Abstract

This study examined the significance of the crew's professional consciousness and sought to clarify the differences in the professional consciousness of crew by considering biographical characteristics of the crew and onboard working situations, which were expected to influence the professional consciousness of crew. The empirical analysis showed the crew's individual characteristics such as age, marital status, position in ship organization and nationality significantly influenced professional consciousness. The comparison in the differences of professional consciousness level among crew's nationalities showed that the professional consciousness of Filipino crew was the highest, and in the descending order of Indonesia, Myanmar, Chinese, and South Korea. The analysis results of other variables of on-board working characteristics showed that as crew's satisfaction of welfare increased, crew's professional consciousness increased, whereas the feeling of isolation from home and society had a statistically significant negative (-) impact on crew's professional consciousness. Furthermore, the analysis of multinational crew manning characteristics stated that cross-cultural acceptance did not have a statistically significant impact on the crew's professional consciousness, while cross-cultural adaptability had a statistically significant impact. This study emphasize the importance of the crew's professional consciousness and suggest how to enhance it, which allows crew to continue their career with the charm and pride of their profession.

이 연구는 선원의 개인적 특성(연령, 결혼여부, 국적)과 승선 경력(총승선기간, 현회사 승선기간, 선내 근무부서와 직급), 승선근무 보상(선원 복지후생만족도), 승선근무 내성(이가정성 및 이사회성) 그리고 외국인 선원과의 혼승 문제(이문화 수용 및 적응) 등의 승선근무 특성들에 따라 선원직업의식 수준에 어떠한 차이가 있는지를 분석하였다. 분석결과, 선원의 연령이 높을수록, 기혼집단보다 미혼집단에서, 국적은 필리핀, 인도네시아, 미얀마, 중국, 한국 순으로 직업의식 수준이 낮아지는 것으로 나타났다. 선내 직급에서는 외국인 선원의 직장급 부원의 직업의식이 원직급 부원과 수직급 부원 그리고 3항 기사 직급보다 높게 나타났다. 승선근무 특성에서는 복지후생만족도가 높아지면 선원직업의식이 높아지며, 이가정성과 이사회성은 선원직업의식에 부(-)의 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 외국인 선원과의 혼승에 따른 이문화 수용성은 선원직업의식에 통계적으로 유의한 영향을 미치지 않지만, 이문화 적응성은 통계적으로 유의한 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 이 연구는 선원들이 자신의 직업에 대한 매력과 자부심 및 긍지를 가지고 승선근무를 지속할 수 있도록 하는 선원직업의식의 중요성을 강조하고, 선원직업의식의 제고방안을 제시하는 데에 기여할 수 있을 것이다.
