Despite the increasing interest in the positive effects of smart-work, the introduction rate of domestic firms in Korea is lower than that of other developed countries. A gap also exists between the introduction of smart-work program and the actual use by workers. Thus, even if the smart-work program was introduced to firms, the actual usage rate of the program would still be lower than the introduction rate. Moreover, even if the program was initially used, evidence suggests that the usage rate tends to decrease rather than being used continuously. In this study, we intend to find out the mechanism by which the continuance intention of smart-work is formed. To achieve this objective, we established a research model based on literature on Information System (IS) continuance model and Information & Communication Technology (ICT) support. We also hypothesize that concerns about career disadvantage in the mechanism plays a negative role in the satisfaction of smart-work. To analyze the hypothesis empirically, we surveyed domestic workers who used smart-work. Our data analysis was based on 333 responses. We found that all paths were statistically significant, except for the direct effect of ICT support on perceived usefulness and the direct effect of perceived usefulness on smart-work continuance intention. The results of this study extend existing IS continuance model and suggest implications for practical smart-work implementation and improvement.

Background: Young male and female workers are over-represented in statistics concerning negative outcomes of poor work environment and risky work. Young workers often have low awareness of risk, a lack of safety training, and inadequate introduction to the work. The aim of this study was to identify the knowledge and experiences of pupils of vocational schools concerning potential work environment risks in their future work. Methods: The study design was a dual one, and included a questionnaire and focus group interviews. The study group consisted of 239 pupils from 10 upper secondary schools, who were graduating pupils in four vocational programs: the Industrial Technology Programme, the Restaurant Management and Food Programme, the Transport Programme, and the Handicraft Programme (in which students specialize in wood products). The upper secondary schools were located in the central region of Sweden. Results: The pupils had limited knowledge that employers must, by law, conduct risk analyses and prevent risks. Many felt that they themselves are mainly responsible for performing their tasks safely. Pupils in all programs mentioned acute risk as the greatest risk at work. The theoretical education about safety at work was provided in the $1^{st}$ year of the 3-year vocational programs. Conclusion: A systematic approach to pupils' training in work environment, which is a basis for a safe and healthy workplace, is lacking. The study findings indicate that pupils are offered knowledge far from that intended by laws and by state-of-the-art occupational health risk research.

돌봄의 경제적 불이익과 성불평등은 서로를 강화한다. 성불평등의 기저에 돌봄의 불평등한 분배와 대우가 자리하고 있다. 돌봄은 성불평등을 심화시키는 경제적 불이익을 초래한다. 돌봄을 수행하는 자는 사회경제적 권력 관계에서 보통 약자의 위치를 점하고 있으며, 사회경제적 약자가 수행하는 돌봄은 그 수행에 대한 공정한 대우와 보상의 목소리를 내기가 어렵다. 그 결과 낮은 경제적 가치를 갖게 된 돌봄을 수행하는 자는 더욱 취약한 사회경제적 지위와 권력 관계에 놓여 불평등한 성별 관계를 지속시킨다. 기본소득 제도는 성불평등을 완화할 수 있는 잠재적 가능성을 지니고 있지만, 돌봄 노동의 특수한 성격이 야기하는 경제적 불이익은 그러한 잠재적 가능성을 희석시킬 수 있다. 기본소득 제도가 여성의 실질적 자유를 실현하기 위해서는 돌봄의 경제적 불이익에 대한 천착과 적극적 개입이 필요하다. 본 논문은 기본소득 지지론자들의 돌봄 노동에 대한 관점을 검토하고, 돌봄노동의 고유한 특성으로 인한 돌봄불이익이 완화 혹은 해소되지 않는다면 기본소득이 도입되어도 돌봄 노동 선택의 성별화를 변화시키는 데 한계가 있다고 주장한다.

During the construction of the project, all surveying and mapping work is collectively referred to as engineering survey. Therefore, the measurement work contains a wide range of content, in the engineering survey, design and construction management stage are involved. To the actual work, the project measurement runs through the project building in a number of stages, and provide basic services. This paper mainly through the analysis of engineering measurement at all stages of the role played by the measurement work in the project management work to do the following description.

Objectives: Depressive disorder (DD) is a complex disease, and the assessment of work ability in patients with DD is also complicated. The checklist depression (CDp) has recently been developed to support such work ability assessments and has been recommended for implementation in insurance medicine, starting with an analysis of the organisational and social contexts. The aim of this study was to identify the potential facilitators and barriers in the use of the CDp by insurance physicians (IPs) during work ability assessments of employees on sick leave due to DD. Methods: A qualitative research was conducted based on semi-structured interviews. The participants were IPs with at least one year of work experience in performing work ability assessments. The interviews were audiotaped, transcribed and analysed qualitatively. Results: Ten IPs (7 males, 3 females; mean 53 years) were interviewed. Important facilitators, which emerged for use of the CDp, were an oral introduction for colleagues and staff, support from management, valuing the increased transparency in work ability assessments with using the CDp, having adequate time for assessments as well as modification of the appearance (colour, plasticised form) and content (clarifying aspects of the examples) of the assessment tool. The fear of the loss of autonomy, lack of added value of the CDp, high workload, inadequate instructions and lack of time were mentioned as barriers. Conclusion: Adequate introduction to the use of CDp and the fear of the loss of autonomy of IPs need special attention in planning its implementation.

Exam administration agreement was signed by the Korean Professional Engineers Association (KPEA) and the National Council of Examiners for Engineering and Surveying (NCEES) at the 2nd National Convention of Professional Engineers on 6 September 2008. Korean engineers can take U.S. Professional Engineer examination under proctor of KPEA in Korea from next April. It helps to broaden for Korean young engineers to have a chance to work and to be recognized as a professional engineer in the U.S. This is a brief introduction of U.S. Professional Engineer system and examination.

Four pairs of draught oxen (two local and two Jersey crossbred) were studied when they ploughed dry land on local farms. Work done, distance traveled and body temperature of each ox were measured continuously over a 5 h working day. A different team worked each day, completing at least six days work each. Individual food intakes and digestibility of feed were measured when the animals were given rice straw and tree fodder, and housed and fed according to local husbandry practices. The Jersey crossbreds, particularly the longer legged type, had a higher rate of work than the local oxen in this study. They did significantly more work and covered a greater distance during the day. The absence of a hump in the crossbred oxen had no effect on the position of the yoke or the way the oxen pulled when ploughing. The longer legged type of Jersey crossbred tended to work more erratically than any of the other teams. A fast rate of work made the oxen more liable to heat stress. When fed according to local practices and given the same amount of feed as local oxen, Jersey crossbreds tended to do less well. During the ploughing months, the local oxen gained weight, while the crossbreds remained at the same or lost some weight. Although there were some disadvantages to keeping Jersey crossbreds for work, their favourable work output suggests that the introduction of the Jersey crossbred in the hills of Nepal is unlikely to be detrimental to the performance of the work oxen population.

This study empirically verified the effect of enterprise SNS usage on communication and work performance and the effect of communication on work performance for corporate employees. To accomplish the purpose of this study, we proposed a research model, set up research hypotheses, and verified the hypotheses based on previous studies. For this study, we surveyed the employees of manufacturing companies located at Ulsan city. The results of this study are summarized as follows. First, the use of enterprise SNS has a significant effect on communication. Second, communication has a significant effect on work performance. Third, the use of enterprise SNS has a significant effect on work performance. Through the results of this study, it can be confirmed that the introduction and utilization of enterprise SNS suitable for enterprises leads to the satisfaction of employees' communication and improvement of the work performance.
