In domestic construction site, convenient facilities for worker are much lacking up to now. These things exert negative influences in the occurrence of construction disaster because a safety-aware of worker-self is been lacking ultimately, and 3D(Dirty Dangerous Difficult) evasion phenomenon for construction site spreads more to workers and actuality that is going through manpower problems may be heavier. This research applied sensitivity safety cultural institutions that make aware of worker's sensitivity in spot to search solution way of these problems from resource of human original nature. By the result, there were affirmative sides that sensitivity safety cultures facilities make created a safety-aware during work to worker-self. Also, these facilities gave as member of a constituent by workers, it examined that become many helps in operation efficiency.

Technostress management is increasingly getting important as ICT advances and infiltrates every job and task. Especially with the advent of COVID-19, workers had to switch to teleworking utilizing ICT extensively. In this study, we developed a research model explaining antecedents and their impacts on technostress in telecommuting context, especially under the COVID-19 situation. The result revealed that techno-complexity, techno-invasion, and techno-overload are the dominant factors that affect the negative psychological responses in the COVID-19 situation. Among them, we found that techno-overload maintain the most significant influence. It is due to the lack of instant feedback on workload allocations in telework and the lack of adjustment period with the sudden shift to telecommuting. In the case of techno-complexity, employees seem to experience difficulty acquiring new technical skills. Finally, the techno-invasion came out significant, signifying the infiltration of working space by home-related activities. The emotion-focused coping strategy had a moderating effect. In contrast, the problem-focused coping strategy had no significant effect, indicating that an appropriate emotional coping strategy is more important for workers undergoing extreme changes in the work environment. Subsequently, practical and theoretical implications, limitations, and future research directions are discussed.

The purpose of this study is to find out how to measure the stress related to accidents at the construction site promptly and conveniently to prevent safety accidents of construction workers. Accordingly, we analyzed the correlations between the questionnaire tool index that measures the stress associated with complex psychology of humans by integrating emotion, cognition, physical and behavioral responses, and basic brain waves, SEF-90, concentration, stress index from brain wave. As a result, which had the highest correlation with the stress measured through the questionnaire, was the SEF-90, and the regression analysis between two independent variables yielded a specific regression equation. This suggests the possibility of measuring the integrated stress of construction workers through the EEG signal at the construction site, and it can be used for the safety management of the construction site in the future.

Objective : The purpose of this study was to verify the differences of expressed character strengths graded as per the Korean Strength Scale, based on the type of work. Methods : A total of 2,444 conglomerate workers were classified into two groups: 1,356 office workers and 1,088 production workers. The subjects were examined through a web or mobile application based on the Korean Strength Scale. The Korean Strength Scale consists of a total of four top entries and 25 sub-items with appropriate validity. Results : The difference in the average score of sum of character strengths between the two groups was not significant. In the office worker group, character strengths such as love of learning, creativity, perspective, curiosity, facilitation, judgment and faith had significantly high scores. On the other hands, modesty, hope, gratitude, sincerity, magnanimity and self-regulation were high in the production worker group. The results remained unchanged in additional analysis of covariants as sex, age and education level, except for self-regulation and faith. Conclusion : Our results suggest significant differences in the character strengths between the two types of work; however, the average of sum of character strength score remains unchanged. These results may help to understand differences between work environments and thus help to establish a positive foundation.

This study examined the effects of ego-resilience and emotional labor on work-family conflicts among middle-aged female workers. Data were collected through self-reported structured questionnaires of 148 middle-aged female workers from October 2, 2013 to April 10, 2014. The results suggest that the mean score of work-family conflict was 25.59 (SD=11.99) and there were significant differences in living arrangements (F=4.32, p=.015), monthly living expenses (r=.18, p=.028), and job satisfaction (F=6.33, p<.001) by work-family conflict. Work-family conflict was negatively related to ego-resilience (r=-.28 p=.001). Living arrangement (living with parents, children) (${\beta}=.29$, p=.045), monthly living expenses (${\beta}=.22$, p=.006), job satisfaction (${\beta}=-.20$, p=.015), and ego-resilience (${\beta}=-.28$, p<.001) were identified as significant predictors of work-family conflict. This model explained about 19.0% of work-family conflict in middle-aged female workers (F=6.61 p<.001). Therefore, as a strategy to reduce the level of work-family conflict in middle-aged female workers, it is necessary to consider socioeconomic factors such as living arrangements and living expenses that affect work-family conflicts. Moreover, applying psychological intervention to improve job satisfaction and ego-resilience of middle-aged women in the working environment will help reduce work-family conflicts.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of organizational culture on subjective well-being in organization. For this, this study surveyed organizational culture and subjective well-being those 142 workers experienced. CVM(Competing Value Model) and COMOSWB(Concise Measure of Subjective Well-Being) were used to measure them. The results were as follows: First, organizational culture had a significant influence on the subjective well-being(p<.001) in the organization and explained it as 28.4%. Only group culture had a significant positive influence on the subjective well-being(p<.001). On the other hand, hierarchical culture, developmental culture and rational culture had no significant influence on subjective well-being. Second, organizational culture had a significant positive influence on satisfaction(p<.001) and positive emotion(p<.001), but had a negative influence on negative emotion(p<.05) which are the factors of subjective well-being, and explained them as 35.3%, 26.0% and 5.1%. Only group culture had a significant positive influence on satisfaction(p<.001) and positive emotion(p<.001), but had negative influence on negative emotion(p<.01). Based on the drawn results, this study provides practical and theoretical implications and suggests further studies.

Due to paradigm shift in administration, the field of police administration, like its civilian counterpart, is spending effort to improve customer-oriented civil complaint service system, and this is leading to a negative factor in service providers, emotional labor, among police officers. This study examines amount of emotional labor of maritime police officers, and verify the effects of emotional labor on exhaustion. Results show maritime police officers experience about the same amount of emotional labor as other public workers, and emotional labor has effects on work exhaustion. In other words, perception of incongruity of emotion has positive effects on exhaustion on cynical attitude. Attention to emotional expression has negative effects on decrease of job effectiveness. As such, if the problem of emotional labor is neglected, it leads to exhaustion and can become a significant obstacle to performance due to negative organizational influence. Also, it can lead to serious physical and mental problems on the individual level. Therefore, policy implementation to prevent this problem is necessary.

This study is to suggest a system to increase workers' job satisfaction by analyzing the impact of conflicts in their families and work places to the satisfaction of work and the effects of personality types affecting job satisfaction. For this study, a questionnaire targeting 450 workers was conducted. As a result of this study, firstly, it was revealed that both conflicts of the family-work place and the work place-family have statistically negative interrelationships and impacts with/on job satisfaction. In terms of sub-fact categories, it is revealed that work itself has more impacts than personal persuasion based on people's value. Secondly, the results of this study concerning the conflicts in a family and the workplace shows the same result with the previous studies. They are formed by mutual interactions of cause and effect. Thirdly, it turned out that differences in Enneagram Personality Types have statistically significant impacts on job satisfaction. The result also shows that thinking-centered personalities and behavior-centered personalities have more impacts on job satisfaction than emotion-centered personalities. Study result indicates that more wide use of a psychology consultation program for workers and their families, EPA(Employee Assistant Program). It also shows that introductions of personality trainning programs and personality coaching programs are required.
