Abstract

This study aimed to provide help to seeking a preventive method of intervention in firefighter's job satisfaction by investigating the role of perceived organizational support in the relationship between firefighter's work-life balance and job satisfaction. For the foregoing, this study investigated by conducting purposeful sampling targeting 115 firefighters in Gyeonggi-do. Study results show that firefighter's work-life balance has a significant influence on job satisfaction, perceived organizational support turned out to have a significant moderating effect between work-life balance and job satisfaction. As a Wellness Convergence, based on the results, this study showed a possibility for application of perceived organizational support as a firefighter's internal coping resource, suggesting positive introduction of preventive and effective 'policy for work-life balance' and support to derive job satisfaction.

본 연구는 소방공무원의 일과 삶의 균형과 직무만족의 관계에서 조직지원인식이 어떠한 역할을 하고 있는지 파악함으로써 소방공무원의 직무만족에 대한 예방적 차원의 개입 방안을 모색하는데 그 목적이 있다. 이를 위해 경기도 소방공무원 108명을 대상으로 유의표집을 실시하여 조사하였다. 연구결과, 소방공무원의 일과 삶의 균형은 직무만족에 유의미한 영향을 미치며, 일과 삶의 균형과 직무만족 간에 조직지원인식의 조절효과가 유의미하게 나타났다. 웰니스 융합연구로서 본 연구결과를 토대로, 조직지원인식을 소방공무원의 내적 대처자원으로서 적용할 가능성을 보여주었다는 점과 직무만족을 이끌어내기 위한 예방차원의 효과적인 '일과 삶의 균형 정책'의 적극적인 도입과 지원을 할 수 있도록 제안하였다.
