Many nuclear power plants in Japan are approaching the end of their planned operational life spans. They must be decommissioned safely in the near future. Using augmented reality (AR), workers can intuitively understand information related to decommissioning work. Three-dimensional (work-site) reconstruction models of dismantling fields are useful for workers to observe the conditions of dismantling field situations without visiting the actual fields. This study, based on AR and work-site reconstruction models, developed and evaluated an information reference system. The evaluation consists of questionnaires and interview surveys administered to six nuclear power plant workers who used this system, along with a scenario. Results highlight the possibility of reducing time and mitigating mistakes in dismantling fields. Results also show the ease of referring to information in dismantling fields. Nevertheless, it is apparently difficult for workers to build reconstruction models of dismantling fields independently.

Every organization needs to maintain its long-term effectiveness through the positive perceptions, attitudes, and behaviors of its members. Customer orientation, job satisfaction, and organizational citizenship behavior (OCB) are the important functioning aspects for the long-term organizational effectiveness. The purpose of this study is to investigate the impact of service-worker's customer orientation on OCB within Korean bank and insurance sector by analyzing the relationship of constructs in the conceptual model. To achieve research objectives, survey method is employed. Findings of this research reveal that both need and enjoyment dimension of CO are very important in predicting OCB. We sent 220 questionnaires to service workers of the bank and insurance then received 200 valid responses. The research was conducted in bank and insurance agency in J city. The choice of these two types of organizations was dictated by the fact that they have large number of service worker with diverse background at multiple levels in these industries. Results also indicated that the moderating effect of pay satisfaction on the relationship between their OCB and CO had a weak effect.

Construction accidents have not decreased in spite of much effort such as new work methods, education and research related to safety works. Specially, many fatal accidents happened in construction works which involve the apartment, building, school, church, hotel, hospital, bank work and the other works. These accidents are mainly caused by unanticipated risk factors. From these reasons, this study researched fatal accidents which happened in construction works during last 13 years($1992{\sim}2004$) and analyzed the input workers and a work period of construction work. According to the input workers and a work period, the results are as following. During 13years($1992{\sim}2004$), the fatal accidents, related to the construction work, were happened to the 1,977 cases. These results were occupied the 21.32% of the total industry accidents. According to the result of the construction, the fatal accident rate of a concrete form work was the highest rate of 16.24% (321 cases) and a temporary work, a steel frame work was the each rate of 12.39%(245 cases), 10.07%(199 cases). Comparing to other work types, the fatal accident rate of those three work types(concrete form work, temporary work, steel work) was represented highly. We surveyed input workers and work period of construction work site. From the result of survey, input workers of a concrete form work were occupied with 13,720. The risk rate of the work type, which was considered input workers and work period, was represented 0.3622(a steel frame work), 0.1142(a temporary work), 0.0782(a tower crane) and 0.0772(a concrete work).

우리 경제가 성장하면서 경제활동인구가 늘고 고용률이 높아지는 등 고용이 양적으로 꾸준히 성장하였다. 그러나 생산가능인구가 2017년부터 감소하기 시작하였고 여성 및 청년층의 고용은 부진한 상황이다. 비임금 근로자의 비중이 다른 나라나 소득 수준에 비해 크게 높은 수준이다. 또한 임금근로자 중 비정규직 비중과 소규모 기업 종사 근로자의 비중이 높은 것으로 나타났다. 이와 같은 고용구조의 특징에 비추어 우리나라 고용구조의 과제는 노동시장 이중구조심화, 청년실업 증가, 여성 고용의 부진, 저생산성의 과도한 자영업 비중 등으로 정리할 수 있다. 노동시장 이중구조가 심화된 데는 글로벌화에 따른 경쟁 심화, 대기업 우위의 원·하청관계, 대·중소기업 간 생산성 격차, 기업규모별 노동조합의 교섭력 격차 및 기업단위 노사협상 등의 제도적 요인이 복합적으로 작용하였다. 청년실업은 대학진학률 상승으로 대졸자들이 크게 증가한 반면 노동시장 이중구조화로 1차 노동시장 규모가 늘지 않은 데다 대졸자들의 2차 노동시장 기피현상이 심화된 것을 주된 배경으로 한다. 낮은 여성 고용률과 고용의 질적 수준은 결혼·출산 이후의 뚜렷한 경력단절에 기인하며 가정과 직장생활을 병행하기 어렵게 하는 제도 및 문화가 근본적인 원인으로 보인다. 생산성이 낮은 자영업자가 과다한 데에는 임금근로자 일자리가 충분하지 않고 노동시장 이중구조로 인해 양질의 임금근로자 일자리에 취업하기 힘들다는 점이 주요한 배경으로 작용하였다. 우리나라의 고용 확대를 제약하고 고용구조를 악화시킨 주된 구조적 요인은 이중구조 심화인 것으로 판단되는 만큼 공정거래 질서 확립과 중소기업의 생산성 향상 등 노동시장 이중구조 완화에 정책 역량을 집중할 필요가 있다. 아울러 청년 노동시장의 효율성을 제고할 수 있도록 직업훈련 및 고용지원서비스 제도를 개선하는 한편 보육시설 확충 등 여성들이 일과 가정이 병행할 수 있도록 하는 제도적 보완을 지속해 나가는 것도 중요하다.

본 연구에서는 최저임금 산입범위를 고려하여 산정한 최저임금에 해당하는 노동자의 비율이 임금노동자들의 노동시간과 노동소득에 미치는 영향을 분석하였다. 분석 결과 산업 내 최저임금 영향자의 비율이 1%p 늘어날 때 최저임금에 영향을 받는 노동자들의 월평균 노동시간은 약 1.3시간 줄어들며, 월평균 급여는 약 1.4만 원 줄어드는 결과를 보였다. 이러한 분석 결과는 기업이 최저임금에 적용을 받는 노동자들의 노동시간을 조정함으로써 최저임금 인상으로 인한 노동비용의 상승을 상쇄하려는 시도를 할 수 있고, 이는 오히려 최저임금의 적용을 받는 노동자들의 노동소득을 감소시키는 결과를 초래할 수 있음을 보인 것이다.

Welding is one of the most fundamental and necessary work in the industry that demand sophistication of skilled workers. This study is to introduce welding simulator as a training tool, to verify its effectiveness and to measure satisfaction of the trainees. A group of freshman students at a Korea Polytechnics College in their twenties with less experience of welding participated in the study. They were divided into two groups and took a traditional training course (comparison group) and a training course with welding simulator applied reality/haptic technology (experimental group) for same hours respectively. To evaluate training effect, a national certificate test and a survey based on Phillips' ROI (Return on Investment) methodology were conducted by the students and the college respectively. And satisfaction survey among the students based on Kirkpatrick's Four-Level Evaluation Model was also carried out. The results showed that all students in the experimental group passed the national certificate test and the ROI of the experimental group for five years were 110% higher than the comparison group. Furthermore, 25% more students in the experimental group replied "very satisfied" about the overall training course and 75% more students in the same group found that the simulation was very similar to the real welding.

The remittances play a major and a very critical role in promoting economic growth and development activities in the developing countries. In this study, the relationship between per capita gross domestic product (GDP) and remittances paid has been investigated based on the case studies in Malaysia from 1987 to 2018. Data was collected from various sources namely statistical yearbook by World Bank and Asian Development Bank. All variables are expressed in natural logarithm form. The technique utilized is the nonlinear autoregressive distributed lags (hereafter NARDL) approach which was introduced by Shin et al.(2014) to examine both short run and long run relationships, as well as the direction of causality, due to the asymmetric relationship between GDP and remittances. The bound test verifies asymmetric cointegration among the variables. The empirical results show that the remittances paid has a momentous short-run and long-run effect towards capital accumulation in Malaysia. Remittances also increase a positive relationship with capital accumulation for Malaysia. We found that remittances form a significant source of external capital and investment for developing countries especially Malaysia which helps in promoting economic development. Furthermore, as a developing country, foreign workers are a source of income to the receiving countries and an indicator to boost sender countries.

The purpose of the study is to look into the likelihood of private sector enterprises going bankrupt due to COVID-19 pandemic-related issues. The data for this study was taken from the World Bank's Enterprise Survey, which was intended to assess the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the business sector. This study uses the Ordinal Logit Method to analyze the model with dependent variables having ordinal values. The determinants reflect business performance, innovation, business relationships, and government support. According to the estimation results, a lower probability of business closures, illiquidity, and payment delays are found in businesses that maintain sales growth, operating hours, temporary workers, product portfolio, consumer demand, and input supply. Meanwhile, the increase in online business activities and receiving support from financial institutions and the government do not help businesses reduce the risk. Moreover, higher survival is found in manufacturing and developing countries. This implies the fragility of businesses in the retail and service sectors, especially for mega-enterprises in developed countries. In addition, the negative impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on businesses in Europe and West Asia is less severe than in other regions. The results imply policies to support the private sector during the pandemic, such as increasing labor market flexibility or rapidly implementing supportive policies.
