Reemployment Differences Among Dislocated and Other Workers

Abstract Dislocated workers are often assumed to have a more difficult time becoming reemployed than their non-dislocated counterparts, especially into jobs in growth sectors of the economy. Evidence presented here suggests that it is not dislocation per se that makes reemployment difficult, but that factors associated with dislocation such as education, experience, and industry-specific skills in declining industries play the most important roles. The findings are relevant to the matter of workers' retraining programs.     

Entry dynamics of self-employment in South Korea

The purpose of this paper is to clarify whether the entry into self-employment was an inevitable move due to economic recession (push hypothesis) or a voluntary move due to entrepreneurship (pull hypothesis) in Korea. It also examines how this decision is affected by changes in socio-economic conditions. The empirical analysis in this study exploited the matched sample for the adjacent months in the Economically Active Population Survey (EAPS) conducted by Korea National Statistical Office in 2000–2004. The empirical results showed that the push aspect of self-employment was strong in Korea over the whole sampled periods. The entry into self-employment in South Korea is largely attributable to economic sluggishness and an increase in unemployment rather than a voluntary transition resulting from entrepreneurship. Policy environment (such as providing information and financial support for new start-ups after the Asian financial crisis), which is a country-specific factor magnified the pushed effects. For the pushed (unprepared) self-employed people, not only is there a need to expand the coverage of vocational training programmes, but also it is vital that social safety nets are strengthened and supplemented.

血缘团队贵在惜缘

所谓血缘团队是指以推荐关系为基础而形成的营销组织,包含直接和间接培育出来的团队。血缘团队的首领为创始人。如果说,营销队伍要做大、做优、做强,团队的稳定发展是之根,那么血缘团队的稳定发展,更是营销队伍做大、做优、做强之本。现实生活中,血缘团队的发展又受到很多条件制约,特别是中西部地区的不少血缘团队长期停留在不温不火状态,发展令人堪忧。不少血缘团队打造一开始是如火如茶,扩张势头迅猛,但一段时间后便停滞不前。这里撷取沿海省份和华南地区打造血缘团队的成功经验,以飨读者。

Globalization and transformation of human resource management in South Korea

Developments in the area of globalization, labour markets and human resource management (HRM) are topical and have high profiles. Yet they are often underpinned by several older and implicit views. This paper examines five propositions in this respect. We discuss globalization, often taken as driving such developments, and the role of supportive and limiting factors to its influence. We use the case of South Korea, as the main direction of change here is seen as from 'traditional' employment security and seniority-based systems of employee resourcing and rewarding, towards 'newer' flexible and performance-based ones. This seems, on the surface, a case of practice transfer in a somewhat inhospitable climate. We examine and evaluate the restraints, direction and extent of such changes, and arguments that HRM systems are being transformed by such developments. We find that the situation is more constrained and ambiguous.     

韩国高度关注中国市场--韩国总商会举办中国物流市场专题研讨会侧记

中国与韩国的经济合作在近十几年里面取得了快速的发展。韩国与中国建立外交关系比较晚,一直到1992年两国才建立正常的外交关系,但建交12年来,中韩两国的双边贸易的年增长率高达27%,2005年中韩贸易额将超过一千亿美元。中国已经成为韩国最大的贸易国,韩国也已经成为中国第三位的投资国,双方经济合作的发展速度在世界上是罕见的。随着双边贸易和投资的发展,中韩两国产业链发展日趋紧密,韩国的制造业和中国东北、华北、华东地区的制造业互相渗透,紧密结合。韩国的著名企业在中国的制造业务和销售业务发展十分快速,三星在中国的销售额在2004年…     

Comparative Research on Double-entry in China, Italy and South Korea

This paper explores the different view about the origin of double-entry book-keeping that arises from bank account of Florence, Italy in 13^th century. The four-leg accounts in China were to some extent similar to that in Korea in 11^th century and the three-leg accounts to that in ancient Rome period. By analysis of accounting bamboo slips in Han dynasty in 2nd and 1st centuries B.C., this paper will demonstrate that the double-entry book-keeping method emerged from China and Italy.     

Non-regular professionals' dual commitment in South Korea: antecedents and consequences

There is a growing concern with whether nonregular professionals are concurrently committed to both the organization and their profession and whether such commitments are beneficial to that organization. This article seeks to investigate the relationship between organizational justice variables and the dual commitment of nonregular professionals via perceived organizational support (POS) and the subsequent effect of the dual commitment on organizational citizen behavior. Hypotheses are developed and then tested through structural equation modeling with data collected from a total of 1143 part-time instructors at South Korean universities. The findings of this study reveal that the perceptions held by nonregular professionals of organizational justice constructs concurrently influence organizational commitment and professional commitment via POS and that both commitments are positively associated with altruistic behavior. The findings advance our understanding of the dual commitment of nonregular professionals and provide universities with managerial implications as to how to manage effectively part-time instructors. Limitations, directions for future research, and conclusions are presented.

从美术高考加试看韩国设计

国土面积仅相当于我国一个省的韩国,现今在经济发展上取得了令人瞩目的成绩。这在很大程度上得益于韩国政府所倡导的"设计兴国"、"设计优先"的方针以及韩国对设计教育的重视。更得益于韩国教育界在学生大学期间为学生所设定的明确的培养目标,就是把"培养创造力、激发想象力"作为培养学生的重中之重。这在每年韩国美术高考加试中试题的类型中清晰可见。韩国的设计教育为韩国经济的发展起到了重要的推动作用,同时,经济的发展又促进和明晰了设计教育的发展方向。

Classroom peer effects and academic achievement: Quasi-randomization evidence from South Korea

Endogenous formation of peer groups often plagues studies on peer effects. Exploiting quasi-random assignment of peers to individual students that takes place in middle schools of South Korea, we examine the existence and detailed structure of academic interactions among classroom peers. We find that mean achievement of one's peers is positively correlated with a student's performance (standardized mathematics test score). Employing IV methods, we show that such a relationship is causal: the improvement in peer quality enhances a student's performance. Quantile regressions reveal that weak students interact more closely with other weak students than with strong students; hence their learning can be delayed by the presence of worst-performing peers. In contrast, strong students are found to interact more closely with other strong students; hence their learning can be improved by the presence of best-performing peers. We also examine the implications of these findings for two class formation methods: ability grouping and mixing.

面向日本、韩国的山东半岛区域物流系统空间结构优化

山东半岛与日韩的贸易往来在区域外经贸中占绝大部分比重,目前面向日韩的山东半岛物流系统的基础设施较好,但面对大规模的贸易额仍存在巨大的压力,且尚无针对日韩区域的专门物流规划。采用因子分析方法,对面向日韩的山东半岛主要城市物流业竞争力水平进行分析评价,确定青岛为一级节点城市,烟台、威海为二级节点城市,潍坊、淄博、东营、济南与日照为三级节点城市,并在此基础上确定面向日韩的外向型港口轴线、铁路公路连接东西轴线、中转辐射内陆轴线以及海运中转轴线四条物流发展轴线,最后划定鲁东、鲁中、鲁南三大物流发展区域。
