This study investigated correlations among interpersonal problems, body dissatisfaction, and makeup behavior among college students. The results provide basic data which are helpful for students to build healthy interpersonal relationships and suggest a direction for beauty care behavior. This study derived the following results: A close correlation was identified between international problems and body dissatisfaction and body dissatisfaction and makeup behavior. In other words, college students suffering from interpersonal problems also experienced body dissatisfaction. In addition, those with body dissatisfaction have made efforts to overcome such problem through makeup behavior. This could be viewed as meaning that the greater the body dissatisfaction, the more active college students are in makeup management behavior, and the intention to resolve their physical dissatisfaction through makeup management behavior was included. Therefore, society or colleges need to recognize the necessity of counseling or treatment programs for college students suffering from interpersonal problems or body dissatisfaction and help them enter into society through diverse programs. Additionally, appearance management programs, such as the aforementioned makeup behavior, that can make them satisfied with their body should be developed. Ultimately, diverse suggestions that can help students improve their self-esteem and interpersonal relationships and enhance sociality through such social efforts should be formulated.

The purpose of this study was to explore the personal experiences of businesswomen regarding appearance management and their body image. To achieve this, diverse perspectives were employed, including critical, practical, and positive body image perspectives. Interviews were conducted with 17 Korean businesswomen with more than 10 years of work experience. The data were analyzed using a phenomenological approach to understand their lived experiences of appearance management and body image. The participants acknowledged that appearance is important in the workplace - more so for women than for men. They commented that appearance may play an important role in displyaing social attractiveness to strangers, but other elements of social attractiveness such as liveliness or social skills take prominence in established relationships. Businesswomen, particularly those whose professions involve the display of appearance, are more likely to engage in aesthetic labor or the unpaid labor of managing their physical appearance in order to meet expectations at work. In general, however, these women considered appearance management to be a practice of self-care which seems to demonstrate their positive body image. This study has significance in that it strived to understand the subjective, lived experiences of businesswomen, including their thoughts and emotions related to appearance management and body image.

본 논문에서는 스타일러는 옷을 빨거나 다리지 않고도 마치 새옷처럼 다시 입을 수 있도록 관리해준다는 콘셉트로 등장한 의류기기이다. 출시 당시에는 생소하고 크기가 커서 큰 호응을 얻지 못했지만, 최근에는 작고 편리한 신제품을 내놓으면서 대중화 시대를 열어가고 있다. 양복을 주로 입는 회사원에서 싱글족까지 스타일러를 사용하고 있지만 대중적인 스타일러는 정해진 위치에서만 사용해야 한다는 불편함이 있다. 또한 출장이 잦은 직업이나 먼지가 많은 공간에서 일하는 직업의 경우 옷에 주름이나 먼지를 제거하지 못해 구겨진 옷을 입고 다니는 경우가 많다. 그래서 우리는 가정용 스타일러에서 장소에 구애받지 않고 사용할 수 있는 휴대용 스마트 스타일러를 제작하기로 하였다. 예기치 못한 상황에서의 중요한 자리가 있을 때 휴대용 스타일러가 있다면 준비해둔 의류를 상황에 맞춰 관리하여 다닐 수 있을 것이며, 스타일러에 온도와 습도를 보여주는 기능이 있다면 스타일러를 사용하기 전에 스타일러의 상태가 양호한지 판단할 수 있을 것이다.

This study confirmed the relationship between variables developed by qualitative ground theory through quantitative research. The purpose of the study is to explain the effect of core sales tasks on sales services and the mediating effect of organizational member relationships on sales services. The data were collected through a survey of fashion brand salespeople in Gwangju from September to October 2020 with data from 235 responses analyzed using SPSS 27.0 and AMOS 26.0. The validity of the research model verified the confirmatory factor analysis and the research hypothesis was verified through path analysis and multi-mediated analysis of the structural model. The research results were as follows. First, sales management did not directly affect sales services, and customer management affected sales services. Second, a meaningful causal relationship was shown to exist between organizational member relationships and sales management, but organizational member relationships and customer management did not have a significant relationship. Third, the total and individual indirect effects of headquarters relations, colleague relations, and customer management were all statistically significant.

This study examines the implications of fashion in self-expression or image management among college students in Korea.
