Abstract

The purpose of this study is to review whether the self-esteem of Republic of Korea army officers and noncommissioned officers affect cultural acceptability and at the same time to determine whether these relationships are mediated by adjustment to military life and job satisfaction. For this purpose, we conducted a survey by random sampling of 580 officers and noncommissioned officers serving in the army units located in Gyeonggi Province and Gangwon Province. The collected data was analyzed by a structural equation model, including statistical and correlation analysis. As a result of analysis, self-esteem of the military officers and noncommissioned officers appeared to be mediated only by military life adjustment, or to affect the cultural acceptability mediated by the military life and job satisfaction in turn. Therefore, in order to increase the cultural acceptability of military officers and noncommissioned officers, ROK Army should enhance the self-esteem, job satisfaction and adaptability of them.

본 연구는 군 간부의 자존감이 다문화 수용성에 영향을 미치는지 파악하는데 목적이 있다. 그리고 이러한 영향 관계를 직무만족과 군생활 적응이 매개하는지 동시에 파악하고자 한다. 이를 위하여 경기도와 강원도에 소재한 육군 부대 각 1개에 복무하는 580명의 간부를 임의표집하여 설문조사를 실시하였다. 수집한 자료는 기술통계, 상관관계 분석을 비롯하여 구조방정식 모형을 설정하여 분석하였다. 그 결과, 군 간부의 자존감은 군생활 적응만을 매개하거나 직무만족과 군생활 적응을 차례대로 매개하여 다문화 수용성에 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 따라서 군간부의 다문화 수용성을 제고하기 위해서는 군 간부의 자존감, 직무만족 및 군생활 적응을 동시에 높여야 할 것이다. 이러한 결과를 토대로 군 간부의 자존감, 직무만족 및 군생활 적응력을 높이기 위한 실천적 방안을 제시하였다.
