A Study on Decision-Making in the Field of Home Management

The purpose of this study is to review how and to what extent the concept of "Decision- Making" has been dealt with in Home Management in Korea. The study was made by examining the history of Home Economics in Korea, from the subjects of the articles carried in Home Economics Journals. The formal Home Economics education began at Ewha Junior college in 1910. The concept of Decision-Making has been taught in the Home Economics classes. One hundred study articles, selected from the area of Home Management since 1959, dealt with the aspect of Environment, Family and Management. In the management articles, the word "Decision-Making" appeared in the subjects of 2 articles and a few articles dealt with the concept of "Decision-Making" direct or indirect ways. It was however not until 1970s that these articles covering "Decision Making" began to appear. In view of this, more emphasis is expected to be placed on the concept of Decision-Making in Home Management in the future. The Decision-Making in respect of time management, money management and human resources management should constitute the important areas.
