Abstract

This study analyzed the effect that an organization's leadership and work environment exerts on social worker's practice performance. The survey for data collection was conducted from July 4th 2019 to July 30th, 2019 among employees of social welfare facilities located in Gyeonggi province. We analyzed the data from 205 participants who had agreed on the purpose of the study. The data analysis showed that the factors for social worker's practice performance were found to be marital status, leadership (transformational leadership, transactional leadership) and work environment. On the other hand, work environment (fairness of job evaluation) was found to have a mediating effect in the relationship between leadership and practice performance. Based on the results, this study discussed the need for adequate leadership to be practiced by taking the maturity of the organization members into consideration so that social worker's professional competence in practice performance can improve. As for work environment, it is imperative to increase the fairness in job evaluation.

본 연구는 조직의 리더십과 직무환경이 사회복지사의 실천수행에 미치는 영향을 분석하였다. 자료수집은 2019년 7월 4일부터 30일까지 경기도 소재 사회복지시설 종사자를 대상으로 이루어졌으며, 연구의 목적에 동의한 205명의 자료를 수집·분석하였다. 연구결과 사회복지사의 실천수행에 영향을 미치는 요인은 결혼상태, 리더십(변혁적 리더십, 거래적 리더십), 직무환경(직무평가 공정성)으로 나타났으며, 리더십과 실천수행의 관계에서 직무환경이 매개효과를 갖는 것으로 밝혀졌다. 본 연구의 결과를 바탕으로 사회복지사의 전문직 실천수행 역량을 향상시키기 위해서는 조직구성원 성숙도에 따른 적절한 리더십 발휘와 더불어, 직무환경으로서의 직무평가에 대한 공정성을 증진시켜야 함을 논의하였다.
