  • As globalization accelerates and the trade environment rapidly changes, a more prepared trade workforce is required for the business world. The trade department is an important educational institution that educates and trains future trade talent. Thus, in the evolving trade environment, their role has significant implications for the economic growth of Korea. The present paper is a comparative study of the importance of the university education system in terms of the trade work force through the Person-Organization fit (P-O fit) perspective. We observe that the American trade education system is more oriented to meet and reflect the needs from the real world. It contains a support structure through various governmental organizations that offer financial incentives as well as educational opportunities through internships and other hands-on experiences. The trade education systems in universities in Korea are still static by comparison and are recommended to implement changes that will give students more practical exposure to trade. The governmental and business sectors are also encouraged to support universities in achieving these goals through building a strong cooperative network with university trade departments.

  • Despite its remarkable socioeconomic development, South Korea underperforms in terms of female labor force participation and women in leadership positions. As women appear to avoid nuclear engineering, we aim to evaluate its relative performance in attracting women to its labor force compared to other college majors. Using college-major level information from 2000, we test whether the female faculty share in nuclear engineering is lower than its counterparts. Although nuclear engineering has one of the lowest female faculty shares, its share exceeds that of agricultural science, business and economics, chemical engineering, chemistry, civil engineering, and industrial engineering once we properly control for gender composition among students and other compounding factors. In other words, once female students major in nuclear engineering, they are less likely to leave their fields compared to their counterparts in other disciplines. This result implies that if the nuclear engineering field aims to attract more women to its workforce, it is important to target them from the early stage of their careers.

  • 우리나라의 인구변화의 양상은 사망률의 감소, 평균수명의 연장으로 고령화, 여성화 추세이며, 더불어 출산율의 저화와 고령화 인구의 비율이 더욱 증가되고 있다. 어려운 인력수급으로 건설노무자는 외국인에 의해 충원되고 있으며 미국, 유럽, 중국 등과 FTA의 체결로 노동집약적 산업이 쇠퇴하면 건설노무자의 일자리는 지속적으로 줄어들게 된다. 이것은 건설 기능인력의 부족현상과 기능 인력의 노무비 증가로 국가의 경제적 사회적 환경에 중대한 영향을 주어 건설업 생산성 저하의 주요 요인이 되고 있다. 따라서 이 연구는 건설업 생산성을 위해 최근 자료로부터 국내 건설경기 동향, 산업별 생산성 지수, 산업별 취업자 추이, 연령 계층별 기능인력 추이, 여성 기능 인력 추이, 노동시간 추이, 외국노동자 인력 추이, 건설업의 수주동향 분석, 업체규모별 수주동향, 건설경영분석지표로부터 노동생산성에 관한 종업원 1인당 부가가치 분석으로 건설업생산성 발전전망을 제시하였다.

  • This article explores the relationship between the gender composition of scientific research teams and scientists' individual performance. The gender composition of research teams is an important feature of workplace settings and influences the way people interact and communicate; however, previous research has not directly examined its relationship with scientists' individual performance. Drawing on data collected on university faculties in China in 2016, this article tests several hypotheses about individual's performance in teams with different gender compositions. The results show that team gender composition has a clear gendered effect on scientists' individual performance. The effects of tokenism for women in men-majority teams is proven, but men in women-majority teams appear to be unaffected by tokenism. Moreover, the theories claiming that homogenous teams are more conducive to better individual performance than mixed teams are supported for men but not for women. The findings of this research suggest that recruiting more women into the scientific workforce may improve their performance and thereby help diminish the gender gap in performance. It also indicates that the Chinese preferential policies towards women in science formulated in recent years have had positive impacts. However, considering that more than half of the researchers in the survey are working in men-majority teams, the task of narrowing the gender gap in performance remains a challenge. Further work is needed to explore the tensions and benefits of working with the opposite gender.

  • 미군은 테러와의 전쟁을 시작한 후, 민간요소가 강조되는 민사작전에 필요한 정보를 획득하는 여성 인력으로만 구성된 문화지원팀(CST)과 여성 근접전투팀(FET)을 운용하여 여성 인력의 강점을 활용하기 시작하였으며 험지의 차폐된 지형이나 주민 사이에 은·엄폐하여 기습공격을 감행하는 저항세력을 제압하기 위해 상황이해능력, 침착함, 세밀함이 뛰어난 여성 인력을 무인 항공기 운용 요원(RPA)으로 운용하였다. 이러한 미군의 여성 인력 활용 사례는 미래 한반도의 전장 환경에서도 미군이 경험한 상황이 한반도에서도 재현될 수 있기 때문에 테러와의 전쟁간 여성 인력의 강점을 활용한 미군의 교훈을 통해 우리 군은 미래 전장 환경에서의 불확실성을 극복할 수 있을 것이다.

  • There is a growing concerns for startups and management issues in the small business sector. In the Korean unique condition, female-owned small business seemed to play a crucial role in stimulating domestic demands and replacements for workforce reductions in the time of reduced birth rates and export-driven economy. Despite importance of female-owned small businesses, domestic statistics about female small businesses are not well recognized and defined. To design the current entrepreneurship training programs for female entrepreneurs more female-friendly, we need to improve overall environments surrounding training systems. We can classify the environmental improvement for women-friendly entrepreneurship training into three types as follows: First, it is needed to conduct regular surveys on difficulties female entrepreneurs may have. To develop a program for women-friendly entrepreneurship training, extensive and thorough survey is required for entrepreneurship training goals. To design women-friendly entrepreneurship training for women entrepreneurs henceforth, preliminary surveys should be carried out to detect problems within the course of the program and women's expectation regarding entrepreneurship training. Second environmental improvement is to overcome the lack of information on entrepreneurship training for women. Difficulties that women entrepreneurs experience are different from their counterparts, male. Last is about overcoming the lack of follow-up management after opening a business. To surmount the issue, we need to organize a management improvement consulting systems focused on female entrepreneurs. Establishing networks connecting female businesses should be the most urgent measure. With this regard, if follow-up services for female entrepreneurs are provided for at least three years from the time a business is opened, it may produce even more desirable results.

  • 이 연구는 지역 기반 산업의 인력 수요와 SWOT 분석을 통한 특성화 고등학교 개편에 관한 사례연구로서 경기 지역의 주요 기반 산업인 전기 전자 통신 산업의 인력 수요 분석과 SWOT 기법에 의한 학교현황 분석을 통하여 중등직업교육기관으로서의 특성화고등학교의 본래 기능인 취업률 향상을 위한 학교 개편 방향을 제시하는 데 있다. 이 연구의 결과는 다음과 같다. 첫째, 수원${\bigcirc}{\bigcirc}$여자고등학교는 전기 전자 통신관련 산업체가 밀집되어 있는 경기지역에 위치하고 있어, 관련 산업분야로의 취업에 유리한 입지 조건을 갖추고 있으므로, 지역에서 요구하는 산업 인력을 양성하는 육성 전략이 필요하다. 둘째, 지역 산업의 요구에 부응하는 인력 양성을 위한 특성화고등학교 운영체제를 유지하면서, 전기 전자 통신 산업의 흐름에 맞는 교육과정 개발 방향을 다음과 같이 두 가지로 생각해 볼 수 있다. 하나는 기업과 공조하여 기업에서 요구하는 능력에 맞춤형으로 교육함으로써 취업이 보장되는 '기업 연계 맞춤형' 교육과정으로의 개편이다. 현실적으로 기업과 연계하는 것이 용이하지 않고, 불안정한 경제 속에서 위험부담이 있다는 단점이 있으나, 교육과정 운영이 특정 기업에 얽매이거나 왜곡되지 않으면서 장기적인 안목을 갖고 기업과 공조하여 취업률을 높일 수 있다는 장점이 있다. 다른 하나는 '산업 연계 맞춤형' 교육과정으로의 개편이다. 이는 특정 기업에 초점을 맞추는 '기업 연계 맞춤형' 보다 선택의 폭이 넓고, 취업의 기회가 다양화되므로 안정적인 인력 수요 공급이 가능하며, 특화된 기술 수준의 교육과정을 지속적으로 유지할 수 있다는 장점이 있다.

  • Purpose: The plan proposed by the Ministry of Health and Welfare in 2012 did not reflect the position of nurses and focused only on how to increase the number of nurses. There is a need for coming up with a specific and viable alternative plan considering the qualitative aspect of nursing, delegation of nursing tasks, the in-death analysis of the reasons for leaving the nursing profession, and the legal standards based on varying nursing tasks. Methods: Drawing on a review of existing literature, this report was written to examine policy directions and the factors that influence the institutional environment that regulates the supply and demand of the nursing workforce in Korea. Results: Implementing the government's plan for introducing a new type of nurse, the registered practical nurse, which generally requires a two-year associate's degree, must be reconsidered. Also, a concrete plan to make use of unemployed nurses and to close the salary gap between nurses working at hospitals in cities and those working at hospitals in rural areas must be prepared. Furthermore, there is a need for introducing a new rating system aimed at boosting the quality of nursing care in small-and medium-sized hospitals, thereby increasing the number of nursing professionals who provide high quality care. Conclusion: In preparation for expected poor quality of care and looming unemployment crisis due to the increase in the number of nursing professionals, a practical and concrete plan for the supply and demand of the nursing workforce should be made. The Korean Nurses Association should mount a profession-wide campaign to make the government formulate a new and viable policy on the supply and demand of the nursing workforce.

  • Objectives: The objectives of this study were to find the influential factors of dental hygienists' work environment and level of perception of rights on their retention intention, and to provide basic data for protecting their rights and interests and improving their employment rate. Methods: From June 6 to July 24, 2021, a questionnaire survey was conducted among 214 dental hygienists via an online link. After questionnaire collection, IBM SPSS program (ver. 21.0; IBM Corp., Armonk, NY, USA) was used to conduct frequency analysis, t-test, one-way ANOVA and multiple regression analysis. Results: The significant and positive influential factors of dental hygienists' retention intention were married individuals (p=0.022), fewer working hours (p<0.001, p=0.007), good work environment (p=0.002), higher wages (p<0.001, p<0.001), higher education (p=0.032), and perception of rights in a mid-level (p=0.038). Conclusions: It is necessary to consider wages and welfare equivalent to dental hygienists' work intensity and workload. By regularly educating dental hygienists to increase their perception of rights, expanding an opportunity of participation, and improving their work environment, it will be possible to increase their retention intention and efficiently establish manpower in dental clinics.
