Abstract

This study aims to analyze whether there are mediating effects of emotional labor on the relationship between job characteristics of elderly caregivers and their job satisfaction and burnouts. The sample was consisted of 299 elderly caregivers working for the long-term elderly care centers from Seoul and Kyunggi areas. Both hierarchical multiple regression analysis and mediated regression analysis are used for statistical analysis. The findings from the study are as follow. First, the job characteristics of elderly caregivers have significant effects on their job satisfaction, burnouts, and emotional labor levels after controlling for background variables. Second, emotional labor has a significant effect on burnout, but it has no effect on job satisfaction. Third, there are mediating effects of emotional labor on the relationship between job characteristics of elderly caregivers and their job satisfaction/burnouts. These results suggest that enhanced supervision and stress management education as well as job improvement for elderly caregivers be carried out for the improvement of both their job satisfaction and burnouts. Furthermore, the improvement of the working conditions of elderly caregivers should be paid attention by the government as well as individual elderly care centers.

본 연구에서는 요양보호사의 직무특성이 직무만족과 소진에 미치는 영향을 살펴보고, 이들의 관계에서 감정노동의 매개효과를 연구하기 위하여 서울/경기 노인요양시설에 종사하는 요양보호사 299명을 대상으로 설문조사를 실시하였다. 연구목적을 달성하기 위해서 SPSS Ver. 21.0을 사용하여 다중회귀분석과 3단계 매개회귀분석을 실시하였다. 분석 결과, 요양보호사의 직무특성이 "직무만족, 소진, 감정노동"에 모두 유의한 영향을 미치고 있는 것으로 나타났다. 감정노동은 '직무만족'에는 유의한 영향을 미치지 못했으나, '소진'에는 유의한 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 그리고 직무특성이 직무만족과 소진에 미치는 영향에 대해서 '감정노동'은 간접매개효과를 갖는 것으로 나타났다. 이러한 결과는 요양보호사의 직무만족 향상과 소진 감소를 위해서는 직무 자체의 개선 외에도 감정노동을 최소화하기 위한 수퍼비전과 스트레스 조절교육을 강화할 필요가 있음을 시사한다. 더 나아가 요양보호사의 근로여건 개선을 개별 시설에만 맡길 것이 아니라 국가적 차원에서도 관심을 가질 필요가 있음을 보여준다.
