Abstract

This study investigates the effects of family-friendly corporate policies on employees' job satisfaction, quality of life, organizational commitment, and turnover intention. Data was collected using a self-administered questionnaire from medium sized manufacturing company during the summer of 2017 and received 295 useful responses. The data was analyzed using the multiple and simple regressions. The results showed that the effects of family-friendly corporate policies were significantly positive from the employee's perspective. The employees' awareness of the family-friendly policy was positively correlated with their job satisfaction, quality of life, and organizational commitment, but it was negatively associated with turnover intention. It should be noted that the boss' support at work showed the insignificant effect on the family friendly policy awareness and this result was very different from the previous study. The study concludes that companies as well as employees benefit from family-friendly policies. The study that in order to create a family-friendly corporate culture, the company should not only introduce the policy to employees but also provide the support and atmosphere for the employees to utilize the family-friendly policy easily, and to establish a companywide support policy, organizational practitioners should find the way family-friendly policies to be rooted in the organization.

본 연구는 제조기업에 재직중인 근로자를 대상으로 가족친화적 기업문화가 직원의 가족친화제도 인지도와 행동에 어떠한 영향을 미치는지를 조사하였다. 연구 결과 가족친화적 기업문화가 기업의 경쟁력 강화 뿐만 아니라 근로자의 행복에 영향을 끼쳐 근로자와 기업이 서로 상생할 수 있다는 것이 증명되었다. 본 연구는 자기기입식 설문조사방법을 통해 진행하였으며 배포된 설문지 중 295부가 최종 유효한 응답지로 선택되었다. 그리고 다중회귀분석을 통해 기업문화, 근무시간, 직장상사의 지원과 가족친화제도 인지도와의 관계를 도출, 가족친화제도의 인지도가 직장만족도 및 삶의 질, 이직의사, 조직몰입에 어떠한 영향을 주는지 검증하였다. 검증 결과 첫째, 기업문화가 직원의 가족친화인지도에 유의미한 긍정적인 영향을 주었다. 둘째, 근무시간이 가족친화인제도에 미치는 영향도 유의미한 긍정적인 영향을 주었다. 셋째, 직장 상사의 지원이 가족친화인지도에는 무의미한 영향을 주었는데 이는 직장상사의 지원은 근로자에게 일-가족 갈등을 줄여주고, 조직몰입, 이직의사에 유의미한 영향을 주는 것으로 나타났던 선행연구와는 다른 결과가 도출되었다. 넷째, 가족친화제도인지도는 근로자의 직장만족도 및 삶의 질에 긍정적인 영향을 주었다. 다섯째, 가족친화제도 인지도는 근로자의 조직몰입에 긍정적인 영향을 주었다. 여섯째, 가족친화제도인지도는 근로자의 이직의도에 부정적인 영향을 주었다. 연구 결과에서 살펴본 바와 같이 가족친화적 기업문화는 기업과 근로자에게 있어 긍정적인 효과를 미침에 따라 기업에서는 가족친화제도가 있음을 적극 알리고 제도를 활용하고자 하는 직원에게 적극 권장 및 지원할 필요가 있다. 또한 가족친화제도를 받아들이는 문화로 자리 잡을 수 있도록 중간관리자급을 중심으로 한 인식전환교육과 기업문화로의 정착을 위한 전사적인 노력이 필요하다.
