Abstract

The purpose of this study explained the experience of volunteering activities and the relationship of subjective self-awareness in order to examine the social meaning of volunteer activities. For adults aged 20 or older, 312 volunteering experience and social support awareness were analyzed on the level of self-identity by allocation sampling method depending on gender and age. The analysis results of this study were as follows. First, it was found that those who have experienced volunteer activitiies have a relatively simple willingness to participate in professional volunteer activities and those who have experienced volunteer activities. Second, social support and self-identification were different depending on whether they have experienced volunteer activities. Third, age, volunteer participation, willingness to participated in volunteering, and social support were analyzed as explanatory factors predicting self-identification of research participants. Based on the research results, volunteer activities to positively promote self-awareness suggested the need to practice volunteer activities according to the life cycle so that social meaning can be given. As a policy suggestion, the need for volunteer activities was closely analyzed to enable healthy self-forming for well-aging from adulthood to old age to discussed the need for policies and systems to strengthen volunteer motivation as leisure activities.

본 연구는 자원봉사활동의 사회적 의미를 살펴보기 위하여 자원봉사활동 경험과 주관적 자아인식 관계를 설명하고자 하였다. 20세 이상의 성인을 대상으로 성별과 연령에 따라 할당표집방법으로 312명의 자원봉사활동 경험, 사회적 지지인식이 자아정체성 수준에 미치는 영향요인을 분석하였다. 본 연구의 분석결과는 다음과 같다. 첫째, 자원봉사경험자의 경우 전문적인 봉사활동을, 자원봉사비경험자는 비교적 단순한 봉사활동 참여의지가 있는 것으로 나타났다. 둘째, 자원봉사활동 경험여부에 따라 사회적지지와 자아정체성 인식은 차이가 있는 것으로 나타났다. 셋째, 연령과 자원봉사 참여여부, 자원봉사 참여의지수준을 비롯한 사회적지지는 연구대상의 자아정체성을 예측하는 설명요인으로 분석되었다. 연구결과를 바탕으로 자아인식을 긍정적으로 촉진시기기 위한 자원봉사활동은 사회적 의미 부여가 이루어질수 있도록 생애주기에 따른 자원봉사 실천 필요성을 제안하였다. 정책적 제언으로 성인기부터 노년기까지 웰에이징을 위하여 건강한 자아형성이 가능하도록 봉사활동의 요구도를 면밀히 분석하여 능동적 여가활동으로서 자원봉사 동기강화 정책과 제도의 필요성을 논의하였다.
