Abstract

|
|
Objectives: The Korean Working Conditions Survey (KWCS), which has been conducted five times over the past 13 years, presents a diverse picture of Korean workers across occupations, genders, and age groups. This study summarized the use of KWCS and explores how to make the most of the KWCS by reviewing published peer-reviewed journal articles applying the KWCS.
Methods: Articles were selected in accordance with PRISMA protocol for a systematic literature review. A total of 155 articles were included in this review.
Results: The number of articles utilizing KWCS data has been increasing by year. The articles were published in 40 Korean journals and 16 international journals. The journals were mainly in the field of occupational safety and health and sociology. Keywords of mental health, working conditions survey, workforce, health, exposure to risk factor, and working time were mainly used. The aims of the articles could be grouped by the goals of the KWCS as stated in the survey. The majority of published articles (129 articles, 83%) aimed to ‘analyze relationships between different aspects of working conditions’. Fifteen articles (10%) were intended to ‘identify groups at risk and issues of concern as well as of progress.’ The number of articles to ‘monitor trends’ were limited.
Conclusions: The findings underline the limited utilization of the KWCS. Attention to the range and scope of utilization of KWCS should be developed to address current challenges in several OH policy issues.
