Abstract: Abstract Work and labor provide people with not only the means to make a living but also a sense of belonging, identity, dignity, and social recognition. Next to the time we spend sleeping, work takes up the most time in our lives. Work (labor) therefore is a very large and significant aspect of our lives and of society. Unfortunately, despite the significance of work, Korean society often seems to pay more attention to the outcomes and the perceived influence of work than to the actual reality of the work people face in daily life.
