Abstract

The purpose of this study is to investigate the effects of work environmental factors and self-compassion on the burnout of school counselors. The subjects of this study were 312 school counselors under the D District Office of Education participated. In order to examine the effects of individual, organizational, and self-compassion factors on burnout, correlation and hierarchical regression were applied. Individual factors were gender, age, health status, and personal hobbies. Organizational factors were employment type, working hours, and job satisfaction. Self-compassion and burnout were measured using the Korean version of self-compassion and Baslach burnout instruments. The correlation analysis showed that the three factors are correlated with each other. In the hierarchical regression analysis, three models were developed as personal, organizational, and self-compassion factors. The results of regression analysis are as follows. The influence of self-compassion on burnout was stronger than the organizational factor (i.e., employment type, working time, job satisfaction) and the personal factor (i.e., age, health status, hobby). There were no significant differences between genders. This study results suggest that self-compassion can reduce a level of burnout significantly, although personal and organizational factors have a significant impact on burnout. Further study and suggestions for reducing the level of burnout of school counselors were discussed.

본 연구의 목적은 학교 상담자를 대상으로 상담과 관련된 업무환경 요인과 상담자의 자기자비가 소진에 미치는 영향을 알아보는 것이다. 연구대상은 D광역시 교육청 산하 상담부서에서 근무하는 상담자 312명이며, 개인과 조직관련 및 자기자비 요인이 소진에 미치는 영향을 알아보기 위해 상관분석 및 위계적 회귀분석을 실시하였다. 개인관련 요인은 성별, 연령, 건강상태, 개인취미유무이며, 조직관련요인은 고용형태, 근로시간, 업무만족도로 구성하였다. 자기자비는 한국판 자기자비척도를 사용하였으며, 소진은 Baslach 소진척도를 사용하였다. 상관분석 결과 3가지 요인들은 서로 통계적으로 유의미한 상관이 있는 것으로 나타났다. 위계적 회귀분석은 개인관련 요인, 조직관련 요인, 자기자비요인으로 3가지 모델이 개발되었다. 회귀분석 결과는 다음과 같다. 소진에 대한 각 변인들의 상대적 영향력을 비교하였을 때, 자기자비 요인, 조직관련 요인(고용형태, 근로시간, 직무만족도), 개인관련 요인(나이, 건강상태, 취미) 순으로 나타났으며, 성별 변인의 유의미성은 나타나지 않았다. 이는 개인관련 요인과 조직관련 요인이 소진에 미치는 영향력이 크지만 자기자비 요인이 소진을 통계적으로 유의미하게 감소시켜줄 수 있음을 의미한다. 연구결과를 기반으로 상담자들의 소진을 낮추기 위한 제언과 연구의 한계점을 제시하였다.
