본 연구는 문화복지 실천가들을 대상으로 그들이 실천유형에 따라 어떠한 방식으로 역량강화전략을 구사하고 있는지를 심층적으로 분석하였다. 분석결과 문화복지 실천가들은 우선 문화복지를 불안정한 휴먼서지스직이라는 인식을 하고 있는 것으로 나타났다. 또한 문화복지 실천가의 활동 유형을 크게 전문적 참여활동가와 기능적 참여활동가로 유형화 할 수 있으며, 이들은 하나의 연속선상에서 양극단에 위치한 것으로 볼 수 있다. 때문에 문화복지 실천가의 역량강화 전략은 이들의 실천유형에 따라서 차이가 있는 것으로 밝혀졌다. 이들의 역량강화전략과 관련하여서는 이를 순기능적으로 진작시켜주는 촉진요소가 있는가 하면, 역기능적으로 작용하는 저해요소가 있는 것으로 나타났다. 이들 실천가들은 역량강화를 위해서 그들이 전문직군으로 인정받을 수 있도록 하는 공식적인 요건 마련과 그들에게 맞는 다양한 교육스펙트럼을 높일 것을 제안하고 있다. 문화복지 실천가들의 역량강화 인식을 분석한 본 연구는 향후 이들에 대한 교육과 슈퍼비전, 인력양성정책에 기초자료를 제공하고 있다는 점에서 의의가 있다.

Decommissioning of nuclear facilities should be accomplished by assuring the safety of workers because decommissioning activities of nuclear facilities are under high radioactivity and work difficulty. It is necessary that before decommissioning, the radiation exposure dose of workers has to be evaluated and assessed under the principle of ALARA (as low as reasonably achievable). Furthermore, to improve the proficiency of decommissioning environments, method and system need to be developed. The legacy methods of exposure dose measurement and assessment had the limitations to modify and simulate the exposure dose to workers prior to practical activities because those should be accomplished without changes of working routes under predetermined scenarios. To simulate a lot of decommissioning scenarios, decommissioning environments were designed in virtual reality. To simulate and assess the exposure dose to workers, human model also was designed in virtual environments. These virtual decommissioning environments made it possible to real-time simulate and assess the exposure dose to workers. It can be concluded that this system is able to protect from accidents and enable workers to improve his familiarization about working environments. It is expected that this system can reduce human errors because workers are able to improve the proficiency of hazardous working environments due to virtual training like real decommissioning situations. In the end, the safety during decommissioning of nuclear facilities will be guaranteed under the principle of ALARA.

In road work zones, pedestrian workers' habituated inattention to warning alarms from construction vehicles can lead to fatal accidents. Previous studies have theorized that human factors such as personality traits may affect workers' inattentiveness to workplace hazards. However, there has been no study that directly examined how road construction workers' personality traits affect their attention to warning alarms within a work zone and the likelihood of engagement in a struck-by accident. This study examines how workers' sensation-seeking (especially boredom susceptibility) is related to inattention to warning alarms while performing a task in road work zones. An experiment with actual road construction workers was conducted using a virtual road construction environment. Workers' attention to repeatedly presented warning alarms was measured using eye-tracking sensors. In response to workers' frequent inattentive behaviors, a virtual accident was simulated. Results revealed a significant association between boredom susceptibility and workers' engagement in the virtual accident, a consequence of inattentiveness to warning alarms. The findings suggest that workers' personality traits predispose them to tune out warning alarms and become vulnerable to accidents in road work zones. The findings of this study can be used to develop targeted interventions aimed at preventing workers' inattention to repeatedly exposed workplace hazards, thereby contributing to reducing fatal accidents in road work zones.

The concept of workers' participation in occupational health was introduced to Korea recently in relation to primary health care in occupational health. But there is confusion and debate about workers' participation concept. The purpose of this study was to review the concepts of workers' participation and to conduct evaluation the workers' participation status in occupational health and safety, 394 workers and 54 employers (5.6%) in north area of Kyunggi-Do, were selected and interviewed with a questionnaire by a trained interviewer from August to September 1990. In general, the concept of workers' participation is based on industrial domocratisation and Declaration of Human Rights which had been powerful ideologies in labor movement. Contrary to workers' participation, community participation is rooted in the Health Rights. So, it is necessary to consider concept of workers' participation to improve participation. The results of survey were as follows. 1. Most of companies (71.75) carried out occupational health education to workers in study area. 2. The Occupational Safety and Health Committee (OSHC) were set up in 24.1% among the study companies, and 72.7% of workers among respondents thought that OSHC was helpful to workers health. 3. The workers signed his name to personal health report in 43.1% and the rate of participation in occupational environment examination was 54.9%. 4. The workers prefer the OSHC (39.3%), owner (35.1%) and union (25.8%) as a occupation health organisation, but owners prefer OSHC (54.5%), manager (43.2%) and union (2.3%). 5. Among the factors of the general characteristics, the existence of labor union was a major determinant of workers' attitude and level of workers' participation. As we have seen, most levels of workers' participation are low in occupational health. The variable of existence of labor union among the factors was a ma determinant of workers attitude and level of workers' participation. Therefore, in order to promote workers health, it is necessary to ponder long deeply on occupational health care system under the viewpoint of workers' participation.

2004년 고용허가제의 도입과 함께 시작된 외국인 노동자의 유입은 60만 명 수준으로 증가되었다. 하지만 이들의 권리 보장과 처우개선을 위한 제도적 뒷받침은 부족한 실정이다. 이는 한국이 이주노동자를 수용, 통합의 대상이 아닌 일시적 거주자이자 노동력으로 인식하기 때문일 것이다. 그 결과 이주 노동자들의 법적 지위와 권리 보장은 인권 보다는 이들의 활용측면에 치우치고 있으며, 인권적 보호는 미비하다는 비판을 받고 있다. 이러한 상황에서 이 논문은 한국 국회의 다수석을 차지하고 있는 4개 정당(더불어 민주당, 자유한국당, 바른정당, 정의당)의 19대 대통령 선거 공약을 분석하여 이주노동자 정책이 어떻게 전개될 것인지 예측했다. 연구 결과 이주노동자에 대한 정책이 언급되지 않은 정당이 두 곳이었으며, 나머지 두 정당 또한 현재의 정책을 유지하는 선이었다. 이는 이주노동자를 일시적 거주자로 인식하는 것이 가장 큰 원인일 것이다. 하지만 이들도 한국 사회의 구성원이자 보장받아야 할 인권의 소유자임을 주지하고 이들과 함께 살아갈 수 있는 방향의 정책 수립이 고려되어야 할 것이다.

Developed in the study is the analysis of human factors involved in accidents of Korean Construction Projects. The 556 cases are sampled from a survey material 'Serious Accident Cases in the Construction Projects' edited by Korea Industrial Safety Corporation in 1995 through 1997. The analysis of these cases shows that existing classification system is not good for practical applications in real spots since they are difficult for engineers to understand. In this paper, human factors are classified into three groups by extracting the analysis and arrangement of the cases. Futhermore, We'll propose here a new type of accident which is subdivided. If engineers use this type of accident, they will be probably able to analyze efficiently human factors which are involved in accidents and relatied with how it happen. In the case of fall and upset accidents, personal factors seem to be critical when workers are horizontally moving in an unstable manner, and vertically moving without boarding facilities. Futhermore work environmental factors are important when workers release some materials and are performing building and dismantling tasks.

It is known that human factors account for 80 percent of all railway accidents. To reduce human errors must be the most efficient shortcut to railway safety. For public transportation employees like railway, the more delicate safety management should be executed in individual level. However, there are rarely efforts to improve safety performance of workers who are the subject operating the railway system. This paper develops a hierarchy model to evaluate the human safety performance in railway industry. To evaluate the model, AHP (Analytic Hierarchy Process) methodology is adopted. The hierarchy model is composed of four levels which are objective, two criteria, specific factors of criteria, and rating scales. In addition, since employees for evaluation are over 10, the pairwise comparisons for rating scales are carried out by the absolute measurement. We explore the applicability of AHP to the performance evaluation of railway safety workers by an example and also investigate the changes of alternatives that are railway employees according to the changes of human characteristic which is one of criteria.

Purpose - The purpose of this paper is to develop a tractable general-equilibrium model of examining the impact of human resource management on intra-industry trade. Commonly, managers of Korean firms are promoted internally. It necessitates a study of human resource management and its impact on an industrial equilibrium. Design/methodology - This paper relies on theoretical analysis. We build a model in firms are hierarchical; an entrepreneur, managers, and workers. All individuals have heterogeneous managerial talents, which are the main source of managerial quality. Firms search talents for prospect managers, and eventually delegate them to supervise workers. The searching incurs a sunk cost. Findings - Our finding is as follows. Country 1, relatively abundant of managerial talents, can gain more from trade than Country 2, relatively scarce of managerial talents. This is because the higher searching cost leads to the lower survival rate of firms in Country 2. Implicatively, good jobs are destroyed, and aggregate income falls in Country 2. Originality/value - According to our study, relative abundance of managerial talents affects distribution of firm size and determines trade gain. This study can contribute to the literature of organization management and trade.

Background: Safety climate and occupational stress are related with occupational accident. The present study tried to identify the differences in safety climate and occupational stress according to occupational accidents experience and employment type (e.g., direct workers and subcontract workers). Methods: In this study, we conducted a survey using safety climate scale and Korean Occupational Stress Scale and classified the participants into four groups: direct workers working for accident-free departments, direct workers working for accident departments, subcontract workers working for accident-free departments, and subcontract workers working for accident departments for 2 years within the same workplace in the shipbuilding industry. Results: The direct workers and subcontract workers showed diverse results in subscales of safety climate and occupational stress. This result is supported by existing studies; however, further study is necessary for more supporting evidence and elaborative methodological approach. Conclusion: The necessity of management for safety climate and psychosocial factor such as occupational stress for both direct workers and subcontract workers as a whole is suggested by this study.

The children of sex workers in Bangladesh are denied even the most basic human rights. This article is based on recent research focused on the children of sex workers in the context of their everyday lives. The study focused on access to education and how education could be a vehicle for them to break the vicious cycle of exploitation. This was a mixed method interpretative study which employed qualitative and quantitative approaches, but in this paper only qualitative data which was generated through in-depth interviews and focus group discussions is used. Data was collected from sex workers, their children, teachers and NGO workers who participated in the study. Information has been collected for analysing the expectation of the children of sex workers and hope for the future, and the opportunities available to them during their schooling. Thematic analysis technique was used to understand the challenges and barriers faced by the children of sex workers in fulfilling their educational aspirations. The lives of the children of sex workers are marginalised by the mainstream society. Though it is very difficult to break the vicious cycle of exploitation, this research finds that education may be a stepping stone for them to create a better future. However, it is argued that the children of sex workers need income generating vocational and technical education to enable them to earn and support their family. Policy recommendations have been made in order to achieve Education For All targets and Millennium Development Goals, and to provide a second chance for these vulnerable young people to have a better life.
