Abstract

This study is based on prior research cases on workplace learning, which had a significant impact on corporate research. To improve problem solving and supplementing ability by keeping the opportunity to participate in workplace learning for the weak small business owners and to strengthen opportunities for practical growth, and to propose education, policy and institutional windowing. Therefore, to establish the relationship between small business owners' workplace learning, job satisfaction, and service quality, a research hypothesis was set in the background of prior research and empirical analysis was conducted. The results from 203 questionnaires were analyzed with SPSS 18.0 program. As an analytical result, first, workplace learning had a partial positive (+) impact on job satisfaction. Second, workplace learning had a partial positive (+) impact on service quality. Third, in the relationship between workplace learning and service quality, job satisfaction played a full mediating role. From this, it was found that formal learning, the subfactor of workplace learning did not have an impact on job satisfaction and service quality, as subtitle of educational environment including offsite training and self education, systematization, and structuralization depending on the poor environment of small enterprises. Therefore, it was found that small enterprises' poor environment was revealed from the managerial, economic and social perspectives and to compensate such defect, educational, policy, and institutional strategies to strengthen the opportunity for growth and development of small enterprises can be suggested to the governmental agencies or local governments. Despite the significant results of this study, there may be limitations. Therefore, further studies should be conducted in various fields with various samples in the future, and further studies should be conducted in academic and practical relationships that can improve the service quality and management performance.

본 연구는 기업연구에 유의한 영향을 미쳤던 일터학습에 관한 선행 연구사례를 배경으로 연구하게 되었다. 열약한 소상공인에게 일터학습의 참여기회를 간직하게 함으로써 문제점 해결과 보완 능력을 향상시키고 실천적 성장의 기회를 강화하기 위함이며, 교육, 정책 제도적 창치를 제안하기 위함이다. 따라서 소상공인의 일터학습, 직무만족, 서비스품질 간의 관계규명을 위해 선행연구를 배경으로 연구가설을 설정하였고 실증분석을 실시하였다. 203건의 설문 결과를 SPSS 18.0 프로그램으로 분석하였다. 분석결과 첫째. 일터학습은 직무만족에 부분적 정(+)의 영향을 미쳤다. 둘째. 일터학습은 서비스품질에 부분적 정(+)의 영향을 미쳤다. 셋째. 일터학습과 서비스품질 간의 관계에서 직무만족이 완전 매개 역할을 나타냈다. 이를 통해 일터학습의 하위요인 형식적 학습은 소상공인의 열약한 환경에 따라 외부교육 및 자체교육 그리고 체계화, 구조화 등 교육환경의 부제로 직무만족과 서비스품질에 영향을 미치지 못하는 것으로 연구되었다. 따라서 경영, 경제, 사회적 시각으로 소상공인의 열약한 환경을 그대로 드러내고 있음을 확인할 수 있었으며, 이러한 문제점 보완을 위해 정부기관 또는 지자체에 소상공인의 성장과 발전의 기회를 강화하기위한 교육, 정책, 제도적 장치를 제안할 수 있을 것이다. 이와 같은 연구결과가 유의하게 나왔음에도 불구하고 한계점은 있을 수 있다. 따라서 향후 다양한 표본으로 다양한 분야에서 추가 연구가 이루어 져야 할 것이며, 더 나아가 향상된 서비스품질 및 경영성과를 향상시킬 수 있는 학문적 실무적 관계에서도 연구가 이루어져야 할 것이다.
