Abstract

The present study aimed to examine the relationship between person-job fit, work meaningfulness, job involvement, and career satisfaction, which have recently gained attention from employees and HR professionals. Based on previous studies, we logically established a path from person-job fit to work meaningfulness, job involvement, and ultimately career satisfaction. This study sought to validate these dual mediating effect. A survey was conducted with 283 employees, and the data were analyzed using SPSS 21 and Process Macro. The main findings of the study are as follows: person-job fit, work meaningfulness, job involvement, and career satisfaction showed positive correlations. The dual mediating effects of work meaningfulness and job involvement on the relationship between person-job fit and career satisfaction were statistically significant. These results imply that in order to prevent employee turnover and ensure the organization's sustained performance, it is necessary to design jobs in a way that allows employees to perceive their work as suitable and aligned with their characteristics, thereby enhancing positive psychological factors such as work meaningfulness, job involvement, and career satisfaction. The conclusions provide implications, limitations, and suggestions for future research.

본 연구는 최근 직장인들과 인사담당자들의 관심을 받고 있는 직무적합, 일의의미, 직무몰입, 경력만족이 서로 어떠한 관계가 있는지를 확인하고자 하였다. 선행연구를 통해서 이들 변인들은 직무적합에서 시작하여 일의의미, 직무몰입을 거쳐 경력만족에 이르는 경로가 논리적으로 타당한 것으로 확인되었으며, 이러한 이중매개효과를 검증하고자 하였다. 283명의 직장인을 대상으로 설문조사를 실시하였으며, SPSS 21과 Process Macro를 통하여 자료를 분석하였다. 연구의 주요 결과는 다음과 같다. 직무적합, 일의의미, 직무몰입, 경력만족은 각각 정적인 상관을 보였으며, 직무적합과 경력만족 간의 관계에 대한 일의의미와 직무몰입의 이중매개효과는 통계적으로 유의미한 것으로 확인되었다. 이러한 결과는 일의의미와 직무몰입, 경력만족 등의 긍정적 심리변인의 수준을 높여 인적자원의 이탈을 막고, 조직의 지속적인 성과를 위해서 직장인이 자신의 직무가 자신의 특성과 적합하다고 지각할 수 있도록 직무를 설계할 필요가 있다는 것을 의미한다. 연구의 시사점, 한계점 그리고 향후 연구에 대한 제언 등을 결론에 제시하였다.
