본 연구에서는 기존의 연구와는 다른 관점으로 경제학적 관점에서의 임금에 대한 연구가 아니고 통계학적인 관점에서의 임금에 의한 분류로서 직업군들 간에 작용하는 몇 가지의 변수를 이용하여 소득(실제 분석은 임금)과의 관련성을 살펴보고 직업군들을 그룹으로 분류하고자 한다. 연구 결과 KECO 직업분류의 중분류 상에서 통계적 관점으로 2차원 산점도에 의한 그룹화와 군집분석에 의한 군집화 결과 '관리직'은 다른 직업과 여러 가지 형태에서 다른 그룹으로 분류가 되며, 또한 '법률, 경찰, 소방, 교도 관련직'과 '금융, 보험 관련직' 그리고 '정보통신 관련직'이 다른 차원에서 하나의 그룹을 형성하고, '경비 및 청소 관련직'과 '농림,어업 관련직'도 하나의 그룹으로 형성되고 있다.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the employment possibility of the humanities college graduates to science and engineering field occupations, and to identify the occupational characteristics related to employability perceived by workers. To do this, basic statistical analysis, correlation analysis, and hierarchical multiple regression analysis were conducted using the data surveyed on 2,600 workers in the science and engineering field in the 'Research on Korean Occupational Index for Career and Employment Service(2017)'. The main results are as follows. First, the employment possibility of the humanities college graduates to science and engineering field was low, except for some occupations in the information communication, manufacturing and processing fields. Second, the occupational characteristics affecting the employment possibilities of the humanities college graduates to science and engineering field are as follows: low importance of the final education, low importance of the major, low importance of qualification, high importance of vocational training, easy to return after the career break, high level of gender equality, high level of pleasant work environment, high employment retention, easy to self-employment or start-up, and increasing number of jobs. Based on the results of this study, to support employment of humanities college graduate from the occupational aspect, it is necessary to find out some detailed jobs or to develop convergence occupations. At this time, it is possible to utilize the occupational characteristics factors that increase the employment possibility of humanities college graduates to science and engineering occupations.

Students' perception of science-related career strongly influences the formation of career motivation in science. Especially, the high level of science gifted students' positive perceptions plays an important role in allowing them to continue to study science. This study compared perceptions of science-related career between general and gifted middle school students using semantic network analysis. To ensure this end, we first structuralize semantic networks of science-related careers that students perceived. Then, we identified the characters of networks that two different student groups showed based on the structure matrix indices of semantic network analysis. The findings illustrated that the number of science-related careers shown in science gifted students' answer is more than in general students' answer. In addition, the science gifted students perceived more diverse science-related careers than general students. Second, scientific career such as natural scientists and professors were shown in the core of science gifted students' perception network whereas non-research oriented careers such as science teachers and doctors were shown in the core of general students' perception network. In this study, we identified the science gifted students' perceptions of science-related career was significantly different from the general students'. The findings of current study can be used for the science teachers to advise science gifted students on science-related careers.

This paper examines how the levy-grant system for on-the-job training affects individual workers' training level and the subsequent wage growth. Some notable results include: (i) the workers at the firms facing high net benefits (i.e., grant minus levy) receive more firm training indeed, and (ii) training provision raises post-training earnings substantially. All these results are found to be robust to changes in firm size and estimation method.

We have been analyzed by research on the characteristics of professional consciousness, professional preparation, employment, and career life aimed at Chinese students. There is a tendency that overall trend is almost the same, even though there might be a small difference according to the characteristics of Chinese students' gender and scholastic year. Especially, a drift to the economic aspect of professional consciousness is a reflection of increasing hardship on our society. In spite of now is the era of disappearing permanent job and being changed to the concept of lifelong career, there is exceedingly rare places for getting education of professional consciousness or related information. It is needed to inform upright professional consciousness and to educate the Chinese students.

This study was conducted to determine the quality of sleep, and its association with the sociodemographic characteristics, health-related characteristics, and job-related characteristics among male workers in small-scale manufacturing industries with fewer than 50 members. A self-administered questionnaire was distributed to 856 male workers from April $1^{st}$ to June $30^{th}$, 2011. The survey items included the variables of sociodemographic, health-related, job-related, and quality of sleep. As a result, the quality of sleep according to the PSQI of the study subjects revealed 32.0% to be good and 68.0% to be poor. The quality of sleep assessed by hierarchical multiple regression analysis was significantly lower in the married group, those with lower BMI, and those with a lower level of subjective health status, non-smoking, alcohol drinking, without regular exercise, coffee drinking, blue color, had a longer of working hours, subjective health status, had a visiting out-patient department, and had a history of hospitalization. With the above model, the job characteristics had 13.1% explanatory power. This suggests that the quality of sleep (PSQI) has more power when combined with the job characteristics.

Developing our understanding of retail employee job satisfaction is important, especially given its impact in reducing employee turnover intentions and increasing employee job performance. While developing our understanding of job satisfaction is important, the vast majority of studies examine job satisfaction as a global or single-faceted construct. However, extant research provides evidence that to properly measure job satisfaction, multi-faceted scales are required (e.g. Churchill et al., 1974; Boles et al., 2007; Rutherford et al., 2009). Using the literature on multi-faceted job satisfaction, this study examines retail employees' satisfaction with supervision, job, company policy, promotion, pay, fellow workers, and customers. Specifically, emotional exhaustion, need for emotion, and personal traits (strong, independent, and warm) are examined as antecedents. This study finds that emotional exhaustion is negatively related to all seven facets of job satisfaction.
