Abstract

This study was conducted to clarify the mediating effects of self-efficacy and organizational commitment on the level of depression associated with emotional labor and occupational stress of call center representatives. The survey subjects were 486 representatives working in four call centers in D city. Data collection was conducted using structured, self-addressed questionnaires from January 5th to 25th, 2017. The results showed that the depression level of the representatives was significantly higher in the emotional labor and occupational stress groups and higher in the low self-efficacy and organizational commitment groups. The correlations between variables revealed a positive correlation between depression, emotional labor, and occupational stress, but a negative correlation between self-efficacy and organizational commitment. Path model analysis revealed that emotional labor and occupational stress had positive effects on depression, while self-efficacy and organizational commitment was negatively influenced. In addition, self-efficacy and organizational commitment had a mediating effect on emotional labor and depression, while organizational commitment had a mediating effect on occupational stress and depression. Therefore, to reduce the depression level of call center representatives, it is necessary to reduce the emotional labor and occupational stress factors, as well as to have a mental health mediation plan to increase self-efficacy and organizational commitment.

본 연구는 콜센터 상담원의 감정노동과 직무스트레스가 우울수준에 미치는 영향관계에서 자기효능감 및 조직몰입의 매개효과를 경로분석을 통해 규명하고자 실시하였다. 조사대상은 D도시 4개의 콜센터에서 종사하고 있는 상담원 486명으로 하였다. 자료 수집은 2017년 1월 5일부터 1월 25일까지의 기간 동안에 구조화된 무기명 자기기입식 설문지를 사용하여 설문조사하였다. 연구결과, 조사대상 상담원의 우울수준은 감정노동과 직무스트레스가 높은 군에서 유의하게 높게 나타났고, 자기효능감과 조직몰입이 낮은 군에서 유의하게 높게 나타났다. 변수 간의 상관관계는 우울수준과 감정노동, 직무스트레스는 양의 상관관계를 보인 반면, 자기효능감과 조직몰입과는 음의 상관관계를 보였다. 경로모형 분석결과, 우울수준에 감정노동과 직무스트레스는 긍정적인 영향을 주었고, 자기효능감과 조직몰입은 부정적인 영향을 주었다. 또한 자기효능감과 조직몰입은 감정노동과 우울수준을 낮추는 매개효과가 있었고, 조직몰입은 직무스트레스와 우울수준을 낮추는 매개효과가 있었다. 따라서 콜센터 상담원의 우울수준을 낮추기 위해서는 감정노동과 직무스트레스 요인을 낮추고, 자기효능감과 조직몰입을 높이기 위한 정신건강 중재안이 필요할 것으로 생각된다.
