Abstract

The purpose of this study is to investigate what affect social welfare workers' want of career change. The structural equation modeling(AMOS 16.0) was used to examine if job characteristics and organizational characteristics have direct affect on turnover intention or the indirect affect of organizational commitment. A survey was conducted on the social welfare workers of private social agencies in the capital area and 256 of 297 questionnaires that showed clear intentions on turnover were scrutinized. According to the analysis, job autonomy(job characteristics) and fairness in promotion (organization characteristics) influences organizational commitment. Job demand, job instability, wage level, and organizational commitment have and effect on turnover intention. The results of this study suggest that in order to reduce the turnover intention among social welfare workers, empowerment, systematic organization of tasks and active communication should be reinforced.

본 연구는 사회복지사들의 이직의도에 영향을 미치는 요인을 검증하는데 목적이 있다. 이를 위해 구조방정식모형(AMOS 16.0)을 통해 사회복지사의 이직의도에 미치는 영향요인에 대한 인과관계를 설정하여 직무특성과 조직특성이 이직의도에 직접적인 영향이 미치는지 또는 조직몰입을 매개로 하여 간접적으로 영향이 미치는지 살펴보았다. 연구 목적을 달성하기 위해 수도권을 포함한 시 도에서 민간 사회복지 관련 기관에 근무하는 사회복지사를 대상으로 설문조사를 실시하였다. 배포된 설문지 총 297부 중 이직의도가 확인된 설문지 256부를 최종 분석하였다. 분석결과 직무특성인 직무자율성과 조직특성인 승진절차공정성은 조직몰입에 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났고, 직무요구성과 직무불안정, 임금수준은 이직의도에 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났으며, 조직몰입은 이직의도에 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 이러한 연구결과를 통해 사회복지사들의 이직의도를 낮추기 위해서는 임파워먼트와 사회복지업무의 시스템화, 인적관리의 체계화, 의사소통의 활성화가 고려되어야 함을 알 수 있다.
