특수고용직 가족건강성에 영향을 미치는 노동요인에 관한 탐색적 실증연구

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to examine empirically the effect of labor factors on the family strength in the self-employment. The labor factor includes income appropriateness, transportation fee appropriateness, incentive justice, possibility of supply security, work hours, labor at night, job risk, physical load, time pressure, job pressure, horizontal conflict, vertical conflict, independence, time flexibility, and task autonomy. The family strength is consisted of ten dimensions: respect, commitment, appreciation and affection, positive communication, sharing values and goals, role performing, physical health, connectedness with social system, economic stability, and ability to solve the family problem. The data for this study is obtained from the survey on a sample of 159 laborers working as truck driver in transportation industry. This study tests hypotheses by using a multiple regression analysis. Three important empirical findings emerge from this study. First, two independent variables, income appropriateness(H1-1) and physical load(H1-8), affect significantly the family strength, so H1-1 and H1-8 are supported. Second, transportation fee appropriateness, incentive justice, labor at night, job risk, time pressure, job pressure, horizontal conflict, vertical conflict, independence, time flexibility, and task autonomy do not affect significantly the family strength, so H1-2, H1-5, H1-6, H1-7, H1-9, H1-10, H1-11, H1-12, H1-13, H1-14, and H1-15 are rejected. Finally, possibility of supply security(H1-3) and work hours(H1-4) affect significantly the family strength, but H1-3 and H1-4 are rejected because of the inconsistence of anticipated direction. Based on the empirical results, this study suggests the implications of findings and some directions for future research.

Key words: family strength, labor factor, self-employment, transportation industry
