Recently SMEs(small and medium enterprises) in Korea have experienced severe labor shortages. In particular, college graduates avoiding SMEs are widely spotted. According to previous studies, the main causes of the evasion by college graduates are the inferior working environment and low wages. Some studies also state that SME workers experience discrimination. However, most studies have focused only on unemployment issues of the young graduates. In this research, the results of follow-up surveys on the employment status and job conditions of recent college graduates was linked as a panel data, and the performance of the graduates was analyzed. Based on the analysis, we found college graduates who are employed SMEs are likely to have their initial career fixed to the SMEs. Second, the job separation records of the young SME workers does not show positive labor market performances such as upward movements or wage increases, and the process itself turned out to be entailed frequent separation. Third, the inferior wage level at SMEs and the fact that this effect is cumulatively amplified has been a key factor for evading SMEs. Thus, it is difficult to say that the early-stage careers in SMEs are constructive in future career development. On the contrary, the early careers at SMEs result in lower labor market outcomes, and frequent job separation.

The Ministry of Education has been quick to apply National Competency Standars (NCS) to industrial sites and educational·training institutions in order to resolve discrepancies between practical affairs in industrial sites and vocational education, training & requirements. Full implementation of NCS-based curriculum in vocational education of vocational high schools has been mandatory since 2018. This research used a region-stratified sample of 350 from teachers in 'machinery' and 'machine·metal' majors in mechanical departments of vocational high schools to investigate the awareness of practical courses for metal machining among the teachers. The research results are as follows. First, a majority of the respondents indicated the availability of turning process, milling process, computer integrated manufacturing and measuring courses in mechanical departments. Second, capabilities required by the industry are considered most in selecting practical courses and competence units. Third, positive changes with the introduction of practical courses in the school education are students' practical skills improvement and satisfaction of industrial requirements. Fourth, negative changes with the introduction of practical courses in the school education are too difficult learning modules used in practical courses for students and students' difficulty in learning because of the difference between equipment in schools and industrial equipment in learning modules. Fifth, teachers' satisfaction with practical courses classes and overall conditions is above the average, and their satisfaction with the level of practical courses and bookbinding or purchase of rearranged textbooks of practical courses is below the average. Therefore, application conditions of above-mentioned representative 4 practical courses should be examined and taken care of for consistent improvement to stabilize NCS-based educational courses in mechanical departments.

The purpose of this study was to examine the work values of undergraduate-level foodservice major students. In order to assess work values of the participating students, this study adopted 'Maryland Work Values Inventory'. Data from a total of 290 surveys were collected. The participants consisted of 146 commercial foodservice major students and 144 institutional foodservice major students. Among the seven work values, both groups ranked 'job advancement' as the most important work value. Commercial foodservice major students rated 'altruism' as the least important work value, whereas it was 'stimulation' for institutional foodservice major students. 'Need for work' was evaluated statistically higher by junior and senior students compared to sophomore students of commercial foodservice major (p<0.05). In both foodservice majors, a positive relationship was found between work value scores and grade levels. All work value scores tended to be higher for students in higher grades. This tendency was especially statistically clear for the value 'need for work' for commercial foodservice major students and 'money and prestige' for institutional foodservice major students (p<0.05). There were some gaps in the work values between students with different career field choices. For the commercial foodservice majors, those interested in fine dining perceived 'satisfaction and accomplishment' and 'altruism' as more important [4.33 (p<0.05) and 4.05 (p<0.01), respectively] compared to students who had interests in fast food restaurants (4.06 and 3.67 respectively). Scores for 'satisfaction & accomplishment' (p<0.05), 'money & prestige' (p<0.001), and 'stimulation' (p<0.001) were significantly different among institutional foodservice major students. In addition, students more interested in industrial foodservice field regarded 'money & prestige' and 'stimulation' as less important as indicated by noticeably lower scores (3.74, 3.55 respectively) in comparison to the other group (p<0.001). The results of this study, which explored foodservice major students' work values, suggest that there is an increased need for the students to build up their work values as well as for the foodservice industry to offer appropriate work values to future foodservice employees.

This study aims to grasp the general conditions regarding university students in security related majors in Korea. Followings will be covered here: what motivated them to choose those majors, how much are they satisfied with major curriculum course after matriculation, whether they got jobs through the education, what is their consciousness on their majors, jobs, and courses like, and what effects their job preference. And this study also aims at helping the students with their future plans such as admission to a school of higher grade and choosing their job. For this study, we distributed 340 cpoies to the students in security related majors at 4 four-year colleges and 1 two-year college, and collected 298 copies by means of quota sampling method. For collected questionnaires, we used individual T-test verification and one-way ANOVA analysis to grasp the situation. Significance standard for the test results was set as p<0.05. Following are the test results. First, the analysis on students' satisfaction rate resulted in male students' average of 2.42, compared to female students' average of 2.10, which shows female students have higher satisfaction rate in choosing their majors than male students. Secondly, The results on analysis of satisfaction rate on their curriculums, classes, and majors show that students in security-related majors showed different satisfaction rate and different averages according to their sex and the year of the college. The study indicates that males have higher satisfaction rate on curriculum than females, with male students' average of 2.63 and female students' average 2.88. According to the year of the college, there was a significant difference statistically, Statistics show that students at two-year college have higher satisfaction rate than those at four-year college, with two-year college students' average of 2.48 and four-year college students' of 2.74. students have the average of 3.56. The higher year they were in, the more improvement the curriculum required. When it comes to convenience offer for employment, male students expected more from school than female students, with males' average of 2.74 and females' average of 4.07. Male students marked higher than female students in the extent of job information offer, with males' average of 2.96 and females' average of 2.59. Fourthly, when students in security-related majors were surveyed on their consciousness of their future plans such as getting jibs, two-year college students had more certificates of qualification for employment than four-year college students. What they do preponderantly in preparation for employment was studying foreign languages, which took up 40.4%. And when they were asked on their confidence for employment, positive answers were far more than negative ones with the percentage of 39.6%, while negative took up just 14.0%. Fifthly, when it come to the students in security-related students' job preferences, 49.2% preferred safe job conditions in public security area and 34% preferred private guard or private security organizations. And in the public security area, the highest percentage of 28.6 preferred to work in presidential security service. In the area of private security, 21.2% showed interests in private guard and private security organizations.

IMF로 인한 경제위기 시기에 도시에서 농촌으로 귀농 가구가 증가하는 현상이 나타났으나 이후 경제가 활성화 되면서 감소하였다. 연도별 귀농가구의 동향은 1998년 6,409가구를 정점으로 1999년에 4,118가구로 감소하였다가 2001년경에는 매년 1000가구 미만의 수준으로 하락하였으나 2008년 말 기준으로 2,218가구에 이르는 비교적 증가하는 추세를 보이고 있다. 한편 지방자치단체 특히 인구 과소화 시군에서는 도시민 유치를 위하여 경쟁적으로 귀농자 지원조례를 제정하여 정착하는 귀농인들을 지원하고 있다. 급기야 2009년 4월에는 중앙정부 차원에서 '귀농귀촌 종합대책'이 발표되었다. 도시에서 농촌으로 이주하는 원인으로는 농업을 직업으로 선택한 결과에 따른 것도 있지만 건강한 생활 및 웰빙 전원생활 영위를 위한 이주 등 그 원인이 다양화 되어 가고 있다. 이주하는 개인의 다양한 동기와 함께 지방자치단체의 지원책 또한 하나의 유인요인이 된다고 할 수 있을 것이다. 귀농귀촌 인구가 증가세를 보이기 시작한 2000년대 중반은 정부와 지방자치단체의 귀농귀촌인 지원대책이 시작된 시기임을 볼 때 그 연계성을 짐작할 수는 있으나 검증된 바는 없다. 그렇지만 귀농인의 입장에서는 선배 귀농인이 많이 거주하거나 지원정책이 잘 되어 있는 곳을 선택하게 될 가능성은 높은 것도 사실이다. 본 연구에서는 귀농인 지원을 위하여 각 지방자치단체가 제정한 지방조례의 내용과 차이점을 분석하고자 한다. 2009년 6월 기준으로 전국 34개 시군에서 지방조례를 제정하였고 이중 13개 시군에서는 시행규칙도 완비하였다. 조례의 주된 내용은 귀농귀촌인에 대한 빈집수리비용, 의료 학자금, 영농정착금, 농지구입자금 등을 지원하는 것으로 되어 있다. 물론 그 지원 규모에 있어서는 다소의 차이가 있지만 귀농귀촌인에 대한 자금의 직접적 지원에 초점이 맞춰져 있다. 귀농자들이 지역사회에 안정적으로 정착하고 정주할 수 있으려면 직접적 자금지원을 벗어나 지역네트워크를 형성하고 지원해 주는 것이 필요할 것으로 사료된다.

The purpose of this research is to investigate differences of governmental parts in social supports for unmarried mothers at home and those at facilities and to look at policy alternatives. Despite of the rising number of unmarried child rearing mothers in recent years, the governmental supports are not sufficient enough to aid even the most basic sustenance. The research on the governmental supports shows that unmarried child-rearing mothers at home were more aged, more employed, more educated and had children of more month ages than those at facilities. Single mothers at facilities were getting more governmental supports excluding crisis support and paternity test than those at home who appeared to be experiencing more difficulties. Based on the results from this research work, more realistic governmental policies are proposed to help a stable settlement of unmarried child-rearing mothers.

This paper analyzes the actual 'content' and 'role' of the intrinsic motivation of creative laborers during the creative production process. Based on semi-structured intensive interviews with 16 light-entertainment television PDs in South Korea, this paper articulated that intrinsic motivation towards creative work could be understood as a desire to maintain their level of enjoyment from creative work. The desire was classified into two different types of 'enjoyment', one was the enjoyment based on the expectation regarding the creative job, and the 'enjoyment' experienced primarily related to the creative production process that allows creative workers to actualize individual creative ambitions. In addition, such intrinsic motivation tended to provide a strong driving force for creative workers as they endured unfavorable working conditions that resulted from market principles(viewership ratings), economic stability, and work-life balance. This paper proposes that the tendency of creative workers to endure various undesirable working conditions is based on a strong intrinsic motivation to maintain their level of enjoyment from their creative career.
