본 연구는 일과 삶의 균형(WLB : Work-Life Balance)이 대인 조화와 창의적 노력 및 조직 내 혁신 행동을 향상시키는지 여부, 그리고 대인 조화와 창의적 노력이 일과 삶의 균형(WLB)과 혁신 행동 간 관계에 간접 효과가 있는지 여부를 알아보기 위해 수행되었다. 본 연구의 가설 검증을 위해서는 Hayes(2013)의 PROCESS Macro를 활용하였다. 분석 결과 혁신 행동에 영향을 주는 것은 일과 성장의 균형(WLB_G)과 대인 조화 그리고 창의적 노력으로 나타났고 대인 조화에 영향을 주는 변수는 일과 가정의 균형(WLB_F)과 일과 성장의 균형(WLB_G)으로 나타났다. 또한 창의적 노력에 영향을 미치는 변수는 일과 성장의 균형(WLB_G)과 대인 조화였다. WLB의 세 개 하위 변수와 혁신 행동 사이의 관계에서 대인 조화와 창의적 노력의 간접 효과 역시 일부 확인 되었다. 더불어 PROCESS Macro 분석을 통하여 매개변수 간의 효과의 크기를 알아보았다. 이를 통해 일과 가정의 균형(WLB_F)이나 일과 성장의 균형(WLB_G)과 대인조화, 창의적 행동 및 혁신행동 간에는 시너지 관계가 존재하고, 일과 여가의 균형(WLB_L)과 대인조화, 창의적 노력 및 혁신행동 간에는 배타적 관계가 존재함을 알 수 있었다. 향후 다양한 다른 산업 간의 일과 삶의 균형(WLB)에 대한 연구와 일과 삶의 균형(WLB)과 혁신행동에 이르는 다양한 매개변수에 대한 연구가 기대된다.

The change in labor consciousness began to draw social attention to work-life balance (WLB). The WLB is one of the major factors affecting the health and safety problems of workers. Although shiftwork adversely affects WLB, safety, and health problems of workers, WLB of shift workers has received little empirical attention. The purpose of this study was to examine whether WLB mediates the relationship between shiftwork and shift worker's safety and health problems, participation in leisure activities moderates WLB, and finally, whether WLB moderated by participation in leisure activities mediates the relationship between shift work and shift worker's safety and health problems. For the study, the data of the 5^th wave of Korean Working Condition Survey(KWCS) conducted by Korea Occupational Safety and Health Agency(KOSHA) of South Korea was used. Conditional process analysis revealed that the relationship between shift work and worker's safety and health problems is mediated by WLB; however, participation in leisure activity showed no moderation effect on WLB. Therefore, the moderated mediation effect has failed to achieve statistical significance. The results indicate that working environment improvement in consideration of the WLB is needed to gain shift worker's long-term safety and health. The implications of this study and suggestions for future research were discussed.

This study is to study the overall structural relationship between work-life balance(WLB), superior trust, workplace happiness, and organizational commitment. The goal of this study is to study how WLB and superior trust affect workplace happiness, how workplace happiness affects organizational commitment, and the mediating effect of workplace happiness. Survey data were collected from incumbents working in large companies and SMEs, validity and reliability of research items were reviewed, and research hypotheses were tested using path analysis. As a result of testing the research hypothesis, WLB and superior trust have a positive (+) effect on workplace happiness, and workplace happiness has a positive (+) effect on organizational commitment. Also, job satisfaction plays a role as a partial parameter between WLB, superior trust, and organizational commitment. Based on the hypothesis test results, it was confirmed that the higher the level of WLB and superior trust, the higher the level of work satisfaction. Based on the research results, a plan was suggested for Korean corporate members to achieve workplace happiness and organizational commitment.

This study is a meta-analysis based on results of empirical studies related to work-life balance(WLB), and the relationships between WLB and other variables. In order to achieve this objective, articles published in domestic journals prior to December 2018 were collected. Data was collected using an online database provided by the Korea Educational and Scientific Information Service, and a total of 27 studies and 126 sub data were coded. Data was analyzed using CMA (comprehensive meta-analysis) 3.0 program. Results of this study are as follows. First, the overall mean effect size of WLB was 0.365, indicating a small effect size. Second, the effect sizes of dependent variables influenced by WLB included immersion, innovation, and performance in order. Third, the effect size of organizational focus variables was more than twice as big as that of individual focus variables. Fourth, the negative theoretical background dependent variables of WLB, such as sacrifice, job stress, and turnover showed -0.254 effect size, and the positive theoretical background dependent variables, such as job satisfaction and emotional commitment have mid-size effect (0.576). Fifth, the effect size of independent variables were in the order of work-development balance, work-home balance, and work-leisure balance.

The objective of this study is to understand the influence of Work-Life Balance (WLB) support system on employee engagement (organizational commitment and job commitment) and to examine the moderating effect of perceived organizational support (instrumental and emotional) on the relationship between WLB and employee engagement. To test the research model and hypotheses, this study analyzed 537 responses from employees of sample companies that were carrying out the WLB support system during the period of December 1 through 31, 2014, and the results of the analysis are as follows: First, the correlation between employee engagement (organizational commitment) and the WLB support system showed that the influence of WLB support system on employee engagement(organizational commitment) was greater in the order of growth, job, and family support system. Second, the correlation between WLB support system and employee engagement(job involvement) showed that growth and job support system had significant relationship. Third, in the relationship between WLB support system and employe engagement(organizational commitment), there was no moderating effect of perceived organizational support. Fourth, in the relationship between the WLB support system and employee engagement(the job involvement), both institutional and emotional supports factors of the perceived organizational support had moderating effects in the relationship between growth support system and employee engagement(job involvement). This study has academic significance in that it is an empirical study examining the relationship between the WLB support system and employee engagement, which has not actively investigaged in Korea.
