After the liberation in North Korea, one of the urgent problems was restoration of devastated industries and normalization of production. The work force is only one resource available under the situation that production infra was not existed. For this, constant effort was pursued to reinforce workforce and material incentives for work was also considered as important measure. However, there was certain limitation to motivate worker because of elementary labor science and administration system, and low wages at that time. Therefore,North Korean political power used its ideological mobilization as a primary means to motivate worker through the establishment of perspective on labor. The main point of the socialist perspective on labor established in North Korea is that the characteristic of labor is changed from alienated labor in capitalism to autonomous labor for its country and themselves. Its logical premise was the facts that establishment of the government, workers and peasants joined and the production-relation, most means of production came into people s government s possession. For these reasons, the trade union(chikopdongmaeng)performed more like an executive organization spreading socialist perspective than traditional role as a trade union. The trade union developed not only the production increase campaign but also the ideology education for workers, cultural and physical activities. In the process of the production increase campaign, so called the mass control was used to increase labor production, which is mechanism through mutual-criticism and self-criticism between labors. Labors received education about perspective on labor and patriotism before and after working hours in their daily life. Moreover, the trade union organized worker s daily cultural and physical activities to motivate perspective on labor and workforce. Like this, the purpose of labor control was to educate worker to become a model worker . A model worker presented by North Korean political power can be called as a role model of communistic human within modern boundary.
