시설원예는 노동집약적이며 순자르기, 눈따기, 유인, 열매솔기, 수확 등 기계화하기 어려운 작업이 많다. 또 대부분의 작업체계에서 항상 운반작업이 이루어지고 있으며 시설 내 여러가지 작업단계 중 운반작업에 소모되는 노동력 비율이 매우 높다. 그리고 다량의 수확물을 바구니나 용기로 소량 운반하기 때문에 필연적으로 보행거리가 길어지고 규모의 확대에 따라 노동강도가 크게된다. (중략)

This study is to analyze experiences and perceptions of care workers for enhanced user choice since the introduction of voucher in Korea. The analysis shows that as it has increased the influence of service users on care workers'employment, dismissal, labor intensity, and so on, more and more care workers appear to experience 'labor alienation'such as weakened position in the labor domain, the sense of loss and frustration in the meaning of work, and identity confusion as a care work. Because the labor alienation felt by them possibly has a negative impact on quality of social service, it suggests to address improving service users'rights as well as protecting human rights and rights to work of care workers to provide a high quality social service.

인쇄기기의 경우 인쇄속도가 시간당 1만장2만장을 넘어섰다. 인쇄속도가 빨라지는 만큼 인쇄용지도 점점 고급화되고 있다. 이처럼 인쇄에 직접적인 영향을 미치는 환경은 점점 고급화되고 있는 반면 인쇄근로자들의 근무환경은 그 속도를 따라가지 못하고 있는 것이 현실이다. 아직까지도 대부분의 업체들이 인쇄작업을 할 때 많은 노동력을 필요로 하고 있다. 기계작동시에는 큰 문제가 없으나 물건이송이나 종이 뒤집기 작업 등에서 고강도의 노동력을 필요로 하기 때문에, 남성 직원만을 뽑을 수 밖에 없다. 하지만 유럽의 경우 여성들이 인쇄사에서 작업을 하는 것을 종종 볼 수 있다. 이 같은 현상은 많은 보조기구들이 있어 여성 혼자 작업을 해도 무리가 없기 때문이다. 우리나라에서도 이러한 작업환경개선을 위해 다양한 노력들이 시도되고 있다. 그중의 하나가 노동부의 고용환경개선지원금과 한국산업안전공단의 클린사업지원, 근골격지원, 유해환경해소 사업 등이 그것이다. 이에 본지에서는 노동부와 한국산업안전공단에서 진행하고 있는 노동환경개선을 위한 사업들에 대해 알아보고, 인쇄사에 보조기기를 납품하고 있는 업체와 실제 보조기기를 사용하고 있는 업체를 만나보았다.

The regulation of emotion is known to mediate the relationship between emotion-relevant differences in individuals and their life outcomes. This study attempted to include a situational factor in addition to the mediation model and investigated whether this conditional component changed the patterns of indirect effects. The researchers recruited 180 emotional laborers working in diverse domains and used a questionnaire to ascertain their negative affectivity, cognitive reappraisal, emotional exhaustion, and the intensity of negative comments they usually received from customers. The results of the conditional indirect effect analysis revealed the positive indirect influence of negative affectivity on emotional exhaustion through cognitive reappraisal when emotional labors receive highly negative comments from customers (high intensity of the situation). Similarly, negative indirect effects were found when emotional labors receive slightly negative comments from customers (low intensity of the situation). The outcomes of this study suggest that cognitive reappraisal can mediate to decrease emotional exhaustion in contexts that arouse more intensive negative emotions; it can also mediate to increase emotional exhaustion in contexts that arouse less intensive negative emotions. The implications of this study include the importance of integrating individual differences with situational factors. The study also provides information about the distinctiveness of groups of emotional laborers.

This paper adopts a distributive performance process model of in-work poverty based on labor markets, households, and welfare states and analyzes the 4-11 waves of the Korean Welfare Panel Study during 2008-15. Previous studies on in-work poverty have focused on the definitions and concepts of in-work poverty by analyzing employment and unemployment persistence and repetition dynamics, but rarely paid attention to institutional distributive performance. In this regard, this study preforms a stepwise analysis of labor markets, households, and welfare states as a process of income generation in labor markets, satisfaction of welfare needs and income pooling at households, and deduction of social security contribution and income tax as well as receipt of public transfer income at welfare states. Results of empirical analysis show that in-work poverty had been on increase during 2008-11, followed by a decrease between 2012-15. At labor market stages, full time status had the most prominent impact on in-work poverty process, while status by employment and contract type have generated a huge variation as well. At household stages, household work intensity and number of earners contributed to reduction of in-work poverty, but the relations did not seen to be straightforward. However, welfare state played little role in lifting employees out of in-work poverty. In terms of institutional distributive process, in-work poverty was prevalent in either household-welfare state stage or labor market-household-welfare stage. Non-vulnerable group in terms of in-risk poverty was around 80% of the sample during the period of analysis, the size of which has remained constant.

근골격계 질환은 더 이상 사업주와 노동자간에 상호 책임을 미루거나, 윤리적인 비난으로 에너지를 소비할 한가한 문제가 아니다. 이미 노사간에 노동시간과 노동강도(부담)의 문제로 발전하고 있어 생산현장의 근본적이며 구체적인 문제와 연결되어 있다. 우리사회에서 가장 중요한 직업과 건강의 문제, 생산과 건강문제가 되었다. 따라서 의학적 측면에서의 접근은 매우 제한된 역할밖에 할 수 없는 상황에 와 있으며, 지금까지 의학적 관리프로그램의 적용은 일정한 한계를 드러내고 있다. 그럼에도 불구하고 근골격계의 신체적 고통과 이와 관련된 심리적 고통을 당하고 있는 노동자들은 의학적 도움을 요청하고 있으며, 기업 또한 여러 가지 의학적 관리를 통해서 이 문제를 해결하고자하는 노력을 기울이고 있다. 이러한 상황에서 이 글에서는 사업장에서 근골격계 질환의 의학적 관리를 위한 방안들을 제시하고자 한다.(중략)

Oriental melon (Cucumis melo L.) is generally cultivated on the ground by creeping culture. A farmer has a higher workload for training stems. This study was conducted to find out a new cultivation of oriental melon to reduce a workload and improve the quality of fruit. There were three treatments for training stem of oriental melon; upward stem growing, downward stem growing, control (creeping stem growing). The results of the plant growth and the net photosynthesis showed higher in upward stem growing. The root activity was higher in downward stem attract. The yield was not significant as 4,055kg/10a in upward stem attract and 3,983kg/10a in downward stem attract. According to the results of the ergonomic agricultural workload evaluation, in the case of the working posture, the working posture of creeping cultivation methods (squatting, bending) showed a higher risk level than the upward and downward cultivation methods. Therefore, it is recommended the upward stem attract of oriental melon is a new cultivation as well as an alternative method for creeping stem attract in terms of improving the plant growth and yield, and reducing the workload.

This study investigates the employment structure and the social safety net experience of the subcontracting cleaning workers in Korea, who have been main targets of the labor outsourcing despite the necessity and permanence of their labour. This study specifically focuses on the fact that these subcontracting cleaning workers are mostly female and in their old age, and analyzes how the combination of their age, gender, and employment structure leads to the (mis)match with the Korean social security system. Case study with in-dept interview method has been conducted to the old-aged female subcontracting cleaning workers in Korea. The result of this study is as follows. It was the income insecurity that led them to (re)enter the labour market, and the cleaning work was the almost the only wage work they could do considering their age and gender. Cleaning workers are mostly employed in the subcontracting company, and thus their labour contracts depend on the business contract period between the original and subcontracting company. Consequently, their employment relationship is mostly insecure unless they are guaranteed employment succession through the collective agreement of trade union. Moreover, it has been discovered that the employment insecurity due to the indirect employment relationship led to the poor labour conditions, low wage, and the exclusion from the social safety net.
