Through a case study of the Gyeongseong Electric Co. (hereafter GEC) during the early 1940’s, this paper examines the particular characteristics of the labor structure and management of companies operating under wartime economic controls, as well as the lives of laborers, specifically the trolleymen at the GEC. Labor management during the late colonial period relied on an ideology of mobilization in order to control labor, but previous scholarship has portrayed the process simply as a tightening of control. To block the sudden movement of laborers, the Japanese Government-General accepted the need for a type of conciliatory policy in 1943 that permitted wage increases, provided bonuses, and offered benefits, but was intended to train “veteran laborers” [junggyeonnodongja] and more effectively control the Korean laborers. From among the trolleymen, the GEC appointed loyal, long-term employed workers as vice-supervisors or supervisors and wanted to foster these as the veteran workers. The GEC did not implement policies to rectify the mounting discontent of the Korean workers with discrimination between employee positions but used the discontent to block the workers from achieving solidarity. This policy accelerated the divisions between and the heterogenization of the Korean laborers. Junior trolleymen who had been only working for a short while were dissatisfied with the working conditions and changed companies, but the long-term workers, including the vicesupervisors and supervisors, were satisfied with the treatment of the GEC. In conclusion, the long-term consequences of the heterogenization of the Korean labor force included the post-Liberation formation of two labor unions, the Gyeongseong Electric Company Employee Union [Gyeongseongjeongi-jongeopwonjohab] and the Gyeongjeon Labor Union of the Daehan Confederation of Labor Unions [Daehannochong-Gyeongjeonnodongjohab], that fought for primacy after Liberation.

서울학연구소는 ‘서울학’을 육성, 확산하기 위해 서울 600년을 계기로 하여 1993년 서울특별시의 지원 아래 서울시립대학교 부설로 설립되었습니다.
서울학의 연구대상은 도시 서울입니다.
서울학은 서울의 장소, 사람, 일, 문화를 만들어내고 변화시키는 과정과 힘을 탐구하여 서울이 지닌 도시적 보편성과 특수성을 밝히는 것을 목적으로 합니다. 서울학여느 종합적 관점을 견지하면서 학제적 연구를 지향합니다.
서울에 대한 여러 기성학문 분야(역사학, 지리학, 사회학, 인류학, 경제학, 건축 및 도시계획학등)의 연구관심과 성과가 상호조명되고 교차되는 데에 서울학에 영역이 있습니다.
서울학의 학문적 관심은 오늘의 서울을 만들어낸 역사적 과정을 이해하는 데에 있지만, 그 실천적 관심은 현재의 서울에 대한 심화된 성찰을 통해 보다 나은 서울의 미래를 그리는데에 있습니다.
