Purpose: The purpose of this study was to develop and test a structural model on work-related musculoskeletal disorders of women workers. Method: Data were collected from 237 women workers from industries such as electronics, food production and garment production, and analyzed by LISREL 8.54. Result: The fitness indices of the model are GFI=.87, NNFI=.91, PNFI= .74. Eight out of the ten paths were proved to be statistically significant: work environment$\rightarrow$social support, work environment$\rightarrow$health behavior, work environment$\rightarrow$-WMSDs, domestic work$\rightarrow$health behavior, social support$\rightarrow$health behavior, social support$\rightarrow$job satisfaction, health behavior$\rightarrow$job satisfaction, and job satisfaction$\rightarrow$WMSDs. Work environment. social support, health behavior and job satisfaction significantly influenced WRMDs. WRMDs were accounted for 35% by the predictor variables. Conclusion: In conclusion, this study identifies that work environment, social support, health behavior and job satisfaction are important factors affecting WMSDs. Therefore, in order to prevent WRMDs, it is most important to improve both physical work environment for female workers such as appropriate work station and tools fit for them and psychological environment such as less job demand and more decision latitude(worker control).

The outbreak of COVID-19 has significantly impacted various facets of individuals' lives, including perceptions, leisure activities, work-family balance, and overall life satisfaction. This study aims to explore the intricate relationships among changes in perceptions due to COVID-19, leisure activity satisfaction, work-family conflict, and life satisfaction of married working women. Employing path analysis, we examined a dataset of 1,973 married working women drawn from the 8th Korean Women and Families Panel Survey. The findings indicate that while changes in perception associated with COVID-19 did not directly affect leisure activity satisfaction and life satisfaction, they did significantly decrease work-family conflict, indirectly leading to heightened life satisfaction. Additionally, leisure activity satisfaction emerged as a mitigating factor for work-family conflict, contributing to enhanced life satisfaction. These results emphasize the importance of understanding the interplay between external factors, individual perceptions, and well-being, offering insights for devising tailored strategies. The study holds significance in guiding policies and interventions to enhance the quality of life for married working women in the context of evolving pandemic challenges.

The goal of this research was to find the relationship between the work environment and societal issues that impede women's advancement to senior management positions. The study included 500 women professionals from diverse firms in Pakistan's business sector, of whom 100 were chosen as the sample size using a purposive sampling method. Experts confirmed the validity of the study tool, which was a questionnaire, and Cronbach's alpha coefficient was used to verify its reliability (0.704-0.982). The model's standardized regression coefficients suggested that social factors (0.298) were the most important factors determining women's empowerment in terms of career development and that they were further influenced by factors related to the work environment (0.411). It was concluded that organizational rules for female employees assist them to maintain a balance between work and family, resulting in a less stressful working environment. The role of the social factor as a mediator is also thought to be important in maintaining a healthier work environment in companies. It was also determined that much more work needs to be done on promotional regulations, as well as gender-blind legislation so that women's professional advancement is not limited to middle management.

본 연구는 일과 가정 간의 관계가 여성 근로자의 성과에 미치는 영향을 파악하여, 여성 근로자의 일과 가정의 원활한 관계 유지와 더불어 갈등 관계를 감소시킴으로써 일과 가정의 균형을 통해 여성 근로자의 근로생활의 질을 높이고 우수 여성인력의 효과적인 활용을 극대화 할수 있는 지원제도의 조절효과를 살펴보고자 하였다. 이를 위해 중소기업 사무직에 종사하는 850명의 여성 근로자를 대상으로 설문조사하였으며, 연구대상이 아닌 직종과 불성실한 응답을 제외하고 최종 500부를 실증분석에 활용하였고 분석결과는 다음과 같다. 첫째, 일과 가정 간 조화 관계는 여성근로자의 직무만족과 조직몰입에 유의한 정(+)의 영향을 미치는 것으로 분석되었다. 둘째, 일과 가정간 갈등 관계에 있어서는 직무만족에 부(-)의 영향을 미치지만, 조직몰입과는 유의한 영향관계가 없는 것으로 나타났다. 셋째, 일과 가정 간 관계와 성과를 조절하는 비업무적 지원제도의 조절효과에 대한 가설을 검증한 결과, 비업무적 지원제도의 조절효과가 있는 것으로 밝혀졌다. 요컨대, 본 연구에서는 여성근로자의 일과 가정 간 조화 관계의 중요성을 입증하였으며, 여성근로자의 일과 가정 간 갈등 관계를 최소화 할 수 있는 지원제도의 구축, 특히 비업무적 지원제도를 기업에서 시급히 마련해야 할 것으로 연구결과는 시사하고 있다.

The purpose of this study was to investigate how work-family spillover differed by employment status of married women and to identify factors related to the differences. This study drew a sample of 332 self-employers, 181 unpaid family workers, and 1,053 wage workers from the 2014 Korean Longitudinal Survey of Women and Families. It was found that negative work-family spillover did not differ by employment status of married women. However, positive work-family spillover was found the lowest in family workers. The regression analysis showed that the difference remained after controlling socio-demographic characteristics, average working hours, and the number of days off per week. The factors related to negative spillover were age, the presence of young children, working hours, and the number of days off. Findings from this study suggest that family workers are most disadvantaged in terms of work-family spillover. Yet there is no policy developed for them. Family policy needs to take them into account in planning and implementing services.

이 글은 영국의 시간제 근로의 특징과 그 제도적 맥락을 분석하고 있다. 노동시장에 대한 규제와 여성의 노동시장 참여에 대한 지원이 낮은 영국에서는 시장주도의 시간제 활용이 일찍부터 발달했다. 시간제 근로는 영국 취업 여성의 40 퍼센트를 차지할 정도로 특히 기혼 여성들의 주요한 일자리이다. 시장의 역할과 개인의 선택이 강조되는 영국에서 시간제 일자리는 고용주 주도의 시장의 유연성에 기여하는 방식으로, 그리고 여성들이 일과 가족 사이에서 시간제 근로를 통해 여성들 자신의 노동시간을 조정하는 주요 수단으로서 작동했다. 그러나 1997년 이후 영국에서는 제도적 개입을 강화하는 변화가 있었고, 시간제 근로를 기혼 여성을 위한 제한적 일자리로부터 보편적 유연근로로 변화시키려는 법적, 제도적 노력이 있었다. 이러한 변화는 시간제 근로에 대한 불이익은 원칙적으로 시정할 수 있게 되었으나, 여전히 이해당사자들 사이의 집합적 해결방식보다는 개별 근로자와 고용주 사이의 개인화된 해결방식으로 영국이 접근함으로써 여성들의 고용패턴, 그리고 시간제 근로의 질적 성격에 큰 변화는 나타나지 않았다.
