Abstract

The study attempted to examine the structural model of the effects of health status and retirement aging anxiety on middle-aged workers. The subjects were collected from 263 40-59 year old middle-aged workers who work at three institutions in C and G cities. Results First, the variables affecting aging anxiety were aging preparation and health status, and these variables accounted for 52% of aging anxiety. Second, health status had a significant effect on retirement preparedness, and there was a significant indirect effect on aging anxiety through retirement preparedness. There was a partial control effect due to the difference in the path coefficient between health status and aging anxiety in the multi-group moderating effect of 40~49 and 50~59 years. Therefore, in order to reduce aging anxiety, it is important to find ways to prepare for various retirement, and a systematic management system is necessary.

본 연구는 중년직장인 대상으로 건강상태, 노후준비가 노화불안에 미치는 영향에 대한 구조모형을 검증하고자 시도되었다. 연구대상은 C시와 G시에 소재하는 기관 3개소에 근무하는 40~59세 중년 직장인 263명을 대상으로 설문지를 이용하여 자료를 수집하였다. 연구결과 첫째, 노화불안에 영향을 미치는 변수들의 직접효과는 노후준비가 가장 큰 요인으로 나타났으며, 그 다음 건강상태 순으로 나타났고 이들 변인들은 노화불안 정도를 52% 설명하였다. 둘째, 건강상태가 노후준비에 유의한 영향을 미쳤으며, 노후준비를 통한 노화불안에 유의한 간접효과가 있는 것으로 나타났다. 40~49세와 50~59세 직장인 집단을 조절변수로 하는 다중집단 조절효과에서 건강상태와 노화불안의 경로계수가 집단간 차이가 있어 부분조절효과가 있었다. 따라서 노화불안을 줄이기 위해서는 다양한 노후준비에 대한 방안모색이 중요하며, 신체적, 정신적 건강상태를 잘 유지할 수 있는 체계적인 관리 시스템이 필요하다고 사료된다.
