Abstract

With the fierce competition of companies for the attraction of outstanding individuals, job satisfaction of employees has been of importance. In this circumstance, many companies try to invest in job satisfaction improvement by finding employees' everyday experiences and difficulties. However, due to a lack of understanding of the employee experience, their investments are not paying off. This study examined the relationship between employee experience and job satisfaction using employee reviews and company ratings from Glassdoor, one of the largest employee communities worldwide. We use text mining techniques such as K-means clustering and LDA topic-based sentiment analysis to extract key experience factors by job level, and DistilBERT sentiment analysis to measure the sentiment score of each employee experience factor. The drawn employee experience factors and each sentiment score were analyzed quantitatively, and thereby relations between each employee experience factor and job satisfaction were analyzed. As a result, this study found that there is a significant difference between the workplace experiences of managers and general employees. In addition, employee experiences that affect job satisfaction also differed between positions, such as customer relationship and autonomy, which did not affect the satisfaction of managers. This study used text mining and quantitative modeling method based on theory of work adjustment so as to find and verify main factors of employee experience, and thus expanded research literature. In addition, the results of this study are applicable to the personnel management strategy for improving employees' job satisfaction, and are expected to improve corporate productivity ultimately.

기존에 우수한 인재를 유치하기 위한 기업들의 경쟁이 심화됨에 따라, 직원들의 직무 만족도 관리가 중요해지고 있다. 이에 많은 기업의 관리자들은 직원들의 일상적인 경험과 고충을 파악하여 직무만족도를 개선하기 위해 투자하고 있다. 그러나 직원 경험에 대한 충분한 이해의 부족으로 관리자들의 투자는 효과를 보지 못하고 있다. 본 논문은 전 세계적으로 가장 큰 직장인 커뮤니티인 글래스도어의 직원 리뷰와 기업 평점을 활용하여 직원 경험의 세부 요인들과 직무 만족도 간 관계를 조사한다. 이때 K-평균 군집화, Sentiment LDA Topic Modeling 등 텍스트 마이닝 기법을 활용하여 직급에 따른 주요 경험을 추출하고, DistilBERT 감성 분석을 통해 각 직원경험 요인의 감성점수를 측정한다. 이후 도출된 직원 경험 요인과 감성 점수를 계량적으로 분석하여 각 직원 경험 요인과 직무 만족도 간의 관계를 파악한다. 그 결과, 조직 관리자와 일반 직원의 직장 내 경험에는 상당한 차이가 있는 것으로 발견되었다. 또한 고객관계, 자율성 등은 관리자의 만족도에 영향을 미치지 않는 등, 직무 만족도에 영향을 미치는 직원경험 역시 직급 간 상이했다. 본 연구는 직업적응이론을 기반으로 텍스트 마이닝과 계량 모델링 방법을 이용하여 직원경험의 주요 요인을 확인하고 이를 검증함으로써 관련 연구분야의 문헌을 확장한다. 더불어, 본 연구결과는 직원들의 직무 만족도 개선을 위한 인사관리 전략에 활용될 수 있으며, 궁극적으로는 기업의 생산성을 개선할 것으로 기대한다.
