Although waged workers' working conditions have notably diversified in South Korea, there is little research addressing this issue. This study explores the relationship between working conditions and engagement in leisure-time physical activities (LTPA) among waged workers in South Korea.
Data from 19- to 64-year-old waged workers (men=2,562, women=1,627) from the 11th wave of the Korean Income and Labor Panel Study were included in this study. Multiple logistic regression analyses were conducted to assess the association between LTPA and working conditions by gender.
More than 75% of employed persons did not participate in any type of LTPA. For male workers, those in manual, precarious, overtime, and non-shift positions were less likely to engage in LTPA, while for female workers, only manual and overtime work positions were significant factors influencing a low level of LTPA.
Some negative work-related factors were associated with low LTPA, especially for male workers. Further studies should be conducted to clarify the pathways and barriers precluding engagement in LTPA due to work-related factors.
尽管韩国受薪工人的工作条件显著多样化，但针对这一问题的研究却很少。本研究探讨了韩国受薪工人的工作条件与休闲时间体育活动（LTPA）参与度之间的关系。
本研究纳入了韩国收入与劳动面板研究第11轮中19至64岁受薪工人的数据（男性=2562人，女性=1627人）。进行了多项逻辑回归分析，以按性别评估LTPA与工作条件之间的关联。
超过75%的就业人员未参与任何类型的LTPA。对于男性工人，从事体力劳动、不稳定、加班和非轮班工作的人参与LTPA的可能性较小，而对于女性工人，只有体力劳动和加班工作岗位是影响LTPA水平较低的重要因素。
一些与工作相关的负面因素与低LTPA相关，尤其是对男性工人而言。应进一步开展研究，以阐明因工作相关因素而妨碍参与LTPA的途径和障碍。
