노사관계연구의 발전과 전망: 『인사관리연구』게재논문 분석결과

초록

In this study, we evaluate the research progress in a branch of employment and industrial relations and try to find a way to make a future development of this academic area through reviewing the relevant articles published in The Korean J ournal of Human Resource Management(KJHRM). From the first volume in 1980to the recent publication on December 2008, the KJHRM issued 32 volumes and published 586 articles. Among the articles, the articles in industrial relations branch were 101 and those come to 17.8% of the total articles. We try to classify and analyse the articles by the issues, topics, and methods. As a result, we find several interesting facts. From 1987 to 1997, the main research topic was focused on wage and compensation, whereas the topics had been changed to labor flexibility and contingent work (workers) since the financial crisis in 1998. In addition, the analytical level in researches also changed from macro dimension to micro area, and also the portion of empirical studies has been much greater than that of conceptual researches. Lastly, we also find that the articles which make use statistical data have been increased steadily but the researches based on literature have been decreased consistently.
