본 연구는 공공도서관 사서들의 직무스트레스를 업무 능력 및 효율성을 저해하는 요소로 파악하고 직무스트레스 요인을 분석하고자 하였다. 특히 업무정보와 직무스트레스간의 상관관계가 있다는 가설을 설정하고 접근하였다. 이를 위해 공공도서관 사서 총 36명을 대상으로 방문 및 전자 메일 설문을 통해 직무스트레스 현황을 조사하였다. 조사 결과, 업무정보와 직무스트레스는 상관관계가 있는 것으로 나타났으며, 직무스트레스의 경우 조직적 영역의 요인보다는 개인적 영역의 요인이 상대적으로 크게 작용함을 알 수 있었다. 본 연구를 통해 업무 정보의 중요성을 인식하고, 원활한 정보 교류 및 교육을 통해 업무 효율성을 높이고자 하였으며, 더 나아가 후속연구를 위해 측정도구가 개발된다면 보다 정확한 결과를 기대해 볼 수 있을 것이라 생각한다.

While small libraries have steadily increased in quantity, parts of qualitative growth such as lack of manpower and poor operation have been pointed out as problems. Accordingly, with the aim of establishing a foundation for linkage and cooperation between public libraries and small libraries, the small library itinerant librarians project has been promoted since 2010, and its scale has been continuously expanding. However, the lack of manpower and poor operation still remain tasks to be solved, and the poor treatment and job environment of itinerant librarians have not improved. In this context, this study aims to examine the problems of small libraries and job problems experienced by itinerant librarians and to find ways to improve the job environment of itinerant librarians based on this. Through the analysis of previous studies, small libraries and net companies were investigated, and in-depth interviews were conducted with participants related to itinerant librarians and small libraries. Through interview data analysis, a total of 17 meaning topics were extracted, including 'lack of work authority', 'lack of work manual', 'lack of communication, community', 'lack of integrated operating system', 'poor treatment and working environment', 'malicious user', and 'lack of belonging'. Based on this, four improvement measures were proposed, including the improvement of the job authority and standard regulations of itinerant librarians, the establishment of a community organization, job security guarantees, and job education reinforcement.
