Objectives: A rapid increase in the population of migrant workers in Korea has brought new challenges regarding the possible effects of acculturation on health. The purpose of this study was to examine the influence of acculturation- and work-related psychosocial factors on work-related musculoskeletal disorders among migrant female workers living in Korea. Methods: A cross-sectional survey design was used. A translated, structured questionnaire was administrated to 156 southeastern Asian female full-time workers living in Korea. Results: About 35% of the participants experienced some type(s) of work-related musculoskeletal disorder(s), which were more prevalent in Vietnamese women than in Thai and Filipino women. Women who preferred to maintain their own heritage and to reject the host country heritage were at risk for work-related musculoskeletal disorders. Conclusion: Acculturation strategy and nationality were found to be significant factors associated with work-related musculoskeletal disorders. Health professionals need to accommodate acculturation contexts into risk assessment and intervention development for work-related musculoskeletal disorders separately for different nationalities.

In this study of acculturation strategies and adjustment in Korean-Chinese and Chinese-Korean children, 273 Korean-Chinese and 207 Chinese-Korean were asked about levels of assimilation to the mainstream language and culture, ethnic identity, emotional attitude toward their schools, teachers' support, peers' support, and social distance from the mainstream. Results revealed that separation was the most preferred strategy followed by integration, assimilation, and marginalization for both subject groups. Children categorized by separation strategies reported highest scores in school adjustment variables and lowest scores in social distance. There were some differences between Korean-Chinese and Chinese-Korean children in cultural assimilation, ethnic identity, emotional attitude toward school, and teacher's support. These findings were explained by their immigration history and the uniqueness of each mainstream society.

Business organizations suffer from transferring information technology(IT) into practice. If the problem is solely an technical issue, the strategy to solve the problem is assumed to be identical regardless of the cultural differences of the organizations. Many studies, however, indicated that the cultural differences between organizations were attributed to the differences of championing behaviors in the organizations. The study develops the cultural model of IT transfer from well developed countries to the less developed countries. It is assumed that the outcomes of IT systems are affected by the cultural sets, technology acculturation, and national technology infrastructure. This study examines the effects of cultural sets and technology acculturation on the outcome of IT systems, however. The analysis results show that technological acculturation has strong relationship with the individual IT outcomes and the cultural sets. The cultural sets, however, did not show any significant relation with the individual IT outcomes in the context of the structural model even though the correlation between the cultural sets and the IT outcomes were relatively high. Thus, kit is considered that the interaction between the technological acculturation and the cultural sets might interfere the relations.

This study investigated the educational culture experienced by married immigrant women in their own country, as well as their internalizing process of the educational culture in Korea, using a qualitative case study. The purpose of this study was to help married immigrant women solve the problem of acculturation based on their own educational and cultural experiences and to overcome limitations of previous studies, which dealt with the problem of acculturation superficially. Participants were 17 married immigrant women from eight countries who resided in Jeonnam and Jeonbuk provinces. They were selected by the sampling strategy of maximum variation. Data were collected through archives and in-depth interviews and analyzed using within-case analysis and cross-case analysis. The results showed that married immigrant women had no experience of attending private institutions and had good memories of their school life. Based on these kinds of experiences, they criticized Korean mothers who urged their children to attend private institutions. They respected their children's opinions and allowed their children to select private institutions. Despite married immigrant women apparently suffering from acculturation, they educate their children according to their own philosophy and method of education. That is, they solve the problem of acculturation actively and independently. Consequently, in order to help married immigrant women solve the problem of acculturation, it is necessary to respect the difference in the cultures and frame a system that develops the activity and subjectivity of married immigrant women.

본 연구는 청소년기 자녀를 둔 이주 여성의 문화적응 유형을 분석하고, 이에 따른 자녀 진로지원 특성과 청소년 의 진로 관련 행동의 차이를 보고하기 위하여 실행되었다. 분석 자료는 한국청소년정책연구원의 다문화청소년패널조사 6차년도 자료 중 총 1,248사례였다. 분석 결과 첫째, 이주 여성의 문화적응 유형은 동화가 가장 높은 비율을 차지하였으며, 다음으로는 통합, 분리, 주변화의 순서로 나타났다. 둘째, 이주 여성의 문화적응 유형에 따른 자녀의 진로지원 특성에서는 부모의 효능감, 진로 관련 행동과 부모의 지지에서 유의미한 차이가 나타났다. 셋째, 이주 여성의 문화적응 유형에 따른 청소년기 자녀의 진로태도와 진로 장벽 인식에서도 유의미한 차이가 나타났다. 전반적으로 어머니의 문화적응 유형이 동화인 경우 부모 효능감, 진로 관련 행동, 부모의 지지, 청소년 자녀의 진로태도와 진로장벽 인식에서 긍정적인 차이를 보였다. 본 연구는 청소년기 자녀를 둔 이주 여성 가족 지원을 위한 자료로 의미를 갖는다.

본 연구는 문화적응에 대한 다차원적 이론을 근거로, 문화적응유형을 주변화, 분리, 동화, 통합유형으로 구분하여, 첫째, 이주여성의 특성에 따른 문화적응유형의 차이를 밝히고, 둘째, 이주여성의 문화적응유형을 판별하는 특성을 규명하려는 목적으로 수행되었다. 사회조사연구로 설계되었으며 346명 이주여성의 자료를 분석하였다. 연구결과, 이주여성의 문화적응유형은 주변화유형이 37%, 통합유형이 30%, 분리유형 18%, 동화유형이 15%인 것으로 나타났다. 베트남국적, 낮은 연령, 낮은 교육수준, 유배우자는 통합유형, 긴 거주기간, 많은 자녀수, 낮은 회복력은 동화유형 이주여성의 특성으로 나타났다. 북한 중국 일본국적, 높은 연령, 높은 교육년수, 직업 없음, 무배우자, 낮은 대처능력은 주 변화유형, 그리고 높은 연령, 높은 교육년수, 배우자와의 적은 연령차, 적은 수의 자녀는 분리유형 이주여성의 특성으로 나타났다. 동남아시아 국적, 연령, 교육년수, 유배우자, 자녀의 수는 이주여성의 문화적응유형을 유의미하게 판별하는 것으로 나타났으며, 이들 특성은 통합유형의 80% 이상을 정확하게 판별하는 것으로 나타났다. 끝으로 문화적응유형별로 해당 이주여성의 공통된 특성을 도출하여 이주문화습득과 원문화유지의 위험요인을 규명해야 하는 필요성과 이주여성의 통합적 문화적응을 위해 요구되는 프로그램을 중심으로 본 연구의 실천적 함의를 논의하였다.

Purpose: The purpose of the study >was to examine the prevalence of work-related musculoskeletal disorders(WMSDs) and to identify the relationship between work-related psychosocial and acculturative factors and WMSDs among Korean-Chinese workers living in Korea. Methods: A cross-sectional survey was conducted with 195 Korean-Chinese workers who have worked full-time for the past 6 months. A structured questionnaire, including measures for musculoskeletal symptoms, physical demand, work-related psychosocial(job demand, job control, interpersonal conflict), acculturative (acculturation strategy and acculturative stress), and personal factors, was used. Descriptive statistics and logistic regression analysis were conducted using the SPSS WIN 17.0. Results: The prevalence of WMSDs was 64.1%. In comparison to Korean workers, job demand of this group was lower while both interpersonal conflict and lack of job control were higher among them. Integration was the most commonly used acculturation strategy and mean scores of acculturative stress were below the median. Acculturative stress was positively correlated with integration and assimilation while negatively correlated with separation and marginalization. Interpersonal conflict and integration appeared to be related to WMSDs among male and female Korean-Chinese workers, respectively. Conclusion: The WMSD interventions need to be planned in consideration of different influences of work-related psychosocial and acculturative factors on WMSDs by gender.
