고령화 사회로 인구 구조가 재편되면서 많은 사회적 문제가 발생하고 있으며, 노인의 삶의 질을 제고하기 위한 방안으로 노인문화복지 프로그램이 중요하며, 특히 노인문화기관의 역할이 크다. 따라서 노인문화기관에서 운영하는 전근대적인 문화복지 프로그램이나 노인문화기관의 운영 실태는 단계적으로 개선하고, 참여형 문화복지 프로그램으로 개편해야한다. 또한, 협의체 구성을 통해 노인 문화복지 활성화를 위한 제도와 법률 개정 등 문화복지 프로그램의 안정적인 운영이 필요하다. 이를 통해 노인의 삶의 독립, 참여, 보호, 자아실현, 자존감을 찾는다면 성공적인 노인복지기관의 노인 문화복지 프로그램이라고 본다.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the effects of staffs' general characteristics and institutional characteristics on the staff members' recognition of the level of ethical management in the elderly welfare institutions and to provide basic materials for raising standard of ethical management in the elderly welfare institutions. For this purpose, we conducted a questionnaire survey using structured self-filling-type questionnaires for 245 staffs of elderly welfare institutions in Seoul and Gyeonggi-do. This study sets general characteristics of staffs and institutional characteristics as the independent variables and the staff members' recognition of the level of ethical management as the dependent variable. The variables are investigated through the descriptive statistics such as frequency, percentage and average analysis, and the difference of effect on the staff members' recognition of ethical management in the elderly welfare institutions by each independent variable was analysed by t-test, ANOVA and multiple regression analysis. The results of the study shows that in terms of general characteristics of staffs, the higher male to female ratio and the higher educational level; and in institutional characteristics, the less experience in basic ethics education and the better ethical working environment of the institution are the positive factors for that the staff members estimate the level of ethical management of their workplace high. Based on these results, for making staff members recognize the level of ethical management in the elderly welfare institutions higher, we should create actual atmosphere of the ethical working environment in the institution and implement not formal but step-by-step intensive ethics education that make employees can apply it in the real situations. In conclusion, this study gives the practical suggestions for improving the staff members' recognition of ethical management level in the practice field of elderly welfare on the fast-changing trends including downsizing and privatization.

The common essence of these themes is 'The road to human rights orientation: a destination that must be reached, though not easy to go.' In order for the meanings to be settled and to fit in to the community, it was suggested it is a situation in which both internal and external renewal of the institution for the protection of the elderly is most needed. In addition, much as it turned out that legal and institutional support must be provided so that the elder protection agency can be reborn as human rights organizations with more professionalism, it was proposed to follow the institutional improvement plan derived from this study.

The social services for the elderly have been expending in order to respond to the rapid speed of aging. However, low utilization, exclusion and duplication have been pointed out as significant problems in service utilization of the elderly. This study tried to find out the utilization patterns of social services for the elderly: what kinds of and how many social services the elderly receive from what kinds of and how many organizations, and factors influencing utilization of the social services. It surveyed the entire population of the public assistance recipient elderlies at Kyonggi province in 1999. The results show that duplication is not so significant problem as the low utilization of social services. However, the fact that more than forty five percent of the elderly receives social services from more than two organizations requires the efforts for service linkage and coordination in social service delivery system. The factors, which have relatively big influence on the number of organizations which the elderly use for each social service, were sex and age among the predisposing factors, "living alone" and place for residency among the enabling factors and the number of illness, Activities of Daily Living, Instrumental Activities of Daily Living and inconvenience of housing among the needs factors. These results call for expansion of social services for the elderly especially in the way of achieving distribution balance between the rural and urban area and activation of case management practice and local association of social service delivery agencies for service linkage and coordination.

본 연구는 직무자원과 직무요구, LMX가 노인복지관의 사회복지사들의 소진에 미치는 영향을 실증적으로 검증하였다. 본 연구는 경기도 지역의 50개 노인복지관을 대상으로 총 315부의 설문조사를 실시하였다. 조사는 우편으로 진행하였고, 회수된 설문지는 총 33개 기관 189부이다. 조사기간은 2016년 1월-2월 약 두달간 이루어졌고, 기술통계, 다중회귀분석방법으로 분석하였다. 분석결과 직무자원과 직무요구는 소진에 영향을 나타내어, 직무자원이 많을수록 사회복지사들의 소진이 감소되며, 직무요구가 높을수록 사회복지사들의 소진도 높다고 할 수 있다. 또한 LMX는 직무자원, 직무요구와 소진과의 관계를 부분 매개하는 것으로 검증되었다. 이러한 결과를 토대로 노인복지관 사회복지사들의 소진을 감소하기 위하여 조직관리와 인적자원관리에 대한 함의를 찾을 수 있다.
