Abstract

The current study is to examine the effects of anger and work-family balance on organizational commitment. Two-hundred workers attending the Institute of Lifelong Education at a University in Seoul completed the instruments assessing anger, work-family balance, and organizational commitment. The results from structural equation modeling analysis showed that anger was negatively related to work-family balance and organizational commitment, and work-family balance was positively related to organizational commitment. Moreover, the relationship between anger and organizational commitment was partially mediated by work-family balance. These findings suggest that a way to focus on both anger and work-family balance than only anger is more productive in order to boost organizational commitment.

본 연구는 국내 직장인을 대상으로 분노와 일-가정양립, 조직몰입의 관계를 확인함으로써, 조직몰입을 증진할 수 있는 방안을 실증적으로 제안하고자 하였다. 이를 위해 서울에 거주하는 직장인 200명을 대상으로 분노, 일-가정양립, 조직 몰입을 측정하는 질문지를 실시하였다. 구조방정식 모형분석을 실시한 결과, 직장인의 분노는 일-가정양립과 조직몰입에 부정적인 영향을 미쳤고, 일-가정양립은 조직몰입에 긍정적인 영향을 끼쳤는데, 분노와 조직몰입의 부적 관계는 일-가정양립에 의해 부분 매개되는 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구의 결과는 대부분의 직장인들이 가정을 가지고 있다는 점을 고려할 때, 매우 중요한 의미를 제공한다고 볼 수 있다. 즉 대부분의 직장인들에게 적용할 수 있는 효율적인 조직몰입 증진방안을 제안했다는 점에서 본 연구의 의의가 있다. 실무현장에서는 분노에만 초점을 두는 것보다 일-가정양립 기술을 제공함으로써 직장인들의 조직몰입의 향상을 기대할 수 있을 것이다.
