Abstract

This study analyzed the relationship between the social support and life satisfaction of the new-middle aged job seekers, and the mediating effect of re-employment desire. Firstly, the relationship between social support and life satisfaction were significant, therefore it confirmed social support should be expanded to improve new-middle aged life satisfaction. Secondly, the desire for social status, self-realization and leisure utilization were significantly influenced in the relationship between the desire for re-employment and life satisfaction. Thirdly, the re-employment desire had a partial mediating effect in the relationship between social support and life satisfaction. These results suggest that it is important to establish a social network for emotional support continuously after retirement, in addition to career planning for re-employment in the process of preparing for retirement, in order to increase the level of life satisfaction of the new-middle age.

본 연구는 신중년 구직자를 대상으로 사회적 지지와 삶의 만족도의 영향관계를 살펴보고 재취업욕구가 매개효과를 가지는지 검증하였다. 연구결과는 첫째, 사회적 지지와 삶의 만족도 관계는 유의미한 것으로 나타나 신중년의 삶의 만족도를 향상하기 위해서는 사회적 지지가 확대되어야 한다는 것을 확인할 수 있었고 둘째, 재취업욕구와 삶의 만족도의 관계에서 사회적지위 욕구, 자기실현 욕구, 여가선용 욕구가 유의미한 영향요인으로 나타났다. 일을 통해 삶의 만족도를 높이기 위해서는 자기실현 욕구가 충족되어야 하는 것을 알 수 있다. 셋째, 사회적 지지와 삶의 만족도 사이에서 자기실현, 사회적 지위, 여가선용이 부분 매개하는 것으로 확인되었다. 이와 같은 결과를 통해 신중년의 삶의 만족도 수준을 높이기 위해서는 재취업을 위한 경력설계 외에 지속적으로 정서적 지지를 위한 사회적 관계망을 구축하는 것이 중요하다는 것을 시사한다.
