Abstract

The purpose of this study is to investigate the effects of job satisfaction and life satisfaction on teacher-children interactions in kindergarten teachers. The tests of Job satisfaction scale, Life Satisfaction scale, Teacher-Children Interactions scale were administered to 320 public and private kindergarten teachers located in Gyeonggi-do, Gangwon-do. The statistical method employed for data analysis was Pearson's correlation analysis and multiple regression analysis. The results of study were as follows. First, the higher factors of job satisfaction (the teaching consciousness, development, innovation, autonomy, fellowship, and reward), the higher the teacher-children interaction. The higher the workload, the lower the verbal interaction between teacher-children. Second, the higher the life satisfaction of kindergarten teachers, the higher the emotional, verbal, and behavioral interaction between teachers and children. Third, the relative influences of the predictors on the overall interaction between teacher and children are life satisfaction (β=.24), development (β=.22), and fellowship (β=.16) and the explained variance are 25%.

본 연구의 목적은 유치원 교사의 직무만족도와 삶의 만족도가 교사-유아 상호작용에 미치는 영향을 확인하는 것이다. 이를 위해 경기도, 강원도에 소재한 공·사립 유치원 교사 320명을 대상으로 유치원 교사의 직무만족도, 삶의 만족도, 교사-유아 상호작용을 측정하는 설문에 응답하도록 하였다. 수집된 자료를 토대로 Pearson의 적률상관관계 분석과 중다회귀분석을 실시한 결과는 다음과 같다. 첫째, 직무만족도의 하위요인인 교직의식, 발전성, 혁신성, 자율성, 동료애, 보상이 높을수록 교사- 유아의 상호작용도 높게 나타났으며, 업무부담이 높을수록 언어적 상호작용이 낮게 나타났다. 둘째, 유치원 교사의 삶의 만족도가 높을수록 정서적, 언어적, 행동적 상호작용도 높게 나타났다. 즉, 유치원 교사의 직무만족도 하위변인과 삶의 만족도는 교사-유아 상호작용의 하위변인인 정서적, 언어적, 행동적 상호작용과 정적인 유의한 관계가 있다. 셋째, 교사- 유아 상호작용 전체에 대한 예언변인들의 상대적 영향력은 삶의 만족도(β= .24), 발전성(β= .22), 동료애(β= .16) 순이고, 그 설명변량은 25%인 것으로 나타났다.
