In this study we tried to give a decision on propriety of working conditions, to present ideas on reducing work loads, and to grope for efficiency of agricultural works. For this we examined the actual working conditions of cultivating welsh onion in the summer ground. And we improved harmful factors that affect farmer's health by considering results of previous study and farmer's subjective sensation. And we measured. compared, and analyzed the farmer's work loads before and after improvement. The results of this study are as follows ; 1. According to examine the actual working conditions of cultivating welsh onion in the summer ground, farmers have experienced physical and mental chronic fatigue on the basis of farmer's appel to eye - fatigue and sun - burned skin on hot working environment including excessive ultraviolet rays, the rough ground condition, inconsistent arrangement of working stand and sorter, heavy - weared habits, and unsuitable working posture. 2. When we improved harmful factors that affect farmer's health, conformed the effects on important work efficiency index such as heart rate, electromyovolume, body temperature, and microclimate inside clothing and work loads were decreased by eliminating the hillock and obstacles of ground, decreasing the clothing weight, using proper clothing appliances such as hat and sunglasses, controlling height of working stand and sorter suitably, improving the working postures and methods as using assistant appliances, alloting the working time and sequence effectively and presenting the light gymnastic exercises and rest for fatigue restoration.

The purpose of this study is to establish the horizontal and vertical working area which is dependent on measuring value of workers, body in order to make easy and stable working environments, and then to design the size of machines, tools and instruments in production factory because of making the practical production conditions which is the most suitable to human characteristics. But there is necessity that we have to review numeric value of measurement periodically because the size of workers' body is variable according to periodic and social circumstances. The establishment of standard working area after measurement enable us to make the best working conditions and we can design standard working table, optimum size of all machines and tools in production activity. Therefore, we can also acknowledge the importance of studying on human engineering because human engineering is necessary to reduction of fatigue in working, saving workers from industrial accidents, fail-safe system, improvement of productivity with increase in efficiency and etc. Finally, this study informs us that numeric value of measurement is larger than that of Japan, but not than that of America and Germany. So we can establish standard working area which is the most suitable for Korean inherence after measurement of detailed parts for workers' body.

Recently, small and medium-sized hospitals which are located in rural areas have many difficulties in securing high quality nurses. That is because working environments for nurses in small and medium-sized hospitals in rural areas are poor compared with those of big hospitals in urban. As a result, the migration of nurses from small and medium-sized hospitals in rural areas to big hospitals in urban is continuously happening. In general, big hospitals provide nurses with high level of salary and fringe benefits. To prevent the migration of nurses, chief executive officers of small & medium hospitals in rural areas have been interested in improving nurses' working conditions including wages. Also, they have raised nurses' salary and improved working conditions. But, basically these individualized efforts have some limit. In connection with this, medical interest groups have produced various voices in terms of interpretation and solutions for these issues. However, from the future perspectives, it seems evident that two approaches for both manpower supply and demand plans of nurses are necessary. They should contain not only accurate estimation of the supply-demand of nursing manpower but also the improvement of working conditions and wages of nurses. Estimation of nursing manpower supply-demand depends on the standards and criteria being used. Supply and demand may be met or not in accordance with the points emphasized on the decision. In the articles, issues regarding nursing manpower, levels of salary, other working conditions and social support system for child care are discussed. According to Joe's report (2005), most health institutions did not meet the guidelines of nurse staffing in Medical Law. The wages of nurse vary on every hospital and there is a big difference in wages' range. The average starting salary for a nurse is 22 million won a year. In case of tertiary hospitals, it reaches up to 30 million won a year. Nurse as a profession should have a strong responsibility and should take care of the patients for 24 hours with three working shifts. Also, most of them are female who have the burden of child rearing. Therefore, it is suggested to increase the salary, to provide comfortable working conditions, and to have social support system for nurses with household affairs.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to examine the mental health and presenteeism of early childhood teachers and to explore the effects of working conditions and job satisfaction on these. Methods: Data from the 4thKorean Work Environment Survey were used. The sample consisted of 474 female early-childhood teachers from private facilities. Mental health was measured using the WHO-Wellbeing Index. Presenteeism was attributed to a participant upon indication that, during the past 12 months, she had ever attended work, despite being sick. The data by complex sample design were analyzed through the Rao-Scott $x^2$ test and logistic regression analysis. Results: 37.9% of early childhood teachers reported poor mental health and 34.2% had experienced presenteeism. Early childhood teachers in permanent employment, who did not work evening shifts, and with sustainable jobs, were more likely to have better mental health. Moreover, those in permanent employment and remunerated appropriately were less likely to experience presenteeism. Conclusion: Type of employment, number of days working in the evening, and job sustainability affect mental health. Further, type of employment, number of workers, and being well paid have an effect on presenteeism. We suggest that improved working conditions should precede the improvement of early-childhood teachers' mental health.

본 연구는 소방공무원의 직무여건 개선 등에 관한 의식을 조사, 합리적인 개선방안을 제시하기 위하여 수행되었다. 연구결과 한국의 소방공무원은 직업에 대한 보람과 긍지를 가지고 있는 반면에 근로시간, 근속승진, 정부포상, 해외연수 등 처우개선 분야에 있어서는 경찰 교정 철도직 등 유사직렬 근무자와 대비하여 대부분 내재적인 비교갈등을 안고 있어 이에 대한 개선대안 마련이 시급한 것으로 나타났다. 그러나 광역 지방자치단체별 지방 공무원 대비 소방공무원의 인력비율이 평균적으로 적게는 26.46%에서 많게는 64.06%에 이르고 있고 소방력기준과 행정자치부 소방공무원 정원 보강지침, 소방공무원 표준정원제 등의 상치와 한계 및 공무원 총액인건비제도의 시행으로 전면적인 3교대의 도입과 만족스러운 처우개선 마련이 곤란하여 일시에 근원적인 해결책이 마련될 수 있는 사안은 아니다. 따라서 일본 미국 등 선진국의 제도와 소방공무원의 직무 하중 등을 고려하여 근무시스템은 과다근무 부서 중심으로 우선적 3교대를 시행하되 기타 근속승진과 순번휴무제의 확대와 정부포상, 해외연수 등 각종 복지제도를 단계적으로 현실에 맞게 개선해 나감으로써 합리적이고도 적실성 있는 정책대안을 수립 시행함이 필요한 것으로 분석되었다.

This paper empirically analyzes how working conditions of employees and executives affect Korean companies' survival. To this end, a survival analysis based on the accelerated failure time model is conducted from the end of December 2012 to the end of September 2018 on the 2012 year-end financial data for corporations whose common stocks have ever been listed either in the KOSPI market or in the KOSDAQ market with fiscal year ending at the end of December. The analysis shows that the average wage level per employee and the number of executives relative to the number of employees threaten while the average duration of service for female employees prolongs firm survival. Here, the average wage level per employee has turned out to worsen firm survivability regardless of the gender of employees in question while the average duration of service improves firm survivability only in case the employees are female: the average duration of service for male employees or the entire employees has turned out not to have any statistically significant influence on firm survival. The average compensation per executive and the percentage of temporary employees have turned out not to have any statistically significant influence on firm survival while the percentage of female employees has shown statistically significant positive influence on firm survival in some, although not all, models employed in our study. These results are expected to be a good reference in the course of our reaching agreements regarding the improvement of working conditions either between firms and employees or among the members of the entire society.

대부분의 건설현장에서 기후에 대한 공기산정은 정확한 자료 없이 현장관리자의 경험과 직관에 의해 작업불능일수를 정함으로써 잦은 공기조정으로 인한 경제적 손실은 물론 공사주체들 간의 이해관계에서도 많은 문제점을 안고 있다. 일부 건설 현장과 선행연구에서는 작업불능일 산정기준으로 과거 일정기간의 기상평균값을 사용하고 있지만, 과거 산정기간에 대한 기준이 정립되지 않아 현장마다 각기 다른 산정기간을 적용하고 있으며, 적용기간에 따라 산정한 작업불능일수가 서로 다른 실정이다. 뿐만 아니라 최근 대두되고 있는 기후변화는 기후예측을 보다 어렵게 만들고 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 기후조건별 작업불능일 산정을 위한 산술평균값들 중 최근 몇 년 기간을 산술평균으로 한 예측값이 실제값과의 오차를 최소화시킬 수 있는지 검토하여, 보다 예측성이 높은 산정방법을 제안하고자 한다.
