Comparative Analysis on the Effects of Family-friendly Programs: Focused on the Perceptions of Public and Private Sector Employees

문신용; Ki-Chan Yoon

Since many organizations have experienced a considerable increase of women workers recently, the family-friendly programs have become important issues in public organization as well as private companies. The family-friendly programs are mainly implemented to improve and balance the relationships between work and family. Recently both public and private organizations have adopted several family-friendly programs such as flextime, part-time employment, child care, maternity leave, and family leave. With regard to balancing work and family issues, there have been some efforts to promote family-friendly programs in Korean government and private sector organizations. Although family-friendly programs are adopted in both public and private organizations, the public sectors may face different issues and effects as compared to the private sectors. This study comparatively analyzes the perceptions of public sector employees of the public schools and private enterprise employees of the insurance company about the implementation and the effect of family-friendly programs. The results showed that both groups positively perceive the benefits associated with the family-friendly programs. They indicated some important benefits such as increased employee morale, more parental involvement in children's lives, work-life balance, and increased parental participation in education. And they seemed to perceive relatively few negative outcomes as a result of implementing family-friendly programs. The study also revealed that the employees of the insurance company indicate better perceived benefits and less negative outcomes of the family-friendly programs than public school teachers.
