| Abstract |
This study aimed to present the direction of policy innovation for construction workers in South Korea, which was grounded in two analyses,
an analysis of internal and external environmental changes and their impacts on the domestic construction industry, and an evaluation of the
previously announced policies related to construction workers. First of all, the authors focused on the environmental changes including
abolishing business area regulations and expanding direct construction mandatory, growing smart construction technologies and construction
automation, and rapid aging and low entry of young people seeking work-life balance. Next, a survey of 99 construction workers was
conducted to examine the workers’ perceptions of the importance of policy and their satisfaction with policy implementation. In all items,
satisfaction scores were lower than importance scores. In particular, the two political fields, ‘Training and Career Development’ and
‘Employment Encouragement and Job Matching’, showed high score differences, deducing that the policy effects in two fields were relatively
low. Overall, satisfaction was high when the importance score was high, and the policy recognized as important was found to be effective.
Finally, we proposed two innovative directions for job policy: ‘Training and Career Development’ and ‘Systematization of Employment
Support’. Although it was difficult to generalize the evaluation results due to the relatively small sample size, respondents were aware of the
policy directions proposed in this study. If the proposed directions are realized for a sufficient period of time, the job as a construction
worker is expected to be treated as a lifelong job, not a daily job. |
