Abstract

In daycare centers, the head teacher requires the leadership to effectively meet the demands of nursery facilities, since he or she plays a role of middle management in charge of communication with the director and the teachers. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the structural relationship between the head teacher's leadership and job satisfaction of childcare teachers to enhance their organizational commitment and improve service quality and operation of nursery facilities. A survey was conducted of childcare teachers in national and public daycare centers located in Gyunggi Province from February to March 2018. Statistical analysis was performed using SPSS 23.0 and AMOS 23.0 statistical programs. Analysis results found that leadership of the head teacher positively affected job satisfaction and organizational commitment of childcare teachers. Second, the job satisfaction of childcare teachers positively affected organizational commitment. Third, job satisfaction of childcare teachers had a mediating effect in the relationship between the head teacher's leadership and the childcare teachers' organizational commitment. Results of this study suggest that effective leadership of the head teacher should be exercised to enhance the organizational commitment of childcare teachers.

본 연구는 보육기관의 서비스 질 향상과 안정적인 운영을 결정짓는 보육교사의 조직몰입 향상을 위해 주임교사의 리더십과 보육교사의 직무만족도 간의 구조적 관계성을 밝히는 데에 목적이 있다. 본 연구는 경기도에 소재한 국공립 어린이집 보육교사를 대상으로 2018년 2월부터 3월까지 각 기관에 방문하여 설문조사를 실시하였다. 수집된 자료는 SPSS 23.0과 AMOS 23.0 통계 프로그램을 활용하여 분석을 실시하였다. 분석결과, 첫째, 보육시설의 중간관리자인 주임교사의 리더십은 소속 보육교사의 직무만족과 조직몰입에 긍정적인 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 둘째, 보육시설에서 근무하는 보육교사의 직무만족은 조직몰입에 긍정적인 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 셋째, 보육시설 주임교사의 리더십과 보육교사의 조직몰입 간의 관계에서 보육교사의 직무만족은 매개효과가 있는 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구의 결과를 통하여 보육교사의 조직몰입 향상을 위해서는 보육시설의 중간관리자인 주임교사의 적절한 리더십이 발휘되어야함을 시사한다.
