Abstract

The purpose of this study is to objectively quantify the degree of social exclusion of the disabled and verify the impact of the derived degree of social exclusion on the quality of life of the disabled. And the purpose is to verify whether job satisfaction moderates the impact of social exclusion and quality of life of disabled people. The subjects of the study were 1,280 people extracted through a panel survey on employment of the disabled. The independent variables of social exclusion are economic difficulties, employment status, mental health, and social activities. The dependent variable was quality of life, and the control variable was job satisfaction. The research results are as follows. First, the sub-factors of social exclusion that affect quality of life were economic difficulties, mental health, participation in social activities, and employment status. Second, job satisfaction showed a moderating effect in the relationship between social exclusion and quality of life. And the sub-factors of social exclusion that have a moderating effect on quality of life were identified as economic difficulties, employment status, and social activities. In follow-up research, it will be necessary to investigate employment programs for the disabled in developed countries and analyze the implementation background, implementation details, achievements, and limitations, thereby contributing to the establishment of employment policies for the disabled. It is hoped that through this research, the vicious cycle of social exclusion and discrimination of the disabled will be improved and an opportunity will be provided to improve the quality of life through the economic activities of the disabled.

본 연구의 목적은 장애인의 사회적 배제 정도를 객관적으로 수치화하여 도출된 사회적 배제 정도가 장애인의 삶의 질에 미치는 영향과 직무만족이 장애인의 사회적 배제와 삶의 질에 미치는 영향을 조절하는지를 검증한 것이다. 연구대상은 장애인 고용 패널조사를 통하여 추출된 1,280명을 대상으로 하였다. 독립변수인 사회적 배제는 경제적 어려움, 고용상태, 정신적 건강, 사회활동이다. 종속변수는 삶의 질 그리고 조절변수는 직무만족으로 하였다. 이 연구 결과는 다음과 같다. 첫째, 삶의 질에 영향을 미치는 사회적 배제의 하위요인은 경제적 어려움, 정신적 건강, 사회활동, 고용상태로 나타났다. 둘째, 사회적 배제와 삶의 질의 영향 관계에서 직무만족은 조절효과가 나타났다. 그리고 삶의 질에 조절효과가 있는 사회적 배제의 하위요인은 경제적 어려움, 고용상태, 사회활동으로 확인되었다. 후속 연구는 선진국의 장애인고용프로그램을 조사하여 시행 배경, 시행내용, 성과, 한계 등을 분석하여 장애인 고용정책의 수립에 기여해야 할 것이다. 이러한 연구를 통하여 장애인의 사회적 배제와 차별의 악순환이 개선되고 장애인의 경제활동을 통하여 삶의 질이 향상되는 계기가 마련되길 기대한다.
