Project manager plays a very important role in the success of any project. The primary duty of the project manager is to combine the outcomes or results of the various processes and activities of project management into a systematic project management strategy or plan for the project. In the construction industry, a lack of motivation is an urgent problem for many project managers in construction and engineering projects. Lack of motivation affects the quality and productivity of jobs, reducing profits and growth for companies, businesses, contractors or organizations that rely on human resources. The reasons for this lack of motivation are diverse ranging from salary to culture to life and working environment, among others. Through surveys and data analysis using Cronbach's Alpha reliability and EFA (Exploratory Factor Analysis), our research scaled the factors affecting work motivation of project managers in the construction industry in Vietnam. The research results identified six major groups of relevant factors including (i) salary and benefits, (ii) work environment, (iii) promotion opportunities, (iv) organizational culture, (v) interest in the job, and (vi) relationship with the organization. From there, this paper contributed useful information as well as measures for businesses, companies, contractors or organizations in the construction industry.

Purpose: Many people recognize the fact that women are basically poor at financial and retirement planning. A small number of scholars have explored the factors and situations that influence the level of awareness of pre-retirement women and men with regards to planning for their retirement years. In most developing countries, including Malaysia, there are more men in the younger segment of the population and more women in the older segment, since women tend to live longer than men due to having jobs of relatively lower risk, their behaviors, and activities. Research design, data and methodology: Given that it is hard to predict whether they will be healthy in old age, women may require additional resources to obtain the care and assistance that they need. The transition from career life into retirement is a long process for people to go through. Some may be able to prepare for the next stage of life, and some may not be able to prepare due to personal reasons. Planning for future retirement is important because it will affect the quality of a woman's life after a certain age. Results: Without proper planning, women may face financial instability, depression, and poor psychological well-being. However, many women are unaware of their financial status or do not know their family's financial status, such as tracking the main income, budget, and expenses, financial commitments and have no proper record of assets owned, loans owed, or updated loan balances. Conclusions: The findings of this research have led to the conclusion that pre-retiree women are likely to regard their retirement savings as sufficient without realizing that they should have at least several types of savings instead of just one, and the grave consequences of not having any savings at all for their retirement years.

Multilayer sub-contracting is a significant practice among the world, including Hong Kong. When a principal contractor secured a project from a developer, the specific jobs will usually be breaking down and sub-contractors with the lowest bid [1]. The adoption of multilayer sub-contracting has been a controversy issue which is considered as a two-side blade. While certain studies have been carried out to examine both the contributions, damages and improvements for multi-layer subcontracting, the construction industry and researchers are still waiting for a solid measure to enhance the system. Hence, this research attempts to study the advantages, disadvantages, conducts a comparison between single and multilayer sub-contracting and measures of current Hong Kong construction industry based on literature review, questionnaire and in-depth interviews. To achieve the objectives, Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) and total weighted score methods are adopted to examine and rank the criterion. The findings of this study provide a good basis for understanding the major reasons and problems caused by the adoption of multilayer sub-contracting. Besides, the identified safety perspective explores a new perspective regarding to issues of multi-layer subcontracting, which will serve as a solid foundation for further research to enhance safety performance. Finally, the findings of measurements towards improvement of multilayer sub-contracting will also provide a solidsolution for construction industry.

학교는 좋은 직장에 들어가기 위한 취업 준비의 장으로 전락하고, 학생들은 남들보다 많은 스팩(자격, 인증, 어학실력 등)을 쌓고 취업재수를 하는 기현상이 일상화되기에 이르렀다. 그러다 직업을 갖게 되면, 다행히 평생동안 한 직장을 다닌 경우도 있다. 그러나 많은 경우 적성과 맞지 않는 직장을 참고 다닌 사람도 있고, 참지 못하고 여러 직장을 떠도는 사람도 있다. 이와같이 직업에 불만족하는 원인 중의 하나는 직업과 적성이 맞지 않은 것이다. 물론 그간 많은 조직에서 적성검사를 실시하면서 진로설계 지도를 해왔다. 그러나 적절한 직업을 찾아주는 데에는 한계가 있었다. 이에 본 연구는 보다 합리적이고 과학적인 대안으로서 플랫폼 모형을 제시했다. 본 모형은 빅데이터와 인공지능을 활용하여 개인의 특성을 보다 잘 파악한 다음 다양한 직업 중 그 특성에 부합하는 직업을 선별적으로 제안하고 멘토의 컨설팅 및 현장 경험을 기반으로 적절한 직업대안을 선택하고 설계해나가도록 하는 9개 모듈(하위시스템)로 구성되어 있다.

본 연구는 OECD 30개국의 2000-2017년 데이터를 사용하여 20대 초반과 후반 청년실업률의 설명요인을 분석하여 한국의 청년실업률이 일본에 비해 높은 이유를 규명하는 한편, 일본의 청년실업 대책이 한국에 주는 시사점을 모색하였다. 전체 실업률, 각 연령대의 인구비중, GDP 성장률, 임금근로자 비중, 고령화율, 파트타임근로자 비중 등이 청년실업에 유의한 상관을 갖는 설명변수인 것으로 나타났으며, 20대 청년인구 비중의 감소는 청년실업 해소에 도움을 주지 못하는 것으로 나타났다. 한국은 임금근로자 비중이 낮아 일본에 비해 불리한 환경이었으며, 일본에 비해 부족한 대기업 일자리, 대기업과 중소기업 간의 과도한 임금 격차도 한국의 청년실업이 높은 이유를 설명하는 요인인 것으로 보인다. 따라서 이와 같은 장기적이고 구조적인 문제의 해소를 위해 지속적으로 노력하는 한편, 일본의 정책사례 등을 참고하여 단기적인 청년일자리 미스매치(mismatch) 문제를 해결하는 대책을 적극적으로 추진할 필요가 있겠다.

The study examined work and family life of married women employed in a manufacturing industry. Data were gathered from the use of face-to-face interview method from a sample of 230 married working women. The major findings of this study can be summarized as follows: (1) Most of the respondents found the work repetitive and unappealing, with the double burden of a paid work and housework. Thus, it is necessary for the government to implement social policies for married working women, such as establishment of various child care centers, part-time jobs, and dissemination of egalitarian sex-role attitudes. (2) More than half of the respondents were born in rural areas and immigrated to the urban sectors, forming a nuclear family structure. Most of these women were married with love, but some of them could not have a marriage ceremony because of the economic reasons. Thus, it may be necessary to increase the service centers to offer a free marital ceremony. (3) About 30% of the respondents answered they left their preschool aged children unattended, after dismissing from a kindergarden on a private institution. It was shown that working women, even though they were in charge of child-rearing, did not have an effective mechanism to control or protect their children while they were away from home. Most of them frequently used material compensations from their children in order to make up their absence at home. (4) It was found that the strategy for working women to decrease a dual-role conflict is to make a hierachy on the work they to do and to do only basic housework for everyday life and to do the rest of work on a off-day.

Background: Return to work after treatment completion is important for both cancer survivors and society. Financial distress is one of the factors that may influence the return to work in cancer survivors. However, this relationship has not been well investigated. This study aimed to determine the rate of return to work and its relation to financial distress among Iranian cancer survivors. Materials and Methods: This descriptive-correlational study was undertaken among 165 cancer survivors who completed their initial treatments and had no signs of active cancer. The Return to Work questionnaire and Financial Distress/Financial Well-Being Scale were used for data collection. Data were analyzed using SPSS statistical software. Results: After initial treatments, 120 cancer survivors (72%) had returned to work, of which 50 patients (42%) had returned to full-time work and 70 (58%) reduced their work hours and returned to part-time work. Cancer survivors also reported high levels of financial distress. In addition, the financial distress was lower among patients who had returned completely to work, in comparison to patients who had quit working for cancer-related reasons (p= 0.001) or returned to work as part-time workers (p=0.001). Conclusions: The findings showed that a high percent of Iranian cancer survivors had not returned to their jobs or considerably reduced working hours after treatment completion. Accordingly, due to high levels of financial distress experienced by participants and its relation to return to work, designing rehabilitation programs to facilitate cancer survivor return to work should be considered.

Objectives: The purpose of the this study is to investigate parenting stress of married dental hygienists having preschool and school aged children. Methods: A self-reported questionnaire was completed by 242 married dental hygienists from September to December, 2015 via e-mail and ordinary mail. The questionnaire consisted of demographics, job-related characteristics, family life satisfaction, and parenting stress. The data were analyzed using Stata 13.0 program. Results: As for job-related characteristics, 36.6% of the subjects answered 'not possible' in work hour flexibility. The reasons why family-work balance is difficult were 'parenting and education(58.7%)' and 'burden of family-work balance(32.4%)'. Family life satisfaction was 3.03, and parenting stress was 2.41. Parenting stress gets higher if their children are younger, monthly income is lower, and mother/father's age are lower. And parenting stress becomes higher if their career as dental hygienists is less, they are contract worker, and frequency to change jobs is higher. Concerning the reason why work-family balance is difficult, parenting stress is found to be high when they choose 'parenting and education', 'burdens of work-family balance', and 'relationship in workplace'. Family life satisfaction reduced parenting stress. According to the results of multiple linear regression analysis, frequency to change job influences parenting stress. Conclusions: Parenting stress increases turnover and career interruption of married dental hygienists. It is hard to improve work environment without policy support. It will be necessary to establish policy for employed mothers and create a work atmosphere where the policy can be utilized without difficulty.

본 연구의 목적은 사회적으로 고립된 남성 독거노인의 생애사적 접근을 통해 사회적으로 고립되기까지의 과정과 삶을 심도 있게 이해하기 위한 탐색적 연구이다. 연구방법으로는 질적연구 생애사 방법의 하나인 'Mandelbaum(1973)의 삶의 영역(Dimensions), 전환점(turnings), 적응(adaptation)'이라는 개념틀로 분석하였다. 본 연구결과에 따르면, 사회적으로 고립된 노인들은 가족 관계 단절, 빈곤, 열악한 일자리, 건강악화 등의 복합적인 어려움을 경험하면서 사회적으로 고립된 것으로 나타났다. 구체적으로 삶의 영역에서 고립 전의 원가족과의 삶에서 부모와의 원만하지 못한 관계나 부재, 가족의 빈곤, 주위 사람들과의 원만하지 못한 관계 등의 경험이 있었다. 노동시장에서 막노동, 배달, 장사, 허드렛일 등의 좋지 않은 일자리를 갖고 있었다. 전환점의 영역에서는 외환위기, 부모의 이혼과 죽음, 배우자 외도, 경제적 어려움 등의 여러 원인으로 원가족과 배우자와의 분리로 인한 가족과의 단절을 경험하게 되었다. 적응의 영역에서 참여자들은 삶의 각 전환점에서 변화된 삶을 받아들이며 자신의 역할을 수행하면서 타협하고 절충하면서 적절히 적응하려는 노력을 해나가고 있었다. 국민기초수급자라는 사회적 안전망 제도에 들어왔고 그 안전망을 지키기 위해 한곳에 머무르는 지금의 삶이 더 안정적인 삶을 살게 만들었으며 개인적인 취미생활과 네트워크를 통한 대리만족으로 적응하고 있음을 밝혔다. 이는 기존연구에서 고립된 노인들이 우울증과 고독사의 위험에 심하게 노출되었다는 연구결과와 다소 다른 결과이다. 하지만 상대적으로 고립감이 낮은 노인을 인터뷰한 본 연구의 특성을 동시에 감안해야 할 것이다. 이 같은 연구 결과를 바탕으로 여러 실천적 정책적 함의를 제시했다.
