From the results of the study, it was known that family-friendly organizational culture has effect on the job engagement, and work and family conflict play an intermediary role between the organizational culture and job engagement. Therefore, it can be explained that family-friendly organizational culture enhances the job engagement of married female social workers, and the culture would be a good measure of the compatibility of work and family life. Based on the study, it is suggested that public relation and education need to be preceded for the spread of family-friendly organizational culture by national initiated programs.

본 논문은 가족 친화적 조직문화가 사회복지기관 기혼 여성 사회복지사의 직무열의에 미치는 영향과, 양자 간에 일-가정 갈등이 가진 매개효과를 규명하고, 이를 바탕으로 사회복지기관의 바람직한 가족 친화적 조직문화 조성을 위한 방안을 제시하는데 목적이 있다. 연구결과, 가족 친화적 조직문화는 직무열의에 직접적인 영향을 미치고, 일-가정 갈등을 매개로 직무열의에 간접적인 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 이로써 일-가정 갈등이 가족 친화적 조직문화와 직무열의 간의 매개효과가 있음을 알 수 있었다. 따라서 가족 친화적 조직문화가 기혼 여성 사회복지사의 일-가정 갈등을 경감시키고 직무열의를 향상시키는 좋은 방안임을 확인할 수 있었다. 이 결과를 바탕으로 사회복지기관의 가족 친화적 조직문화를 형성하기 위해서는 일과 가정의 조화를 중시하는 가치를 공유하는 수준을 넘어, 조직 내 모든 근로자에게 적용되는 탄력근무제와 직무표준화, 성과관리제 그리고 인사시스템 등을 갖추어져야 한다고 제언했다.
