비정규직 노동자 고용의 기업내부 결정요인에 관한 연구

The employment pattern has been greatly changed since the currency crisis. The ratio of nonstandard employment among the wageworkers has been 52% as of the late year of 2002. The rapid increase of nonstandard employment has been approached in broad perspective or has been still at the level of proposing the government policy. Therefore, there has not been rich study that examines closely decision of the nonstandard employment and the internal elements of business groups affecting this decision. This study has researched the determinants of nonstandard employment from the viewpoint of the internal business groups and has by experience examined the propriety of its determinants in Korea. The increase of nonstandard employment would be explained from the variously theoretical viewpoints. This study has largely analyzed the increase of nonstandard employment from the five theoretical viewpoints such as strategic fitness, resource-based theory, institutional theory, environmental fitness, and transaction-cost theory. A hypothesis has been formulated on the bassis of the above-mentioned theory and another hypothesis is a moderation effect of the union which would be moderated between theoretical variables and ratio of nonstandard employment. The research materials were collected from the 148 business groups to verify the hypothesis. The results of analysis showed that the greater the coercive and mimetic isomorphism from the viewpoint of theory and the lower the technical skill from the viewpoint of transaction cost theory, the greater the increase of nonstandard employment. Thereupon, the union moderated the nonstandard employment ratio from technical skill. This result showed that if there has been the union, the nonstandard employment ratio has still overwhelmed the technical skill. Lastly, implications and limitations of the result were suggested.
