Workaholism refers to a state in which work is the center of self, a state in which other life other than work is deemed worthless, and a state in which one feels that his or her life ends when things get lost. There are concerns that South Korea's work-centered institutions, cultures and long-time labor practices expose workers to workaholism. This study identifies the prevalence of workaholism and its risk factors among workers using a representative sample from Korean Labor and Income Panel Study. The results of empirical analysis of the wide range of workaholism showed that 7.0% of Korean workers were work-addicts. Male, workers working long hours, daily workers, employers, the self-employed were more likely to be work-addicts. Those who think that workload is high beyond regular working hours are more likely to be work-addicts. These results were also confirmed by regression analysis. It suggests that policies to shorten working hours and strengthen job and income stability can reduce the risk of workaholism and balance between work and life.

This paper investigates the relationship between the occupational gender wage gap and the proportion of high wage earning female workers in Korea. The main idea is that an increase in the number of high wage earning female workers in the workplace could lead to a decrease in the gender wage gap by eradicating the prejudice or reducing the statistical discrimination on female workers. We constructed a panel dataset by using the raw data from the Korean Survey Report on Labor Conditions by Employment between 2009 and 2016. The result shows that greater presences of high wage earning female workers in male dominant occupations have statistically significant negative impacts on residual gender earning dispersion.

Delphi methodology was used with 30 experts. Three-round Delphi surveys were analyzed using Kendall's coefficient of concordance W analysis, appropriateness for reliability of consensus opinion. Data were analyzed respectively by descriptive statistics using SPSS Win version 20.0. Results of this study showed that standardized contents were classified with 3 domains and 83 contents, then 46 contents were selected from Kendall's W analysis and weight rank. Finally, 37 contents have taken as standards contents for prevention education.

본 연구에서는 농업벤처기업의 활성화를 위해 경영현황 및 애로사항, 지원 우선순위 등에 대해 조사하고 분석하였다. 이를 위해 국내 농업벤처기업 103개소를 대상으로 벤처기업협회에서 실시한 설문조사 결과를 분석하였으며, 일반벤처기업 2,098개소, 농림어업 벤처기업 67개소를 대상으로 실시한 벤처기업정밀실태조사 자료를 토대로 비교 분석 연구를 수행하여 다음과 같은 주요 결과를 도출하였다. 첫째, 일반벤처 대비 높은 금융비용과 부채비율, 신규자금에 대한 높은 정부 의존도, 자금조달의 어려움과 벤처 투자 유치 실적이 저조함으로 인해 농업벤처기업의 재정 여건은 매우 열악한 환경에 있는 것으로 나타났다. 이를 극복하기 위한 방안으로 농산물 중부가가치가 높고 수출 가능한 품목을 선별하여 육성하는 투자 방안이 필요하며, 정부 보조금과 지원금 매칭 펀드 방식의 혼합 지원 및 크라우드 펀딩의 활용 검토가 필요하다. 둘째, 농업벤처는 일반벤처에 비해 R&D투자보다는 설비투자 비중이 높으나 연구개발 자금지원을 가장 필요한 방안 1순위로 꼽고 있으며, 자가 기술을 활용하여 비즈니스 모델화하는 데 어려움이 많은 것으로 파악되었다. 또한 제조업 기업 비중이 63.2%를 차지하고 있어 사업 분야의 편중이 높은 것으로 나타났다. 이와 같은 결과를 고려하여 해외시장을 고려한 제품 연구개발 및 생산원가 경쟁력 확보, 그리고 관련 분야 투자유치와 고용 창출이 필요하다. 또한 개발된 기술의 사업화 지원을 위해 투자 기반 사업화 추진과 제조업 외 다양한 분야의 육성이 필요하다. 셋째, 사업규모가 적고 기업이 안정화되지 못해 신규인력 확보 및 유지에 어려움을 겪고 있는 것으로 나타났다. 인력확보의 활성화를 위한 방안으로는 지속적인 농업 인력 감소에 대응하여 스마트농업 가능 인력의 양성이 필요하며, 농업벤처 지원 교육의 체계화와 효율화를 위한 컨트롤타워가 필요하다. 넷째, 국내외 판로개척에 대한 애로사항이 가장 높은 것으로 나타났다. 이를 위한 지원 방안으로 관 주도의 수출지원정책에서 민간참여 위주로 정책 방향 변경이 필요하며, 수출대상국에 적합한 전략적 농산물 및 가공식품 생산이 필요하다.
