Abstract

This study attempted to determine differences between the perceived empowerment level and job satisfaction depending on hairdressers' demographic characteristics and analyze the effects of their empowerment on job satisfaction. For this, a total of 310 hairdressers in Gwangju-Jeonnam and Seoul-Gyeonggi-do were chosen through convenience sampling, and then a questionnaire survey was conducted. The valid 277 copies were used for final analysis. For data analysis, descriptive statistics, factor analysis, reliability analysis, t-test, ANOVA, Duncan's test, and multiple regression analysis were conducted using SPSS 15.0. The study results found the following: First, in terms of the subordinate factors of empowerment, the following four factors were found: meaningfulness, self-determination, competence, and impact. Second, depending on demographic characteristics (e.g., age, career, type of beauty salon, job title, punch-in time, monthly pay), a statistically significant difference was found between empowerment and job satisfaction (p<.01). Third, hairdressers' perceived empowerment level had a positive impact on job satisfaction (p<.01). In terms of the empowerment on job satisfaction by sub-factor, 'self-determination' was largest, followed by 'meaningfulness' and 'competence.' Therefore, beauty salon owners need to manage their business more efficiently by converging cosmetology and business management by expanding empowerment among hairdressers properly after recognizing the importance of hairdresser empowerment.

헤어 미용사의 인구통계적 특성에 따라 지각하는 임파워먼트 수준과 직무만족의 차이를 알아보고, 헤어 미용사들의 임파워먼트가 직무만족에 미치는 영향을 알아보았다. 편의표본으로 광주 전남, 서울 경기도의 310명 헤어 미용사를 대상으로 설문을 실시하고 유효한 277부를 분석자료로 사용하였다. SPSS 15.0 통계프로그램을 이용하여 기술통계, 요인분석, 신뢰성분석, t-검정, ANOVA, Duncan 검정, 다중회귀분석을 실시하여 다음과 같은 결과를 얻었다. 첫째, 임파워먼트의 하위 요인은 의미성, 자기결정성, 유능성, 영향력의 4가지로 나타났다. 둘째, 인구통계적 특성(연령, 경력, 미용실의 형태, 직급, 출근시간, 월급)에 따라 임파워먼트와 직무만족은 통계적으로 유의한 차이를 나타내었다(p<.01). 셋째, 헤어 미용사의 지각된 임파워먼트 수준은 직무만족에 통계적으로 유의한 정(+)의 영향을 미쳤다(p<.01). 직무만족에 영향을 미치는 임파워먼트의 하위요인은 자기결정성, 의미성, 유능성의 순으로 나타났다. 미용실 경영자들은 헤어 미용사들의 임파워먼트 중요성을 인식하여 미용실 특성에 맞게 헤어 미용사들에게 임파워먼트를 확대함으로써 미용과 경영을 융복합하여 효율적인 미용실 경영이 이루어지도록 해야 할 것이다.
