The purpose of this study is to examine the moderated mediating effect of family cohesion in the relationships among work-family conflict, job stress, and turnover intension of female low-wage workers. Participants included 190 low-wage workers whose monthly salary was less than 2 million Korean won (approximately $1,900). The results are as follows. First, the work-family conflict was associated with turnover intension. Second, job stress mediate the relationships between work-family conflict and turnover intension, and family cohesion have the moderated mediating effect among these variables. These results suggested that there is a need to enhance policies and programs for work-family compatibility to decrease work-family conflicts and job stress and to strengthen family cohesion to reduce the turnover of female low-wage workers.

The purpose of this study is to analyze the disparity in on-the-job training between regular and non-regular workers and to compare the wage effects of on-the-job training. Using the Korean micro data from the Programme for the International Assessment of Adult Competencies(PIAAC) published by OECD, Propensity Score Method(PSM) is applied to overcome the endogeneity problem. The average treatment effect(ATT) on the training participation is analyzed, using non-regular workers as treatment group and regular workers as comparison group. Odds ratios of non-regular employees' training participation compared to regular employees shows 0.67 times after constructing matching sample and this means that non-regular workers are facing a disadvantageous training opportunity compared to regular workers. In order to estimate the wage effect of on-the-job training, the average treatment effect(ATT) of on-the-job training on average wages for regular workers and non-regular workers is estimated respectively. I find insignificant wage effect from on-the-job training among regular workers and significant positive effect on non-regular worker's wage from on-the-job training.

Construction is a typical labor-dependent industry. However, problems related to wage payment, which directly affects the livelihood of workers, have caused other problems in maintaining skilled workers, such as increasing the turnover rate of skilled workers, resulting in a shortage of skilled workers. Against this backdrop, this study was conducted to develop measures to improve the conventional wage payment systems in order to prevent skilled workers from leaving their jobs and to maintain them as workers. It is necessary to make the registration of non-registered small-sized construction companies in Korea mandatory, and to introduce means by which construction companies that hire workers through non-registered agents can be penalized. In addition, the project bank account (PBA) system used in the domestic banking sector can be benchmarked in operating payment systems, an approach that is expected to effectively prevent delayed wage payments in the construction industry.

The purpose of this study is to examine the mediated moderating effect of resilience in the relationships among job stress, work-family conflict, and depression of female low-wage workers. For this purpose, a total of 190 female workers with monthly wage of less than two million won were analyzed. The results showed that the mediated effect of work-family conflict in the relationships between job stress and depression, and the mediated moderating effect of resilience. Thus, policy makers and practitioners should develop mental health program alleviating job stress and depression among female low-wage workers, enhance family-friendly policy and program necessary for work family balance, furthermore, develop occupational welfare program to promote resilience.

This study stemmed from the notion that effects of wage peak system were investigated exclusively on management efficiency from the perspective of workplace. As a way to overcome the limitation of previous studies, This study examined the effects of wage peak system on age integration of senior workers. Quantitative analyses with data from workplace panel survey were executed. Results revealed that percent of workers aged 50 and over was significantly higher in work places that implemented wag peak system than that of those did not. Also Average year of employment for full time workers was higher in work places that implemented wag peak system than that of those did not, suggesting that wage peak system was related to labor market integration of aged workers in some ways.

Much of the dual labor markets literature is devoted to exploring the reasons as th why the markets are segmented along the lines where the observed wage differentials are not a result of underlying skill differentials . ; and why otherwise comparable workers different the duration of their job tenure and incidence of unemployment. the logic of competitive economics denies the possibility of equally skilled workers being treated differently in labor markets. The model presented in this paper shows that workers could be segregated quite simply due to the structure of information and job-match quality, even though they are the same in terms of productivity. In general, the model predicts that observability of a worker's productivity and the extent of match specificity are key features of labor market segmentation. An important implication is that the negative from the past labor market experienes, sometimes called as hysteresis effect, helps to restrict mobility of workers among different sectors and results in perpetuation of unemployment in the secondary sector. The model also provides an explanation of the efficient wage scheme in the primary sector.

This study performs analyzing a status of labor cost policy of public construction project and labor management information system in Korea for improving of labor cost survey in the construction market. The outcome of this study will be helpful to build a labor cost information system included the information of man-hour, regular pay and benefit, total wage. And if these result is integrated with the information of worker's career, qualification, skill level, it is confidently expected that the survey of labor cost is reliable.

Flextime system labor problem appeared by social issue going through a late 97s economic crisis. The most important thing among gravity is that act for factor who do to magnify gulf between rich and poor because do so that may polarize labor market at central part and neighborhood and makes preservation of society integration hardly social economy enemy of flextime system worker's spread. Furthermore, new economy surrounding has attribute that deepen uncertainty social bipolarization according as order by 21th century information-oriented society, globalization, knowledge base economy. Therefore, role of the country that control spread of flextime system in fixed level is more important first of all and application of employment insurance may do that have important meaning and social deliquescence.

The wages of migrant workers about the rational discrimination and equal treatment have been treated partially. Foreign workers are also discussed in terms of the productivity and rational discrimination, but it is very limited. The Business community has been persisting that the minimum wage system for foreign workers should be excluded. Unlike local workers, migrant workers are relatively in that position with limited work place, a limited period of time to provide labor for the purpose of wage, in that points, the gap of the reality and the laws surrounding wages can be identified. This is expressed the conflicts and distress between employers and workers. Meanwhile, wages and equal treatment on the part of the study have been discussed, but it is hard to be organized clearly. Be related to this study, it will have a limitation. In this paper, since the employment permit system was enforced, the status of wages and distress and the factor of conflicts between the employer and the foreign worker examine and suggest the improvement plan for the law regarding wage.
