Despite the importance of manufacturing to the national economy, the sharp decline in the share of employment is a common problem faced by developed countries, including Korea. In particular, science and technology jobs are important in terms of policy because they are directly related to the quality of employment and industrial competitiveness, but previous research on this is insignificant. This study analyzed the effects of new product development, new process development, open innovation, and government R&D support on science and technology job creation after subdividing manufacturing industry by technology regime. As a result of the analysis, it was confirmed that the development of new products contributed to the expansion of science and technology jobs, but the development of new processes decreased science and technology jobs. In addition, open innovation has the effect of reducing science and technology jobs due to outsourcing of research and development functions, and government R&D support contributes to creating science and technology jobs in traditional industries with low demand for technological innovation.

This paper provides empirical evidence on the impact of increasing import penetration on the job stability of Korean workers. The main results are as follows. First, import penetration negatively affects job stability. If an industry's ratio of imports to total supply increases by 1 percentage point, the turnover probability of workers in that industry increases by 4.5 percentage points. Second, the effect of trade liberalization is not symmetric between imports and exports. Unlike the case of imports, an industry's ratio of exports to output does not have a significant effect on job stability. Third, the impact of import penetration is not uniform across different types of workers. The negative impact is greater for workers in small firms, less educated workers, and those not protected by labor unions.

The e-commerce had been expanding in the distribution channels, recently. Then, COVID-19 and social distancing rules led to a surge of online hypermarkets volume. In this study, we examined workplace environments of delivery drivers, firstly. Second, this study was also designed to examine the influencing factors of the perceived working environments change on the job satisfaction, dealing with the recent surge of work. We analyzed 324 data using various ways like descriptive statistics, one-way analysis of variance, factor analysis, and hierarchical regression analysis. The analysis revealed that their job satisfaction was lower than the average score and their working time was too long. In addition, the changes of the workplace environments were divided into labor intensity change and working condition change, which all had a significant effect on job satisfaction. So we should devise some long-term and short-term plans to make the level of job satisfaction among delivery drivers high on workplace environments.
