In an ever-tougher competitive environment caused by globalization, domestic companies are increasingly adopting business strategies aimed at continuously securing competitive advantage by taking advantage of globally-competitive foreign professionals. Despite a persistent rise of such trend, domestic researches regard migrant workers as the socially underprivileged, and delve into the issue of migrant workers from the policy, welfare, and ethical perspectives. With a growing need to deal with migrant professionals from the strategic viewpoint - to acquire professional talent in an era of global competition, it becomes essential to verify the real effectiveness of migrant professionals. Yet, there has been relatively little discussion of it. This study assumes that based on th137e integration-learning perspective on diversity, the greater the number of foreign professionals, the greater the effect on organizational innovative performance. Also could be effective in managing diversity is diversity-friendly HRM which involves eliminating discrimination against migrant professional workers and treating them fairly. Based on the data collected from 72 domestic companies, this study conducted an empirical analysis of the impact of the percentage of foreign professionals in the total workforce on organizational innovative performance and of the moderating role of diversity-friendly HRM. The results show that the proportion of foreign professionals in the entire workforce has had no significant impact on organizational innovative performance, and that the proportion of foreign professionals in the total workforce and diversity-friendly HRM have had a interaction effect on organizational innovative performance. Based on these research results, the study attempted to interpret the significance of the proportion that migrant professionals make up of the total workforce and of diversity-friendly HRM in relation to organizational innovative performance, and their implications for diversity management.

Purpose: This study explores how demographic transitions with workforce implications taking place in South Korea are affecting the job market, and proposes a novel conceptual model to analyze the increased role that migrant workers will play as the changes progress in the medium term. Research design, data and methodology: A qualitative approach based on the available published data is used in order to create a conceptual model that could be used to determine the order in which job sector strata will be gradually taken over by migrant workers, as the demographic transitions will create an increasing need for workforce reforms. Results: The study determines that migrant workers will replace domestic Korean workers in a stratified manner, initially in rural areas, followed by regional cities and then in the industrial areas on the edges of big cities, and the strata can be analyzed based on a proposed four-category model to determine where the opportunities will open. Conclusion: It is possible to use a conceptual model for this phenomenon. Extensive Government planning is needed to avoid possible social exclusion problems and to determine how to keep the economies of rural and regional Korean cities economically viable while they are becoming increasingly depopulated.

Processing mail objects in a mail processing center involves several steps and operations, in particular dispatching as well as sorting by destination. The purpose of this paper is to present a model for the part-time worker staffing and allocation problem as it arises at the parcel sorting area in a mail processing center. The problem is formulated as a mixed integer linear program model to minimize the variable part-time workforce related cost. Hot only the characteristics of the sorting operations but also the dispatching requirements of the vehicles are reflected into the model. Six example problems with three different daily amounts of arriving mail are solved with LINGO to demonstrate the effectiveness of the 7-level induction option for the parcel sorting machine over the current 3-level one. The results indicate that measurable savings can be achieved by departing from current practice.

As globalization accelerates and the trade environment rapidly changes, a more prepared trade workforce is required for the business world. The trade department is an important educational institution that educates and trains future trade talent. Thus, in the evolving trade environment, their role has significant implications for the economic growth of Korea. The present paper is a comparative study of the importance of the university education system in terms of the trade work force through the Person-Organization fit (P-O fit) perspective. We observe that the American trade education system is more oriented to meet and reflect the needs from the real world. It contains a support structure through various governmental organizations that offer financial incentives as well as educational opportunities through internships and other hands-on experiences. The trade education systems in universities in Korea are still static by comparison and are recommended to implement changes that will give students more practical exposure to trade. The governmental and business sectors are also encouraged to support universities in achieving these goals through building a strong cooperative network with university trade departments.

Incorporation of individual learning and forgetting behaviors within worker-task assignment models produces a mixed integer nonlinear program (MINLP) problem, which is difficult to solve as a NP hard due to its nonlinearity in the objective function. Previous studies commonly assume homogeneity among workers in workforce scheduling that takes account of learning and forgetting characteristics. This paper expands previous researches by considering heterogeneous individual learning/forgetting, and investigates the impact of worker heterogeneity in initial expertise, steady-state productivity, learning and forgetting on system performance to assist manager's decision-making in worker-task assignments without tackling complex MINLP models. In order to understand the performance implications of workforce heterogeneity, this paper examines analytically how heterogeneity in each of the four parameters of the exponential learning and forgetting (L/F) model affects system performance in three cases : consecutive assignments with no break, n breaks of s-length each, and total b break-periods occurred over T periods. The study presents the direction of change in worker performance under different assignment schedules as the variance in initial expertise, steady-state productivity, learning or forgetting increases. Thus, it implies whether having more heterogenous workforce in terms of each of four parameters in the L/F model is desired or not in different schedules from the perspective of system productivity measurement.

According to the trend of increasingly sophisticated cyber threats, the need for technology research that can be applied to cyber security personnel management and training systems is constantly being raised not only overseas but also in Korea. Previously, the US and UK have already recognized the need and have been steadily conducting related research from the past. In the United States, by encouraging applications based on related research (NICE Cybersecurity Workforce Framework) and disclosing successful use cases to the outside, it is laying the groundwork for profiling cyber security experts. However in Korea, research on cyber security expert training and profiling is insufficient compared to other countries. Therefore, in this study, in order to create a system suitable for the domestic situation, research and analysis of cases in the United States and the United Kingdom were conducted over the past few years, and based on this, a prototype was produced for the study of profiling technology for domestic cyber security experts.

통상임금 확대 소송, 근로시간단축 추진, 사내하도급 근로자 보호법 제정 추진, 60세 정년연장 의무화의 전격 결정 등은 각각 임금상승 효과를 동반하기도 하지만, 짧은 기간내에 중첩적으로 추진될 경우 급격한 임금상승이 초래된다. 그런데 통상임금을 확대하는 정기상여금은 주로 대기업에서 발견되고, 근로시간단축으로 인한 소득감소는 중소기업에서 더 많이 발생하고, 사내하도급 근로자와 직영근로자 간 임금격차는 대기업에서 많으며, 순수 호봉 내지 연공제도 대기업 정규직에 많이 발견된다. 따라서 주요 노동이슈의 돌직구적인 추진은 대기업 부문의 급격한 임금상승을 초래하고 이 때문에 상대적으로 임금이 하락한 중소기업에서는 산업인력 수급난이 가중되어 산업경쟁력에 치명적일 수가 있다. 주요 노동이슈 처리시 급격한 임금상승 효과가 발생하지 않도록 임금조정 방안 모색이 필요하고, 임금상승을 동반하는 주요 이슈를 패키지딜로 처리할 수 있는 방안 모색이 필요하다.

Globalization and the flow of foreign direct investment (FDI) in the post-pandemic context continue to play a critical role in shaping the workforce of emerging countries. In Vietnam, evidence obtained during the pandemic revealed that the well-being of employees, especially migrant workers, was extremely poor due to both work and non-work factors. This paper examines the most significant factors that impact the well-being of workers employed by various FDI companies in two Vietnamese industrial parks. The survey evidence (n=200) shows that worker well-being is influenced by seven key factors categorized in three dimensions, namely material stressors, social stressors, and human stressors. A further qualitative analysis of 60 participants provides an understanding of the ways in which each factor affects workers' well-being and how elements of well-being in the Vietnamese context are different compared with other countries. Low salaries, lack of social support, work-life imbalance due to job demands, and the interplay between these three determinants significantly affect the overall well-being of workers. In the current business climate, it is important to have well-targeted policies that encourage high-tech investments as well as persuade domestic firms to address low salaries and economic migration. To manage valuable human resources and keep competitive advantages, foreign firms need to authentically implement corporate social responsibility (CSR) initiatives focusing on workers' benefits, especially providing workforce housing. This will bring about win-win outcomes of improved employee well-being and business sustainability.

정부재정에 대한 의존도가 높은 과학기술분야 정부출연연구기관[이하 '출연(연)]에 대해 국회와 언론을 중심으로 연구경쟁력과 비효율성 문제가 지속적으로 제기되고 있다. 이들 외부 관계자는 출연(연) 평균연령의 증가를 비효율의 주된 원인 중 하나로 꼽는다. 평균연령 증가가 인건비 상승, 연구명맥 단절, 신진 연구자 유입 저하 및 연구경쟁력 약화 등을 야기한다는 것이다. 하지만, 출연(연) 내부에서는 평균연령 점증은 입직(入職) 연령증가 등에 따른 자연스러운 현상이며, 연구성과에 미치는 부작용은 낮거나 오히려 그 반대라고 주장한다. 이처럼 논쟁이 극화되고 있음에도 불구하고 평균연령과 연구성과 간의 상관관계를 실증한 기존 연구가 없다는 점은 흥미로운 사실이다. 본 연구는 이와 같은 인식하에 2011년도부터 2015년도까지의 5개년도 출연(연) 연구성과 및 인력구조를 추적 조사 및 분석하고, 평균연령과 연구성과 간의 상관관계의 실증을 시도했다. 그 결과 논문성과와 평균연령은 역U형 상관관계가 존재하고, 최적 평균연령은 44.96세라는 점을 확인하였다. 특허성과에 있어서는 평균연령과의 상관관계를 확인할 수 없었다.
