Abstract

This study is based on workplace learning, which has revealed its significant influence in the previous enterprise case studies. Why do small business owners have the opportunity to participate in workplace learning based on authenticity? It was intended to clarify whether it was necessary and to increase the growth and development potential of small business owners based on its contents. Moreover, this study is focused on identifying the influence of workplace learning on management performance through this series of processes. In order to investigate the influence of small enterprise workplace learning on management performance, research hypotheses were set based on a review of previous studies, and empirical analysis was carried out. A total of 203 questionnaires were empirically analyzed using SPSS 18.0 program. As a result, first, workplace learning had partially significant positive influence on job satisfaction. Second, workplace learning had significant positive influence on management performance. Third, job satisfaction had significant positive influence on management performance. Fourth, job satisfaction had partial mediating effect in the relationship between workplace learning and management performance. The analysis result showed that among sub-factors of workplace learning, only formal learning did not affect job satisfaction and that job satisfaction did not have mediating effect in the relationship between formal learning and management performance. According to analysis, this was because in poor small enterprise environments, opportunities to participate in formal learning like external training or in-house training were not kept. In other words, poor small enterprise environments were plainly revealed from the managerial, economic and social standpoint. Therefore, there is a need to establish the foundation of growth for them to solve problems and develop win-win development capabilities and an institutional system that can make a contribution to policy and education, and management, by helping small enterprises keep opportunities to participate in workplace learning. In spite of these significant study results, there can be a limitation. For improving this limitation, further research will need to target diverse fields focusing on samples, which can explain relations of many different variables. Also, working-level relation research connected to studies that can highly enhance management performance will be required.

본 연구는 기업사례 연구에서 유의하게 영향 미쳤던 일터학습을 배경으로 연구 진행하게 되었다. 진위에 따라 소상공인의 일터학습 참여기회가 왜? 필요한지 밝히려 했으며, 내용을 기반으로 소상공인들의 성장과 발전 가능성을 높이려 했다. 또한 이러한 일련의 과정을 통해 경영성과에 영향 미침을 확인하려 했다. 따라서 소상공인의 일터학습이 경영성과에 미치는 영향관계를 규명하려 했으며, 선행연구 고찰을 통해 연구가설을 설정했고, 실증분석을 실행했다. 203부의 설문을 SPSS 18.0 통계프로그램으로 실증분석을 실시했다. 결과 첫 번째, 일터학습이 직무만족에 유의한 정(+)의 영향을 부분적으로 미쳤다. 두 번째, 일터학습이 경영성과에 유의한 정(+)의 영향을 미쳤다. 세 번째, 직무만족이 경영성과에 유의한 정(+)의 영향을 미쳤다. 네 번째, 일터학습, 경영성과 간의 관계에서 직무만족이 부분매개효과를 나타냈다. 분석결과 일터학습의 하위요인 형식학습만 직무만족에 영향을 미치지 못했으며, 형식학습과 경영성과 간의 직무만족은 매개효과가 나타나지 않았다. 이유: 열약한 소상공인의 환경에서는 외부 또는 자체교육 등 형식학습의 참여기회를 간직하지 못했던 것이 원인으로 분석되었다. 즉, 경영학적, 경제학적, 사회학적 시각에 따른 열약한 소상공인의 환경을 그대로 드러내고 있었던 것이다. 따라서 소상공인도 일터학습에 참여할 수 있는 기회를 갖게 함으로써 자력에 따른 문제해결과 상생발전 능력을 키울 성장기틀을 마련하기 위함이며, 정책과 교육, 경영에도 이바지할 수 있는 제도장치 제안을 위함이다. 이와 같이 유의한 내용의 연구결과임에도 불고하고 한계점이 있을 수 있다. 향후 진행연구는 다양한 변수의 관계를 설명할 수 있는 표본을 중심으로 여러 분야에서 연구되어야 할 것이다. 또한 경영성과를 크게 향상시킬 수 있는 학문과 연결된 실무차원의 관계연구도 진행되어야 할 것이다.
