Purpose: The aim of this study was to identify the job insecurity, job satisfaction, and organizational commitment of non-regular visiting nurses working at public health centers, and evaluate the effects of job insecurity on the job satisfaction and organizational commitment. Methods: This study was a descriptive survey study. One hundred forty-three visiting nurses, who were non-regular hired by 16 public health centers in B city, were selected using a convenient sampling method. Results: The results were analyzed using SPSS/Win 21.0. A feeling of helplessness (among job insecurity factors) and retention intention significantly affected the job satisfaction of non-regular visiting nurses, and their explanation power was 20%. Retention intention, a feeling of helplessness, and age significantly influenced the organizational commitment, and their explanation power was 26%. Conclusion: Therefore, it would be necessary to stabilize the employment type, provide appropriate promotion and compensation for nurses according to their work performance, and reduce the number of non-regular employees to increase the job satisfaction and organizational commitment of non-regular visiting nurses.

This article addresses potential barriers to sustained employment for rural low-income mothers. Drawing from a two panel longitudinal sample of 240 families from the Rural Families Speak project, it examines the extent to which human capital and family factors were related to these mothers' ability to be employed. Comparisons are made between mothers, who over a three-year period, were continuously unemployed, intermittently employed, or stably employed. Many of these rural low-income mothers faced multiple individual and family barriers that impacted their labor force participation. Notably food insecurity, mental health, caring for a young child, housing, and a family history of welfare were associated with less stable employment. The implications for public policy and service delivery are discussed.

Purpose: Occupational stress is a determinant risk factor for cardiovascular disease and work disability. This study aims to describe occupational stress and identify its related factors among aged security guards. Methods: A random sample of 76 aged security guards were interviewed by three research assistants. The criteria of the subjects were as follows : 50 or older male with 40 or more working hours a week working with colleagues ranged from 3 to 50. The data were collected in September, 2007 and analyzed by multiple regression using SAS Version 9.1. Results: The mean score of occupational stress among aged security guards was 47.2. The mean scores of its sub-scales were 31.3(physical environment), 33.8(occupational demand), 80.8occupational control), 44.6(interpersonal conflict), 51.3 (occupational insecurity), 53.6(occupational system), 57.5(lack of reward), and 30.3(work environment). The scores of occupational control, interpersonal conflict, and occupational insecurity were higher than the scores of Korean average occupational stress sub-scales. Significant variables affecting occupational stress and its sub-scales were work place, work type, and employment type. Conclusion: In order to reduce occupational stress among security guards, sufficient occupational control and interpersonal conflict control, appropriate reward, and employment stability should be considered. Also long working hours and work shift should be improved.

Purpose: Food insecurity, which is the inability to obtain food or inadequate food consumption in terms of quality and quantity, has physical and psychological consequences on children's health. This study aimed to investigate the relationship between children's growth disorders and food insecurity in Qazvin city, Iran. Methods: A case-control study was conducted on 177 cases and 355 controls of children aged 3 to 6 years, who were referred to health centers in Qazvin city. The case group consisted of children with growth disorders. Data were obtained with the 18-item US Department of Agriculture questionnaire, a household socioeconomic questionnaire, a and growth monitoring card. The data were analyzed with using IBM SPSS Version 22.0, by independent sample t-test, chi-square test, and logistic regression. Results: A significant relationship was found between children's growth disorders and household food insecurity with (p<0.05, odds ratio [OR]=17.0, confidence interval [CI]=5.9, 48.8) and without hunger (p<0.05, OR=2.69, CI=1.4, 4.9). There were also significant relationships between children's growth disorders and socioeconomic status (p<0.05, OR=3.4, CI=1.4, 8.5), the duration of breastfeeding (p<0.05, OR=0.94, CI=0.9, 0.98), and children's ages (p<0.05, OR=0.94, CI=0.92, 0.96). Sex and birth order, and the age of the parents was not found to be significantly related with growth disorders. Conclusion: Lower socioeconomic status and household food insecurity were the important predictors of children's growth disorders. Policymakers should focus more on promoting steady employment and income among family members. Nutritional education for mothers is also recommended, in order to better meet the nutritional needs of the children.

Purpose - This paper discusses an impact of status on organization's temporary employment. Status not only offers various opportunities for organization but also places constrains on organization. In this perspective, we propose that organization's temporary employment will differ depending on the status. Design/methodology/approach - We predict that organization's evaluated status has a U-shaped relationship with temporary employment because organizational social insecurity varies by the status. Moreover, we predict that organization's categorical status has a positive effect on temporary employment since organizational legitimacy varies with the status and that the effect will be enhanced by an organizational niche. To verify these predictions, we examined a regression analysis using panel data of temporary employment in Korean universities. Findings - The results of regression analysis show that there is a U-shaped relationship between universities' evaluated status and temporary employment. This implies that the middle status university is likely to minimize temporary employment because of conformity pressures. In addition, the results show that university's categorical status has a positive effect on temporary employment and the effect is enhanced by university's market concentration. This suggests that the categorical status has a strong impact on specialist university. Research implications or Originality - This paper contributes the development of temporary employment theory by applying duality of organizational status and identifies the organizational determinants of temporary employment in Korean universities.

본 연구는 고용불안이 종업원의 노조태도와 노사관계관련행동에 미치는 영향력과 노조몰입의 매개효과를 검증하기 위하여 부산, 울산, 경남, 포항지역의 제조업 및 서비스업의 노동조합에 소속된 조합원 236명을 대상으로 진행되었다. 문헌연구를 통해 연구를 설계하였고, 선행연구를 바탕으로 고용불안이 노조몰입과 노조참가행동 그리고 투쟁행동에 미치는 영향을 분석하였다. 분석결과 고용불안은 노조몰입과 노조참가행동과 투쟁행동의 선행요인임을 밝힐 수 있었고, 종업원의 노조몰입은 고용불안이 종업원의 노사관계행동에 미치는 영향에 대한 매개효과를 갖는 것으로 실증분석결과 확인되었다. 그리고 추가적으로 실시한 고용불안과 이중몰입의 관계는 유의하지 않은 것으로 나타났는데, 이는 고용불안이 노조몰입은 높이고 회사몰입은 낮춘 결과로 해석할 수 있다. 이러한 연구결과를 토대로 경영자는 종업원의 고용불안을 줄여야 한다는 시사점과 노조몰입에 대한 관리를 통해 종업원의 노사관계행동을 감소시키는 노력을 해야 한다는 관리적 시사점을 제공할 수 있었다. 본 연구는 연구표본의 한계와 설문지법을 통한 실증분석이 가질 수 있는 한계점이 있음을 인정하며, 향후 연구에서는 다양한 샘플을 통한 일반화의 노력과 다양한 방법론을 통한 보다 엄밀한 분석을 할 필요가 있음을 제시하였다.

This study examines the effects of several factors indicating economic openness-imported intermediate goods, total imports, IFDI (inward foreign direct investment), and foreign ownership-on regular, irregular jobs and the ratio of irregular employment to regular employment. Findings revealed that imported intermediate inputs and IFDI affected neither regular nor irregular job figures. However, an increase in total imports led to a decrease in the number of irregular jobs without affecting regular full time jobs, leading to a decrease in the ratio of irregular jobs to regular jobs. On the other hand, changes in foreign ownership structure had a contrary effect, that is, a decrease in the number of regular jobs and an increase in irregular ones, and, thus, an increase in the ratio of irregular jobs to regular jobs. Overall results showed that a rise in imports results in depressed overall employment, irregular employment in particular, while more IFDI results in more irregular jobs replacing regular ones, effectively exacerbating job insecurity. The implication of this analysis is that greater economic openness may have a negative impact on the South Korean labor market overall.

Introduction: There is a growing global interest in the issue of precarious employment. We aimed to analyze the characteristics and socio-demographic distribution of precarious employment using a summative score approach. Methods: To operationalize precarious employment, we utilized data from the Korean Working Conditions Survey and focused on three distinct dimensions: employment insecurity, income inadequacy, and a lack of rights and protections. By constructing a summative scale ranging from -16 to 2, with lower scores indicating higher precariousness, we measured employment precariousness among Korean wage workers. To compare employment precariousness according to survey participant characteristics, we employed the Wilcoxon Rank Sum Test. Results: We analyzed a weighted number of 38,432 workers. The overall sample showed a median (Q1, Q3) summative scale score of -3 (-6, -1). The median summative score was lower for women compared to men (men: -2; women: -5; p < 0.001), as well as for young or older workers compared to middle-aged workers (young: -4; middle-aged: -2; older: -5; p < 0.001). Similarly, workers with lower educational levels (middle school or below: -8; high school: -5; college or above: -2; p < 0.001) and non-white collar workers (blue collar: -5; service/sales worker: -6; white collar: -2; p < 0.001) experienced higher levels of employment precariousness. Conclusion: Our findings indicate that certain vulnerable groups, such as women, young or older adults, workers with low educational attainment, and caregiving or low-skilled elementary workers, are disproportionately exposed to high employment precariousness. Active policy interventions are needed to improve the employment quality of vulnerable groups.

본 연구는 대다수가 원-하청 구조 하의 간접고용 되어 있는 청소노동자의 고용구조와 노동형태, 그리고 사회보장제도 경험에 대한 질적 사례연구를 실시하였다. 이를 위해, 하청 여성 청소노동자의 노동시장에서의 불안정성을 구체적으로 살펴보고 이러한 특징이 어떻게 사회안전망에서의 배제와 연결되어 있는지 분석하였다. 분석결과, 하청업체에 고용되어 있는 중고령 여성 청소노동자들은 높은 고용 불안정성과 장시간의 높은 강도의 노동을 하고 있으면서도, 중고령 여성이기 때문에 사회보장제도에 충분히 포괄되거나 보호받지 못하고 있었다. 이러한 청소 노동자들에 대한 한국의 사회안전망은 다음과 같은 허구성을 가진 것으로 드러났다. 첫째, 여성 청소노동자들은 청소노동 종사 이전에는 비공식적 노동시장에서 일하는 등 국민연금에 최소한의 금액만 납부하였거나 최소 가입기간을 채우지 못한 경우가 많았다. 따라서 기초연금 및 국민연금을 포함한 공적 연금제도에 의한 노후소득보장 수준이 매우 열악하였다. 둘째, 한국 퇴직급여 제도가 퇴직연금체계로 전환되는 흐름 속에서, 원-하청업체 간의 계약 해지에 따라 업체변경이 빈번한 하청 청소노동자들은 안정적인 기금 형성이 어려워 퇴직연금체제가 노후소득보장제도로서 실효성을 갖는 데 한계가 있었다. 셋째, 고용보험의 경우 현행 실업급여제도는 가입자격 관련 연령기준으로 인해 수급자격이 박탈되는 경우가 많았으며, 직업훈련과 구직활동 서비스 또한 대개 활용하지 않는 것으로 나타났다. 넷째, 중고령의 청소노동자들은 반복적인 육체노동에 따른 근골격계 질환에 많이 노출되어 있는 것으로 나타났는데, 그럼에도 불구하고 노화와 산재간 판정의 어려움, 그리고 원-하청의 고용구조로 인해 산재보험의 혜택을 받는 경우는 드물었다. 결론적으로, 하청 청소노동시장에서 중고령 여성 청소노동자의 일에 대한 불안정성은 상당히 높은데도 불구하고, 한국의 사회보장제도는 이들이 노동자로써 뿐만 아니라 최소한의 인간다운 삶을 유지하게 하는 데 많은 한계를 보이고 있다고 분석되었다.

Purpose: To identify factors that affect the job stress of visiting nurses at health centers in Seoul, Korea, who perform home care services. Methods: Data were collected in the period from November 20 to December 10, 2008, from 206 visiting nurses working at 25 health centers in Seoul metropolitan city. Self-report questionnaires of the Organization-Based Self-Esteem (OBSE) and the Korean Occupational Stress Scale (KOSS) were used. Data were analyzed by the SPSS win 15.0. Results: Several findings were obtained from the study. First, the mean of job stress was 52.4 points, which was higher than that of Korean women. Second, it was shown that by the sub-domain of job stress, the mean value belonged to the top 50% in the four sub-domains of physical environment, job demand, interpersonal conflict, and organizational system. Additionally, it belonged to the top 25% in the sub-domain of job insecurity, wherein the job stress was the highest. Third, the self-esteem of the nurses had the most significant effect on their job stress. Conclusion: Stress related to job insecurity was the highest among the visiting nurses at health centers in Seoul who perform the custom home care service thus, institutional support is urgently needed to alleviate such stress and secure their employment.
