Abstract

The purpose of this study is to examine the effect of job stress on psychological burnout of childcare teachers and the mediating effect of self-esteem between two variables. For the study, the data collected from 520 teachers working in day-care centers in Seoul, Gyeonggi and Incheon areas were analyzed by utilizing the path analysis model. The results are as follows. First, job stress of childcare teachers had a positive effect on their psychological burnout, but it had a negative effect on their self-esteem. Second, self-esteem of childcare teachers influenced negatively their psychological burnout. Third, job stress of childcare teachers directly affected psychological burnout and its effect was indirectly mediated by their self-esteem. On the basis of the findings, the need to reduce job stress and psychological burnout and to enhance self-esteem was suggested.

본 연구의 목적은 보육교사의 직무스트레스가 심리적 소진에 미치는 영향과 그 과정에서 자아존중감의 매개효과를 검증하는데 있다. 이를 위해 서울, 경기, 인천지역 어린이집에 근무하는 보육교사 520명을 대상으로 설문조사를 하였고, 그 자료를 중심으로 직무스트레스, 심리적 소진 및 자아존중감에 대한 경로분석 모형을 살펴보았다. 분석결과는 다음과 같다. 첫째, 보육교사의 직무스트레스는 심리적 소진에 정(+)적인 영향을 미치며, 자아존중감에는 부(-)적인 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 둘째, 자아존중감은 심리적 소진에 부(-)적인 영향을 미치는 것으로 확인되었다. 셋째, 보육교사의 직무스트레스가 심리적 소진에 미치는 직접적인 영향과 자아존중감을 매개로 한 간접적인 영향이 확인되었다. 이러한 결과를 바탕으로 보육교사의 직무스트레스 및 심리적 소진의 감소와 자아존중감 향상을 위한 프로그램 개발의 필요성이 제시되었다.
