Abstract

The purpose of this study is to identify what factors actually affect the turnover intentions of social workers. It is an important task to grasp the factors of turnover of the social worker through empirical analysis because the high turnover rate of social welfare workers in Korea has a negative influence on their organization and ultimately impedes the stable delivery of social welfare services. This study used the results of analyzing 100 social workers in social service companies. In fact, the data used in this study were statistically analyzed only for 82 subjects, except for 18 subjects who did not respond to the variables used. As a result, the general effects of job stress on job turnover and job exhaustion were examined as much as possible. We examined the effect of job stress, an independent variable, on the turnover and exhaustion of social workers. Specifically, job stress was divided into role, organizational, and relationship, and it was found that role - related factor job stress only affected social workers' turnover intention significantly. In addition, the relationship-related affected the exhaustion of the social worker. Therefore, in order to reduce the exhaustion of the social worker, the desirable direction to reduce the stress of the relationship-related factor should be sought.

본 연구의 목적은 사회복지사의 이직의도에 실제적으로 영향을 미치는 요인이 무엇인지 확인하는 데에 있다. 우리나라 사회복지시설 사회복지사들의 높은 이직률은 그들이 속한 조직에 부정적 영향을 미쳐 궁극적으로 사회복지 서비스의 안정적 전달을 저해하기 때문에 실증적 분석을 통해 사회복지사의 이직 요인을 파악하는 것은 중요한 과제다. 이직의도가 실제 이직으로 이어지지 않는다 하더라도 그들의 업무소진과 이직을 희망하는 상태에서의 서비스는 장기적으로 질적 수준이 떨어질 수 있기 때문에 근무 중인 사회복지사의 업무소진을 낮추는 문제 역시 중요하다. 그간 사회복지사의 이직 또는 이직의도에 대한 연구는 많았으나, 주로 특정 분야 또는 특정 지역으로 연구 대상을 한정해 그 결과를 일반화하기에는 어려움이 있었다. 본 연구는 사회서비스기업에 재직중인 사회복지사 100명을 분석한 결과를 사용했다. 실제 본 연구에서 사용한 자료에는 필용한 변수에 무응답한 18명을 제외하고 82명만을 대상으로 통계 분석을 실시했다. 이로써 직무스트레스가 이직의도와 업무소진에 미치는 일반적 영향에 대해 살펴볼 수 있었다. 우리는 독립변수인 직무스트레스가 사회복지사의 이직의도와 소진에 미치는 영향을 확인하고자 하였다. 구체적으로, 직무스트레스를 역할관련, 조직관련, 관계관련으로 나누어 통계분석한 결과 역할 관련 요인 직무스트레스만이 사회복지사의 이직의도를 유의미하게 설명하는 것으로 나타났다.
