This space is for the abstract of your study in English. Recently, we began to face a significant change in our daily lives due to the expansion of the use of smartphones. In this regard, this study aims at examining the mechanism of Smart Work, necessary for the creation of job, led by the use of smart devices, and ways of its development. Accordingly, this study defined concepts of Smart Work clearly and analyzed the convergence of information through IT, the exploitation of new markets, derived from information industry, along with foreign cases of job creation through ICT. Furthermore, change in people's cultural recognition is required for the place of smart Work. For example, cluster development based on the public-private cooperation will promote the creation of job. In addition, the cooperation of the academic world and the service industry will play a leading role in developing local economy. To attain this end, the policy support of government for Smart Work and the public-private cooperation are needed.
