Abstract

The objective of this study is to examine the influence of social support and ego-resilience on the burnout of infant teachers. 200 teachers from a children's day care center located in Jeju Island were selected as the subjects, with whom a survey was conducted using the criteria of social support, ego-resilience, and burnout. The data was analyzed by correlation and hierarchical analysis using the SPSS 18.0 program. The results were as follows. Firstly, the teachers' exhaustion level was low, whereas their ego-resilience level was high. Secondly, the higher their social support and ego-resilience were, the lower their exhaustion level became. Finally, in the review of the influence of social support and ego-resilience on exhaustion, ego-resilience explained more than social support. This finding suggests that teachers' ego-resilience and social support are the key factors affecting burnout. To reduce burnout, the development of educational programs to enhance the teachers' ego-resilience and social support is strongly recommended.

본 연구는 영아교사의 자아탄력성과 사회적 지지가 소진에 미치는 영향력을 알아보는 것을 목적으로 수행되었다. 연구대상은 제주시에 위치한 어린이집에 근무하는 영아교사 200명이었으며 자아탄력성, 사회적 지지와 소진 척도를 사용하여 설문조사를 실시하였다. 자료분석은 SPSS 18.0 프로그램을 이용하여 기술통계, Pearson의 적률상관계수 및 위계적 회귀분석을 실시하였다. 연구결과 첫째, 영아교사의 소진은 낮았으며 자아탄력성은 높은 것으로 나타났다. 둘째, 영아교사의 자아탄력성이 높을수록, 사회적 지지가 높을수록 소진 수준이 낮은 것으로 나타났다. 셋째, 영아교사의 소진에 대한 자아탄력성과 사회적 지지의 영향력을 살펴본 결과, 사회적 지지보다는 자아탄력성이 더 많은 설명력을 갖는 것으로 나타났다. 이상의 논의를 통해 본 연구에서는 영아교사의 소진과 관련하여 영아교사 자신의 자아탄력성과 사회적 지지가 중요한 영향을 미친다는 것을 확인하였으며, 이를 통해 영아교사의 소진을 감소시키는데 필요한 자아탄력성과 사회적 지지 증진 방안을 모색하는 교사교육 프로그램 개발의 필요성을 시사하였다.
