Abstract

The results of the response in the Self-report survey are occurred differently according to situational factors and personal characteristics. This study attempts to examine the effects of the question-order and question-intentions in surveys of job satisfaction. Four types of questionnaires were used in consideration of the difference between Whole Questions and detail Questions in question-order and the difference between job satisfaction measurement and job dissatisfaction measurement in question-intentions. This study surveyed 94 employees. As a result, the order and intention of questions could affect respondent's answers. However, It was not statistically significant support. Also, this study suggest significant implications, limits of this study and research direction of future study.

자기보고식 설문 조사는 상황적 요인 및 개인적 특성에 따라 응답 결과가 달라질 수 있다. 본 연구는 산업 및 조직심리학 분야에서 널리 연구되고 있는 직무만족 변인을 중심으로 설문 조사 시 질문 순서 및 질문 의도가 미치는 영향을 조사하였다. 설문지는 전반적 질문과 세부적 질문의 배치 순서에 따른 질문 순서 차이 그리고 직무만족 또는 직무불만족 측정에 따른 질문 의도 차이에 따라 총 4종류를 사용하였다. 94명의 직장인을 대상으로 한 설문 조사 결과 기존 연구와 달리 전반적 질문이 먼저 제시된 경우에서 전반적 질문과 세부적 질문에 대한 응답 간 상관이 더 높은 것으로 나타났다. 통계적으로 유의한 수준은 아니었으나 직무만족 질문이 직무불만족의 질문에 비해 대부분의 영역에서 만족도가 높은 것으로 나타났다. 끝으로 연구의 의의와 한계점 및 향후 연구방향을 살펴보았다.
