Abstract

This research aims at drawing implications by positive and negative variables affecting burnout of young working adults. The authors derived social support and empathy from sorting out the positive variables, and job boredom and job stress from the negative variables. Many studies have shown that these selected variables are believed to influence considerably on burnout. This research is achieved by the method of hierarchical multiple regression analysis. The results indicate that four positive and negative variables influence on burnout, and the negative variables(job stress, job boredom) have the greater effect than the positive variables(empathy, social support) do. Thus, there is an urgent need for care and concern for the social beginners.

본 연구는 사회초년생들을 대상으로 직무소진에 미치는 긍정적인 요인과 부정적인 요인을 탐구하기 위해 수행되었다. 긍정적인 요인으로는 사회적 지원 및 공감을 선정하였고, 부정적인 요인으로는 직무권태와 직무 스트레스를 선별하였다. 이러한 요인들은 여러 연구에서 직무소진에 영향을 미치는 주요 원인으로 다루어졌다. 연구방법으로는 위계적 회귀분석을 이용하여 변수 간 영향력을 더욱 세밀하게 파악해 보았다. 연구결과 부정적 요인들(직무 스트레스, 직무권태)이 긍정적 요인들(공감, 사회적 지원)보다 직무소진에 더 많은 영향을 미치고 있었다. 이에 사회초년생들에게 관심과 배려가 절실히 필요하다는 것을 확인할 수 있었다.
