Abstract

Today, individuals' psychological attitude toward health has been changed from passive to active and dynamic way of thinking. This trend has made attention to wellness more interesting. However, prior studies regarding wellness have been limited in developing indices to measure status of individuals' wellness. Thus, this study adopts five major components of wellness, including physical, emotional, intellectual, social, and occupational wellness in order to examine their effects on individuals' wellness state. The data from 494 employee at various organizations were analyzed to test proposed hypotheses. The results reveal that five components of wellness have a significant influence on wellness status. Based on the findings, academic and practical implications for wellness convergence systems are discussed.

현대사회에서 개인들은 건강에 대한 내적 생각을 수동적 형태에서 역동적, 적극적 상태로 생각의 전황을 이루고 있다. 이에 웰니스(wellness)에 대한 관심이 매우 높아지고 있다. 하지만 웰니스에 대한 연구는 개인의 웰니스 상태를 측정하는 지수(index)개발 정도로 한정되어 왔다. 이에 본 연구에서는 웰니스의 주요 구성요소인 신체적, 정서적, 인지적, 사회적, 직업적 웰니스가 직장인들의 웰니스 상태에 어떤 영향을 미치는지 실증적으로 검증하였다. 총 494명으로부터 수집된 자료로 Partial Least Square(PLS) 접근방법을 사용하여 분석하였다. 연구결과 총 5가지 웰니스 구성요소 모두 웰니스 상태에 중요한 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 이러한 연구결과를 바탕으로 웰니스 융복합 시스템을 개발하는데 필요한 이론적, 실무적 시사점을 제시하였다.
