This study aims to classify types of work-life balance among employees using Latent Profile Analysis (LPA) and investigate variations in depressive symptoms and satisfaction with working conditions across these types. Data were derived from the 6th Korean Working Conditions Survey (KWCS), conducted between 2020 and 2021, which included a sample of 49,479 employed individuals. The LPA revealed three distinct profiles of work-life balance: Low Balance (18.5%), Moderate Balance (72.9%), and High Balance (8.6%). Significant differences in depressive symptoms and satisfaction with working conditions were observed among these profiles. Specifically, the Low Balance group exhibited the highest levels of depressive symptoms and the lowest satisfaction with working conditions, while the High Balance group displayed the lowest depressive symptoms and the highest satisfaction. These findings underscore the critical role of work-life balance in influencing both depressive symptoms and job satisfaction among workers.

본 연구는 장시간 노동과 조직유효성 간 관계 그리고 최근 화두가 되고 있는 일-생활 균형의 역할을 분석하고자 한다. 장시간 노동으로 인한 직무소진 간 관계에서 일과 생활 균형이 어떤 상호작용을 하는지 그리고 장시간 노동과 결과요인(이직의도, 혁신행동) 사이에서 직무소진의 매개역할을 실증적으로 확인 하고자 하였다. 이를 위해 장시간 노동으로 잘 알려진 대구권역의 제조업과 금융업 종업원을 대상으로 설문조사를 진행하였다. 회수된 340부 중 48시간 이상 근로한 208부의 설문자료를 바탕으로 SPSS 23.0을 활용하여 실증분석 하였다. 분석결과, 첫째, 장시간 노동은 직무소진과 유의한 정(+)의 관계가 있는 것으로 나타났다. 둘째, 일-생활 균형은 장시간 노동과 직무소진의 관계를 정(+)의 방향으로 조절하였다. 즉, 장시간 노동을 하는 종업원들이 일-생활 균형을 높게 인식할수록 이에 따른 직무소진이 더 높아지는 것 을 확인하였다. 셋째, 직무소진은 장시간 노동과 이직의도 간 관계를 정(+)의 방향으로 완전매개 하였고, 혁신행동 간 관계를 부(-)의 방향으로 완전매개 하였다. 결론에서는 연구결과의 요약과 연구의 의의, 시사 점 및 한계점을 제시하였다.

이 연구에서는 내러티브 탐구방법을 활용하여 ‘저녁돌봄’으로 확보된 여유시간이 직장맘들의 삶의 질에 주는 의미를 탐색하였다. 이를 위해 ‘저녁돌봄’ 서비스를 이용하고 있는 직장맘 5인을 만나서 이들의 이야기를 들어보았다. 그 결과 첫째, ‘저녁돌봄’을 이용하는데 있어서 어머니들은 저녁돌봄 서비스가 존재하는 것만으로도 안심이 된다는 심리적 안정감을, 자녀들은 충분한 놀이를 통해 스트레스가 완화됨을 경험할 수 있었다. 둘째, ‘저녁돌봄’은 어머니들에게 여유시간의 확보와 역량개발의 기회를 제공하였다. 셋째, 연구 참여자들은 교육을 통해 양육 관련 정보를 제공받기를 원했고, 지속적이고 장기적인 부모교육 프로그램을 원하고 있었다. 이 연구는 자녀와 함께 부모도 성장하고 있다는 점에서 특징적이었다. 결국, 자녀를 양육하기 위한 ‘육아공동체’는 ‘부모배움공동체’로 확대 변화될 필요가 있으며, 향후 관련 주제들을 활용하여 지역의 특성과 맥락을 고려한 다양한 ‘저녁돌봄’ 서비스에 대한 연구와 논의가 확대되기를 기대한다.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between working environment and quality of life of fashion vendor company workers by using working environment variables such as job stress, job burnout, job satisfaction, and turnover intention. Preliminary test was conducted by interviewing fashion vendor company workers in order to find out factors that were more suitable for their working environment. Main survey was conducted to 200 fashion vendor company workers and 194 responses were analyzed. The results of correlation analysis showed that job stress, job burnout, job satisfaction, turnover intention, and factors of quality of life had significant relationships. Boss stress, role stress, achivement decrease, and personal condition satisfaction showed a significant relationship with turnover intention.

In this study we included 298 working women in Kangwon province to investigate the life style and eating habits related to constipation. The subjects were divided into 3 groups according to Roman II criteria as follows : normal, mild constipation and constipation groups. For the result, 48.4%, 42.7%, 27.2% and 28.6% of the subjects had constipation in the order of 20's, 30's, 40's, and 50's, respectively. Constipation group had low frequency of bowel movement per week and irregular visit to toilet compared to normal and mild constipation groups. There were higher percentage of people with reading habit while sitting on a toilet, in the constipation group compare to other groups. Constipation groups had difficulty having bowel movement when sleeping outside of their home. There was a significant difference in water consumption per day among the 3 groups. But there was no significant difference in the amount of meals consumed and the number of meals with snacks per day. For the food frequency, there was lower frequency of yogurt and vegetables consumption in the constipation group. But there was no difference in how to eat fruits. From these results, we concluded that in order to treat the constipation, it is recommended to take enough water and dietary fiber, and to have physical activities for the working women.

PURPOSES : This study deals with the working life of polymer concrete, which is typically used as a repair or overlay material for portland cement concrete pavements. METHODS : In the scope of this study, laboratory testing was conducted on fresh MMA modified UP polymer concrete, which uses an MMA monomer for viscosity adjustment and strength improvement of UP resin. The experimental variables were temperature (-20 to +20℃) and binder components (MMA, MEKPO, and DMA). RESULTS : The result showed that the optimum binder ratios for polymer concrete production were 12, 11, and 10 wt.% when the MMA contents were 20, 30, and 40 wt.%, respectively. The working life of polymer concrete depending on temperature and binder components could be expressed by a logarithmic functional formula. The coefficient of variation for each binder component was the highest for DMA content while the lowest for MEKPO content. Also, the contents of each binder component for ensuring the working life of 60 minutes were proposed. CONCLUSIONS : Ultimately, the present study derived a linear regression equation estimating 60 minutes working life based on the setting times of each binder component.

To analyze the factors that determine working life satisfaction, regression analysis was conducted. Satisfaction level of working hours(t=2.469), living environment(t=2.140), post offices/banks (t=3.024) showed a statistically significant. Also these variables, working hours, living environment, post office/banks are verified to be very important for improving the level of their working life. Through these findings we can understand that employee support activities, providing user-guide of bank and post office, compliance with standards for working hours, improvement of the living conditions (accommodation, meals, etc.), the leisure time program support, the children care support and active utilization of foreign workers and strengthen the educational program, are necessary to improve the satisfaction level of foreign laborers' working life in Korea. It is recommended that managers need to recognize that careful consideration of living and working condition could contribute to stable settlement and increase working life satisfaction for the foreign workers at company level.

The purpose of this study was to compare the awareness of dietary patterns and health of full-time and employed housewives. The investigation gathered information on general characteristics, dietary lifestyle, nutritional status, and health by questionnaire as well as anthropometric measurements. The subjects included housewives living in Seoul and Gyeonggi Province (86 full-time and 127 working housewives) during November 2009 to January 2010. The average age, height, and weight of the housewives were 45.8±7.6 yr, 161.0±8.4 cm, and 55.7±6.3 kg, respectively. The average monthly income of the households was 3 million to 5 million won (31.4% full-time and 37.0% working housewives), and their average food expense was 200,000 to 500,000 won (46.5% full-time and 48.1% working housewives). More than 90% of the studied homes were nuclear families and the most common number of children was 2 to 3 (79.1% full-time and 76.4% working housewives). The ratio of employed housewives who ate regular meals was 35.4%, but that of the full-time housewives was 48.2% (p〈0.05). Of the working housewives, 7.1% never ate breakfast and the primary reason for skipping breakfast was 'busy in the morning' (61.1%). The type of food that the housewives preferred when eating out was Korean food, both for the full-time and employed housewives (76.0%). All the housewives overate calories and the full-time housewives ate more protein, fat, vitamin A, vitamin B1, vitamin B6, niacin, vitamin C, vitamin E, folic acid, and cholesterol than the employed housewives (p〈0.05). Both the full-time and employed housewives were more satisfied with supper than with other meals. About 30.6% of the full-time and 33.9% of the working housewives had no interest in health, but answered that regular exercise was very important for health (33.3% full-time and 39.7% working housewives). In conclusion, working housewives have poor dietary habits and nutrient intakes, thus substantial measures to improve these problems are urgently needed.
