Purpose : The purpose of this study was to identify the degree of work ethics of an occupational therapist and examine the correlation between work ethics and organizational commitment. In this study, we aimed to investigate the effects of occupational therapists' work ethics on organizational commitment. Through this study, we aim to determine the importance of work ethics and find a way to improve organizational commitment in occupational therapists. Methods : We conducted nationwide surveys on occupational therapists working in hospitals and other institutions from April 24, 2023 to May 30, 2023. We evaluated general characteristics, work ethics, and organizational commitment. General characteristics were analyzed using a frequency analysis. Work ethics and organizational commitment were examined using descriptive statistics. The correlation among work ethics and organizational commitment was analyzed using the Pearson correlation coefficient. Additionally, a multiple regression analysis was conducted to identify factors that affected organizational commitment. Results : The results of this study were as follows. First, the average score of work ethics was 3.32 ± .32. Second, a significant positive correlation was observed between work ethics and organizational commitment (p<.01). And as a result of the correlation between work ethics sub-factors and organizational commitment, wasted time (r=.261, p<.01), centrality of work (r=.366, p<.01), morality/ethics (r=.470, p<.01), leisure (r=.189, p<.05), delay of gratification (r=.410, p<.01), hard work (r=.437, p<.01), self-reliance (r=.233, p<.01) showed a statistically significant correlation. Third, the sub-factors of work ethics that influenced organizational commitment, including morality/ethics (𝛽=.302, p<.01), hard work (𝛽=.271, p<.01), and delay of gratification (𝛽=.205, p<.01) were identified. Conclusion : In conclusion, the results of this study underscore the importance of work ethics in influencing organizational commitment.

이 연구는 1인가구가 계속 증가하는 현상과 함께 1인가구를 주제로 한 연구가 축적되어야 한다는 필요성 그리고 사회적으로 워라밸(일-생활 균형)에 대한 관심에 주목하여 취업 1인가구의 일-생활 균형 실태를 파악하고자 수행되었다. 1인가구 중에서 미혼 20-30대 11명을 대상으로 심층면접을 통해 1인가구로서의 일상생활, 일-생활의 실태 그리고 일-생활 균형과 관련된 사례 분석을 실시하였다. 연구 결과, 1인가구로 살게 될 때의 자발성, 1인가구 삶에 대한 준비와 계획 등은 1인가구 삶에 대한 만족도에 영향을 미치는 중요한 요인으로 나타났다. 자기계발이나 여가활동에 있어서 돈과 시간이라는 자원의 영향이 크다는 점도 확인할 수 있다. 가족과의 소통과 교류에서, 직접적인 대면은 충분치 않지만 메신저 사용을 많이 하고 있으며, 떨어져 사는 가족 특히 부모님과의 관계에서 경제적, 정서적, 가사노동의 상호 지원이 이루어지고 있음을 알 수 있다. 또한 참여자들은 직장생활을 경험하면서 일-생활 균형의 중요성을 더욱 인식하게 되었고, 일과 대비되는 생활의 영역에서 자기계발, 여가활동의 의미가 부각되고 있다. 또한 일-생활 균형의 장애요인으로 업무부담 외에 돈과 시간이라는 자원의 제약을 발견할 수 있다. 일-생활 균형을 위해서 경제적 지원 그리고 유연근무제와 같은 제도에 대한 요구가 나타났다. 이러한 결과를 통해 1인가구로서의 삶을 준비하고 계획하는 데 도움을 주는 가정경영 및 가족자원관리 교육의 필요성을 확인할 수 있다. 나아가 다양한 집단의 일-생활 균형을 위해 맞춤형의 사업과 제도가 활성화될 필요가 있을 것이다.

We investigated the work-life balance of clinical professors in charge of patient care, research, and education at medical schools and the demand for work-life balance support according to position (professor, associate professor, or assistant professor). In total, 163 clinical professors completed the consent form and participated in the study. They filled out an online survey consisting of questions about essential characteristics, a work-life balance test, stress, burnout, work-life satisfaction, and work-life balance support needs. We analyzed the results by analysis of variance and cross-tabulation using IBM SPSS ver. 23.0. Differences were found in work-life balance, stress, burnout, and satisfaction with life and work by position. The requirements for support for work-life balance also varied by professional status. Professors had a higher balance between life and work than associate professors or assistant professors. The specific requirements for work-life balance support were also slightly different for each position. Overall, there was a high demand for work process simplification and efficiency for work support, flexible working hours and sabbatical years for family and leisure, and career management consulting and training support for growth. Assistant professors and associate professors had a lower level of work-life balance than professors, as well as higher levels of stress and burnout. Professors' job satisfaction was also higher than that of the other groups. Based on the results of this study, we hope that a healthy work environment can be established through work-life balance support suitable for clinical professors' positions.

This study aimed to identify differences in the level of work-life balance as well as the effect of independent variables, including family (sharing family work, support for working), organization (culture, support services and systems), and community variables (accessibility to and amount of work-life balance programs), on work-life balance in South Korea, Japan, and the U.K. For these purposes, data were collected from 311, 324, and 322 married, working women (from 30 to 50 years of age) from Korea, Japan, and the U.K., respectively. It was consistently shown that U.K. employees scored higher in work-life balance than Korean and Japanese employees. Compared with Japan and the U.K., Korean participants were significantly lower in terms of work-leisure balance and work-self-development balance. The regression analysis revealed that 'sharing family work with partner' was commonly important and a major factor in all three countries. A 'supportive organizational culture' predicted work-life balance for Korean and Japanese participants, while work-life balance programs had a powerful effect on work-life balance only for U.K. participants. In the case of community variables, there were no significant effects for U.K. participants with regard to work-life balance. In contrast, 'the amount of work-life balance programs offered' was shown to affect the work-life balance of Korean working women, while 'accessibility to the programs' was significantly influential in Japan. We interpret these results according to social, economic, political, and psychological factors.

Background: Physical exercise during leisure time is known to increase physical capacity; however, the long-term effects on work ability and work strain are inconclusive. The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of a 6-month physical exercise program on work ability and work strain after 6 months and 30 months, among women with menopausal symptoms at baseline. Methods: A questionnaire including questions on work ability and work strain was mailed in the beginning, at 6 months and after 30 months after the intervention to occupationally active women participating in a randomized controlled study on physical exercise and quality of life. The intervention included aerobic exercise training 4 times per week, 50 minutes per session. Work ability was measured with the Work Ability Index (WAI) and with questions about physical and mental work strain. Results: Women aged 47-62 years (N=89) who were occupationally active at baseline were included in the analyses. The increase in WAI from baseline to the end of the exercise intervention (6 months) was statistically significantly greater among the intervention group than among the control group (regression coefficient 2.08; 95% confidence interval 0.71-3.46). The difference between the groups persisted for 30 months. No significant short- or long-term effects on physical and mental work strain were found. Conclusion: A 6-month physical exercise intervention among symptomatic menopausal women had positive short-term as well as long-term effects on work ability.

Stress at work and in the family is a very common issue in our society that generates many health-related problems. During recent years, numerous studies have sought to define the term stress, raising many contradictions that various authors have studied. Other authors have attempted to establish some criteria, in subjective and not very quantitative ways, in an attempt to reduce and even to eliminate stressors and their effects at work and in the family context. The purpose of this study was to quantify so-called cushioning variables, such as control, social support, home/work life conciliation, and even sports and leisure activities, with the purpose of, as much as possible, reducing the negative effects of stress, which seriously affects the health of workers. The study employs data from the Fifth European Working Conditions Survey, in which nearly 44,000 interviewees from 34 countries in the European Union participated. We constructed a probabilistic model based on a Bayesian network, using variables from both the workplace and the family, the aforementioned cushioning variables, as well as the variable stress. If action is taken on the above variables, then the probabilities of suffering high levels of stress may be reduced. Such action may improve the quality of life of people at work and in the family.
