초록

본 연구는 항공사 객실승무원에게 요구되는 역량을 파악하기 위해 객실승무원들의 주관적 인식 유형과 유형별 특성을 Q-방법론을 활용하여 분석하였다. 33개의 Q-표본과 33명의 P-표본을 대상으로 하여 Ken-Q Analysis 프로그램으로 분석한 결과, '체력 및 외모적 자질 중시형', '직무수행능력 중시형', '의사소통능력 중시형', '직업정신 중시형' 등 4가지 유형을 확인하였다. 대부분의 유형에서 체력적인 요소, 비상상황 대처능력, 업무 책임감의 중요성에 대해 높은 동의를 나타내었다. 연구 결과의 유형별 특성을 기초자료로 항공사 교육훈련 및 항공서비스 전공 학과의 효과적인 교육과정 개발에 활용할 수 있을 것이며, 객실승무원을 희망하는 취업 준비생에게 직무 이해를 돕고 필요한 역량을 함양할 수 있는 참조자료가 될 수 있을 것이다.

This study analyzed the characteristics of each type of subjective perception of cabin crew by applying Q-methodology to understand the competencies required of airline cabin crew. As a result of analyzing 33 Q-samples and 33 P-samples using the Ken-Q Analysis program, four types were identified: "Physical strength and appearance quality-oriented", "job performance-oriented", "communication ability-oriented", and "job consciousness-oriented". Most types showed high agreement on physical factors, ability to cope with emergency situations and work responsibility. The results can be used as basic data to develop effective curriculum for airline training course and airline service majors, and it can be a reference material to help job seekers understand the job and cultivate necessary competencies.
