雇傭間)의 상대적(相對的) 노동비용(勞動費用)을 비교 분석하였으며 분석방법으로는 이론모형(理論模型)의 활용(活用) 대신에 수식(數式)을 이용하여 비용을 직접 계측(計測)하였다. 분석을 위하여 근로자(勤勞者)는 소득을 증대시키기 위하여 기업의 초과근로시간을 받아들이는 것으로 가정되었다. 통계자료는 노동부의 각종 공식 발표통계와 기업별(企業別) "서베이" 자료를 사용하였다. 분석결과에 따르면 우리나라 전체로 볼 때 초과근로시간(超過勤勞時間)에 따른 노동비용(勞動費用)이 신규고용(新規雇傭)의 경우에 따른 비용의 72%에 달하였다. 초과근로시간으로 인한 노동비용(勞動費用)이 상대적으로 낮은 주된 이유는 기업(企業)의 임금체계상(賃金體系上) 정규임금(正規賃金)의 비중(比重)이 낮고 비임금노동비용(非賃金勞動費用)이 높은 데 있었다. 한편 산업별(産業別)로는 섬유(纖維) 의류(衣類) 신발 등 비교적 노동집약적(勞動集約的)이며 저임금부문(低賃金部門)이 집중되어 있는 산업에서 신규고용(新規雇傭)에 대한 초과근로시간의 상대적(相對的) 노동비용(勞動費用) 비율(比率)이 낮게 나타났으며 기업별(企業別)로는 규모가 클수록 이 비율이 낮게 나타났다. 이러한 결과에 의하면 기업의 임금체계를 점차 기본급(基本給) 위주로 바꾸어 나가고 실업보험제(失業保險制)를 도입하여 기업으로 하여금 근로시간(勤勞時間)보다는 고용수준(雇傭水準)을 경기변동에 맞추어 조절하도록 도와주는 것이 바람직하다.

We examine the effects of the self-reported subjective and the objective health indexes on work compensations. The compensations consist of monetary factors, such as wages, and non-monetary factors reflecting job risks such as the workplace accidence. The wages and workplace injuries are clearly affected by gender and age differences as the subjective and objective health factors of elderly workers are combined with physical and systematic work environments. Mental health problems such as work depression are more serious especially for high income elderly groups. The elderly workers experienced with physical problems and chronic illnesses are led to the decrease in wages and the increase in safety accident risks at work sharply. Therefore, we need to provide supporting services, retirement planning designed by companies, supported by the government enhanced risk working conditions and the weakness on protecting jobs.

This study stemmed from the notion that effects of wage peak system were investigated exclusively on management efficiency from the perspective of workplace. As a way to overcome the limitation of previous studies, This study examined the effects of wage peak system on age integration of senior workers. Quantitative analyses with data from workplace panel survey were executed. Results revealed that percent of workers aged 50 and over was significantly higher in work places that implemented wag peak system than that of those did not. Also Average year of employment for full time workers was higher in work places that implemented wag peak system than that of those did not, suggesting that wage peak system was related to labor market integration of aged workers in some ways.

This study was conducted to investigate the relation between working conditions and occupational injuries among Korean employees. This study was based on the 4th Korean Working Conditions Survey(KWCS) and a total of 36,292 data were analyzed. Multivariate logistic regression was used to investigate the relation of working conditions and occupational injuries after controlling for individual variables. After control of personal factors, perception of the threat to health or safety(OR=3.77, 95% CI=2.934-4.844), 49-59 working hours(OR=1.63, 95% CI=1.023-2.601), 60 hours or more per week(OR=2.66, 95% CI=1.683-4.197), and manual occupation type(OR=1.76, 95% CI=1.218-2.536) were associated with occupational injuries. Our results indicate that working conditions influence occupational injuries, and the focus should be on prevention and management strategies for occupational injuries to vulnerable workers.

It is about the study of life satisfaction with type of employment(entrepreneur/paid employee), social factor(social capital), and psychological factor(self efficacy) in Seoul. The empirical results using Seoul Welfare Panel showed that psychological factor was the most powerful, and economic (household income levels) and social factor were in order. Type of employment was also significantly affected on life satisfaction, and paid employee's life satisfaction was higher than entrepreneur's one. In case of paid employee, psychological(self-efficacy) and social(norms, informal networks of participation, non-profit trust) factor in addition to the economic factor were significantly. In case of entrepreneur, economic and psychological factor and only norm among social factors were significant. Finally, The implications for politicians and local public officials were reported.

The current study examined the relationship between satisfaction with pay and performance. The purpose of this study is not only to analyse the effect of pay satisfaction on job satisfaction and turnover intention, but to verify the moderating effect of LMX in order to provide a useful theoretical and managerial implication. The empirical results reveal that satisfaction of pay positively affects job satisfaction, but has a negative impact on turnover intention. It is also found a moderation effect of LMX between pay satisfaction and performance. The empirical results imply that an effective compensation management should be applied and an enhanced LMX effort has to be made to motivate employee.
