To investigate the exposure levels of organic solvents and subjective symptoms of dry-cleaning workers, 77 male and 52 female dry-cleaning workers who had been worked in a small city of Chungnam province, and a large city, Taejon were selected for the study group. Air concentrations of organic solvents in the working environment were analyzed, and subjective symptoms of dry-cleaning workers were surveyed, from July to August 1996. The results obtained were as follows : 1. The concentrations of organic solvents in the working environment were within permissible TLV-TWA limits. 2. For the 13 symptom clusters, the most frequently complained symptom clusters were fatigue as 71.3%, and followed by depression and urinary disturbances as 53.5% and 51.9%. Other symptom clusters complained were below 50%. 3. Positive response rates of subjective symptoms were significantly higher in worker groups such as lived in a large city, female, higher education level, more frequently alcohol drinking, higher concentration of organic solvent in working environment, work in alone. 4. Workers who had used solvent B showed 2.3 point higher scores of subjective symptoms than those of solvent A. Of the subjective symptoms scores, amnesia and nervousness were higher in solvent B user group than solvent B user group. 5. As a result of factor analysis, 3 factors such as depression, urinary disturbance and neurologic disturbance were selected. 6. As a result of the logistic regression analysis, sex, the number of fellow workers, working time, region, job tenure, smoking, alcohol drinking, ventilating system, concentration of organic solvent in working environment and place of residence were selected for the related variables. For the conclusion, even though the concentrations of organic solvents in the working environments of dry-cleaning workers were within permissible limit of TLV-TWA, many dry-cleaning workers complained symptoms, such as fatigue, depression, urinary disturbances and so on. And the factors affecting to the symptoms of dry-cleaning workers were the number of fellow workers, work hours, region, job tenure, smoking and alcohol drinking.
This study was to examine the actual conditions and contributing factors of absenteeism in manufacturing workers. Subjects were 1,184 workers employed in Taejon city and the observation period for absenteeism was 3 months (June to August), 1992. We obtained the following results. 1. Percentage of the absentees among the studied subjects were 21.1% in gross absence and 6.9% in sickness absence. Gross absence rate of subjects was 1.2% and sickness absence rate was 0.5%. 2. In the group of absentees, mean days of absence was 2.8 days and those of sickness was 4.4 days. Mean days of sickness absence due to injury was higher than that of illness, but the total days of sickness absence was high in extremity injuries, trunk injury, general fatigue, head injury, musculoskeletal problem in that order. 3. Variables contributing to the absence were job classification, education level, working hours per day, exposure of noxious factor, worker classification. 4. In the group of absentees, variables influencing the gross absence rate were working atmosphere, body mass infer, working environment, working hours per day but those of the sickness absence were working hours per day, education level and working atomosphere.
관세청이 발표한 ‘2021년 무역통계’에 따르면 코로나19 이후 국내 수출기업은 2,400여개 줄었고, 수입업체는 1만여 기업체가 증가한 것으로 나타났다. 수출기업은 국내 일자리 창출과 함께 우리나라 경제발전에 지대한 공헌을 하고 있다. 물류환경이 급격하게 변하는 시점에서 국내 수출기업의 친환경 물류전략이 물류성과에 미치는 영향을 분석하는 논문은 미비한 실정이다. 수출기업이 지속적으로 글로벌 경쟁력을 갖추고 물류성과를 개선하기 위해서는 친환경 물류전략이 수출기업의 물류성과에 미치는 영향을 분석하는 필요하다. 본 연구는 국내 수출기업의 친환경 물류전략이 물류성과에 미치는 영향을 분석하는 것을 목적으로 한다. 친환경 물류전략은 내부전략과 공급사슬관리전략으로 구분된다. 분석결과 내부전략은 수출기업 물류성과에 긍정적인 영향을 미치고, 공급사슬관리전략은 수출기업 물류성과에 긍정적인 영향을 미치는 것으로 분석되었다. 이처럼 수출기업의 친환경 물류전략은 기업의 중요한 자원으로써 기업의 물류성과를 개선하는 근거가 되는 것으로 분석되었다.
