Abstract

The purpose of this research is to examine the relationship between the adult attachment of married employees, their job motivation and marital relationship. For this purpose, a questionnaire survey was carried out with 370 married employees in the Chungnam area as the target from Sep. 10 to Oct. 14, 2016. The collected data was analyzed using SPSS 23.0 using descriptive statistical analysis, the independent sample T-test, ANOVA analysis, Pearson correlation, and structural equation analysis. First, significant differences were revealed in the level of attachment avoidance, satisfaction with the marriage relationship, and job motivation according to the age group, in the level of attachment avoidance and satisfaction with the marriage relationship according to the education level, in the level of attachment avoidance and satisfaction with the marriage relationship according to the marriage period, in job motivation according to the position, in satisfaction with the marriage relationship according to the average household income, and in satisfaction with the marriage relationship according to the work shift pattern. Second, although a significant negative correlation appeared between attachment anxiety and attachment avoidance, a significant positive correlation was found between attachment avoidance and job motivation. Also, although a significant negative correlation appeared between attachment avoidance and marital relationship, a significant positive correlation was found between job motivation and marital relationship. Third, to examine the mediating effect of satisfaction with the marital relationship on the relationship between adult attachment and job motivation, a structural equation analysis was carried out. As a result, the indirect effect of attachment anxiety on job motivation turned out to be significant and its complete mediating effect was confirmed. This suggests that when developing programs to improve job motivation within the workplace or consultative interventions for the enhancement of marital relationships, the above characteristics of individuals should be taken into consideration.

본 연구의 목적은 기혼직장인의 성인애착, 직무동기, 부부관계 간의 관계를 파악하는 것이다. 이를 위해 충남 지역의 기혼직장인 370명을 연구 대상으로 2016년 9월 10일~10월 14일까지 설문을 실시하였다. 수집된 자료는 SPSS 23.0을 이용하여 기술통계, 독립표본 t검증 및 일원배치 분산분석, Pearson 상관관계, 구조방정식으로 분석하였다. 첫째, 연령대에 따라 애착회피, 부부관계, 직무동기, 학력에 따라 애착회피, 부부관계, 결혼기간에 따라 애착회피, 부부관계, 직책에 따라 직무동기, 가계의 연평균 소득에 따라 부부관계, 근무형태에 따라 부부관계에서 유의미한 차이가 나타났다. 둘째, 애착불안과 애착회피 간에는 유의미한 부적 상관관계가 나타났지만, 애착회피와 직무동기 간에는 유의미한 정적 상관관계가 나타났다. 애착회피와 부부관계 간에는 유의미한 부적 상관관계가 나타났지만, 직무동기와 부부관계 간에서는 유의미한 정적 상관관계가 나타났다. 셋째, 성인애착과 직무동기의 관계에서 부부관계의 매개효과를 확인하기 위해 구조방정식을 실시하였다. 그 결과 애착불안이 직무동기에 주는 간접효과가 유의미하게 나타나 완전매개효과가 검증되었다. 이러한 결과는 직장 내 직무동기, 부부관계 향상을 위한 상담 개입이나 프로그램 개발을 위해서는 개개인의 이러한 특징 또한 고려되어야 함을 시사한다.
