This study verifies the effectiveness of developing and implementing a leadership educational program specifically customized to improve of leadership competencies among members of multicultural family support centers and healthy family support centers. This program refers to Triangle Leadership that consists of three categories: finding individual strengths and self-esteem to enhance self-leadership, constructing a vision and roadmap to develop transformational leadership, and stress and teamwork management for competent servant leadership. In order to improve its completeness, focus group interview was adopted for 10 employees in the center and supervised by two professionals. The program was also conducted twice for 142 members of multicultural family support centers and healthy family support centers across the Korea. The result of implementation (with regard to the satisfaction level for the contents of the program) showed that both first and second rounds had improvement in all three categories compared to what was expected before taking the education program. The level of satisfaction for instructor and program operation was more enhanced (as well for the second time) compared to the first round. The evidence of program effectiveness indicates that there is a high anticipation for another approach that suits for the circumstances and requirement of centers and facilitator training.

The number of Healthy Family Support Centers has dramatically increased during the past eight years since the Framework Act on Healthy Families was enacted. This phenomenal growth is largely credited to Certified Healthy Family Specialists (CHFSs). Despite their contributions, the job and working conditions of the CHFSs have rarely been explored from the insiders' perspective. In this study, we aim to delineate CHFSs' job and working conditions from their own narratives in order to improve an understanding of CHFSs' profession and work environment. We conducted in-depth interviews with nine CHFSs and a focus-group interview with five CHFSs. Our findings revealed that CHFSs took pride in their professions, internalized their professional mission of enhancing family strengths, and highlighted CHFSs' unique professional role in comparison to other human services professionals. In conclusion, CHFSs showed a strong professional identity consisting of rich professional knowledge, solid career goals, and integrated socio-political values. Contrary to the positive perception of the CHFSs' job, CHFSs expressed challenges in their working conditions in terms of small-scale organizations at local Healthy Family Support Centers, a heavy workload, hierarchical relationships with local government officers, and the unsatisfactory payroll and promotion system. This study contributes to a better understanding of CHFSs' job and their working conditions and provides insights on how to enhance professionalism among CHFSs and their work environment. As for policy implications, we suggest advancing qualifications for CHFSs, improving professional training programs for current CHFSs, and expanding small-scale organizations.

The purpose of this study was to conduct Latent Profile Analysis to identify the types of marriage values within each generation and explore the influence of gender, family health, and self-determination on each type. This study was conducted as an online survey through social networking sites (SNS) for the Second Generation of Baby Boomers (1965~1974), Generation X (1975~1984), Generation Y (1985~1996), and Generation Z (1997~2003). A total of 1,114 copies were used for the final analysis. Latent Profile Analysis was conducted using Mplus ver. 8.8 software to identify the types of marriage values within each generation and explore the influence of gender, family health, and self-determination on each type. The significance of this study lies in the identification of a group in each generation that holds ambivalent values about marriage. Additionally, we identified differences between gender and self-determination as variables that affect marriage values, excluding family variables. Therefore, it is significant to understand marriage values by considering generational characteristics. Based on this, it is believed that it can provide a basis for education and counseling programs related to marriage, reflecting the important variables unique to each generation.

The purpose of this study is to explore the housing pathways of middle-class married women toward owning a first home. In doing so, an in-depth interview as a qualitative method was conducted, life history was utilized to track down the path to first-home owning, and all the interviews were transcribed for analysis. The research participants were well-educated middle-class full-time housewives owning a home. The findings indicated that family formation through marriage and child birth was a primary driving force to buy a home. It was shown that owning a home was perceived not just as a stepping stone for building both family wealth and social capital but as one of the most important pillars to reinforcing traditional family values. In spite of some intergenerational distinctions on the path toward home owning, commonalities across generations included that home owning was considered to be a social icon for middle-class, it became almost impossible for younger generations without parental support which stimulated the intergenerational transfer of wealth, and it was greatly determined by both family income (affordability) and home finance options(borrowing capacity). This research implies that the changing social landscape transforms the value on homeownership and could undermine the socioeconomic strengths of home owning. Nonetheless, it's of importance to strategically assist first homebuyers who are likely to be a member of middle-class.

본 연구는 대학생을 대상으로 가족탄력성과 가족건강성에 대한 지각과 가족탄력성의 3가지 하위영역인 신념체계와 조직유형, 의사소통 과정의 하위요인이 가족건강성에 미치는 영향력을 살펴보는데 목적을 두었다. G지역 대학생 409명을 대상으로 대학생이 지각하는 가족탄력성과 가족건강성 수준과 가족탄력성 수준이 높은 탄력집단과 낮은 비탄력 집단 간에 가족건강성의 차이가 나는지 조사하였다. 그리고 대학생이 지각하는 가족탄력성의 하위요인이 가족건강성에 미치는 영향을 살펴보았다. 연구결과 첫째, 대학생들은 가족탄력성과 가족건강성을 높게 지각하고 있는 것으로 나타났다. 둘째, 가족탄력성의 신념체계, 조직유형, 의사소통 과정을 높게 지각하는 탄력집단이 비탄력 집단에 비해 가족건강성 점수가 높았다. 셋째, 인구학적 변인과 가족탄력성의 하위요인이 가족건강성에 미치는 영향력을 살펴본 결과 성별이 가족건강성에 영향을 미쳤으며 남학생의 가족건강성이 높게 나타났다. 가족탄력성의 신념체계, 조직유형, 의사소통 과정 모두 통계적으로 유의하였고 신념체계와 조직유형의 영향력이 크게 나타났다. 신념체계에서 가족강점이 가장 큰 영향 요인으로 나타났고 조직유형은 역할 안정성과 응집력과 가족자원이 유의미하게 나타났으며 의사소통 과정은 협력적 문제해결과 정서반응이 유의한 영향을 미쳤다.

This study examined in detail the Japanese system of redressing consumers' losses and the overall consumer administrative system and compared them with the Korean counterpart to seek for a direction of reforming the systems. Several policy suggestions could be made as follows to activate the systems and improve the performances of the consumer administration in both Japan and Korea. First, in Japan, consumer center must be efficiently operated while private consumer groups, firms, consumer agencies and other organizations must actively join to actively redress consumers' losses and implement other consumer policies. Second, in Korea, regional consumer policies are weak so that they must learn Japanese well-developed regional consumer administration system by examining their current development, strengths, and weaknesses. Third, working conditions must be urgently improved, increasing the number of consumer counselors who are involved in consumer policies as well as to guarantee minimum level of their payment. On the other hand, the trend of hiring married and old employees being responsible for implementing consumer policies in Japan must be improved. Fourth, divisions of works in consumer policies among consumer groups as well as their specialization in Korea are necessary. Finally, as counseling of consumers through internet were not available in Japan, that type of counseling must introduce and become more popular in the future.

이 연구는 여성결혼이민자의 한국사회 정착과 결혼생활 적응을 돕기 위해 실시되고 있는 다문화가족 지원사업의 이용이 실제로 이 여성들의 긍정적 변화를 도와 부부갈등인식 감소와 결혼의 안녕 및 희망에 기여하는지를 조사하였다. 이를 위해 문화상대주의와 강점 관점에 기반 한 지원사업을 수행해 온 전국의 36개 기관들을 통해 수집된 여성결혼이민자 558명의 설문조사 자료가 이용되었다. 구조방정 식모형 분석결과, 예측대로, 지원사업 이용기간, 서비스 이용 빈도 및 이용서비스의 수로 측정된 지원사업 이용은 여성결혼이민자들이 보고한 긍정적 변화와 정적으로 연관되었고, 그런 변화는 이어서 부부갈등인식과 부적인 관계를 보였으며 결혼만족과 결혼안정으로 측정된 결혼의 안녕 및 희망에 정적인 기여를 하였다. 또 긍정적 변화는 결혼의 안녕을 저해하는 부부갈등인식을 낮추어 결혼안녕을 강화하고, 이어 결혼안녕은 희망에 기여하여 이러한 간접경로로 희망을 도왔다. 이 변인들 간의 관계구조는 국내거주기간 및 한국어 능력이 지원사업 이용과 긍정적 변화에 미치는 효과를 통제했을 때 지지되었지만, 아울러 지원사업 이용이 부부갈등에 미치는 직접효과가 정적으로 유의하게 나타났다. 이 결과들은 다문화가족지원사업의 이용이 여성결혼이민자의 긍정적 변화를 도와 희망을 키우며 성공적인 결혼 생활을 촉진할 수 있지만 한편으로 부부갈등을 야기할 수 있는 요소들을 내포하고 있음을 시사하였다. 따라서 지원사업 이용의 순기능을 강화하면서 부부갈등을 초래할 수 있는 역기능적 요소들에 대처할 수 있는 구체적인 방안들이 끝으로 논의되었다.
