Abstract

In this study, we analyze the relationship between long-term care workers' emotional labor, professional quality of life, and service quality. The subjects of this study were 211 long-term care workers working in long-term care facilities. Self-administered questionnaires were used. In the research model, emotional labor(surface behavior, internal behavior) was verified using independent variables, with professional quality of life (compassion satisfaction, compassion fatigue) as the parameters and service quality as the dependent variables. The results of this study are as follows. First, the fit of the model was good. Second, the direct effects of emotional labor on service quality were not significant. However, there was a positive correlation between internal behavior and service quality, and a negative correlation between surface behavior and service quality. Third, professional quality of life(empathy satisfaction) was the most influential variable in terms of service quality. The results of this study demonstrate the necessity to payclinical and academic attention to long-term care workers' emotional labor and quality of life.

본 연구에서는 요양보호사의 감정노동, 직무관련 삶의 질, 서비스 질의 관계를 분석하였다. 연구대상은 전국의 장기요양시설에 근무하는 요양보호사 211명이며, 자기기입식 설문지를 활용하여 조사 하였다. 연구모형은 감정노동(표면행위, 내면행위)을 독립변수, 직무관련 삶의 질(공감만족, 공감피로)을 매개변수, 서비스 질을 종속변수로 구성하여 검증하였다. 모형의 적합성과 서비스 질에 영향을 미치는 각 요인의 직접효과, 간접효과를 검증한 결과 모형의 적합도는 적합한 수준이었으며, 감정노동 표면행위와 내면행위에서 서비스 질로 향하는 직접효과는 통계적으로 유의미하지 않는 것으로 나타났다. 그러나 직무관련 삶의 질을 매개하여 서비스 질에 영향을 미치는 총 효과는 통계적으로 유의미하였으며, 내면행위와 서비스질의 관계에서는 정적 상관관계, 표면행위와 서비스질의 관계는 부적 상관관계가 있음을 확인할 수 있었다. 서비스 질에 영향력이 가장 큰 변인은 직무관련 삶의 질(공감만족)이었다. 이 연구 결과를 토대로 요양보호사의 감정노동과 삶의 질에 대한 임상적, 학문적 관심을 환기시킬 필요성을 제안하였다.
