Due to the routine nature of social distancing in accordance with the COVID-19 pandemic, the logistics industry is under rapid development, given that offline demand is focused on online platforms. The number of warehouse workplaces and workers are steadily increasing per annum, and the industrial accident rate of transportation, warehouse, and telecommunication industries to which warehouse employees belong is higher than the total industrial accident rate in Korea. In previous studies, warehouse workers reported exposure to health hazards such as musculoskeletal disorders due to the handling of heavy objects and improper working postures. Accordingly, in this study, a survey was conducted to investigate symptoms of musculoskeletal disorders with focus on parcel delivery workers nationwide. The questionnaire included a musculoskeletal disorder symptom survey table to identify information such as worker occupational history, work type, and signs or symptoms of musculoskeletal disorders. Survey response data from 453 people were obtained to determine the influence of delivery business characteristics on occupational musculoskeletal disorders, and the influencing factors were analyzed. Based on the results, in the analysis of pain with respect to body part, the duration, degree, and frequency of pain were highest in the leg part, and as a result, the average value for the leg part exhibited a significant difference from those of other body parts. In addition, 52.32% of workers exhibited symptoms of musculoskeletal disorders, and a high number of patients with musculoskeletal disorders was observed in the work group with less than three years of service and with ages ranging from 30-39. The results of this study can serve as basic data for the derivation of a management plan that meets the characteristics of musculoskeletal disorders that impact logistics workers overburdened with work due to the rapid increase in parcel delivery volume in accordance with an increase in online consumption.

This paper is to investigate the relationship between international marketing and service quality, and the moderating effect of gender in that relationship. The data to make an empirical analysis were gathered from 269 workers in telecommunication sector. Multiple regression analysis revealed that (1) education was positively related with tangibility, reliability, responsiveness, empathy, assurance, and (2) internal communication was positively related with tangibility, reliability, responsiveness, assurance, and (3) delegation of authority was positively related with assurance. Hierarchical multiple regression analysis revealed that (4) compensation was more positively related with reliability in woman, and (5) employment security was more positively related with assurance in man.

Background: The rise in telecommuting or non-face-to-face work owing to the coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic has fueled conversations regarding the "right to disconnect." Although evidence suggests that receiving work-related communications through telecommunication devices outside of work hours may lead to various symptoms and illnesses, limited research has been undertaken on these symptoms. This study therefore aims to investigate the correlation between receiving work communications through telecommunication devices after work hours and the occurrence of work-related headaches and eyestrain in full-time, non-shift white-collar workers. Methods: This study used data from the 6th Korean Working Conditions Survey. The frequency of using telecommunication devices for work purposes outside of working hours was divided into five categories: "Every day," "Several times a week," "Several times a month," "Rarely," and "Never." Work-related headaches and eyestrain were categorized based on a "yes" or "no" response to the survey questions. Descriptive statistics, χ² tests, and multiple logistic regression analyses were performed using SPSS 27.0. Results: After adjusting for sex, age, income level, education, occupation, workplace size, work hours, and sleep disorders, the odds ratio (OR) of work-related headaches and eyestrain based on frequency of telecommunication device usage were as follows: "rarely" (OR: 1.292; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.111-1.503), "several times a month" (OR: 1.551; 95% CI: 1.249-1.926), "several times a week" (OR: 1.474; 95% CI: 1.217-1.784), and "every day" (OR: 1.548; 95% CI: 1.321-1.813). Conclusions: Employees who use telecommunication devices for work after regular hours are more susceptible to experiencing work-related headaches and eyestrain compared to those who do not. However, there is a dearth of research examining the physical and mental health impacts of using telecommunication devices for after-hours work. Furthermore, the existing preventative measures in Korea are insufficient. Consequently, it is imperative to develop effective measures and conduct additional research to address this issue.

본 논문은 건설 현장을 출입하는 작업자나 공사차량의 위치추적 및 인식 기법에 관한 것으로, 건설 현장에서 이동체의 위치추적은 안전사고 예방, 사고시 긴급 구난 등의 목적과 함께 불법 차량이 현장을 출입하면서 발생하는 자재 도난 및 사고를 방지하기 위함이다. 이를 실현하기 위해 정보통신기술(IT)을 현장에 접목시켜 건설 현장용 지원시스템을 구축하는 것은 매우 바람직한 융합 기술이다. 본 논문에서는 현장에 적합한 무선통신망을 이용해서 작업자 및 이동 차량의 연속적인 위치를 검출하는 기법을 제안 및 구현하였고, 가상 게이트웨이 구축 및 활용 기법을 제안하여 이동체의 건설 현장 진출입 여부를 판단하는데 활용하였다. 또한 다양한 현장 시험을 통해 제안된 기법들을 검증하였다.

21세기는 정보통신기술의 급속한 발전, 정보화 사회의 도래 등으로 지식의 창출과 확산 및 활용속도가 크게 증가될 것이다. 본 논문은 이 같은 변화 상황에서 노동수요와 공급이 어떻게 변화할 것인지를 전망하고 정책적 함의를 제시하고 있다. 향후 노동력 공급에 있어서는 생산가능인구의 증가세가 둔화되고, 베이비 붐 세대의 장노년화와 고령화 사회 도래, 인구의 고학력화, 여성 노동력의 급증 등이 예상된다. 이 같은 변화는 기업내의 직급구조나 고용관행의 변화, 심지어는 임금체계의 변화등을 수반하게 될 것이다. 노동력 수요에 있어서도 우리 경제에서 지식집약 산업의 비중이 커지고 고용 역시 지식 집약 산업에서의 비중이 커질 것으로 전망된다. 또한 고기술 산업 및 고학력 직종 등의 수요가 크게 늘어날 전망이다. 이에 따라 전문기술 직종이 증가하고 정보통신 인력, 여성인력 등의 수요도 크게 늘어날 전망이다. 그러나 한편으로는 변화하는 사회에서 필요로 하는 기술과 기능을 갖추지 못한 근로자는 실업의 위기에 직면하게 되고 소득분배 역시 악화될 가능성이 있다. 이러한 문제를 해결하기 위해서는 근로자들이 변화하는 환경에 적응하기 위한 평생학습사회의 구축이 필요하다.
