A cross-sectional study was conducted to investigate the prevalence and risk factors for symptoms associated with sick building syndrome in four office buildings located in Seoul. Information on personal factors, job-related factors, and medical history were collected using self-administered questionnaires modified from the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health Indoor Air Quality questionnaire in 321 office workers in these buildings. The prevalence of general and irritant symptom groups was higher than the prevalence of dermatologic and respiratory symptom groups. Daily total work time, work time in the office, and work time with video display terminals (VDT) were identified as the risk factors for symptom groups associated with sick building syndrome by multiple linear logistic regression analysis. In conclusion, these results indicated that the symptom prevalence in this study is similar with the results reported from previous studies conducted in other countries and work time and work with VDT are related to sick building syndrome in Korea.

Purpose; The purpose of this study was to identify the factors affecting turnover intention of dental hygienists and to find ways to prevent turnover in advance. Methods: The subjects of this study were dental hygienists working in dental hospitals in Busan and Gyeongnam. from 1 July 2019 to 30 August 2019 a number of total 203. The structured questionnaire was surveyed and analyzed by self- entry. The collected data were analyzed using an IBM SPSS ver. 20.0. Results: Night work 'none' and 'at least twice a week' was higher a job grievance(p<0.001), The work environment(p<0.001), job congnition(p<0.001), duty satisfaction(p<0.05) and external environment(p<0.001) of 'none' and 'once a week' was higher. The number of patient of 'less then 40' and 'over 80 groups' was high a job grievances(p<0.001). '60-79 groups' was higher a work environment(p<0.05), '40-59 groups' and 60-79 groups' was higher a job congnition(p<0.001), duty satisfaction(p<0.001), and external environment(p<0.001), coworker relationship(p<0.05), were high in 'over 80 groups'. The factors affecting turnover intention was investigated a job congnition (β = -0.384), coworker relationship (β = -0.174), and job grievances (β = -0.172). the turnover intention was higher in ' lower the job congnition', 'lower job grievances', ' bad coworker relationship' Conclusions: In order to raise the job congnition of dental hygienists, it is necessary to have a legislative provision for the practical work of dental hygienists, a stable job security and pride in the job, a sense of achievement in the work. also that is necessary to have program development for communication of coworker.

This study investigated the latent groups depending on married working women's work-family spillover. The effects of factors that determine mental health subgroups and differences were also analyzed. Mixture modeling was applied to the Korean Longitudinal Survey of Women & Families to achieve the research objectives. The major findings of this study were as follows. First, there were four subgroups that could be defined according to the work-family spillover: mid-level spillover group (mid-positive and mid-negative spillover group), high-level spillover group (high-positive and high-negative spillover group), low-level spillover group (low-positive and low-negative spillover group), and high-negative and low-positive spillover group. Second, the results of mixture regression analysis to test the effect of eco-system variables showed that age, academic background, non-traditional family value, number of children, work hours, wage income, and availability of the maternity leave were significant determinants of the latent groups. The probability of classifying in the high-negative and low-positive spillover group increased when women showed a lower academic background and wage income, higher number of children and older age, and longer work hours than others. Third, the high-level spillover group, and the high-level spillover group showed the lowest stress and the lowest depression; however, the low-level spillover group reported the highest stress and the highest depression. Implications, limitations, and future directions were discussed based on the results.

Purpose: The aim of this study was to examine effectiveness of 12-hour shifts for nurses compared to 8-hour shifts for the variables: Work-Life Balance, fatigue and work errors. Methods: In 2014, an opportunity to choose a 12-hour shift duty was given to a group of 8-hour shift nurses. In 2016, two years after this change, this study was done to compare the two groups. Data were collected using questionnaires. Data were sampled by a matching method with propensity score matching (PSM). The participants were 128 nurses: 64 nurses on 12-hour shifts and 64 nurses on 8-hour shifts. The comparison was analyzed using $x^2$ test, t-test. Results: The nurses on 12-hour shifts showed higher scores for Work-Life Balance (3.37) than the groups on 8-hour shifts (2.99)(p=.018) whereas were no statistical differences between the groups for fatigue (p=.132) or work errors (p=.703). Conclusion: The Work-Life Balance scores for nurses who chose the 12-hour shift shows an enhancement without an increase in fatigue or work errors.

Purpose - The intent of this research is to discover the factors that enhance innovative work behaviors of group members in order to strengthen the competitiveness of small enterprises. In addition, we verify that employee job characteristic factors have an influence between antecedent variables and dependent variables in the work situations at small companies. Research design, data, and methodology - This study is focused on identifying the factors, such as self-efficacy, leader member exchange (LMX), and collective efficacy, which promote innovative work behaviors. A total of 305 valid questionnaires were collected. Results - The results of a path analysis showed that LMX did not have significant effects on task significance, and autonomy did not have significant effects on innovative work behavior. Conclusions - These findings of the study imply that even though leaders supported the groups in accordance with official procedures by placing group members within or outside certain groups, task identity perceived by group members was not impacted. In addition, autonomy given to those with relatively less capability might be a burden rather than a positive outcome.

본 연구는 한국사회의 산업화과정에서 배제되어 왔던 전북지역에서 직업집단들간에 생활기회가 얼마나 차등적으로 나타나고 있는지 분석하였다. 좀더 구체적으로 본 연구는 6개 직업범주에 속하는 사람들간에 생활기회의 하위영역인 건강상태와 여가생활 각각이 얼마나 차등적으로 나타나고 있는지 분석하엿다. 분석결과에 의하면, 직업별로 생활기회가 차등적으로 나타나고 있음을 확인할 수 있었다. 즉 직업적 위세가 높은 직업에 종사하는 사람들은 좀더 좋은 생활기회를 가지고 있으며, 역으로 직업적 위세가 낮은 직업에 종사하는 사람들은 열악한 생활기회를 가지고 있다. 먼저 전문-관리직 종사자들은 모든 영역에서 가장 우수한 생활기회를 누리고 있었다. 그 다음으로 전문-기술직, 사무직, 그리고 판매-서비스직 종사자들이 높은 생활기회를 누리고 있다. 그러나 이들 3개 직업집단들 모두가 모든 영역에서 일치된 생활기회를 가진 것은 아니다. 특히 전문-기술직 종사들은 일의 자율성과 안정성에도 불구하고 작업환경의 열악성과 그것이 건강에 미친 영향을 부정적으로 인식하고 있다. 반면에 판매-서비스직 종사자들은 낮은 사회적 인식에도 불구하고 일의 자율성과 높은 수입 등으로 비교적 높은 생활기회를 누리고 있다. 그러나 농업과 생산직 종사자들은 비교적 열악한 생활기회를 가지고 있다. 특히 농업 종사자들은 여가생활부문을 제외한 다른 부문에서 생산직 종사자들보다 상대적으로 좋은 기회를 가지고 있었다. The main purpose of this study is to describe the different life chances among various occupational groups in Chonbuk Province which has been excluded in the process of Korea's industrialization since the 1960s. More specifically, this study analyzed to what extent 6 occupational groups have the different life chances in the sub-levels such as health conditions and leisure life. According to our data analysis, it is found that the 6 occupational groups have the different life chances. That is, while those who are engaged in the higher prestigious occupation have a good life chance, those who in the lower prestigious occupation have a worse life chance. For example, among 6 occupational groups, professional-managerial who secure the higher autonomy and stability in their work have the highest life chance in the labor and health, and leisure life. Next, professional-technical, white-collar, sales-service occupants have the higher life chance after the professional-managerial. However, these 3 occupation groups are partially inconsistent in the two sectors of the life chance. Specifically, the professional-technical, despite their autonomy and stability in the work world, conceived that their work conditions are worse as well as badly influencing on their own health. On the other band, the sales-service workers group, despite their lower social status, is relatively autonomous and stable in their work environment and thus has the higher life chances. Finally, agricultural and productive workers have relatively the lower lift chances. Nevertheless, there are some clear differences among these 2 occupational groups. That is, the farmers have relatively the higher life chances in the sectors of socio-economic characteristics, and labor and health rather than productive workers. As a result, the productive workers are generally located in the lowest level of life chance. This fact is particularly attributed to the fragility of manufacturing industries in Chonbuk Province.

Purpose: This study firstly examined the pattern and prevalence of drinking. Secondly, we investigated the association between various psychosocial work environment and problem drinking among Korean male workers in different age groups. Methods: The study sample was a weighted population of 3,289 (3,289 survey samples) men aged 20 to 64 years who responded to the 2006 Korean Working Condition Survey. Social support from colleague and supervisor, work autonomy, psychological wellbeing at work, and intellectual and emotional work demand were assessed. Results: After considering sociodemographic factors, smoking, occupational characteristics and other psychosocial work environment factors, problem drinking was associated with "intellectual work demand" for the 20~34 year old group. Social support from colleague and supervisor was significantly associated with problem drinking in the 35~49 year old group. For the 50~64 year old group, problem drinking was associated with 'work autonomy'. Conclusion: The present study clarified that certain psychosocial work environmental factors relate to problem drinking, and the association varies among different age groups.

코로나19로 인한 '사회적 거리 두기' 확산에 따라 비대면 근무가 불가피하게 시행되고 있는데, 실효성에 대한 논란이 있어 구성원의 인식을 살펴볼 필요가 있다. 본 연구는 비대면 근무에 관한 기존 문헌 검토 후 쟁점들을 도출하고, 비대면 근무를 경험한 근로자와 관리자를 대상으로 심층 면담을 실시하여 정성적으로 내용을 분석하고, 상호지향성 모델을 적용하여 비교하였다. 두 집단 공통으로 '소통의 어려움'을 가장 많이 지적하였고, 직무만족, 소속감, 일과 삶의 균형 등에 대한 근로자와 관리자의 인식 차이는 발견하지 못했으나, 인사고과 시 불이익에 대해 인식(객관적 일치도, 근로자의 정확도)의 차이를 보였고, 업무 생산성에 대한 인식(근로자의 주관적 일치도)에서도 차이를 보였다. 기존 연구는 비대면 근무의 일반적인 쟁점들을 논의하였지만, 본 연구는 근로자와 관리자의 인식 차이에 초점을 맞추어 조사하고 인식 차이를 완화시킬 방안의 필요성을 제기한 점에 의의가 있으며, 향후 더 많은 근로자와 관리자를 대상으로 하는 정량적 연구로 확장할 필요가 있다.
