Purpose: Regular cancer screening for workers can help prevent cancer or allow early treatment, and is thus beneficial in improving health, reducing costs, and increasing companies' productivity. However, there has been little research on cancer screening rates of workers and related factors. The purpose of this study was to identify cancer screening rates and relevant factors among manufacturing workers. Methods: Using a questionnaire, data were collected from 335 workers aged over 40 years recruited from seven manufacturing companies. The collected information included cancer screenings (stomach, colorectal, breast, and cervical), attitude towards cancer screening, and demographic and job characteristics. Results: 72.5% of workers received stomach cancer screening (SCS), and 43% received colorectal cancer screening (CRCS). Among 86 women, 68.6% received breast cancer screening and cervical cancer screening. The attitude towards cancer screening was $29.5{\pm}3.78$. Workers aged over 51, married, and those working in mobile manufacturing were more likely to have undergone SCS. Workers aged over 51, married, those working in mobile manufacturing, those in workplaces with more than 1,001 employees, and those with more positive attitudes toward cancer screening were more likely to have undergone CRCS. Finally, attitude affected cervical cancer screening. Conclusion: Workers in small-sized workplaces had lower cancer screening rates. Thus, follow-up research should assess the health environment of workplaces and develop educational programs on cancer screening that reflect attitudes towards screening.

This study examined the expectations and attitudes toward retirement, and financial planning for retirement among paid workers aged 20s and 30s. It compared paid workers' socio-economic, and retirement-related characteristics between those who had retirement planning and those who did not, and identified factors important to retirement planning decision. Data for this study were from a questionnaire completed by paid workers in age 20s and 30s (n=227), and were analyzed by t-tests, chi-square tests, and a logistic regression model. The findings of this study were as follows: First, the paid workers' expected retirement age was 56, and their ideal age for retirement was about 60. More than 85% of workers agreed that the retirement planning should begin before age 40, but just 51 % of the workers had retirement planning. Second, the workers aged 30s, married, and those who had higher incomes and home ownership were more likely to prepare financially for their retirement. Third, as their expected retirement age increased, the probability of decision to retirement planning increased. Those who expected that the economic status of retirees' living would be same as their current economic status were more likely to have retirement planning. The positive attitudes toward retirement had significant effect on the decision to have retirement planning.

The study is to investigate how much middle-aged male worker's life stress affect their psychological well-being. The subject group was 223 male workers aged from 40 to 59 with a wife and children. The results are as follows: 1) the middle-aged male workers perceive an economic life stress as a most stressful problem, and mostly use a 'direct-positive' coping behavior(CB) type to settle the stress among 4 stress CB types. 2) Economic life and marital stress, 'indirect-active' and 'direct-active' CB give deep effects on their life satisfaction. 3) The effecting factors on their depression are work stress, marital stress, health stress, a 'direct-passive', an 'indirect-active', an 'indirect-passive' CB and their income. In order to increase their life satisfaction and to decrease their depression, concludingly, it is most significant for them to have a strong marital relationship and actively cope with life stress.

Recently, proportion of the aged becomes greater in Korea like the advanced country as time passed away, and this is treated as one of major social problems. Therfore, we investigated visual/auditory signal detection performance to evaluate vocational aptitude of the middle-and old-aged workers in this study. It was shown that signal detection performance decreased as workers became older, and there was large individual difference in signal detection performance. Since signal detection performance in visual task decreased rapidly and more than that in auditory task, the middle-and old-aged workers can not carry out properly visual inspection and precision task was related with that in auditory task. It can be expected that the parameters used in this study are in good use for evaluating a worker's aptitude.

The population of aged people in industries has been increased remarkably due to the decline of birth rates and the increase of average life span. Also, the current automation trends makes aged people to work easy in industries since automation technologies help them to avoid physically hard tasks. Therefore the evaluation of aged workers' adaptability would be an important research topic. In the study, the mean and standard deviation of the reaction time are calculated to see the differences with four lamps's types and ages. It is found that the mean reaction time and the standard deviation are increased with the the increase of age. The quantitative approach provides an important information to be used not only for the adaptability estimation of aged workers but also for the working capability qualification for re-employment.

본 연구는 중년 남성 근로자의 수면의 질에 미치는 영향 요인을 파악하기 위한 목적으로 시도된 서술적 조사연구이다. 본 연구의 대상자는 전남지역 사업장의 중년 남성 근로자 127명이며, 자료 조사는 구조화된 설문지를 이용한 자가 보고식으로 이루어졌다. 자료 분석은 t-test, one-way ANOVA, Pearson correlation coefficient 와 step wise multiple regression 으로 SPSS/WIN 18.0을 사용하여 분석하였다. 연구결과, 수면의 질과 관련 변인들 간의 관계를 살펴보면 직무 스트레스는 양의 상관관계를 보였고, 직무만족도는 음의 상관관계를 보였다. 직무스트레스 중 하위영역 직무요구, 직장문화와 직무만족 중 하위영역 직무자체가 수면의 질을 24.5% 설명하였다. 이에 중년 남성 근로자들의 수면의 질을 향상하기 위한 간호중재 전략과 직업만족도를 높이고 직업스트레스를 줄이는 전략을 강구해야 할 것이다. 더불어 대상자의 수면의 질 향상을 위해 과도한 업무량을 줄일 수 있는 제도적 방안 마련과 건전한 직장문화를 확립할 수 있도록 구성원 간의 노력이 필요할 것으로 생각된다.

이 연구는 서울과 수도권에 근무 중인 40~50대의 중년직장인을 대상으로 중년직장인이 인지하는 퇴직에 대한 태도가 퇴직준비와 직무만족도에 유의미한 영향을 미치는지를 검증하는 연구이다. 서울과 수도권에 400부의 설문지를 배포한 것 중 회수된 362부를 연구에 사용하였다. 두 개의 가설을 세워 가설검증을 진행하였고, 그 결과 중년직장인의 퇴직태도 중 강요된 좌절은 퇴직준비의 재정과 가족에만 유의미한 부(-)적 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났고, 새로운 출발은 퇴직준비의 모든 하위변인(재정, 가족, 건강, 여가와 봉사)에 유의미한 정(+)적 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 두 번째 가설인 직무만족도의 영향에선 퇴직태도의 노년휴식과 새로운 출발이 직무만족도에 유의미한 정(+)적 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 이 결과로 퇴직을 강요된 좌절이라고 인지할수록 재정과 가족에 대한 퇴직준비가 낮았고, 퇴직을 새로운 출발로 인지할수록 퇴직준비의 모든 항목이 높게 나타났다. 또한 퇴직을 노년의 휴식과 새로운 출발이라고 인지할수록 직무만족도 역시 높게 나타났다. 이로써 퇴직을 앞둔 중년직장인들의 퇴직에 대한 태도가 퇴직준비와 직무만족도에 유의미한 영향을 미친다는 것을 알 수 있다.

본 연구는 한국노동연구원의 사업체패널조사 1-5차년도 자료와 행정자료인 "고용보험 DB"를 결합하여 구축한 "사업체-근로자 연계자료"를 활용하여 사업체 근로자의 연령구성과 생산성 및 인건비와의 관계를 실증분석 하였다. 사업체의 생산성은 1인당 부가가치로, 인건비는 1인당 노동비용으로, 사업체 근로자의 고령화 정도는 근로자의 연령구성으로 측정하였으며 동적패널모형을 활용하였다. 분석 결과, 생산성과 인건비 모두 사업체의 35-39세 연령대 근로자의 비율을 중심으로 역U자의 모습을 보였다. 즉, 35-39세 연령대 근로자 대신 더 젊은층의 근로자 혹은 더 고령층의 근로자 비중이 증가하는 경우 생산성 및 인건비에 부(-)의 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 특히, 35-39세 연령대 근로자 대신 50세 이상 연령대 근로자가 증가할 때의 생산성 추정계수와 인건비 추정계수와의 차이가 30세 미만 연령대 근로자가 증가할 때의 생산성 및 인건비의 추정계수와의 차이보다 더 큰 것으로 나타났다. 이러한 분석 결과를 통해 고령근로자의 생산성 저하에 대한 기업의 우려는 타당하나, 동시에 기업은 이미 인건비 조정 등의 방법을 통해 고령근로자를 효율적으로 활용해 왔음도 확인할 수 있다.
