Abstract

This study aimed to identify influencing factors such as job environment, job characteristics, and job competency as they are related to newcomer turnover intentions in the construction of landscape architecture, Korea. The results based on statistical analyses are follows as: The turnover experience of newcomers in the field of landscape architecture construction was 54.5%, about 1.6 times higher than in other fields. The influencing factors among newcomer turnover intentions in the construction of landscape architecture were workload(p<0.01), job suitability, and personal relations(p<0.01), while in job autonomy, work conditions, job competency, job identity, job variety, and job compensation were not statistically significant. This study found that key important factors of dependent variables that conceptually explain the influence of turnover intentions among newcomers differed between the construction of landscape architecture and other fields. The most important factors in turnover intention were workload>personal relationship>job suitability among independent factors. This study implied that efforts for improvement are needed in areas of workload, personal relations, and job suitability to mitigate newcomer turnover intentions so as to establish common and personal goals in the field of landscape architecture construction because turnover intention could lead losses in human resources, time, economy, and psychological health. In conclusion, this study suggested the importance of efforts for human resource management to reduce turnover intentions among newcomers in the field of landscape architecture construction.

본 연구는 조경시공분야 신입사원들의 직무환경, 직무특성, 직무역량이 이직에 미치는 영향을 개념적으로 파악하기 위하여 연구가설과 연구모형을 개발하여 설문에 의한 실증 분석하였다. 조경시공분야 신입사원들은 입사 3년 이내에 이직경험이 54.5%로 우리나라의 다른 분야 대졸신입사원들보다 1.6배 정도 더 높았다. 조경시공분야 신입사원들의 이직의도에 크게 영향을 미치는 것은 사회통계학적으로 직무량(p<0.01), 직무적합성(p<0.1), 대인관계(p<0.1)에 유의하였고, 나머지 직무자율성, 직무여건, 직무역량, 직무정체성, 직무다양성, 직무보상은 통계학적으로 유의하지 않았다. 조경시공분야 신입사원들의 이직의도에 크게 영향을 미치는 요인은 직무량>대인관계>직무적합성 순으로 나타났다. 본 연구를 통하여 조경시공분야 신입사원들의 이직의도가 매우 높게 나타나서 인적자원관리가 필요함을 시사하였다.
