The purpose of this study is to clarify the real causes of gender wage differentials in Korea by analyzing changes over the period from 1984 to 1999. The participation rate of women in the Korean labor force has gradually increased since 1963, reaching 47.4 percent as of 1999. This increase can be attributed to more active participation by women of all ages, except those aged 15-19, as a result of their enrollment in higher level education. In particular, a remarkable rise in labor market participation was achieved by those aged 25-29. On the other hand, the ratio of female workers earnings to that of male workers has increased from 45.1 percent in 1972 to 63.1 percent in 1999. However, when the gender wage differentials are decomposed into various factors, it is found that discrimination components against female workers, compared to the skills or productivity characteristics, played a greater role for the 1994 to 1999 period.

본 연구는 여성관리자패널조사(Korean Women Manager Panel)를 이용하여 한국 여성 근로자의 직장 내 스트레스 및 승진에 상사의 성별이 미치는 영향을 분석한다. 분석결과 직속 상사가 여성일 때 여성 근로자의 직장 내 스트레스는 높았고, 사원 및 대리 직급 여성의 승진에 부의 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 여왕벌 현상과 역할일치이론에 따르면 한국과 같이 유리천장이 견고하고 상위 직급의 남성 밀집도가 높은 구조에서는 여성 리더십의 긍정적인 특성이 발휘되기보다 다른 여성에 대해 높은 인정 기준을 요구하거나 경쟁적인 모습을 보여 여성 상사를 둔 여성 근로자의 직장 내 스트레스는 높고 낮은 직급의 여성 승진확률은 낮추는 것으로 해석할 수 있다.

The main purpose of the current research was to induce the importance of manners through the relationship between the level of transformational leadership in the family and the degree of job satisfaction in workers. It also examined positive variants that can enhance the degree of job satisfaction. The data from 250 questionnaires were used for the final analysis. The main results of the present study are as follows: First, the level of transformational leadership in the family tended to be relatively low, although it was good at the intellectual stimulus leadership among the sub-dimension of the "Family Multifactor Leadership Questionnaire." Moreover, communication, status, and education level turned out to be most influential background variables. Secondly, the score for job satisfaction that is recognized by the workers appeared to be less than average. It seemed that relative comparison in the level of life, communication and education level were the most influential variables. Indeed, the result of stepwise regression analysis showed that transformational leadership made a comparatively high contribution to job satisfaction. Therefore, it is important to keep in mind that a worker's leadership development is a main source of maintaining job satisfaction.

Due to increased number of women workers in Indonesia in the last decade, numbers of women living as a worker and a housewife have increased. This also increases the potential risk of breastfeeding discontinuation. Three months of maternal leave policy and inadequate lactation promotion support in workplace have been identified as factors that hinder lactating practices. The World Health Organization recommendation of 6 months of exclusive breastfeeding and joined regulation of three Indonesia ministers (Ministry of Health, Ministry of Labour, and Ministry of Women Empower) have failed to improve the exclusive breastfeeding rate among female workers in Indonesia due to the lack of a standardized guideline on lactation promotion at workplace. In addition, very limited or no studies have been conducted to evaluate the impact of workplace-based lactation intervention programs on exclusive breastfeeding rate among female workers. This is because the relationship of lactation with working performance and productivity could not motivate employer to invest in workplace-based lactation promotion facility or program.

Purpose: This study was conducted to estimate the job stress and depression of female and male service workers and to determine the predictors influencing depression. Method: In this cross-sectional study, the data were collected from hotel, wholesale, and insurance companies. A total of 244 workers were recruited. Among them, 118 were female workers. A self-administered questionnaire was consisted of personal characteristics, job stress, daily life stress, social support, and depression. Depression was measured using a CES-D Korean version. Result: The average job stress of female workers was higher than that of male workers (P<.05). The average depression scores of female workers were higher than those of male workers, but the difference was not statistically significant. Multiple regression analysis showed that role conflict and low social support were significant predictors of depression in female workers. In male workers, role conflict, low social support, and under-utilization of abilities were significant predictors of depression. Conclusion: The results of this study suggest that depression of service workers may be prevented by creating a workplace environment that focuses on role conflict and social support. Also, health providers should consider the vulnerability of working women to job stress.

This study analyzed the dietary status of Southeast Asian workers living in South Korea in order to provide basic data to develop a program that allows workers to map desirable eating habits while living in Korea. Questionnaires were completed by 251 Southeast East Asian workers living in South Korea. From our study, we found that respondents ate three meals a day, and Vietnamese had less regular meal times than others. Thai, Cambodian, and Myanmar workers ate snacks several times a day, as they did in their own countries. For adapting Korean food, Vietnamese and Cambodian workers had difficulties due to spicy and salty flavors while Thai and Myanmar works had difficulties due to unfamiliar ingredients and cooking method. Thai workers were the fastest to adapt to Korean food, and the Thai ratio of eating homeland food daily was highest. Male respondents ate more often than women. Workers had access to cooking facilities in their house and usually ate more homeland food than workers that did not have access to cooking facilities. By providing understanding of dietary patterns of Southeast Asian workers, these results can be used as basic data to develop a program for Korean food adaptation.

본 연구는 제5차 근로환경조사 자료(2017)를 사용하여, 여성 근로자의 건강 상태와 그 잠재적 영향 요인들간의 관계를 분석하였다. 본 연구의 목적은 여성 사무직 근로자들의 건강 상태에, 직장 관련 요인과 가정 관련 요인이 어떠한 영향을 미치는지 규명하는 것이다. 이를 위해 사무직에 근로하는 여성 근로자 3,115명의 데이터를 활용하여 로지스틱 회귀분석을 시행하였다. 로지스틱 회귀분석 결과, 여성 근로자의 건강상태에는 근로자의 연령, 근로자의 고용상태, 근무환경에 대한 전반적인 만족도, 직장 동료의 성별 비율, 경제적 부담 정도, 육아에 부담 정도, 가사에 대한 부담 정도가 유의미한 영향력을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 이러한 분석결과에 근거하여, 본 연구에서는 관련된 몇 가지의 정책적 그리고 학문적 함의를 제시하였다. 현재 여성의 경제활동 참여가 눈에 띄게 활발해지면서, 여성 근로자의 수는 시간이 갈수록 점점 더 증가하고 있는 상황이다. 조직내 여성 근로자들에 대한 건강 상태가 개선된다면, 조직의 생산성 또한 향상되어질 수 있을 것이다. 따라서, 여성 근로자들에 대한 적절한 건강 관리는 조직 자원에서 필수적으로 이루어져야 할 필요가 있다. 더불어, 여성 근로자들의 건강 증진을 위한 실질적인 정책적 방안 또한 모색되어야 할 필요성이 있다.

Background: The production of glass beads in Ghana is greatly impacted by the ingenuity of Ghanaian women. Preliminary investigations revealed the lack of interest on the part of women due to poor working conditions as a result of the influence of culture-specific silence. Therefore, the study investigated the poor working conditions faced by these industrious women with the ultimate goal of suggesting ways they can be empowered. Methods: A phenomenological study was conducted in two indigenous glass bead communities in Ghana. Data were solicited via direct observations, personal interviews and focus group discussions. Twenty-six purposively sampled respondents were recruited for the study. Data from the study were analyzed using Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis. Results: The results confirmed that the elderly women glass bead makers are much influenced by the Ghanaian culture of silence. This prevents the women from speaking about the challenges they are facing in their work. Also, the women are silenced because of the fear of losing their jobs as well as the reluctance of their male managers to remedy the challenges they encounter in the course of work. This has resulted in poor remuneration, lack of insurance packages for workers, certification, and absence of personal protective tools for the women. Conclusion: The study tasks the government of Ghana, the Legal Advocacy for Women in Africa (LAWA), the Fair Wages and Salaries Commission in Ghana, the Ghana Trade Union as well as the Local Government Workers' Union to empower the women to sustain the glass bead industry in Ghana.
