Objectives : This study investigates the determinants of contingent workers’ ratio in public health centers. Since the economic crisis in 1997,there have been many studies on contingent workers in Korea. But,previous studies have been not conducted focusing on public health center. Methods : This study used 253 public health centers, installed and operated since December 31, 2008. in Korea as units of analysis. To examine the determinants of contingent workers’ ratio, this study uses Pearson correlation and multiple regression analysis. Results : The following appeared as significant variable affecting contingent workers’ ratio in public health centers; degree of the local government’s financial independence(p<0.001), rate of increase/decrease in ages 65 and over(p<0.001), rate of increase/decrease in basic livelihood security recipients(p<0.01) and rate of increase/decrease in registered disabled persons(p<0.01). In contrast, internal organizational environment characteristics related variables were not statistically significant. Conclusions : Contingent workers’ ratio in public health center is significantly affected by financial vulnerability of the local government and increase in demand of health care services.
