Abstract

The purpose of this study is to investigate how the emotional labor and emotional intelligence of nurses working at a general hospital affect their job stress, and how the integration factor of emotional labor and emotional intelligence affects their job stress. The subjects of research were the nurses working at general hospital in Seoul city from March 11-29, 2013. The collected data was analyzed after computerized statistical processing using SPSS 18.0 and AMOS 18.0. It was found that the frequency of emotional expressions, one of emotional labor variables, significantly negatively influenced job stress(${\beta}=-.301$, p<.01), and that the attention required for the norms of emotional expressions significantly positively affected job stress(${\beta}=.277$, p<.01). Among emotional intelligence variables, understanding of self-emotion and control of emotion were found to significantly negatively affected job stress. Given the study result, in order to alleviate nurses' job stress, it is necessary to have positive emotional expressions with patients, come up with a plan to show nurses' emotions which they fail to express because of the norms of emotional expressions in hospital, and make their effort to improve understanding of their own emotions and the capability of controlling emotions.

본 연구의 목적은 일개 종합병원에 근무하는 간호사를 대상으로 감정노동과 감성지능이 각각 직무스트레스에 미치는 영향, 감정노동과 감성지능이 통합요인으로 합쳐졌을 때 직무스트레스에 미치는 영향을 알아보고자 하였다. 설문조사는 서울 소재 K 종합병원 간호사를 대상으로 2013년 3월 11일부터 3월 29일까지 이루어졌다. 수집된 자료는 SPSS 18.0과 AMOS 18.0을 사용하여 전산 통계 처리하여 분석하였다. 감정 노동 변인 중 감정표현의 빈도는 직무스트레스에 유의미한 부(-)적 영향(${\beta}=-.215$, p<.05)을, 감정표현 규범의 주의성은 유의미한 정(+)적(${\beta}=.263$, p<.01) 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났으며, 감성지능 변인 중 자기감정이해와 감정조절변인이 직무스트레스에 유의미한 부(-)적 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구 결과를 통해, 간호사들이 직무스트레스를 낮추기 위해서는 환자들과 긍정적인 감정표현을 많이 하고, 간호사들이 병원의 감정표현 규범으로 인해 표현하지 못한 감정을 해소할 수 있는 방안이 필요하며, 자신의 감정에 대한 이해와 감성조절능력을 기르도록 스스로 노력이 필요함을 알 수 있었다. 이에 따라 간호사들의 직무스트레스를 효율적으로 관리할 수 있는 역량강화프로그램의 개발과 제공이 요구된다.
