Abstract

The purpose of this study is to analyze the factors of Elderly Social Activity (Employment) Programs participatory intention of middle and old aged and to figure out the undertone of research results. To achieve this aims, we conducted a literature survey on Elderly Social Activity Programs and local informatization, and then designed a questionnaire including the demographic information and the five variables, i.e., satisfaction on local informatization, satisfaction on health condition, satisfaction on economic condition, satisfaction on human relationship, and participatory intention of Elderly Social Activity (Employment) Programs. The data were collected through online and offline survey targeted those aged over 50 and participated in information literacy program in Korea. A total of 333 valid data were analyzed using SPSS and AMOS statistical packages. The results can be summarized as follows: satisfaction on local informatization and satisfaction on health condition have a statistically significant effect on Elderly Social Activity (Employment) Programs participatory intention. In the comparative analysis of two groups between economic active group and economic inactive group, only health has a statistically significant effect on their participatory intention in economic active group, not only health but also local informatization has a statistically significant effect on the their participatory intention in economic inactive group. Therefore, local informatization is an essential prerequisite and local informatization should be improved for the middle aged and elderlies who have willingness to participate in Elderly Social Activity (Employment) Programs.

본 연구의 목적은 장 노년층의 노인 사회활동 지원사업 참여의지에 영향을 미치는 요인을 분석하고 연구 결과에 대한 함축적 의미를 파악하고자 함이다. 이를 위해 먼저, 국내외 노인 사회활동 지원사업과 지역정보화에 대한 선행연구를 한 다음, 장 노년층의 노인 사회활동 지원사업 참여의지에 영향을 미치는 요인을 지역정보화 만족도, 건강 만족도, 경제 만족도, 및 인적관계 만족도로 구성된 설문항목을 설정하였다. 데이터 수집을 위해 정보화교육에 참가한 경험이 있는 전국의 장 노년층을 대상으로 방문설문을 하거나 온라인 설문을 실시하였다. 333개의 유효표본을 통해 분석한 결과, 지역정보화 만족도와 건강 만족도가 노인 사회활동 지원사업 참여의지에 통계적으로 유의한 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 특히 경제활동을 조절변수로 하여 경제활동을 하고 있는 집단과 경제활동을 하고 있지 않은 집단으로 나누어 분석한 결과, 경제활동을 하고 있는 집단에서는 건강만 허락한다면 지속적 참여의지가 있는 것으로 나타났고, 경제활동을 하고 있지 않은 집단에서는 건강 만족도뿐 만 아니라 지역정보화 만족도까지 중요한 영향요인으로 나타났다. 따라서 지역경제활동 활성화를 위한 지역혁신과 노인 사회활동 지원사업에 참여의지가 있는 장 노년층을 위하여 지역정보화가 선행되어야 하고 또한 지역정보화 만족도를 향상시켜야 할 것이다.
