Objectives: The objective of this study is to evaluate the job characteristics of container terminal workers by applying the Job Strain model, and to assess the relationship among the general characteristics, job characteristics and psychosocial distress. Methods: A self-administrated questionnaire survey was performed to the container terminal workers in Pusan. Among the 200 male workers who answered the questionnaires, white-collar workers and blue-collar workers were 100, respectively. Karaseks Job Content Questionnaire was utilized to evaluate the job characteristics and Psychosocial well-being index (PWI) was applied to measure the extent of their psychosocial stress. Results: In white-collar workers, the skill discretion, created skill, decision-making authority, decision-making latitude, psychological job demand, and supervisor support of the job characteristics were significantly high, while in blue-collar workers physical exertion was significantly high. The result of Psychosocial well-being index (PWI) reveals that blue-collar workers were more stressed than white-collar workers, especially, the indices of depression (factor 2), sleeping disturbance and anxiety (factor 3), General well-being and vitality (factor 4) were significantly increased; whereas, in white-collar workers, only the index of social performance and self-confidence (factor 1) was significantly increased. And PWI scores were significantly increased in the lower social support and psychological job demand. By the multiple logistic regression analysis for PWI, blue-collar workers had increased odds ratio of 2.66(95% CI;1.11-6.41) compared with white-collar workers. The unmarried workers increased odds ratio of 3.54(95% CI;1.18-10.62) compared with married workers. And workers who have not own house increased odds ratio of 2.35(95% CI;1.15-4.79) compared with workers who have own house. Particularly, odds ratio of work-shift in blue-collar workers was 11.10(2.14-57.64). Conclusion: Skill discretion, created skill, decision-making authority, decision-making latitude, psychological job demand, and supervisor support were increased in white-collar workers. Decreased skill discretion and increased physical exertion were found in blue-collar workers, which is supported the Job Strain model. Job stress of blue-collar workers was comparatively higher than that of white-collar workers, especially, skill discretion, decision-making authority, decision-making latitude, job insecurity, physical exertion were noticeable factors. Especially, sleeping, smoking, and work shifting turned out to be a main cause that increases stress. Therefore, in order to decrease the job stress, a health promotion program to change the health behaviors should be activated and an organized job stress management program should be introduced. Especially, working condition for blue-collar such as physical exertion and work-shift should be improved.

In this paper, we examine American career self-help advice in the context of white-collar labor market changes in the U.S., especially how it tries to motivate and empower white-collar job seekers and how fundamentally flawed this is. In this regard, we focus on What Color Is Your Parachute? by Richard Nelson Bolles, as it is the foundational and representative literature in the field of career self-help advice. We first look at the white-collar labor market changes in the U.S. and the growth of career self-help advice along with its influence. We then show that What Color Is Your Parachute? seeks to motivate and inspire job seekers by defining job searching in individual terms and overlooking its structural nature. From this, we point out the most problematic aspect of career self-held advice, i.e., shifting job search responsibility as well as its outcome solely to individual job seekers, while also making it difficult to scrutinize and understand the broader context affecting job searching.

생산직과 사무직 간 구강건강수준에 관한 인식의 차이와 이에 관련되는 변수를 파악하고자 만 20세 이상의 생산직 근로자 200명과 사무직 근로자 100명을 편의 추출하여, 2011년 3월 1일 부터 2011년 3월 30일 사이에 설문지 조사를 실시하고, SPSS VERSION 19.0으로 분석하였다. 구강건강수준의 인식에는 3가지 하위요인으로 신체적, 심리 사회적, 정신적 요인이 존재함을 요인분석을 통하여 확인할 수 있었다. 심리사회적 요인의 경우 연령별, 근무형태별 차이가 있었다. 생산직의 정신적 요인을 제외한 직종 간 차이 없이 신체적, 심리사회적, 정신적요인의 구강건강수준의 인식은 양적 관계를 나타냈다. 직종 간 구강건강수준의 인식에 영향을 미치는 변수는 생산직의 경우 4변수에 의하여 51%, 사무직의 경우 시린 치아 1변수에 의해 30% 설명될 수 있었다. 따라서 구강건강수준의 인식이 생산직과 사무직의 근로자 간 다르다는 것을 시사한다. 그러므로 직종 간 구강건강증진사업은 차별화 되어야 하며, 근로자는 자신들의 치아 상태에 관심을 가지고 있으면서도 예방을 위한 행위에는 매우 소홀한 경우가 많으므로 개인의 예방지향적인 계속구강건강관리 사업을 통하여 구강건강증진을 실천해야한다.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between four aspects of clothing behavior and perceptual orientation, and between those and job satisfaction of white-collar men. Those aspects of clothing behavior included: clothing conformity, clothing satisfaction, status symbol and occupation symbol. Perceptual orientation was measured with Choi's Perceptual Orientation Scale and job satisfaction, with some items of Miller's The Attitude Toward Any Occupation Scale. Clothing comformity and clothing satisfaction were measured with Kahng's, lung's, Koh's and Lee's questionaire. Status symbol was measured with Koh's and Lee's questionaire, and occupation symbol items were prepared for this study. The questionaire in this study were administered to 323 white-collar workers in Seoul. The statistical methods utilized Pearson'a product moment correlation, one-way ANOVA test, Duncan's multiple range test and multiple regression analysis. The results obtained from this study were : 1. Perceptual orientation was positively correlated to clothing satisfaction, and negatively correlated to status symbol. 2. Job satisfaction was positively correlated to clothing satisfaction and clothing comformity. 3. Clothing conformity, clothing satisfaction and job satisfaction showed significant differences according to occupation.

본 연구에서는 2013년 국민건강영양조사 자료를 이용하여 30~64세 무직을 제외한 근로자 1,750명 (남성 892명, 여성 858명)을 대상으로 화이트칼라와 블루칼라로 직업군을 분류하였으며 이를 통해 직업군에 따른 대사증후군의 구성요소와 유병률 및 영양 상태를 비교 연구하였다. 그 결과 대사증후군 영향 요인으로 작용하는 사회경제적 지표인 교육수준과 소득수준에서 남녀 모두 화이트칼라가 블루칼라보다 높았다. 대사증후군 유병률을 살펴보았을 때, 남성의 경우 블루칼라 35.1%, 화이트칼라 26.8%로 블루칼라가 화이트칼라보다 높게 나타났으며, 여성의 경우 블루칼라 24.8%, 화이트칼라 8.9%로 블루칼라가 화이트칼라보다 대사증후군 유병률이 높았다. 남녀를 비교하였을 때는 여성보다 남성에서 대사증후군 유병률이 높은 것으로 나타났다. 대사증후군 구성요소의 유병률에서는 남성의 경우 고혈당이 블루칼라가 화이트칼라보다 유의적으로 유병률이 높았으며 여성의 경우 복부 비만, 고혈압, 고혈당, 고중성지방혈증, 저HDL콜레스테롤혈증 모두 블루칼라가 화이트칼라보다 유의적으로 유병률이 높았다. 음식군별 1회 섭취량을 고려하여 주당 섭취빈도를 살펴본 결과 직업군별 남성의 경우 블루칼라가 화이트칼라보다 밥류의 주당 섭취빈도가 많았으며 빵 떡류의 주당 섭취빈도는 화이트칼라가 블루칼라보다 유의적으로 많이 섭취하였다. 여성의 경우는 블루칼라가 화이트칼라보다 국 찌개류의 주당 섭취빈도가 많았으며 과일류의 주당 섭취빈도는 화이트칼라가 블루칼라보다 유의적으로 많이 섭취하였다. 영양소 섭취량은 총 에너지 섭취량을 제외한 나머지 영양소 섭취량에서 남녀 모두 화이트칼라가 블루칼라보다 많이 섭취하였다. 따라서 본 연구 결과 남녀 모두 대사증후군 유병률은 블루칼라가 화이트칼라보다 높았으며 특히, 여성의 블루칼라에서 대사증후군과 그 구성요소의 유병률 비율이 높게 나타나 대사증후군 중재 및 예방을 위한 영양교육이 필요할 것이다. 또한, 남녀 모두 블루칼라가 화이트칼라보다 영양소 섭취 및 식사의 질이 전반적으로 저조한 것으로 나타나 블루칼라의 올바른 식습관 개선이 필요하다고 사료된다. 결론적으로 본 연구를 통해 성별에 따른 직업유형별 대사증후군 유병률과 영양소 섭취 상태가 상이하므로 이를 고려한 근로자들의 질병 예방을 위한 맞춤형 영양교육 서비스가 필요하다고 사료된다.
