국내 대학생의 문화적 가치관이 시간제 근로 기간에 주는 영향: Hofstede 문화차원을 활용한 예비연구

This research aimed to investigate the impacts of university students' cultural values on the part-time work period, examining a conceptualized cultural values framework based on the Hofstede Dimensions. As a pilot study, it gathered the online survey replies between the 2nd term of 2020 and the 1st term of 2021, relying on 133 undergraduate students working part-time ever from three universities within Seoul, Gyeonggi, and Chungnam in South Korea. The study then carried out non-parametric u-tests as well as multinomial logit analyses by utilizing a two-set of independent variables incorporating the Hofstede model of six dimensions and two individual elements, including Gender/School Year, and three nominal dependent variables that present the part-time work period categorized as Short/Mid/Long. Results show that (i) While Indulgence in the male group appeared to be relatively lower and the part-time work period might be shorter, Collectivism for the upper-grade group turned out to be stronger, and the part-time work period could be longer; (ii) Amongst the Hofstede's Dimensions elements, Masculinity, Uncertainty Avoidance, and Long-term Orientation were significant, together with School Year, in affecting the part-time work period; and (iii) The conceptual model's explanatory power at large for predicting one of the given three periods was at 56.4%, confirming the usefulness for a subsequent main study. This pilot work thus has value for future research as testing the causal relationship between cultural values and the part-time work period against Korean university students.
