Purpose - The purpose of this study is to examine the effect of performance-related pay on gender labor productivity differences theoretically and empirically. Design/methodology/approach - This study analyzes the Principal-Agent model in which a firm employes many male and female workers under moral hazard, and uses large survey data from Survey of Business Activities of MDIS (MicroData Integrated Service) in Korea. The fixed-effect model is employed in order to analyze the data. Findings - The theoretical result is that, after performance-related pay is offered to workers, the effect of performance-related pay on gender productivity is determined by whether the female ratio within firm affects firm's performance(such as revenue and profit) per capita. The empirical result is that, before performance-related pay is provided for all workers, the firm's female ratio does not affect firm's revenue and profit per capita at all, but after it is offered, the female ratio positively affects firm's performance per capita. Research implications or Originality - Fixed pay does not bring about the difference between male and female productivity, but performance-related pay affects female productivity more positively than male productivity in Korean firms. It means that female workers are more sensitive to incentives than men in Korea.

본 연구는 1985~2004년 기간 중 한국 노동시장에서의 성별 임금격차의 변화를 분석하였다. Oaxaca and Ransom(1994)의 분해방법을 사용하여 성별 임금격차를 생산성 차이와 가격 차이(관찰되지 않은 생산성 차이 및 차별)로 분해하고, 임금격차에 대한 인적자본 특성별 기여도를 분석하였다. 실증분석 결과에 의하면, 지난 20년간 생산성 차이에 의한 임금격차는 크게 줄어들었으나 가격 차이에 의한 임금격차는 매우 미미한 감소세를 보였다. 가격 차이에 의한 임금격차는 미혼여성에 비해 기혼여성에게서 훨씬 크게 나타나서, 육아부담 등으로 인한 관찰되지 않은 생산성 차이가 성별 임금격차에 영향을 미친다는 가설을 지지한다. 가격 차이에 의한 임금격차는 또한 남성집중직종에 비해 여성집중직종에서 훨씬 작으며, 이는 여성 고용에서 네트워크 외부효과가 존재할 가능성을 뒷받침한다.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to examine the differential effect of workforce diversity on employee productivity and its subsequent impact on customer experience. Research design, data and methodology: A once-off cross-sectional research design was used in this study where the Zimbabwean civil service was targeted. Randomization was used to collect 324 validated responses. The study focused on both primary (age and gender) and secondary (education and political affiliation) dimensions of workforce diversity. Results: The results were confirmatory that workforce diversity is a significant predictor of employee productivity (β = 0.668, P < 0.05), at the same time employee productivity holds explanation to customer experience by 37%. Results also revealed that gender diversity, educational diversity and political diversity were significant determinants of workforce diversity (P < 0.05). However, the study established that age diversity was not a significant factor in enhancing employee productivity (P > 0.05). Conclusions: The study concluded that workforce diversity is a powerful tool in enhancing both customer experience and employee productivity. As such, the latter can be augmented through shrewd workforce diversity practices as championed by management. To that end, the study recommends the development of a workforce diversity framework which promotes inclusivity.

This study analyzed the factors that influence the research productivity of 236 graduate students who are funded by the Global Ph.D. Fellowship Program of the National Research Foundation of Korea. Research productivity was measured by the number of SCI publications, and the explanatory factors are the demographic factor, the financial factor, the reputation of institutions and the supervisor factor. This study included 2 indices such as the reputation of institutions and the research productivity of supervisors to check the halo effect unlike other studies. Results are as follows: 1) no gender difference, 2) better performance by younger age group, 3) no difference even if the students are additionally funded by other research support programs, 4) no halo effect by the reputation of institution but rather better performance from low ranked universities, 5) and a positive halo effect by supervisors.

Development of village chicken production can be a sustainable way of helping to meet the welfare needs of rural populations and raise their living standards. There is a dearth of information on research conducted to characterize, understand and develop the village chicken production systems in Zimbabwe. This review focuses on constraints, opportunities and research needs for the improvement of village chicken productivity in Zimbabwe. Village chicken production in Zimbabwe is extensive and dominated by indigenous chickens that exhibit remarkable adaptation to local environments. The multitude functions of village chickens, which include the provision of high quality protein meat and eggs, cash through sales and socio-cultural roles, are discussed in detail. Human gender aspects in village chicken production are highlighted. The factors that hamper village chicken productivity are reviewed together with opportunities and research needs. The major constraints include shortage of feed, poor health and housing management. Any improvements in these constraints may lead to sustainable increase in village chicken productivity.

This study investigates the productivity of Indonesian social scientists during the COVID-19 pandemic, with a particular concentration on their contributions to COVID-19 prevention and management. By categorizing social science research according to themes such as authors' gender, authors' institution of origin, forms of collaboration, and journal quality, this study examines the patterns and factors that influence research output. Using information from the Scopus database, 1,071 journal articles were analyzed in total. The findings indicate that collaborations with foreign researchers considerably improve productivity and publication quality, with Malaysian and Australian institutions serving as the most active partners. Nevertheless, there are gender disparities, as female authors write and are cited less frequently than male authors. The study stresses the importance of increasing international collaboration among Indonesian authors and implementing affirmative action policies to support and empower female researchers. This study contributes to the existing body of knowledge by providing policymakers, funding agencies, and academic institutions with recommendations for fostering a more inclusive and influential research environment in Indonesia.

Discourse is regarded as an important component of communication assessment, but studies about the discourse characteristics of the elderly are scant. The purpose of this study was to confirm the effects of aging, gender, and educational level on discourse in elderly people with normal cognitive function. Forty normal elderly and forty young people participated in this study. A picture description task (Boston Cookie-Theft picture) was used to examine discourse function. The description task was analyzed for both productivity (total number of sentences, total number of syllables, and syllables per sentence) and semantics (CIU ratio). The results were as follows: 1) Only CIU ratio differed significantly according to age. 2) In the total number of syllables and syllables per sentence, females demonstrate a higher number than males. 3) The CIU ratio differed significantly according to educational level. These results suggest that impairment of communicative function is an aspect of cognitive impairment that can be related to aging. Also, discourse performance in the elderly is associated with their gender and educational level.

창조경제를 견인하기 위해 다양성과 창의성이 중시되는 환경에서 여성과학기술인력의 활용은 무엇보다 중요해지고 있으며, 경제적 지위를 측정하는 기준으로 노동의 시장가격인 임금에 대한 분석을 통해 성차별을 인식하고 개선하기 위한 노력이 필요하다. 이에 본 연구에서는 Oaxaca-Ransom 임금분해 방법(1994)을 활용하여 과학기술인력을 대상으로 남녀 임금에 미치는 영향 요인 및 성별 임금 분해를 실시하였다. 연구결과는 다음과 같다. 첫째, 과학기술인력의 특성을 살펴보면 여성의 평균 임금 수준은 남성의 65%에 불과하며, 학력 등 개인적 특성에서 남성이 우세한 것으로 나타났다. 둘째, 임금에 영향을 미치는 변수를 살펴보면 여성과 남성 모두 학력 연령이 높을수록, 근무기간 및 주당근로시간이 많을수록, 관리자 직종에 근무할수록 임금 프리미엄이 존재하는 것으로 나타났다. 셋째, 남성과 여성의 임금분해 결과를 살펴보면, 과학기술인력의 경우 개인적 특성에 의한 생산성 차이가 약 58%, 노동시장에서의 특성에 기인한 성별에 의한 차별은 41%로 나타났다. 비과학기술인력에 비교하였을 시 과학기술인력이 생산성으로 인한 임금격차가 크며 성별에 의한 차별은 덜 한 것으로 나타났다. 그러나, 전공별 및 학력별로 분석한 결과 성에 의한 여성차별은 전체 인력 중 여성의 비율이 낮을수록 노동시장에서 임시근로자 비율이 높을수록 심한 것으로 나타났다. 이를 개선하기 위해서는 여성과학기술인력의 노동시장에서의 여성 불균형 현상이 무엇보다 필요하며, 여성스스로는 개인의 역량을 지속적으로 강화하는 노력이 수반되어야 할 것이다.

1980년대 이후 특허 데이터를 이용한 많은 연구가 있었지만, 특허문서에 나온 기술 개발자의 정보를 이용한 연구는 큰 진전을 이루지 못하였다. 이는 해외 모든 국가의 경우 특허에 기재된 개발자의 이름만으로는 동일인 파악이 어렵기 때문이다. 한국 특허 데이터에 포함된 개발자의 식별번호, 생년, 그리고 성별 정보를 이용하여, 본 연구는 생애주기에서 개발자의 기술개발 생산성이 어떻게 변하는지, 세대별로 생산성의 향상이 있었는지 분석하였다. 앞으로 이 개발자 패널데이터를 이용하여 기술개발의 중요한 요소인 기술인력에 관한 연구가 크게 진전되리라고 기대한다.

This research is aimed at grouping for the extent to which the workers' job satisfaction influences productivity with a view to improving theirs, shedding light on the difference between the workers' concepts of job satisfaction and those of the executives of the matter in terms of the statistic characteristics of individuals and coming up with efficient measures to put the Korean tax accounting offices into smooth operation. The paper is suggesting a total of eight hypotheses, and the researcher tested those with the help of difference analyses and a regression analysis. The findings reveal that there was a difference in productivity in accordance with academic background, positions and total number years of work, etc. but tat there was no difference in gender. And superiors and pay among the factors of job satisfaction influenced productivity, whereas promotion and coworkers didn't. The worker subjects and the executive subjects turned out to differ in terms of pay levels, the welfare of the works, and the level of their ability to carry out their business in regard to the actual situation of tax accounting offices in Korea.
