Abstract

The purpose of this research study is to analyze the influence on the necessity of establishment of eco-friendly hospital by evaluating hospital employees' awareness and their satisfaction level of working environment. Questionnaire investigation was conducted in April 2014 throughout five different medium-size hospitals in Seoul, Gyeonggi and Chungcheongbuk provinces. 213 sets of survey were used to conduct Frequency Analysis, T-test, Dispersion Analysis(ANOVA) and Structural Equation Modeling Analysis. The research concluded that employees with higher level of education, working position and longer term of working experience were more aware about Eco-friendly hospital. In addition, male, doctor, and employees with higher level of education and working position were more satisfied with their working environment. And male, employees with higher level of education and working position were more aware about necessity of establishment of eco-friendly hospital. According to the Structural Equation Modeling Analysis, the awareness of Eco-friendly hospital and the satisfaction level of working environment were the varying factors that influence the necessity of establishment of Eco-friendly hospital. Therefore, it is crucial for hospitals that are preparing for establishing Eco-friendly hospital to raise employees' level of understanding of Eco-friendly hospital and their working environment satisfaction level.

본 연구는 병원직원의 인식과 근무환경 만족도를 조사하여 친환경 병원 도입의 필요성에 미치는 영향력을 분석하는데 목적이 있다. 설문조사는 2014년 4월에 진행하였으며 서울시, 경기도, 충청북도의 5개 중소병원을 대상으로 하였다. 213부를 활용하여 빈도분석, T-test, 분산분석(ANOVA) 및 구조방정식모형 분석을 실시하였다. 연구결과 응답자의 교육수준과 직급이 높고, 근속연수가 길수록 친환경 병원에 대한 인식이 높았으며, 남성과 의사가 그리고 교육수준과 직급이 높을수록 근무환경 만족도가 높았다. 친환경병원의 도입필요성은 남성이 그리고 교육수준과 직급이 높을수록 높게 인식하였다. 구조방정식모형의 분석결과 친환경병원에 대한 인식과 근무환경의 만족도 모두 친환경병원 도입필요성에 영향력을 미치는 변수로 나타났다. 따라서 친환경 병원경영을 도입하고자 하는 병원들의 직원들의 친환경병원 인식과 근무환경 만족도를 모두 높이기 위한 전략이 필요할 것으로 판단된다.
