Mediating Effects of Self Leadership on the Relationship between Childcare Teachers' Support and Beginning Early Childhood Teachers' Role Performance

본 연구는 초임유아교사의 역할수행, 셀프리더십, 보육교직원의 지지 간의 관계를 규명하기 위해 실시되었다. 전국의 유치원 및 어린이집에 재직 중인 491명의 초임교사를 대상으로 설문지를 통한 조사를 실시하였는데, 사회적 지지 질문지(이재영, 2012), 역할수행 질문지(박복매, 2011)와 셀프리더십 질문지(박동현, 2014)를 사용하였다. 결과처리를 위해 빈도분석, 신뢰도 검증, ANOVA 검증, $Scheff{\acute{e}}$의 사후검증분석, Pearson의 적률상관분석, 회귀분석을 실시하였다. 연구결과 첫째, 초임유아교사의 보수와 학력, 연령에 따른 보육교직원의 지지, 역할수행, 셀프리더십은 각각 집단 간 유의차가 있었다. 기관유형에 따른 보육교직원의 지지와 역할수행은 집단 간 유의차가 있었으나 셀프리더십에서는 집단 간 유의차가 없었다. 둘째, 셀프리더십이 보육교직원의 지지와 초임유아교사의 역할수행 간에 부분 매개역할을 하고 있었다. 본 연구결과를 통해 초임유아교사의 개인변인을 고려하여 역할수행과 셀프리더십을 높일 수 있는 방안과 원장이나 동료교사의 실질적인 지원을 촉진할 수 있는 방안을 모색하는데 정보를 제공할 수 있다.

The purpose of this study was to identify the relationship among beginning early childhood teachers' role performance and self leadership, and childcare teachers's supports. The subjects in this study were 491 beginning early childhood teachers working in kindergartens and child care centers across the country. Childcare teachers' support questionnaire(Jae-Young Lee, 2012) role performance questionnaire(Bog-Mae Park, 2011), and self-leadership questionnaire(Dong-Hyen Park,2014) were used for this study. For the research analysis, frequency, Cronbach's ${\alpha}$ coefficient, ANOVA test, $Scheff{\acute{e}}$ post-hoc analysis and Pearson's correlation were calculated and regression analysis were conducted. The results are as follows. Firstly, it was revealed that there are statistically meaningful differences in beginning early childhood teachers 'role performance and self leadership, and childcare teachers's support which were related to early childhood teachers' salary, education background, and age. Also, there are statistically meaningful differences in beginning early childhood teachers' role performance and childcare teachers's support, which were related to type of child-care center role performance, but there were no differences in beginning early childhood teachers' self leadership. Secondly, childcare teachers's support have statistically meaningful positive influences on beginning early childhood teachers' role performance through the mediation of self leadership. Through this study, it is possible to provide basic information to seek ways to enhance beginning early childhood teachers' role performance and self leadership under the considerations of their individual background characteristics, and to promote the practical support for the director or colleagues.
