Convergence Effective Factors for Work Performance among Returning to Workers with Industrial Accident

Abstract

For workers, industrial accidents exert a bad effect on the productivity, quality of life, and depress the morale. This study aimed to examine the overall influence on job performance of employees who returned to work after industrial accidents. This was a cross-sectional study using the data of 2013 and 2014 Panel Study of Worker's Compensation Insurance (PSWCI), and we performed logistic-regression analysis to analyze an affinity between general characteristics and job performance as independent variable and outcome variable, respectively. As a result, the major factor depressed the job performance were the 1 -7 degree of disabilities and injuries with convalescence period for 6 to 9month or more than 12 months. In other words, this study shown that job performance was decreased as higher degree of disability and longer convalescence period. Job performance is the factor to identify indirectly worker's successful return to work, and it is important in follow-up of workers who returned to work after industrial accidents. Stable job performance of an industrial disaster victim is the key factor to maintain worker's comfortable and qualitative life as well as increase of productive capacity.

Sex Differences in Factors Associated with General Life Satisfaction among Occupationally Injured Workers in Korea: A Panel Analysis of the 2013–2017 Panel Study of Worker’s Compensation Insurance

“…Married men showed higher general life satisfaction and men who were divorced, separated, or widowed showed lower general life satisfaction compared to never married men. Married men have more opportunity to receive family support related to their disabilities and psychosocial stress, which may help male workers improve their health and employment outcomes compared to never married men and men who are divorced, separated, or widowed [39,40,41,42]. Also, married men may be more financially stable than men who are divorced, separated, or widowed because 49.3% of all Korean households were dual-earner households in 2017 [43], and this may lead to better general life satisfaction among married men.…”

ICF-Based Job Performance Predictors for South Korean Industrial Accident Workers: Population-Based 3-Year Longitudinal Analysis

“…Workers injured by industrial accidents express psychological difficulties, aftereffects, and physical difficulties in performing their jobs [16]. As a result, workers injured by industrial accidents may have lower performance compared to their previous work performance and experience difficulties in returning to work and maintaining their work.…”

“…Lee & Kim, 2018 [23] reported that personal factors (e.g., educational level, workplace, disability grade, and the presence of disability), environmental factors (e.g., economic activities, employment status, employment period, socioeconomic status, the length of recuperation, and work performance), and participation factors (e.g., the degree of others' help and difficulties in IADL) significantly affected job performance. This study selected explanatory variables by referring to the results of these previous studies [16,23].…”

“…Choi & Lee, 2015 [15] defined job performance as the knowledge, skills, attitudes, behaviors, and understanding of the job performance process required to perform the job. In other words, good job performance means that a worker has good work performance [16], and one with excellent work performance may return to work relatively easier. The Korea Workers' Compensation & Welfare Service [17] reported that 95.7% of employers at workplaces where an industrial accident occurred responded that they would positively consider the return of workers injured by industrial accident to work if specific medical information (e.g., possible to return to work) is provided to the employer.…”
