Abstract

This study was performed to determine the job satisfaction and its association with sociodemographic and health related characteristics, job-related factors and job stress among nursing officers. The survey was administered to 350 nursing officers working at military hospitals of the ROK Armed Forces, from May 30 to June 15. The structured self-administered questionnaires were delivered and they were collected without respondents' personal information. As a results, The job satisfaction of respondents turned out to be significantly higher in the group of elder, current drunker, higher positional status, a longer job career, department of general wards, satisfied with their work, fit to the job, haven't considered quitting the job, lower job demand, higher decision latitude and higher support from supervisor. Especially, job stress is highly correlated with job satisfaction. Therefore, to initiate inner motives leading to higher job satisfaction to provide a better working environment for nursing officers, serious effort is necessary to improve the factors related with job stress.

본 연구는 간호장교의 인구사회학적 및 건강관련 행위 특성, 직업관련 특성 및 직무스트레스에 따른 직무만족도 수준을 알아보고, 특히 직무스트레스가 직무 만족도에 미치는 영향을 규명해 보고자 시도하였다. 조사대상은 군병원에 복무중인 육군 간호장교 350명으로 하였으며, 조사는 2011년 5월 30일부터 2011년 6월 15일까지의 기간 동안에 구조화된 무기명 자기기입식 설문지를 이용한 설문조사에 의하였다. 연구결과, 조사대상 간호장교들의 직무만족도는 연령이 높을수록, 음주군일수록, 직위가 높을수록, 근무경력이 길수록, 근무부서가 병동근무 군, 업무에 만족한다는 군, 업무의 요구도가 낮은 군, 업무의 자율성 및 상사의 지지도가 높은 군일수록 높았으며, 특히 직무스트레스 요인은 직무만족도와 높은 관련성이 있었다. 따라서 간호장교가 더욱 열심히 즐겁게 일할 수 있도록 내적 동기를 불러일으키는 직무만족도를 높여 주기 위해서는 직무스트레스 요인을 개선시키기 위한 노력이 필요할 것으로 생각된다.
