As a result, work obstacles were korea and japan, there were no statistically significant differences between two groups. In the safety culture perceptions, employees of elderly welfare facility in Korea showed significantly higher level of safety culture perception than employees of that in Japan. furthermore, it is revealed in both countries that the less work obstacles they have, the higher safety culture perceptions they get.

본 연구는 한국과 일본의 노인복지시설종사자들의 업무저해요인 및 안전문화인식을 비교하기 위하여 실시한 비교서술연구이다. 연구대상은 일본 'N'시 지역 노인복지시설 근무 종사자 460명과 한국의 K도의 'A'시, 'S'시에 소재하는 노인복지시설 근무 종사자 220명으로 총 680명 이었다. 연구기간은 2018년 4월 1일부터 8월 30일까지 이었으며, 자료는 ${\chi}^2$- test, t-test, ANOVA로 분석하였다. 연구결과 업무저해요인은 한국과 일본 두 집단 간의 유의한 차이는 없는 것으로 나타났다. 안전문화 인식에서는 한국 노인복지시설 종사자들이 일본 노인복지시설 종사자들 보다 안전문화인식의 수준이 유의하게 높게 나타났다. 또한 양국 모두 업무저해요인이 적을수록 안전문화인식을 잘 하는 것으로 나타났으며, 업무저해요인이 안전문화인식에 영향을 미치는 변인으로 나타났다. 이에 본 연구결과는 안전문화인식을 높이고 업무저해요인을 감소시키기 위한 근무환경개선과 인적자원관리 전략수립의 기초자료로 활용될 수 있을 것이라고 기대된다.
