Abstract

The purpose of this study is to verify the effect of the multicultural competence of the daycare center directors on their organizational effectiveness. A total of 359 child-care center directors studying at C university in Seoul were randomly selected and interviewed. The study results were as follows: a) with respect to job-satisfaction, multicultural skill had a positive influence, multicultural knowledge had a negative influence, and multicultural perception and attitude had no significant influence on job satisfaction; b) with respect to organizational adaptation, multicultural perception and attitude and multicultural skill had positive influences, but multicultural knowledge found to have a negative influence; c) with respective to organizational commitment, multicultural perception and attitude and multicultural skill had positive influences, but multicultural knowledge had no significant influence. The results implicate the fact that there need to be more practical programs for child-care center directors in which they can facilitate their multicultural perceptions, attitudes and develop practical skills.

본 연구의 목적은 보육시설장의 다문화역량과 조직효과성의 관계와 다문화 역량이 조직효과성에 미치는 영향을 검증하는 데 있다. 연구의 목적을 달성하기 위하여 서울 C대학교에 재학 중인 보육시설장 359명을 무작위 표집하여 연구 분석을 실시하였다. 연구의 결과는 다음과 같다. 첫째, 다문화역량이 직무만족에 미치는 영향을 분석한 결과, 다문화역량의 하위영역인 다문화기술은 직무만족에 정적인 영향을, 다문화지식은 부적 영향을, 다문화 인식 및 태도는 직무만족에 영향을 미치지 않는 것으로 나타났다. 둘째, 다문화역량이 조직적응에 미치는 영향력을 알아본 결과, 다문화인식 및 태도, 다문화기술은 정적 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났으나 다문화지식은 부적 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 셋째, 다문화역량이 조직몰입에 미치는 영향력을 알아본 결과, 다문화인식 및 태도, 다문화기술은 정적 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났으나 다문화지식은 통계적으로 유의한 영향을 미치지 않은 것으로 나타났다. 따라서 향후 보육시설장을 대상으로 한 교육 및 연수 프로그램 개발 시, 다문화 지식을 전달하는 데 국한된 프로그램보다는 다문화 인식과 태도를 함양하고 이를 실제적으로 실천에 옮길 수 있는 다문화 기술에 대한 프로그램을 개발하고 수행하는 것이 필요할 것으로 사료된다.
