본 연구는 숲해설가의 직무만족 향상과 효율적인 조직운영을 위한 기초자료제공을 목적으로 숲해설가의 직무만족도와 관련변인에 따른 직무만족도 차이를 분석하였다. 첫째, 전체직무만족도는 평균 3.41점(5점 만점)으로 직무자체에 대한 만족도는 중위수보다 높은 것으로 나타났으나 복리후생에 관한 만족도는 상대적으로 낮은 것으로 조사되었다. 둘째, 직무만족도 요인분석결과 조직분위기, 보상수준, 직무갈등, 근무여건 네 개의 요인으로 분류되었고 조직분위기와 근무여건 요인에 대한 만족도는 높고 보상수준의 만족도는 낮은 것으로 나타났다. 셋째, 전체직무만족도는 소속기관, 활동현장, 근무경력에 따라 차이가 있는 것으로 나타났고, 직무만족도 하위요인의 경우 조직분위기는 근무경력과 소속기관에 따라 차이가 있었고 보상수준은 소속기관, 근무여건은 소속기관과 활동현장에 따라 유의한 차이가 있었다.
