Abstract

There is growing attention towards the performance of non-profit organizations (NPO) as cases of moral hazard have emerged as social issues and the public becomes interested in the accountability of NPOs. Social welfare is among the representative service areas of NPOs, and it is regarded as a human service because it is delivered by people. Therefore, human capital-measured by criteria such as levels of organizational commitment-significantly affects the performance of social welfare organizations. However, these organizations have a high turnover rate due to inadequate working environments, heavy workloads, intensive work, and poor remuneration. Against this background, we surveyed social welfare organizations located in Busan and examined how workers' organizational commitment affects their turnover intention and the performance of the organization. For data analysis, SPSS WIN 18.0 was used, and variable-specific frequency analysis and technical statistics were used to identify general properties. A Pearson correlation analysis and a multiple regression analysis were conducted to investigate correlations and causal relationships among main variables. The results showed that the social workers' level of organizational commitment was 3.36 for normative commitment, 3.07 for continuance commitment, and 2.75 for affective commitment. The level of normative commitment was slightly higher than moderate, continuance commitment was close to moderate, and affective commitment was lower than moderate. The surveyed social workers' turnover intention was 2.71, and organizational performance was 2.79; both of those results were slightly lower than moderate. It was observed that affective commitment, marital status, workload, and age affected social workers' turnover intention. Their affective commitment, gender, and age affected the organization's performance. These results suggest that, for launching or operating an NPO, it is important to manage human capital effectively, particularly their affective commitment, to lower workers' turnover intention and improve organizational performance.

비영리조직의 도덕적 해이성에 대한 사회적 문제의 표출과 더불어 서비스 책무성에 대한 사회적 관심의 증가에 따라 비영리조직의 사업성과에 대한 관심이 증가되고 있다. 비영리의 대표적인 영역으로 사회복지를 제시할 수 있으며, 사회복지조직은 사람을 매개로하여 제공되는 휴먼서비스의 특징을 지닌다. 따라서 사회복지조직의 사업성과에 인적자원, 즉 사회복지사의 조직몰입과 같은 요소가 미치는 영향은 크다고 할 수 있다. 그러나 사회복지조직은 부적합한 업무환경과 과다한 업무부담 및 노동강도 그리고 낮은 처우 등으로 인하여 매우 높은 이직률을 나타내고 있다. 이에 본 연구는 부산지역 복지조직의 사회복지사를 대상으로 조직몰입이 이직의도와 사업성과에 미치는 영향을 확인하고자 한다. 자료분석을 위하여 SPSS WIN 18.0을 이용하였으며, 각 변인별 빈도분석 및 기술통계를 통하여 일반적 특성을 파악하고, 주요 변인의 상관관계와 인과관계를 알아보기 위하여 Pearson 상관관계분석 및 다중회귀분석을 실시하였다. 연구결과 사회복지사의 조직몰입은 규범적 몰입 3.36, 지속적 몰입 3.07, 정서적 몰입 2.75순으로 나타났다. 규범적 몰입은 보통보다 조금 높게, 지속적 몰입은 보통, 정서적 몰입은 보통보다 낮은 것으로 나타났다. 사회복지사의 이직의도는 2.71, 사업성과의 경우 2.79로 나타나, 이직의도와 사업성과는 모두 보통보다 조금 낮은 것으로 나타났다. 사회복지사의 이직은 정서적 몰입, 혼인상태, 업무량, 연령 등이 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 또한 사회복지조직의 사업성과에 정서적 몰입, 성별, 연령 등이 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 따라서 비영리조직의 경영이나 창업에 있어, 인적자원의 요소 특히, 조직몰입 중 정서적 몰입을 체계적으로 관리함으로써, 이직의도를 감소시키고 사업성과를 향상해야 할 것이다.
