Abstract

The purpose of this study was to examine to identify factors affecting wellness of fire officials. This study collected questionnaire data from 219 fire officials working in Gyeongsangnam-do. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, Pearson's correlation, Sobel test and multiple regression analysis with IBM SPSS statistics 24.0 program. Wellness of fire officials was correlated with job stress(r=.-49, p<.001) and positive psychological capital(r=.70, p<.001). In addition, job stress showed a significant negative correlation with positive psychological capital (r=-.56, p<.001). As a result of analyzing the mediating effect of positive psychological capital on the relationship between job stress and wellness of fire officials, positive psychological capital showed a significant mediating effect. Based on the finding, it is necessary to develop an intervention program that strengthens positive psychological capital in order to improve the wellness of fire officials and reduce job stress.

본 연구는 소방공무원의 웰니스에 영향을 미치는 요인을 파악하기 위한 서술적 조사연구이다. 본 연구의 대상자는 경상남도에 근무중인 소방공무원 219명을 대상으로 설문자료를 수집하였다. 수집된 자료는 IBM SPSS 24.0 프로그램을 이용하여 기술통계, Pearson's 상관계수분석, Sobel 테스트 및 다중회귀분석 등의 방법으로 분석하였다. 연구결과 소방공무원의 웰니스는 직무스트레스(r=.-49, p<.001), 긍정심리자본(r=.70, p<.001)과 유의미한 상관관계가 있는 것으로 나타났다. 또한 직무스트레스는 긍정심리자본과 유의한 부적 상관관계를 보였다(r=-.56, p<.001). 소방공무원의 직무스트레스와 웰니스의 연관성에서 긍정심리자본의 매개효과를 분석한 결과, 긍정심리자본이 유의한 매개효과를 나타내었다. 본 연구결과를 바탕으로 소방공무원의 웰니스 증진과 직무스트레스 감소를 위해서 긍정심리자본을 강화하는 중재 프로그램을 개발할 필요가 있다.
