Abstract

The purpose of the convergence study is to provide basic data for improving job satisfaction of speech and language therapists by identifying the relationship between personal characteristics, empathy ability, and job satisfaction of speech and language therapists, especially between cognitive and emotional empathy ability and job satisfaction. The subjects of the study were 111 people of speech and language therapists working in Daegu and Gyeongbuk. For data analysis, t-test, ANOVA, and correlation analysis were performed using the SPSS/PC 21.0 statistical program according to the purpose of the study. As a result of the study, the relationship between empathy ability and job satisfaction was found to be high, and there was a high correlation between cognitive and emotional empathy ability, which is a sub-factor of empathy ability, and job satisfaction. Therefore, follow-up research is needed to identify the empathy and job satisfaction about nationwide speech and language therapists for implementing various education programs and improving empathy skills in the future.

본 연구는 대구·경북지역 언어재활사의 개인적 특성과 공감능력 및 직무만족도 간의 관계와 특히 인지적 및 정서적 공감능력과 직무만족도 간의 관계를 파악하여 언어재활사의 직무만족도 향상을 위한 기초 자료를 제공하기 위한 융합연구이다. 연구대상은 대구·경북지역에서 근무하는 언어재활사를 대상으로 총 111명의 설문조사를 분석하였다. 자료분석은 연구 목적에 따라 SPSS/PC 21.0 통계 프로그램을 이용하여 t-test와 ANOVA 및 상관분석을 실시하였다. 연구결과 개인적 특성과 공감능력 및 직무만족도 간의 관련성이 높게 나타났고, 공감능력의 하위 요인인 인지적 및 정서적 공감능력과 직무만족도 간의 관련성이 높은 것으로 나타났다. 이러한 결과를 토대로 추후 집체 및 소집단이나 온·오프라인 교육 등 다양한 교육 프로그램 연계와 대학에서의 공감능력 향상을 위한 비교과 및 교과목 개설이 필요하다는 것을 알 수 있었다. 그리고 향후 공감능력 향상을 위한 전국 단위 언어재활사를 대상으로 한 비교과 및 교과목 이수여부에 따른 언어재활사의 공감능력과 직무만족도를 알아보기 위한 후속연구가 필요하다.
