The 40-hour work week system has brought positive impact on shortening working hours, eliminating long-time work, increasing leisure-time with family, etc. And this has brought about an increase in leisure-life satisfaction and happiness level. The type of leisure activities has changed from passive activities such as rest to active activities such as sports, tourism. And the 40-hour work week system has positive impact on social activities such as participation in volunteer work and, club activities. Thus all efforts need to be made to establish 40-hour work week system as soon as possible in all workplace. Firstly, 40-hour work week system needs to be introduced to every workplace with less than 5 persons, enlarge 5-day school week system into every primary and secondary school, and create conditions for positive leisure activities. Secondly, labor standards supervision and administration needs to be strengthened to eliminate long-time work over 52 hours per week, below-minimum wage work.

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.

본(本) 연구(硏究)는 우리나라 기업(企業)에 있어 생산량(生産量)의 변화(變化)와 노동비용구조(勞動費用構造)의 변화(變化)가 어떤 조정과정(調整過程)을 거쳐 고용(雇傭) 및 근로시간(勤勞時間)에 영향을 미치는가를 분석(分析)하는 데 그 목적(目的)이 있다. 기업(企業)이 생산요소(生産要素)로서의 노동(勞動)에 대한 수요(需要)를 조정(調整)하는 수단은 크게 고용(雇傭)과 노동시간(勞動時間)으로 나눌 수 있다. 여러 가지 경제(經濟) 사회적(社會的) 요인(要因)으로서의 개별기업(個別企業)의 비용극소화(費用極小化) 전략(戰略)은 사회적(社會的)으로 최적의 고용수준(雇傭水準)을 실현하지 못하고 낮은 고용수준(雇傭水準)과 장시간근로(長時間勤勞)를 초래한다. 노동수요요소(勞動需要要素)(고용(雇傭) 및 근로시간(勤勞時間))간(間)에 대체(代替)가 이루어지는 요인관계(要因關係)를 본고(本稿)에서는 현고용수준(現雇傭水準)과 최적고용수준(最適雇傭水準)과의 과부족이 근로시간(勤勞時間)의 조정을 유발하는 것으로 설정하여 고용수준(雇傭水準)과 근로시간(勤勞時間)에 대한 두 개의 방정식(方程式)을 시계열자료(時系列資料)를 이용하여 추정하였다. 분석결과(分析結果)를 토대로 다음과 같은 정책과제(政策課題)가 제시(提示)된다. 첫째, 기업(企業)이 단기적(短期的) 노동수요조정시(勞動需要調整時) 근로시간(勤勞時間)에 과다하게 의존하는 현상을 일시해고제(一時解雇制)를 도입하여 고용조정(雇傭調整)으로도 분산시켜야 할 것이다. 둘째, 기업(企業)의 노동비용중(勞動費用中) 기본급(基本給)의 비중(比重)을 높여 나갈 수 있도록 유도해야 하며 이를 위해 초과근로(超過勤勞)에 대한 할증임금의 인상도 검토할 만하다.

This study aimed to analyze time allocation for men who work long hours and their wives. Using 2014 time-use survey data (provided by Statistics Korea), we analyzed the amount of time spent in four areas-paid work, housework, leisure, and life essentials-of male workers who work more than 52 hours a week and of their wives. Descriptive statistics and a paired t-test were conducted using SPSS version 18.0. The results were as follows: First, the time allocation of men who worked long hours differed from their wives with the exception of personal maintenance time. Second, the working time of wives who work long hours was longer than their husbands who work long. Third, men who worked long hours did less housework when their wives were employed than when they were not employed. All the results showed gender differences in terms of time allocation. Equal role-sharing between spouses is needed for the work-life balance of both husbands and wives.

This study examined the moonlighting behavior in Korea, to which relatively less attention has been paid. Based on the wage earners of 25 to 65 year old married, the results show that about 1.4% of the sample have dual jobs, working very long hours, on average 60 hours for a week combining both the primary job and the secondary job. The results of the fixed effects logit model on the moonlighting participation indicate that the wage rate and the hours of work in the primary job have a negative effect on moonlighting participation while the insecurity of the primary job appears to lead to a higher probability of taking a secondary job. The results of the moonlighting hours analysis suggest that hours worked in the primary job have a negative effect on moonlight hours while the wage of the primary job does not appear to have any significant effect on moonlighting hours. Interestingly enough, the wage of the secondary job appears to have a negative impact on moonlighting hours, which might be very plausible considering the long working hours moonlighters are engaged in.

Workshift is a method of organization of working time in which workers succeed one another at the workplace. The shift work system enables round-the-clock activities required for meeting technological needs and productive and economic demands. This study tries to find the practical implications by investigating the workshift systems which are successfully applied in two representative Korean companies, Yuhan-Kimberly and POSCO. Case study method is applied in oder to analyze the special feature of shift work systems in two companies. It is concluded that the shift system(2-4system) has positively enhanced firm's capability including workers' satisfaction and commitment, product quality, and productivity. Specifically, the shiftwork system applied in the companies has significantly influenced on the workers' work-life balance.

This study explored the relationship between quitting time and subsequent time allocation of full-time workers with young children. First, as a result of sub-group difference analysis of subsequent time allocation by quitting time, the group who finished their work early used their additional time mostly for housework and care work. And if the workers finish their work late, they decreased their housework and active leisure time first, and then supplementally reduced their care work and passive leisure time. In addition, SUR analysis showed that as the workers finish their work earlier, the proportion of housework, care work and active leisure among five activities was getting higher. Last but not least, it was verified that the relationship between the quitting time and the subsequent time allocation was moderated by gender in housework, care work, and regenerative activity. This research can contribute to the development of debate on work-life balance of workers' by providing the concrete and detailed results.
