Abstract

The purpose of this study was to examine the influencing factors of job engagement among Korean police officers. This was the secondary analysis of data from the 5th Korean Working Conditions Survey (KWCS). The study subjects included 185 Korean police officers. Collected data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, t-test, ANOVA, Pearson's correlation and multiple regression with IBM SPSS Statistics 24.0 program. Job insecurity (${\beta}=-.34$, p<.001), job reward (${\beta}=.39$, p<.001), subjective health status (${\beta}=.22$, p<.001), and organizational justice (${\beta}=.20$, p=.002) were significant influencing factors on job engagement, explaining 59.3% of the variance (F=34.26, p<.001). Effective and systematic strategies to improve Korean police officers' job engagement should focus on job reward, job insecurity, subjective health status, and organizational justice. The results of this study can be utilized as base data to improve Korean police officers' job engagement.

본 연구는 국내 경찰관의 직무열의 영향요인을 확인하고자 실시한 서술적 횡단조사연구이다. 본 연구는 제5차 근로환경조사 원시자료를 이차 분석하였고, 연구대상자는 총 185명의 경찰관이다. 수집된 자료는 IBM SPSS Statistics 24.0 프로그램을 사용하여 기술통계, t-test, ANOVA, Pearson's correlations, multiple regression으로 분석하였다. 본 연구의 결과에서 직무불안정성(${\beta}=-.34$, p<.001), 직무보상(${\beta}=.39$, p<.001), 주관적 건강상태(${\beta}=.22$, p<.001)와 조직공정성(${\beta}=.20$, p=.002)은 직무열의에 영향을 미치는 유의한 변수로 확인되었다. 이들 변수들은 경찰관의 직무열의 를 59.3%(F=34.26, p<.001)설명하였다. 즉, 직무불안정성이 낮을수록, 직무보상과 조직공정성이 높을수록, 주관적 건강상태가 양호할수록 직무열의는 높아지는 것으로 나타났다. 따라서 경찰관의 직무열의를 향상시키기 위한 전략 수립시 직무보상, 직무불안정성, 주관적 건강상태, 조직공정성을 관리할 수 있는 체계적이고 통합적인 중재방안이 필요하다.
