지역 기업체의 여성인력 채용수요 특성에 관한탐색적 연구

Abstract

This study began with the question,“Female workers with what characteristics of human resources are preferred and recruited by enterprises?”. An empirical analysis was carried out on characteristics of recruitment of female workers by enterprises, targeted at enterprises in northwestern region of Chungcheongnam-do, with the variables such as 1) preferred characteristics of female workers, 2) consideration of conditions of recruitment, 3) female employment support system, using quantitative and qualitative methodologies. The summarized result of the analysis showed that significant differences existed among types of businesses in age, level of education, types of occupation for which recruitment was conducted, forms of employment, and proposed wages, from among all the characteristics of female workers that are preferred by enterprises. However, necessity of vocational training and channel of recruitment did not show any differences among types of businesses. Variables in conditions of recruitment that showed differences among types of businesses were age and level of education; service providers displayed a tendency to hire young and highly educated female workers. On the other hand, place of residence, employment history (work experience), business skills and technique as well as certificates did not demonstrate significant differences; however, enterprises gave great consideration to 'place of residence' and ‘employment history’. Female employment support system had a low ratio of utilization, which proved that it was not properly established in the field of employment by enterprises. The implications and tasks that are suggested by the result of the study in regard to the vitalization of recruitment of female workers by enterprises are subdivision of employment support system by types of businesses, reorganization of vocational training course focused on training for adaptation to work environment and internship, expansion of roles and functions of public institutes for employment support, provision of child-care system which supports the idea of laying emphasis on occupation and working hours, and promotion of active labor-market policy by enterprises for the sake of growth of demand for female-friendly recruitment.
