본 연구에서는 2006년 1차, 2010년 2차, 2011년 3차, 2014년 4차 근로환경조사(KWCS) 결과를 바탕으로 2000년대 중반부터 약 10년에 걸쳐 직업별, 고용계약기간별, 직장 유형별, 최종학력별로 우리나라 근로자의 근로시간이 어떻게 변했는지 살펴보았다. 아울러 우리나라의 근로환경조사(KWCS)와 유럽의 2010년 5차 근로환경조사(EWCS) 결과를 비교하였다. 주당 근로시간의 경우 2000년대 중반부터 근래에까지 줄어들었지만 유럽의 근로시간보다는 아직도 더 길다. 직업별로는 서비스종사자와 판매종사자가 전문가보다, 민간부문이 공공부문 및 비영리단체보다, 그리고 저학력자가 고학력자보다 근로시간이 더 길다.

근래에 들어 기업 간 경쟁이 심화되고, 경제상황이 불안해지면서 근로시간의 단축은 물론 비정규직이나 시간제 근로자의 양산, 새로운 탄력근무제나 교대제의 도입 등이 일어났고, 따라서 근로시장은 급속한 변화를 겪고 있다. 이에 이 연구에서는 우선 탐색적 자료분석 방법을 이용하여 KWCS(Korean Working Conditions Survey)와 EWCS (European Working Conditions Survey) 데이터로부터 근로환경의 측면에서 근로자의 사회 인구학적 특성이 어떤지 살펴보고자 한다. 이어서 KWCS와 EWCS의 데이터를 가지고 탐색적 자료분석 방법으로 주당 근로시간이 성별, 연령별, 종사상 지위별, 직종별, 산업별로 얼마나 차이가 나는지 알아보고자 한다. 마지막으로 근로자들을 건강이 적어도 좋은 편에 속하는 사람들과 건강이 적어도 나쁜 편에 속하는 사람들로 나누어 두 그룹 간 주당 평균근로시간이 성별, 연령별, 종사상 지위별, 직종별, 산업별로 얼마나 차이가 나는지 표를 통해 먼저 살펴보고, 주당 평균근로시간을 반응변수로 보고 이에 영향을 미치는 요인들 (건강, 성, 연령, 종사상 지위 등)의 효과를 점검하는 단순회귀 및 다중회귀 분석을 실시하고자 한다.

Background: The aim of this study was to evaluate the quality of the Second Korean Working Conditions Survey (KWCS), focusing on its validity and reliability. Methods: The external validity was evaluated by the assessment of sampling procedures and the response rate, in order to investigate the representativeness of the sample. The content validity was evaluated by the assessment of the development of the questionnaire, and the consistency of questions for the selected construct. The test-retest method was used to evaluate the reliability by means of a phone call survey of 30% of the respondents, who were randomly selected. The respondents' satisfaction regarding the survey procedures and interview time were analyzed to evaluate the quality of survey data. Results: The external validity was assured by an acceptable sampling procedure, rigid multi-stage stratified cluster random sampling. The content validity was also guaranteed by a reasonable procedure for the development of the questionnaire with a pretest. The internal consistency of the questions for work autonomy was maintained, with 0.738 of Cronbach's alpha. The response rate of 36% was lower than that of the European Working Conditions Survey (EWCS), with a contact rate of 66%, compared to 76% for the EWCS. The matching rates of the five retested questions were more than 98% reliable. Conclusion: The quality of the second KWCS was assured by the high external and content validity and reliability. The rigid sampling procedure and development of the questionnaire contributed to quality assurance. The high level of reliability may be guaranteed by the sophisticated field survey procedures and the development of a technical manual for interviewers. The technical strategies for a high response rate should be developed for future surveys.

Background: It is acknowledged that legislation acts as a motivator for organizational action on psychosocial risks. Our study aims to provide evidence on the relationship between key occupational safety and health (OSH) policy principles and organizational action on work-related stress, and, in turn, with reported employee job demands and resources and their experience of work-related stress. We focus on Italy where specific legislation and practices on work-related stress were introduced in 2008 which are underpinned by these key OSH policy principles. Methods: Secondary analysis of the Italian samples from the employer ESENER-2 and employee 6th EWCS surveys was conducted, using path analysis in structural equation modeling (SEM) linking the two datasets. Results: We found a strong statistically significant relationship between OSH policy principles and organizational action on work-related stress (C.I. = .62-.78 p < .001). The existence of an organizational action plan on work-related stress was found to be significantly associated with more reported job resources (C.I. = .02-.24, p < .05) but these were not found to be significantly associated with less work-related stress. No significant association was found between having an organizational action plan for work-related stress and reported job demands. However, job demands were significantly related to reported work-related stress (C.I. = .27-.47, p < .001). Conclusions: Findings add support to the call for specific legislation on work-related psychosocial risks and highlight how an organizational OSH culture underpinned by key OSH principles, and awareness/competence development on psychosocial risk management can have a positive effect on organizational action. However, further support needs to be provided to organizations around developing primary prevention interventions at the organizational level with the aim of reducing job demands.

본 논문에서는 동일 광원에서 휘도 변화에 따른 색 순응 현상을 고려하여 원 피사체와 동일하게 보이는 대응색을 재현할 수 있는 색 순응 모델을 제안한다. 제안한 CAM$\Delta$Y는 저휘도 상태의 시험 색과 동일하게 보이는 고휘도의 상태의 대응색으로 변환하는 변환 행렬로 모델링하고, 제안 모델의 최적 계수 값들은 Breneman이 실험한 주위 휘도별 대응색 데이터들로부터 구한다. 제안한 색 순응 모델인 CAM$\Delta$Y에 의한 예측 대응색과 Breneman의 실험 데이터 간의 측색적 좌표 오차 $\Delta$u'v'를 비교해 본 결과, Breneman의 D55 광원의 세 가지 서로 다른 밝기에 대한 실험의 대응색과 제안한 모델에 의해 예측된 색과의 평균 측색적 좌표 에러 $\Delta$u'w'의 값이 0.004 정도로, 이는 제안 모델의 평균 측색적 좌표 오차가 인접한 (adjacent) 두 컬러 샘플간의 구별 색차 정도로 아주 작은 오차를 가짐으로 그 성능이 매우 좋음을 확인하였다. 또한 제안한 CAM$\Delta$Y를 이용하여 동일 광원의 밝기에 따른 동일한 백색으로 보이는 등백색 상관 색온도 곡선 (equal-whiteness CCT curve, EWC)을 제안한다. 제안한 둥백색 상관 색온도 곡선은 이제까지 TV 제조 업자들의 경험에 의해 결정된 디스플레이 장치의 기준 백색을 설정하는 정량적인 기준으로 사용될 수 있다

Background: The objective of this study was to elucidate the relationships musculoskeletal pains with combined vulnerability in terms of age, gender, and employment status Methods: The fifth European Working Conditions Survey (EWCS) in 2010 (43,816 participants aged 15 years and over) analyzed for European employees and the third Korean Working Conditions Survey (KWCS) in 2011 (50,032 participants aged 15 years and older) analyzed for Korean employees. In this study, three well known vulnerable factors to musculoskeletal pains (older age, female gender, and precarious employment status) were combined and defined as combined vulnerability. Associations of musculoskeletal pains with combined vulnerability were assessed with prevalence ratios (PRs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) estimated by Poisson regression models with robust estimates of variance. Results: The prevalences of musculoskeletal pains were lower but the absolute and relative differences between combined vulnerabilities were higher among Korean employees compared with the European employees. Furthermore, the increased risk of having musculoskeletal pains according to combined vulnerability was modestly explained by socioeconomic factors and exposure to ergonomic risk factors, especially in Republic of Korea. Conclusions: The results of this study showed that the labor market may be more unfavorable for female and elderly workers in Republic of Korea. Any prevention strategies to ward off musculoskeletal pains, therefore, should be found and implemented to mitigate or buffer against the most vulnerable work population, older, female, and precarious employment status, in Republic of Korea.
