Abstract

The objective of the study was to explain the effect of job fit on life satisfaction of wage workers and verify the mediating effect of job satisfaction between two variables. For the purpose, 7,202 research subjects were selected from the 23th data of the Korean Labor and Income Panel Study. Selected data was analyzed by various methods including frequency analysis, descriptive statistics analysis, and correlation analysis. Moreover, the mediating effect was verified by applying SPSS Macro Model Number 4 analysis and bootstrapping method. The major findings are as follows. First, job fit of wage workers was shown to enhance their life satisfaction. Second, work satisfaction of wage workers was revealed to play a complete mediating role in the relationship between job fit and life satisfaction of wage workers. On the basis of the results, the various practical programs to increase life satisfaction of wage workers were discussed.

본 연구는 임금근로자의 직무적합도가 생활만족도에 미치는 영향과 일 만족도의 매개효과를 검증하는데 그 목적이 있다. 분석을 위해 한국노동패널조사(Korean Labor and Income Panel Study) 23차년도(2020년) 자료를 활용하였고 그 중 임금근로자 7,202명을 표본으로 추출하였다. 수집된 자료는 SPSS WIN 25.0 프로그램을 사용하여 빈도분석, 기술통계, 상관분석을 실시하였고 PROCESS MACRO 4 프로그램으로 매개효과를 검증했다. 간접효과의 유의성은 Bootstrapp 기법으로 분석했다. 주요 연구 결과는 다음과 같다. 첫째, 임금근로자의 직무적합도는 생활만족도를 향상시키는 것으로 확인됐다. 둘째, 직무적합도와 생활만족도의 관계에서 일 만족도는 완전매개효과를 보이고 있다. 연구결과에 근거해서 임금근로자의 생활만족도를 향상시킬 수 있는 실천적 개입 방안들을 논의하였다.
