Abstract

Assuming that Smart Work will have a positive effect on job satisfaction, and which, in turn, will improve productivity, domestic and international organizations have adopted and implemented Smart Work. However, leading companies have recently reduced or shut down operations of Smart Work. If Smart Work had really brought about the improvement of productivity, there would be no reason for organizations to take such action. Therefore, this paper reviews the relationship among Smart Work, job satisfaction and productivity. Based on the National Digital Science Library (NDSL) database, we select eight references related to Smart Work, and analyze them systematically. The previous empirical studies show that Smart Work produces a positive outcome for job satisfaction, which, in turn, improves productivity. However, we find that the previous research has a problem demonstrating the relationship between job satisfaction and productivity, because they has unclearly measured the concept of job satisfaction. This research deeply discuss this issue, and provides future research direction.

최근 스마트워크를 도입했던 선도 기업들이 스마트워크를 축소하거나 폐지하는 사례가 나타나고 있다. 스마트워크는 직무만족에 긍정적으로 작용하며, 직무만족은 생산성의 향상을 가져올 것이라는 기존 연구들의 예측에 대한 의구심이 제기되고 있다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 스마트워크와 직무만족 및 생산성 간의 관계를 재검토하고자 한다. 이를 위해 한국과학기술정보센터의 NDSL 데이터베이스를 기반으로 스마트워크와 관련된 8건의 문헌을 선정하여 체계적으로 분석하였다. 선행 연구들에서는 스마트워크는 직무만족에, 직무만족은 생산성 향상에 긍정적인 영향을 미치고 있음을 실증하고 있었다. 하지만 기존 연구에서 스마트워크가 직무만족을 가져다준다는 실증이나 직무만족 개념에 대한 정의와 측정 등에서 문제의 가능성이 있음을 발견하였다. 이와 관련하여 본 연구는 스마트워크와 직무만족, 그리고 삶의 만족과 직무만족에 대해 심층적으로 논의하고, 향후 연구 방향을 제시하였다.
