This study examines the effect of pay dispersion on labor productivity by focusing on the inflow of newcomers into the tournament and the outflow of stayers from the tournament. According to tournament theory, the expansion of pay dispersion within the organization contributes to enhanced organizational performance by attracting high performers externally and by removing low performers internally within the organization. However, previous studies regarding tournament theory have overlooked the participant aspects. Therefore, this study explores how external hiring and involuntary turnover influence the effect of pay dispersion on labor productivity. This paper hypothesizes that pay dispersion will have a positive effect on labor productivity. Moreover, this paper predicts that the inflow of new competitors will strengthen the positive effects of pay dispersion on labor productivity, whereas the outflow of incumbents will weaken this relationship. Empirical results showed that pay dispersion increased labor productivity and the inflow of newcomers strengthened this positive relationship. However, contrary to our prediction, the outflow of incumbents weakened the positive effect between pay dispersion and labor productivity. These theoretical arguments and empirical findings highlight the proper conditions should be equipped to practically achieve the positive effect of pay dispersion on labor productivity.

This study is aiming to analyze the relevance of rating criteria and these criteria may have effects on policy purpose of 'Construction Skilled Workers' Rank System', that are inflow of new comer, improvement of job performance, and decrease job-change. Closely related systems, electronic card system and prevailing wage system, are considered by assuming three scenarios, although they are not introduced yet. Empirical survey shows that the relevance is above average. The empirical result of regression also predicts that policy target might be mostly satisfied. Policy purpose is regressed on rating criteria, they are career, qualification, education and training, award. Career and award have positive impact on inflow of new comer. All four criteria have significant impacts on improvement of job performance. Award has strong effects on decreasing job-change. Especially, when electronic card system and prevailing wage system are adopted simultaneously with 'Construction Skilled Workers' Rank System', the level of satisfaction of policy purpose would be higher.

Problems related to wages in the construction industry, which directly affect the livelihood of workers, have caused other problems in maintaining skilled workers, such as decreasing the inflow of new laborers and increasing the outflow of the existing labor force, which has weakened the foundation of industrial production. Against this backdrop, this study aimed to improve the current wage calculation system in order to increase the inflow of new laborers and maintain the existing skilled workers. It is necessary to differentiate the minimum wage in the construction industry, which requires a high intensity of labor, by industry and occupation type. It is also necessary to establish standards for specifically calculating wages, such as holiday work and overtime pay. The standard of the current retirement mutual aid fund needs to be upwardly adjusted at the same time.

The construction industry is a labor-oriented and quality, cost, and schedule performance is effected by technicians. However, the construction industry have faced a labor shortage problem. Therefore, technician graying and no new workers inflow cause labor shortage and decline of worker's skill level. The utilization of foreign technicians instead of domestic technicians has been increased in the construction industry. This paper performed questionnaire survey for 43 managers on 14 project fields to determine the current status and problems of construction technicians and to propose a improvement plan. As a result, most foreign technicians are carpenters and iron workers, but the skill levels are generally lower than domestics. The major problems for foreign technicians are communication and non-skilled. Then, labor productivity and accident rates of foreign technicians are higher than domestics. This paper proposes that skill training programs, language lessons, and multi-cultural programs are effective to improve foreign workers' problems.

SMEs in Korea are suffering from severe manpower shortage due to poor incentive system and employees' frequent change of jobs. So far, the government has made continuous efforts to solve these problems, but SMEs still have the same problem. It is critical for SMEs to maintain core employees for long term who can directly contribute to the business performance. However, Korean manpower policies for SMEs has mainly focused on hiring new recruits and attracting experienced high caliber employees to SMEs. Relatively, policies for attracting in-house employees to work for longer term were insufficient. This paper focuses on providing strategic policy options to make core employees stay in the company for longer term. For this, it identifies the concept and features of core employees and reviews the necessity of introducing the Mutual Aid Project. Also, it suggests the way to enhance the effectiveness of policy by analyzing current Mutual Aid Fund programs in Korea.

This paper has suggested the necessity of introducing training contents using XR(Extended reality) technology as a way to lower the high rate of nursing accidents among unskilled technical personnel in domestic shipbuilding industry, focusing on cable pulling using winch. The occurrence rate of nursing accidents in the domestic shipbuilding industry was almost double(197.4%) (2017~2020) when compared with other manufacturing industries. In particular, it is worth noting that more than 31.8% of nursing accidents in the shipbuilding industry occurred among workers whose job experience is no more than 6 months. Most of new workers are seen to have hard time due to several factors such as lack of work information, inexperience, and unfamiliarity with the working environments. This indicates that it is essential to incorporate more effective training method that could help new workers become familiar with technical skills as well as working environments in a short period of time. Currently, education/training at the domestic shipyard is biased toward technical skills such as welding, painting, machine installation, and electrical installation. Contrary, even more important training required to get new workers used to the working environment has remained at a superficial level such as explaining ship building processes using 2D drawings. This may be the reason why it is inevitable to repeat similar training at OJT (On-the-Job Training) even at the leading domestic companies. Domestic shipbuilding industries have been attracting a lot of new workers thanks to recent economic recovery, which is very likely to increase the occurrence of disasters. In this paper, the introduction of training using XR technology was proposed, and as a specific example, the process of pulling cables using winches on ships was implemented as XR-based training content by using Unity. Using the developed content, it demonstrated that new workers can experience the actual work process in advance through simulation in a virtual space, thereby becoming more effective training content that can help new workers become familiar with the work environment.
