Abstract

The purpose of this study is to improve the reemployment rate of unemployed job seekers aged 50 to 59 by supporting the foundation of our society and enhancing their value of life. We analyzed the impact of resilience, a psychological factor, on job seeking of unemployed people in their fifties. Subjects were visited and provided employment services in the Employment Welfare Plus Center in the Seoul Metropolitan Area. We devised a questionnaire consisting of three variables of general characteristics, resilience, and job search. Also, the resilience variables comprised sub-variables of control, positiveness, and sociality, and the job search variables involved sub-variables of job preparation, attitude, and willness. Study results the resilience of unemployed persons aged 50 to 59 is above average, and sub-variables of positiveness are highest compared to other sub-variables. Second, there is no significant gender difference in resilience for job search activities. Third, resilience and its sub-variables, such as control and affirmation, affect job-seeking activities. Therefore, this study suggests strengthening the resilience of job seekers in their fifties as well as providing psychological counseling and job training for job-seeking activities.

이 연구는 우리나라의 50대 실업자들을 대상으로 심리적 요인인 회복탄력성이 구직활동에 미치는 영향력을 분석하여 우리 사회의 기반을 지탱하고 있는 50대들의 재취업률을 제고하고, 인생 의미와 가치를 높이는 데 목적이 있다. 수도권의 고용복지플러스센터에 방문해 고용서비스를 이용하는 50대 실업자를 대상으로, 구직활동 영향요인의 분석을 위해 일반적 특성, 회복탄력성, 구직활동 변인으로 구성된 설문을 활용하였다. 회복탄력성 변인은 통제성, 긍정성, 사회성의 하위 변인으로 구성하고 구직활동 변인은 구직준비, 구직태도, 구직의지의 하위 변인으로 구성하였다. 연구결과, 첫째 우리나라의 50대 회복탄력성은 평균이상을 나타내고 있고, 회복탄력성 하위 변인 중에서 긍정성이 가장 높아, 50대들에게 이를 유지시키는 정기적 상담 마련이 요구된다. 둘째, 구직의지 이외에 성별에 따른 회복탄력성과 구직활동에는 유의차가 없어 성차별 없는 50대 대상 구직활동 지원이 요구된다. 셋째, 통제성, 긍정성 등의 회복탄력성이 50대들의 구직활동에 영향을 주고 있고 그 설명력이 35%를 상회하고 있어, 50대들의 회복탄력성을 강화시키고, 이를 구직과 연계하는 취업을 위한 심리 상담과 구직을 위한 취업 교육의 실시를 제안한다.
