Despite its remarkable socioeconomic development, South Korea underperforms in terms of female labor force participation and women in leadership positions. As women appear to avoid nuclear engineering, we aim to evaluate its relative performance in attracting women to its labor force compared to other college majors. Using college-major level information from 2000, we test whether the female faculty share in nuclear engineering is lower than its counterparts. Although nuclear engineering has one of the lowest female faculty shares, its share exceeds that of agricultural science, business and economics, chemical engineering, chemistry, civil engineering, and industrial engineering once we properly control for gender composition among students and other compounding factors. In other words, once female students major in nuclear engineering, they are less likely to leave their fields compared to their counterparts in other disciplines. This result implies that if the nuclear engineering field aims to attract more women to its workforce, it is important to target them from the early stage of their careers.

현재 감정노동에 관한 수많은 이론적 연구와 실증적 연구가 진행되고 있으며, 감정노동의 선행요인과 결과요인에 대한 연구도 많이 진행되고 있다. 그러나 이러한 감정노동의 개념이나 영향요인과 결과요인에 대한 이론 확립이나 실증적인 연구가 부족하므로 체계적인 접근과 연구가 필요하다. 본 연구의 목적은 감정노동의 이론적 정립, 영향요인과 결과요인으로서 서비스 제공수준과의 관계를 파악하는데 있다. 본 연구의 실증분석 결과, 영향변수인 직무관련 요인과 표현 규칙이 감정노동에 유의한 영향을 미치고 있는 것으로 나타났다. 또한 감정노동의 표면적 행동(SA)과 내면적 행동(DA)은 종사원의 서비스 제공수준에 유의한 영향관계를 갖으며, 특히 DA는 여행서비스 제공자의 서비스 태도에 SA보다 영향력이 강한 것으로 나타났다. 따라서, 여행업계에서는 직무환경 등을 고려한 회사차원의 인센티브 프로그램의 교육 훈련 등이 필요한 것으로 분석된다 이러한 연구에도 불구하고 본 연구는 한계를 갖게 되므로, 향후 연구에서는 감정노동과 이를 제어할 수 있는 변수들과의 관계를 심층적으로 파악하는 시도가 진행되어야 할 것이다.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to determine whether upright position is effective in labor through systematic review in randomized controlled trials. Methods: We established the PICO (Patient-Intervention-Comparator-Outcome) strategy, and reviewed 282 literatures from national and international electronic databases, and finally selected 9 references based on inclusion and exclusion criteria. We evaluated the quality of references and carried out a meta-analysis. Results: The maternal outcomes showed that the duration of their second-stage labor was 2.29 minutes shorter than that of the women in the recumbent position, and were less likely to have episiotomy. The other outcomes, including the mode of delivery, blood loss, hemoglobin level, use of oxytocin, use of analgesics, and perineal laceration, did not differ between the groups. The fetal heart rate abnormality occurred less than in the control group. The Apgar scores of the groups did not differ. Conclusion: There is evidence that an upright position in the second stage of labor reduces the duration of the second stage of labor, the incidence of episiotomy, and an abnormal fetal heart rate.

본 연구는 2006년 부산광역시 선도기업을 대상으로 하여 교육훈련비가 기업의 노동생산성에 어떠한 영향을 미치고 있는지에 대해 1999~2008년의 기업자료를 사용하여 고정효과모형 및 2SLS방법에 의해 실증분석한 논문이다. 1인당 교육훈련비로 측정한 교육훈련은 통계적으로 유의한 수준에서 기업의 노동생산성에 양(+)의 영향을 미치고 있는 것으로 나타났다. 교육훈련의 효과성은 모든 기업에 동일하게 나타난다고 하기 보다는 기업특성에 따라 그 효과성에 차이가 존재할 개연성이 크므로 기업특성(기업규모, 산업분류)에 따른 차이를 분석한 결과, 대기업과 중소기업으로 구분한 기업규모는 통계적으로 유의한 차이를 발견하지 못하였다. 반면에 산업분류와 관련한 분석에서는 서비스산업의 교육훈련 효과성이 통계적으로 유의한 수준에서 타 산업에 비해 낮은 것으로 나타났다. 이러한 결과는 서비스산업에서의 교육훈련 프로그램의 보완이 시급하며 정책적인 지원을 통한 교육훈련분야의 다양화가 요구되는 근거가 된다고 할 수 있다.

Purpose: This study was conducted to identify the association between emotional labor and job stress in bus drivers, as well as to propose management strategies for job stress. Methods: The study was conducted in February 2013 and involved 182 bus drivers working in the Gyeonggi area. Results: emotional labor was $9.5{\pm}2.34$ on average, and job stress was higher than the median of the same indicator among Korea's workers in the areas of physical environment, job autonomy, and relationship conflicts. Factors that affected job stress was lower if the subjects' Higher values for emotional labor indicated a higher level of job stress. Conclusion: To reduce among drivers, the following measures are necessary: increase the comfort of the driver's seat within the vehicle, provide adequate rest between bus headways, provide comfortable in-house rest facilities, and establish physical training spaces to reduce musculoskeletal disorders as well as programs for reducing back pain. In addition, relationship conflicts may be relieved by increasing job autonomy as much as possible, by granting autonomous control of working hours and bus headways, as well as by banning long work hours. Moreover, various club activities, exercise programs, and counseling programs that workers can be involved in together may be beneficial. This study is significant in that it identified the relationship of the bus drivers' emotional labor and job stress, which has previously been ignored as a research topic. Through its results, this study provides baseline data for the preparation of management strategies that can address the job stress of bus drivers.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to explore the effects of abdominal breathing on relieving anxiety in women diagnosed with preterm labor. Method: This was a pilot study, which was based on a repeated pre-post experiment design without a control group. Seven patients with preterm labor who were admitted to Y university medical center, Seoul, Korea, participated in the experiment. They were under receiving ritodrine hydrochloride(Yutopa) as tocolytic therapy and did not have any other complications. The patients were taught abdominal breathing, which is a modified version of Mason's breathing technique. The experimental treatments were done 33 times from February 18 to June 19 in 2005. Result: After abdominal breathing, the average psychological anxiety level decreased significantly. The physical anxiety levels of preterm labor patients were measured by blood pressure, pulse, and skin temperature. After abdominal breathing, the average systolic and diastolic blood pressure decreased from 117.3mmHg to 107.6 mmHg (z=-3.85, p<.001) and from 67.3mmHg to 62.7 mmHg (z=-3.14, p<.005), respectively. The average pulse rate also decreased from 97.2/min to 89.8/mim (z=-4.76, p<.001). The average skin temperature increased from 94.0 to 94.9(z=-4.80. p<.001). Conclusion: Abdominal breathing is effective for relieving anxiety of women diagnosed with preterm labor. This study, however, has been limited to short-term effects, and therefore further studies are required in order to examine the long-term effects of abdominal breathing.

Objectives: The objective of this study was to describe the emotional labor experiences of ward nurses in Korea. Methods: The data were collected through focus group interviews with seven ward nurses. The phenomenological analytic method suggested by Colaizzi was used to analyze the data. Results: Four theme clusters and eleven themes emerged from the analysis. The first theme cluster, 'Terrible working environment' includes changes in the health environment and realities of nursing organization. The second theme cluster, 'Suppressed feelings' includes institutionalized power trip, patient-centered emotion management and burning. The third theme cluster, 'Tired body and mind' includes withdrawal, wounded self-esteem, burnout and turnover desicion. The fourth theme cluster, 'Want to be comforted' includes emotional control and wishing to live as a nurse. Conclusions: The findings of this study provide an understanding of the emotional labor experiences of ward nurses to explain their perceptions and language. The essence of the emotional labor of ward nurses is a negative working environment created by increased competition in the healthcare industry and the nature of nursing organization, and as a result their quality of life has fallen.
