The purpose of this study was to investigate competency and employ ability of labor market for college students who are majoring in sports and recreation studies. It was revealed that the stanine score 2 achievement is 1 college, the stanine score 3 achievement is 11 colleges, the stanine score 4 achievement is 32 colleges, the stanine score 5 achievement is 15 colleges, and the stanine score 6 achievement is 5 colleges. This result indicated that the colleges locating in large cities or providing with certification of the secondary school teaching are performed highly academic achievement record. In an analysis of competency test among students who are majoring in sports & recreation, or physical education, the mean scores of physical, social, emotional, cognitive, and management competencies among the students are 3.88, 3.61, 3.52, 3.30, and 3.21, respectively. This study is about preparation: getting it right at the beginning; giving the right training and educating to the right people to create an effective workforce for the delivery of sports and recreation market. This understanding, can be used as a guide to policies and possible actions related to training and recruitment.

This paper investigates the characteristics of Japanese vocational education and training(VET) system and its recent changes with regard to the labour market changes under the long-term economic depression. The employment system model of Marsden(1999) is used as an analytical framework. By the review of 'the debate of intellectual skill', it is pointed out that the fundamental characteristic of Japanese VET system lies in forming multi-functional workers by the internal promotion in connection with the OJT-focused enterprise training along the job-competency rank system. In this system 'the skill as work-competency' is not institutionalised. By the long-term depression this type of internal labour market (ILM) has been under serious changes. By the policy analyses it is made clear that the direction of its change is not toward the collapse of the ILM. A series of labor market and VET policies does aim at sustaining the ILM by the introduction of the unified job qualification system, which is expected to institutionalise the widening external labour market into the craft-based labour market.

This study analyzed the effects of labor unions on the wages of Korean female workers using 'Korean Labor and Income Panel Study.' In the estimation we considered the self-selection bias due to the women's labor force participation decision and a plausible non-response bias from not answering the question about the company size in terms of number of employees. By fixed effect estimation we found that labor unions in Korea do not increase the wages of both the female union workers and non-union workers who work at a company in which a union is organized comparing to female workers who work at company without a union. This results indicates that female workers who work in the company with labor union tend to have unobserved characteristics that are positively correlated with both wages and the probability to enter the company with labor union. We also came to the conclusion that there is no free-rider effects of non-union workers.

The present study analyzes the main factor having an effect on the convergence dental hygienist's self-esteem through the survey to them. A self-leadership and professional self-conception show meaningful result with higher score in the group with higher self-respect than that of lower one(p<.001). Also the higher hygienist's self-esteem, the higher clinic practice ability(p<.01). There is negative correlation with self-esteem in emotional labor(p<.01) and exhaustion(p<.01). However, the positive correlations are presented in self-leadership(p<.01), professional self-conception(p<.01) and clinic practice ability(p<.01) with self-respect. The factors influenced on self-esteem are clinic practice ability(p<.05) and exhaustion(p<.01). In results, the organized convergence program and education considering self-esteem in the hospital should be accomplished systemically to enhance the clinic practice ability of each hygienist.

The aim of this study was to investigate the priority partner countries for technical vocational education and training (TVET), using the cluster analysis. The partner countries were prioritized for finance supports and knowledge sharing. We had also redesigned the TVET assistance process as well as reflected the needs of recipient countries for TVET. Especially, by redesigning the methodological support process, we also increased the effectiveness and efficiency of TVET official development assistance. In research method, potential 24 priority partner countries have been designated by the international development cooperation committee and selection criteria of international cooperation agencies and banks. Then, we conducted the cluster analysis, using three main variables: economic factor, labor market factor, education factor. In results, we clustered four and three types of the priority partner countries for TVET. In future, we suggested the new approach for selecting the priority partner countries in terms of employment and labor as well as non-designated partner countries, which will need to cooperate for TVET.

Using the College Scholastic Ability Test of year 1995, the paper investigates effects of classroom peers on a student's test scores. It exploits exogenous assignment of students across different classrooms within a school under the leveling policy in 1990s. The empirical results reveal strong impacts of peers on individual students. Negative effects of low-performing peers exceed positive effects of high-performing peers. Such a structure of peer interactions has important implications for ability grouping vs. mixing debates in Korea.

This paper exploited the data reported in BK21 program of professors' research performances and analyzed the effects of reputational concerns on professors' research performances. According to the established theory of reputation effects in incentive provision, a professor's research incentive gets stronger if one's ability is less known, and one's colleagues' abilities are better known. We confirmed this theoretical hypothesis of reputation effects. Moreover, we found that a professor's research incentive was larger under inter-generational grouping in terms of age distribution and homogeneous grouping in terms of ability uncertainty.

현재, 눈에 띄게 전개되고 있는 국제 경쟁의 성패는 한 나라의 노동생산의 질, 생산환경의 능력에 따라 크게 좌우되고 있다. 또 현재와 같이 정보화 사회로의 급진전은 정보의 지적 생산의 증가를 촉진하고 있다. 따라서 지적 정보처리의 도구(컴퓨터)에 대한 최적화 설계 및 경제적인 개발, 활용능력의 국민적 균일화는 고품질의 국가노동생산을 추구하는 21세기의 국가지표가 될 것임에 틀림없다. 이 논문 내용은 다음과 같다. 첫째로 첨단기술과 기술혁신이 갖는 의미와 역사적 배경을 논하여, 한국의 시대적, 사회적 환경과 위치를 진단한다. 둘째는 사회의 변천역사에 맞추어 한국의 장래를 예견하는 입장에서 우리가 안고 있는 국민적 과제는 무엇이며, 컴퓨터기술(설계기술, 이용기술)이 국민에 대한 봉사기술로서 어떻게 정착되어, 활용되어야 할 것인가에 대해 논한다.

세계 선진국들은 이미 고령화시대를 대비하는 많은 움직임을 보이고 있다. 우리나라도 이젠 점점 고령화의 진전에 따라 경제적으로 많은 영향을 주고 있음을 인식하고 있다. 특히 그 중 노동공급이 축소, 즉 생산 가능인구(15∼64세)의 감소는 기업차원에서 큰 문제가 되고 있다. 2000년 전체 인구 중 생산 가능인구(15∼64세) 비중은 71.7%이고, 고령사회로 전환되는 2030년에는 64.6%로 감소할 것으로 예상되고 있다.(중략)

First, The flow into and out of unemployment has been increasing considerably too since the late 1997. Moreover, about half of job changes involve career changes associated with industrial and occupational changes which workers work for. Workers who switch industries and occupations significantly suffer greater wage losses than observed similar workers who find new jobs in their pre-turnover industry or occupation. These findings imply that labor mobility is more likely to cause losses in accumulated skill of workers. Second, this study compared the wage return to past training when a worker remains with an employer with the wage return to past training when a worker moves to a new employer. Surprisingly, training provided by previous employers has significantly positive wage effect. These findings that the skill acquired by employer- provided training is transferable across some firms. Third, this study finds that the likelihood of sectoral mobility decreases with training received in the current industry. It gives an evidence of the industry- specific training. Based on these findings, this paper suggest the way of dividing the costs of benefits of training among employers within their sector to prevent under-investment in training.
