Abstract

Volunteers in public libraries are recognized only as internal manpower, so their sustainability and effectiveness are limited because the motivation for volunteering is hardly considered. This study aims to explore the motivation for volunteering in public libraries and the factors to continuation of the volunteering, and to analyze how these factors affect volunteer satisfaction and marketing intentions. To this end, the variables in this studies including satisfaction and motivation was defined operationally based on the related research and a pilot study with several in-depth interviews. A questionnaire survey was executed with the defined variables and the survey data were analyzed statistically. The results showed that the factors of emotional and psychological motivation influenced the satisfaction and marketing intention rather than the managerial factors such as remuneration. The results indicate the need for a change in volunteer management to a relationship-oriented management method. This study is meaningful in that it expands the value of volunteers in public libraries from as managerial to as marketing resources for public libraries.

현재 공공도서관의 자원봉사자는 주로 내부 인력보충의 측면으로 관리되고 자원봉사자 관점에서의 고려가 부족하여 참여의 지속성과 경영효과가 제한적이다. 본 연구는 공공도서관 자원봉사자의 참여 동기와 지속 요인들을 검토하고 이 요인들이 자원봉사자의 만족도와 마케팅 의도에 미치는 영향을 파악하는 것을 목적으로 한다. 이를 위해 자원봉사자, 만족도, 동기요인에 대한 이론적 개념을 기반으로 각 변수에 대한 개념 및 측정요인을 확인하였으며, 자원봉사자 5명의 심층면담을 통해 연구가능성 및 고려요인을 검토하였다. 이를 바탕으로 개발된 설문지로 설문조사를 진행하여 수집된 데이터를 기반으로 통계분석을 실시하였다. 분석 결과, 자원봉사자의 참여동기와 지속 요인은 보수 등의 관리적 요인보다 정서적·심리적 요인들이 자원봉사자 만족도와 마케팅 의도에 영향을 미쳤다. 이러한 결과는 관계 중심적 관리 방식으로의 변화의 필요성을 나타내며 자원봉사자를 인력 충원의 관점으로 인식했던 것에서 더 나아가 자원봉사자의 만족을 기반으로 한 공공도서관의 마케팅 자원으로서 활용가치를 높였다는 점에서 의의가 있다.
