This study is aimed to figure out the factors which have an effect on job satisfaction and job continuity among foreign laborers in agricultural and livestock industry. According to analysis on the factors which include foreign workers job satisfaction and job continuity using a structural equation model, the following results were obtained: First, economic factors such as wage and bonus had a significant effect (β=.77, t=4.970) on job satisfaction. Second, employment-related institutional factors (ex: Length of stay, perception of return cost insurance and workers compensation insurance,day-off, etc.) also had a significant effect (β=-.06, t=-.437) on job satisfaction. Third, living environment (ex: Lodging facilities, washing facilities, etc.) had no significant effect (β=.08, t=2.170) on job satisfaction. Fourth, foreign workers job satisfaction which is taken as the indicator of evaluation on employees and job satisfaction at work had a significant effect (β=1.11,t=6.415) on job continuity and willingness to recommend the job to others. In conclusion, the efforts to make foreign workers keep working for a long time are critical in securing skilled manpower instead of recruiting new workers in order to solve labor shortage in agricultural and livestock industry.
