Abstract

The study has a purpose of understanding the factors that affect the oranizational commitment of the employees working in the libraries for visually impaired. To do this, the study chose personal background, emotional labor, role, job characteristics, organizational culture and organizational justice and attempted to find out how these factors affect the oranizational commitment. As a research method, mixed study method was used where quantitative analysis was complemented by qualitative analysis. For quantitative analysis, statistical analysis was conducted using the retrieved questionnaires. For qualitative analysis, the researcher had a one-on-one talk with the experts and employees who want to participate using an interview note was recomposed based on the survey responses. In the study results, emotional labor, job characteristics, organizational culture and organizational justice was proven to have influence on job engagement. To improve the job engagement, autonomy should be guaranteed by minimizing the organizational intervention to the assigned works and expanding the discretionary power. Furthermore, intensive management of the employees' emotional labor and fair process regarding the work performance is highly important.

이 연구는 시각장애인도서관 직무에 종사하는 직원들의 조직몰입에 영향을 미치는 요인을 파악하는데 그 목적이 있다. 이를 위해 조직몰입에 영향을 주는 요인으로는 개인적 배경, 감정노동, 역할, 직무특성, 조직문화, 조직공정성으로 선정하였다. 선정된 요인들은 양적 검증에 질적 검증을 보완한 혼합연구 방법을 사용하였으며, 양적 검증은 수집된 설문지를 대상으로 통계와 분석을 진행하였다. 질적 검증으로는 희망하는 현직자와 전문가를 대상으로 설문지 내용을 면담지로 재구성한 후에 면담을 실시하였다. 연구 결과를 요약하면 감정노동, 직무특성, 조직문화, 조직공정성이 직원들의 조직몰입에 영향을 미치는 요인으로 분석되었다. 직무몰입을 향상시키기 위해서는 담당업무에 대한 조직의 간섭을 최소화하고 재량권 확대를 통한 자율성 보장해 주어야 하며, 직원들의 감정노동에 대해 조직 차원의 집중 관리와 업무성과에 대한 공정한 절차를 거치는 것이 매우 중요하다.
