The present study investigated the effect of area-specific social networks on urban workers life satisfaction. For this, 356 adults over age 20 were interviewed from June 17th 2013 to June 29th 2013. The findings are as follows: First, the closeness of family network index demonstrates that participants with higher affective support have higher life satisfaction. In addition, stronger extended family network brings more life satisfaction and so does a bigger friendship network. Secondly, the extended family network explains 17.6% of the variance in social networks follows by family network, other network, and friendship network, respectively. The closeness variable of social networks yields statistical significance on all categories of networks. The affective support level in the closeness variable of social networks shows differences as well; family network positively associates with life satisfaction. The purposes of this research are to investigate the actual conditions of urban workers' life satisfaction and the influence of family, extended family, friendship, and other variables on life satisfaction. If social networks have an influence on life satisfaction, to find the domain of social networks that holds the most influences on life satisfaction is an important ground in the process of implementing regional welfare.

The purpose of this study was to investigate social workers' personal experiences providing social support to multi-cultural family in a multi-cultural family center. The data were collected through in-depth interviews with 14 social workers at the multi-cultural family center, and were analyzed using a phenomenological research method. The major findings were as follows : The social workers' personal experiences with and understanding of social support were classified as 4 categories : 'source of emotional support to the multi-cultural family', 'diverse and systematic educational support', 'excessive demands on material support', and 'daily life support and connection with community network'. The social workers recognized emotional and educational support as essential factors in providing social support to multi-cultural family. However, the social workers' perceptions of material support derived from negative personal experiences stemming from excessive demands and misunderstanding for material support. These results showed that social workers at the multi-cultural family center provided multi-cultural families with social support and that they interacted with community support system and multi-cultural families to increase their satisfaction.

본 연구는 청소년 한부모의 사회적 배제와 사회적 관계망 특성이 부모효능감과 양육스트레스, 부정적 양육 행동에 미치는 영향과 한부모가족 정책 지원의 조절효과를 검증하는 것을 목적으로 한다. 자료는 한국청소년정책연구원에서 실시한 '청소년 임신 출산 및 자녀 양육 실태조사' 원자료 중 일부로, 조사 당시 자녀를 양육 중인 24세 이하의 청소년 한부모 262명의데이터만을 추출하여 분석을 실시하였다. 주요 결과는 다음과 같다. 첫째, 청소년 한부모들은 경제적으로 어려운 비양친 가정에서 자란 경우가 절반에 가까우며, 대부분 비취업 상태에서 월평균 60만원 정도의 소득으로 미취학 자녀를 양육하고 있어 자립이어려운 상황이었다. 둘째, 청소년 한부모의 부모효능감 향상에는 가족 등의 지지가, 바람직한부모 행동 유발에는 가까운 이들과의 밀도있는 관계가 유의미한 영향 요인으로 검증되어 사회적 배제보다 사회적 관계망이 양육 태도와 행동에 영향을 미치고 있음을 알 수 있었다. 셋째, 청소년 한부모의 부모효능감과 양육 스트레스에 있어 사회적 배제 및 사회적 관계망으로 인한일부의 부정적 영향이 정책 지원으로 완화됨이 검증되었다. 분석을 통해 한부모가족 정책 지원이 물리적 차원을 넘어 일부 심리정서에 영향을 미칠 수 있는 사회적 기제임이 밝혀졌으며, 중장기적으로 소득과 고용지원, 수당지급 형식 외에 양육 기술 습득 등의 조력이 가능한 돌봄지원을 강화해야 함을 제안하였다.

This study will examine the relationship between social support from the work and family domains, referred to as multiple social network ties (MSNT), and employees' job and family-related performance outcomes during the COVID-19 crisis. The study also demonstrates the importance of employees' work-family balance (WFB) in moderating the association between MSNT and job and family-related performance. A two-wave design was used to collect data from 320 managerial level personnel in Pakistan's textile sector. The path analysis technique of structural equation modelling (SEM) was used to analyze the responses. In times of crisis, social support mechanisms could potentially replace organizational support mechanisms for employees dealing with work and family obligations, according to the study. The findings of this study show that work-family balance is a significant partial mediator between MSNT and employees' job and family-related outcomes during the COVID-19 pandemic, according to a best-fit model. This research supports the pragmatic view of MSNT's action mechanism in generating jobs for employees and family-related results, especially in uncertain situations. According to the findings, employees who have a positive work-life balance are happier and more productive in both work and personal life. It has major implications for human resource management (HRM) research and practice.

본 연구에서는 농촌지역 거주 노인 254명을 대상으로 배우자, 자녀 및 손자녀까지 포함하여 이들 각각의 관계망을 사회관계망의 분석 변수를 적용하여 첫째, 농촌노인의 가족관계망 특성을 가족관계망 형태, 상호작용 빈도, 상호작용 내용으로 구분하여 살펴보았으며 둘째, 가족관계망 특성에 따라 가족관계망의 형태를 유형화 하고 이에 따른 농촌노인들이 느끼는 주관적인 생활만족도에 어떠한 차이가 있는지, 농촌노인의 생활만족도에 영향을 미치는 주된 변인은 무엇인지를 살펴보았다. 그 결과, 첫째, 비동거 자녀와의 전화연락이나 대면접촉 정도가 높고 긴밀하게 이루어지고 있는 것으로 나타났으며 배우자와 자녀 및 손자녀의 지지에 대한 기대정도를 살펴본 결과, 모든 대상에게서 농촌노인들이 가장 높은 지지의 기대를 드러낸 것은 '정서적'인 지지였다. 둘째, 가족관계망의 유형화를 시도한 결과, '관계소원형', '자녀-손자녀중심형', '가족의존형', '부부중심형'의 네 가지 상이한 가족관계망 유형이 나타났고 이중 '부부중심형'의 생활만족도가 가장 높게 나타났다. 농촌노인의 생활만족도에 영향을 미치는 주된 변인은 성별, 건강상태, 경제상태, 학력, 배우자의 정서적 지지, 손자녀와의 대면접촉 정도로 나타났다. 셋째, 연구결과를 바탕으로 농촌노인의 생활만족도를 높이기 위한 사회복지 정책적, 제도적인 차원의 노력을 뒷받침하기위한 몇 가지 제언을 제시하였으며 아울러 본 연구가 갖는 한계점도 밝혀두었다.

Many leading companies provide family-friendly policies for a good work-family balance and to increase the productivity of their workers. The workers receive such benefits as family leaves or financial support for caring for their dependents. But the employees need much more support than these benefits to properly care for their families. This study examines the role of the companies in the expansion of family-friendly policies to the community. A few companies see community relations-such as investing in community programs-as linked to work-family policies. Accordingly, this study suggests the best practices and alternatives of many companies. This study also examines the role and perspectives of the Family-Friendly Support Center as an organization that can lead the community involvement of the business. This center can promote the company's collaboration and network of stakeholders.
