This study investigated the effect of a child care center directors' work stress and awareness of their servant leadership on burnout. The subjects of this study were 200 child care center directors in Incheon. They responded to 'Work Stress Scale', 'Maslach Burnout Inventory (MBI)', 'Servant Leadership Scale'. There were five subscales of Servant Leadership Scale (altruistic calling, emotional healing, wisdom, persuasive mapping, and organizational stewardship). Data were analyzed by frequency, percentage, mean, standard deviation, Pearson's correlation and hierarchical regression. Moderating effects were examined using analysis procedures of Baron and Kenny. The major results were as follows. First, child care center directors' burnout and work stress were positively correlated. Child care center directors' burnout and awareness of their servant leadership (emotional healing, wisdom, persuasive mapping, and organizational stewardship) was negatively correlated. Second, child care center directors' work stress, emotional healing, persuasive mapping and organizational stewardship affected their burnout. This means that the work stress of child care center directors increases their burnout. However, the child care center director's servant leadership is a factor in reducing burnout. Third, child care center directors' work stress and organizational stewardship had an interaction effect on burnout. The results suggests that child care center directors' organizational stewardship needs to be considered as an important factor for decreasing their own burnout. We also discussed implications and suggestions for future research and policy makers.

Through this study, we find the child care center directors have good cognition for it, but their effort for SIDS prevention is limited, because they don't have any official prevention education from authorized training center. Even though the parents have a low awareness for SIDS prevention than child care center directors, but they have high score in endeavor for SIDS precaution. Both child care center directors and parents want to receive systematic information from government side. Our infant should have a opportunity to grow up health and stability from reducing the risk of SIDS. In western countries such as U.S.A., U.K. and Japan have studied to decrease the SIDS death rate from thirty years ago, they have already government and social organization for preventing the SIDS. Nowadays, as you know well, our country birth-rate is falling by 1.08, therefore, it is important to decrease the infant death rate for keeping with our population. Also, it is relevant to the child-welfare and the child-safety and more better the child-care.

본 연구에서는 서울형 어린이집 공인인증을 통과한 보육시설의 종사자를 대상으로 서울형 어린이집 공인인증에 대한 인식을 알아보았다. 이를 위해 시설장 69명과 보육교사 240명, 총 309명을 대상으로 설문조사를 하였으며, 빈도분석, ${\chi}^2$ 검증을 이용하여 수집된 자료를 분석하였다. 그 결과 첫째, 시설장과 교사 모두 서울형 어린이집 공인인증 시행의 주요 목적은 보육서비스에 대한 효과적인 질관리 시스템 마련이며, 서울형 어린이집의 인증 대상으로 가장 적합한 시설은 민간보육시설이고 다음은 가정보육시설이라고 인식하는 것으로 나타났다. 서울형 어린이집 공인인증을 준비하는 것이 보육시설 평가인증에 비해 쉽다는 응답이 높았으며, 서울형 어린이집 공인인증을 통해 국 공립과 민간보육시설 사이의 선호도 차이가 해소될 것을 시설장과 교사 모두 기대하는 것으로 나타났다. 둘째, 서울형 어린이집의 운영체계에서 시설장은 맞춤보육서비스 평가 시 '계획서만 제출'하는 방식을, 교사는 '맞춤보육서비스 실시 후 평가'를 가장 원하는 것으로 나타났다. 안심보육서비스와 클린운영 영역에서는 시설장과 교사 모두 현재 제도에 대한 선호도가 높았다. 셋째, 서울형 어린이집 공인인증의 활성화를 위해 가장 필요한 것은 보육교사의 시간 외 수당에 대한 보완과 정부의 연속성 있는 보육정책이라는 응답이 높았다.
