본 연구의 목적은 이주노동자의 한국어능력, 사회적지지, 문화적응스트레스가 희망과 생활만족도에 미치는 효과를 알아보는 것이다. 구조방정식모형 분석 결과, 사회적지지 및 문화적응스트레스는 희망을 통해 생활만족도에 영향을 주는 것으로 나타났다. 이주노동자의 한국어능력은 중간 정도이며, 읽기는 높은 반면에 듣기와 말하기는 낮게 나타났다. 희망의 매개 역할을 통계적으로 검증해본 결과, 희망은 한국어능력이 생활만족도에 미치는 영향을 매개하고 있으며, 사회적 지지와 문화적응 스트레스가 생활만족도에 영향을 미치는데 있어서도 매개 역할을 하고 있는 것으로 나타났다. 희망이 높을수록 생활만족도가 높아지는 결과로 희망이 생활만족도에 가장 직접적인 원인이라는 것을 알 수 있다. 따라서 이주노동자의 희망에 언어교육뿐만이 아니라 그들에게 가족과 이웃의 역할이 중요하다는 의식을 개선할 수 있는 기회를 제공해야 한다. 이주노동자들이 사회구성원으로서 역할을 할 수 있도록 지역사회 공동체 운동을 적극적으로 펼치고, 이와 함께 이주노동자들의 한국생활 적응을 위한 효과적인 평생교육 프로그램을 기획하여 제공해야할 것이다.

Design/methodology/approach - A survey was conducted on 152 foreign laborers who lived in Korea. First, an exploratory factor analysis was performed to confirm reliability and validity. Second, an multiple regression was conducted based on the reliability and exploratory factor analysis results. Third, the mediation regression by checking the effect of organizational commitment. Findings - The acculturation and organizational fairness were found to have a great influence on job satisfaction, and this study found that perceived acculturation had an effect on job satisfaction through the mediating effect of organizational commitment. In addition, organizational fairness was also found to have an effect on job satisfaction as a mediating effect of organizational commitment.

During the past two decades, the Southeast Asian region has experienced a range of major crises. Service industries such as tourism and the marginal and migrant laborers who work in them have usually been at the sharp end of these testing events, from natural and environmental disasters, epidemics and pandemics, global financial slumps, terrorism, and political conflict. The latest challenge is the "Novel Coronavirus" (Covid-19/SARS-CoV-2) pandemic. It has already had serious consequences for Southeast Asia and its tourism development and these will continue for the foreseeable future. Since the SARS epidemic of 2002-2004, Southeast Asian economies have become integrated increasingly into those of East Asia (China, Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, Hong Kong). This paper examines one of the most significant current crises, Covid-19, and its consequences for Southeast Asia, its tourism industry, and its workers, comparing experiences across the region, and the issues raised by the over-dependence of some countries on East Asia. In research on crises, the main focus has been on dramatic, unpredictable natural disasters, and human-generated global economic downturns. Not so much attention has been devoted to disease and contagion, which has both natural and socio-cultural dimensions in origins and effects, and which, in the case of Covid-19, evoke a pre-crisis period of normality, a liminal transition or "meantime" and a post-crisis "new normality." The transition is not straightforward; in many countries, it operates as a set of serial lockdowns and restrictions, and to predict an uncertain future remains difficult.

Background: The expatriate population in Qatar largely comprises workers from the Indian subcontinent which has a very high rate of oral malignancy. Social and cultural habits and as well premalignant risk factors in this population remain prevalent even after migration. Materials and Methods: This cross sectional study assessed the prevalence of risk factors and occurrence of oral precancerous lesions in a low income group expatriate community from the Indian subcontinent residing in Qatar. Results: Among the 3,946 participants screened for oral premalignant lesions 24.3% (958) were smokers and 4.3 % (169) were pan chewers while 6.3% (248) were users of both smoked and smokeless forms of tobacco. Significantly higher proportion of industrial laborers (49.9%) followed by drivers (24.1%) were found to be smokers (p=0.001). The prevalence of white lesions was higher in smokers versus non-smokers 3.5% versus 2.3% (p=0.111), however this difference was statistically non-significant. Red and white lesions were highly significant (i.e. 1.2 % and 10.9% respectively) in the subjects with pan chewing and smoking habits (p=0.001). A significant proportion (8.9%) of the subjects with pan chewing habit showed evidence of oral precancerous lesions (p=0.001). Conclusions: Even though smoking and pan chewing were two significant risk factors detected in this population, their prevalence and occurrence of premalignant lesions are low as compared to the studies conducted in their home countries.
