Abstract

This study was aimed at identifying the actual state of workplace violence based on a survey conducted to 876 subway workers in Seoul and determining the relationship between workplace violence and mental health of workers. Data were collected via web site, using a structured questionnaire and for the analysis of the data, a multiple linear regression analysis was carried out by the statistical program SPSS 20.0. According to the results, the perpetrators of violence turned out to be "passengers" in all types of workplace violence: physical violence, verbal violence, sexual harassment and disregard for personality. As for the relationship between workplace violence and the mental health of the workers, statistically significant differences were shown between all the above mentioned workplace violence types and sub-areas of mental health. Also, as for the impact of workplace violence on the mental health of the workers, significant differences were found in physical violence, sexual harassment and disregard for personality, with 8.3 percent of explanatory power. Based on these findings, the study suggests the establishment and the application of customer interaction guidelines to protect subway workers from workplace violence along with specific measures customized for each work environment to prevent violence.

본 연구는 서울시 소재 지하철 근로자 876명을 대상으로 직장 내 폭력경험 실태를 파악하고, 직장 내 폭력과 정신건강과의 관련성을 파악하고자 실시하였다. 자료수집은 구조화된 설문지로 웹 사이트에서 하였고, 자료분석은 SPSS 20.0 통계프로그램을 이용하여 다중선형회귀분석을 실시하였다. 연구결과, 직장 내 폭력경험 실태에서 신체적 폭력, 언어적 폭력, 성희롱 및 인격무시 모두에서 폭력의 주체가 '고객'으로 나타났다. 직장 내 폭력과 정신건강과의 관련성에서는 직장 내 폭력유형인 신체적 폭력, 언어적 폭력, 성희롱 및 인격무시 모두에서 정신건강의 하위영역과 통계적으로 유의한 차이가 있었다. 직장 내 폭력이 정신건강에 미치는 영향에서는 신체적 폭력, 성희롱 및 인격무시에서 유의한 차이가 있는 것으로 나타났으며, 설명력은 8.3%이었다. 본 연구는 지하철 근로자를 대상으로 직장 내폭력 경험 실태를 파악한 것과 정신건강에 미치는 영향을 통계분석을 통하여 이들 간의 관계를 분석하였다는데 의의가 있다. 향후 지하철 근로자의 직장 내 폭력을 예방할 수 있는 고객응대 가이드라인 마련과 근무환경에 맞는 구체적인 폭력예방대책을 마련하여 적용할 것을 제안한다.
