This study examines the present conditions and antecedent factors affecting helping professions' cultural competence, focusing on such groups as social workers, teachers, nurses, and social work civil servants. The analysis of data shows that teachers' cultural competence is the highest, social workers, social work civil servants, and nurses are descending order. The study also found significant antecedent factors: (1)individual antecedent factors are age, education, and foreign language skill; (2)work-related antecedent factors are multicultural working hours and working duration; (3)organizational antecedent factors are education/training and organizational support.

사회적기업이란 영리기업과 비영리기업의 중간형태로서 사회적기업육성법에서는 취약계층에게 사회서비스 또는 일자리를 제공하여 지역주민의 삶의 질을 높이는 등의 사회적목적을 추구하면서 재화 및 서비스의 생산 혹은 판매 등의 영업활동을 수행하는 기업으로서 고용노동부 장관의 인증을 받은 기업을 말한다. 현재 사회적기업은 2019년 3월말 기준 2,154개의 기업이 활동하고 있다. 사회적기업의 양적증가에 따라서 사회적기업가 리더십과 조직의 존재가치를 설명하는 조직유효성이 중요하다. 조직유효성의 증가하기 위해서, 조직유효성에 미치는 다양한 영향요인들 중에서 어떤 요인이 더 많은 영향을 미치는 가에 대한 연구가 필요한 시점이다. 기존연구는 사회적기업 조직유효성에 대한 조직문화, 리더십 등 조직 관련 개별요인과 조직유효성과의 관계 파악에 한정하고 있으나 본 연구에서는 소셜미션을 추구하는 사회적가치와 지속가능성을 위한 경제적가치를 추구하는 사회적기업의 특성에 따른 역할 스트레스가 조직유효성에 미치는 영향 뿐 아니라 리더십, 의사소통, 조직문화의 개별적 요인 뿐 아니라 통합적인 적용을 하고자 한다.

This study aims to identify constructs of cultural competency specifically relevant to the Korean society and to test its reliability and validity among human service workers. For the purpose of the study, authors conducted focus group interviews and conferences with human service workers to draw the concept of cultural competency. Further, this study conducted to two separate pilot tests with 20 social workers with practice experiences in order to clarify descriptions and relevance of scale items. Based on the literature review on the concept of cultural competency and analysis of focus group interviews, 40 items were initially constructed and then were reduced to a 32-item scale after two separate pilot studies. Meantime, suggestions made by an advisory group were also reflected in the scale development process. Finally, one hundred ninety four workers in social service agencies were recruited to evaluate the relevance of the scale items in a 5 point Likert scale. Through exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis, 4 main factors were identified: 1) competency to use culturally relevant skills, 2) cultural awareness and sensitivity, 3) cultural knowledge, and 4) efforts to overcome cultural differences. These factors were consistent with sub-concepts of cultural competency in other studies. Confirmatory factor analysis also showed that the model fitness was at the high level and convergent analysis with the similar scale also showed high correlations. Internal consistency also remained at a high level. Based on the results, implication for social work practice and education were discussed.

This study focused on the reality that the necessity to professionalize women marriage immigrants is increasing. The purpose of this study is to analyze the determinants of rural female marriage immigrants' entry into the specialized field. The factors are categorized into social and institutional factors. Based on the labor market segmentation theory, which finds the imbalance of the labor market in terms of institutional and structural factors, factors affecting rural female marriage immigrants entering managerial or professional occupations were set as social relation factors, cultural adaptation factors, and policy support experience factors. As a result of analysis, they are all found to have a statistically significant effect on rural female marriage immigrants entering managerial or professional occupations. The policy implications are that for rural immigrant women to grow into professionals, social relations and cultural learning capabilities, including language skills, need to be strengthened, as well as continued governmental support.

This study explores how married migrant women in Korea create social capital in their everyday lives, and how their social capital influences cultural acculturation. This study performs a structural equation model, using two-year data of female migrant women. The results suggest that network elements, including official supports from public organizations and unofficial supports from personal ties, contribute to creation of perceptual elements, including social trust, community involvement and relations. Also, these two elements of social capital have positive impact on acculturation of married migrant women in Korea. The longitudinal analysis provides a basic understanding of the creation of social capital and the relationship between social capital and acculturation of married migrant women and also clearly suggests the importance of public supports rather than personal supports from family or friends.

이 연구에서는 1970년부터 2002년까지의 시계열 자료를 이용하여 우리나라의 사회경제상황이 이혼율 증가에 어떤 영향을 미쳤는지를 분석하였다. Land and Felson(1976)의 거시 동태 사회지표 모형을 바탕으로 경제상황과 남녀 성비, 그리고 이혼 관련법의 개정 등을 분석모형에 포함시켰다. 경제상황에는 여성의 경제활동 참여율, 실업률 그리고 1인당 국내총생산으로 측정된 소득수준을 포함시켰다. 분석의 결과는 실업률과 소득수준이 이혼율의 증가 추이에 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타나고 있다. 1인당 국내총생산의 수준이 높을수록 이혼율도 증가하는 분석의 결과는 경제적 호황기에는 이혼율이 증가하고 경제적 쇠퇴기에는 이혼율이 감소한다는 선행연구의 주장을 실증적으로 뒷받침해주고 있다. 그러나 실업률이 증가할수록 이혼율도 높아지는 것으로 분석되고 있는데 이는 혼인의 결정 요인과 관련한 남성 중심의 가설을 뒷받침하고 있다. 이러한 연구의 결과는 경제상황을 구성하는 하위요인(소득수준과 실업률)이 이혼율의 변화에 미치는 영향의 기제가 다름을 보여주고 있다. 사회경제상황 자체보다는 경제상황의 변화가 이혼율의 변화에 어떤 영향을 미치는지를 분석하기 위하여 회귀분석의 모형에 변화율을 변수로 포함시킬 경우에는 1977년의 가족법 개정만이 이혼율의 변화율에 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 분석에서 이혼율에 영향을 미치는 모든 거시적 요인을 통제하지 못하고 있는데, 이는 이 연구의 내적 타당도를 저해하는 요인이 된다. 우리나라의 경우 이혼율은 경제적 상황보다는 오히려 문화적 또는 사회적 요인에 의해서 결정될 수도 있기 때문에 이혼율을 결정짓는 경제적, 문화적, 그리고 사회적 요인들을 모두 포함하는 분석 모형의 개발과 실증 자료를 이용한 검증은 향후의 연구 과제로 남는다.

The purpose of this study was to identify the individual, emotional, parent, and social environmental factors on career decision-making in multicultural youth. To this end, 1,146 multicultural adolescents who were enrolled in high school and whose fathers were Korean were selected as subjects of analysis as data for the 7th year of the Multicultural Youth Panel (MCAPS). As a result, first, it was found that self-esteem, which was an individual factor, and adaptation to school life and multicultural acceptance, which are social and environmental factors, positive effect career decision-making. Second, it was found that depression as an emotional factor and neglect as a parent factor had a negative effect on career decision-making. However, it was confirmed that stress as an individual factor, and parent-child communication as a parent factor did not affect career decision-making. These results are meaningful in that they provided basic data on how to deal with each factor and prevent multicultural youths from wandering in advance without deciding their career paths.

The purpose of this qualitative study was to identify cultural factors among older Americans that could influence them to accept new welfare technologies. This study also explored how social and cultural-based plans could increase the acceptability of welfare technologies for improving the quality of life of older adults in the future. In-depth interviews were conducted with ten professionals who work with older adults. The collected interview data were subsequently analyzed using a two-cycle open coding process. The data analysis generated 29 codes that were organized into 7 primary codes, or categories, and 22 secondary codes nested within the primary codes. Several themes were identified: individualism, family-oriented culture, pragmatism, low-context culture, privacy, fun-seeking culture, and a less hierarchical culture. These findings will inform the development of a future survey to examine the relationship between older adults' intentions when using technology and socio-cultural factors in community settings. In order to explore the different impact levels of the cultural factors found in this study, the future study will need to include measures for identifying socio-cultural variations among individuals in one country or across countries.
