Abstract

In this study, 15 teacher librarians working in the high school library were interviewed in order to understand the factors and situation of teacher librarian's job burnout. The results showed that job environment, teacher librarian's role and identity, school community members' lack of awareness of school library and teacher librarians were found to be influential factors in job burnout. In order to solve this problem, it is necessary to develop proper compensation system, to divide librarians and teacher librarians into clear jobs, to provide opportunities for the other teachers to extend their understanding of teacher librarians, and to provide opportunities for self development and recharging.

본 연구는 사서교사에게 직무소진이 발생하는 요인 및 상황을 파악하기 위한 연구이다. 이를 위하여 고등학교 도서관에서 근무하고 있는 15명의 사서교사를 대상으로 심층 인터뷰를 실시하였다. 본 연구의 결과, 사서교사의 직무환경, 사서교사의 역할 및 정체성의 문제, 학교공동체 구성원들의 학교도서관 및 사서교사에 대한 인식 등이 직무소진의 영향 요인으로 밝혀졌으며, 이를 해결하기 위한 방안으로는 사서교사들에 대한 적절한 보상 체계의 마련, 사서와 사서교사간의 명확한 직무 구분, 학교공동체 구성원들의 사서교사에 대한 인식 전환을 위한 계기 및 제도적 장치의 마련, 사서교사의 자기계발 및 재충전의 기회 제공 등이 필요함을 제시하였다.
