Abstract

This study was conducted on daily news reporters working in Seoul to determine the factors/characteristics causing job stress and potential countermeasures. The survey was conducted by interviewing 170 daily news reporters who took part in the study from March 3rd to March 7th 2013. The analysis of the information was performed by frequency analysis, T-test and One-way ANOVA, correlation analysis etc. using the SPSS Win 21.0 program and the empirical analysis was verified at the 5% level of significance. First, the following results of the analysis were meaningful because current journalists and reporters showed reduced levels of stress when their job satisfaction was high. Secondary, smoking and art activity to alleviate their job stress were found to be strong stress countermeasures. Third, there were significant differences in those who had high levels of job stress and exhibited stronger ways of coping with it. This study affirms an alternative in basic policy, which can provide a working environment that helps journalists to perform their work proficiently and steadily.

본 연구는 서울지역에 본사를 둔 일간지 취재 기자들을 대상으로 업무를 수행하면서 겪고 있는 직무 스트레스와 대처방식 척도에 관한 요인을 파악하고자 한다. 연구대상자는 일간지 취재기자 170명에 대해 2013년 3월 1일부터 7월 30일까지 대인면접 설문조사를 실시하였다. 자료 분석은 SPSS Win 21.0 프로그램을 사용하여 빈도분석, T-test와 일원 변량분석, 상관관계분석을 하였고, 실증분석은 유의수준 5%에서 검증하였다. 연구 분석결과 첫째, 직업에 대한 만족도가 높으면 직무 스트레스는 낮아 유의한 것으로 나타났다. 둘째, 흡연을 많이 하는 경우와 스트레스 해소방법이 '예술 활동'인 경우 스트레스 대처방법이 높아 유의하게 나타났다. 셋째, 직무 스트레스가 높으면 대처방식도 높아 유의한 차이로 나타났다. 본 연구의 시사점으로 언론인들의 원활한 업무수행이 가능할 수 있는 근무환경을 제공하기 위한 기초적인 정책 자료가 될 것으로 사료 된다.
