Abstract

The goal of this study was to examine the relation of perceiving a calling and life satisfaction, and to verify the mediating effects of living a calling and flow in the process of perceiving a calling influencing according to the level of life satisfaction, as well as the moderating effect of self-efficacy in a pool of adult professionals. The study data were collected from a survey conducted from June to July, 2016, on 185 people working in Seoul and the metropolitan area. The following are the study hypotheses. First, perceiving a calling will influence life satisfaction. Second, living a calling will mediate the relationship between perceiving a calling and life satisfaction. Third, flow will mediate the relationship between living a calling and life satisfaction. Fourth, self-efficacy will moderate the relationship between living a calling and flow. In accordance with previous research, a structural equation model(SEM) was used to examine the hypotheses. As a result, the first research model was selected and the hypotheses were supported. With the results of this study as the foundation, this research paper proposed directions for future study.

본 연구는 성인 직장인의 소명의식이 삶의 만족에 미치는 영향과 그 과정에서의 실천적 경험요인인 소명수행의식과 몰입의 매개효과와 자기신념과 관련된 자기효능감의 조절효과에 대하여 알아보고자 하였다. 이를 위하여 서울 및 수도권에 거주하며 서울 소재 직장에 다니는 성인 185명을 대상으로 소명의식, 삶의 만족, 소명수행의식, 몰입과 자기효능감 척도를 사용하여 2016년 6월부터 7월까지 60일간 자료를 수집하였다. 본 연구의 가설은 다음과 같다. 첫째, 성인 직장인의 소명의식은 삶의 만족에 영향을 미칠 것이다. 둘째, 소명의식과 삶의 만족 간의 관계에서 소명수행의식이 매개효과를 나타낼 것이다. 셋째, 몰입은 소명수행의식과 삶의 만족 간의 관계에서 매개효과를 나타낼 것이다. 넷째, 자기효능감은 소명수행의식과 몰입 간의 관계에서 조절효과를 나타낼 것이다. 본 연구의 가설을 검증하기 위하여 선행 연구 결과들을 바탕으로 연구모형과 경쟁모형 2개를 설정한 후, SPSS 20.0과 AMOS 20.0 통계 프로그램를 이용하여 수집된 데이터에 대한 구조방정식(SEM) 분석을 실시하였다. 검증 결과, 연구모형이 최종모형으로 선택됨으로써 본 연구의 가설은 모두 지지되었다. 연구 결과를 바탕으로 성인 직장인의 소명수행의식과 몰입 등의 실천적 행위에 대한 중요성과 삶의 만족에 영향을 미치는 심리적 요인에 대하여 논의하였다.
