Abstract

The purpose of this study conducted in the United States was to identify the level of role stressors among professions at centers for independent living and to investigate the relationship between role stressors and burnout at the target population. A total of 218 professions completed a web-based and hard copy survey. The participants reported a mean (standard deviation) score of 22.48 (5.80) for the role conflict dimension, 22.20 (4.30) for the role ambiguity dimension, and 9.14 (2.55) for the role overload. Demographic assessment of the differences on the mean score of the three role stressors revealed significant associations with that age, job title, highest level of education, years of human service experience and working hours per week for role conflict/role ambiguity, and experience in human service for role overload. The role conflict, ambiguity, and overload stressors were significant predictors of emotional exhaustion and depersonalization explaining 26% and 14% of the variance, respectively. None of the stressors significant predicted personal accomplishment. The results indicate that role conflict, ambiguity, and overload are important predictors of burnout among professions at centers for independent living.

본 논문의 목적은 미국 자립생활센터 실무자들이 경험하는 직무스트레스의 정도를 파악하고, 이들의 직무스트레스와 소진간의 관계를 밝히기 위함이다. 온라인조사와 설문지 조사를 통하여 설문에 최종 참여한 자립생활센터 실무자는 총 218명인데 이들이 경험하는 직무스트레스 중 직무갈등(role conflict: RC)점수는 평균 22.48 (SD = 5.80)이며 직무모호성(role ambiguity: RA) 점수는 평균 22.20 (SD = 4.30), 직무과중(role overload: RO)점수는 평균 9.14 (SD = 2.55)로 나타나 다른 휴먼서비스 직군에 비해 평균이상의 직무스트레스를 가지고 있는 것으로 나타났다. 또한 자립생활센터 실무자들의 개인적 조직적 특성에 따른 직무스트레스 정도를 ANOVA LSD 사후검정을 통해 분석한 결과, RC지수는 실무자의 나이, 직무내용, 교육정도, 휴먼서비스 근무경력, 주당 근무시간에 따라 점수 차이를 보였고, RA지수는 실무자의 휴먼서비스 근무경력과 주당 근무시간에 따라, RO지수는 휴먼서비스 근무경력에 따라 그룹 간 차이를 보이는 것으로 나타났다. 마지막으로 자립생활센터 실무자들이 경험하는 직무스트레스와 소진간의 관계성을 알아보기 위해 회귀분석한 결과, 세 가지 직무스트레스 모두 소진의 예측변수로 나타났다.
