Methods: The study employed a quantitative research method of collecting data from a structured questionnaire that was filled out by 334 social workers at long-term care facilities. Data were analyzed by descriptive statistics, mean differences, correlation between variables, using SPSS 20.0 program. Results: The mean score for the understanding the rights to an EOL care decision was $3.46{\pm}0.69$ and of their own roles $3.48{\pm}0.84$. The level of understanding significantly differed by social workers' experience of assisting a process to make an EOL care decision such as advance directives and life sustaining treatment, work experience, and the number of beds. Positive correlation was observed between the level of understanding of the rights for EOL care decisions and of social workers' roles (Pearson r=0.329, P<0.001).

It is true that there are not enough empirical studies on the companionship to social welfare workers until now. Thus, this study has reduced the need to demonstrate the causal relationship between compassion experienced and outcome variables by social workers. The purpose of this study is to demonstrate the impact of the compassion experienced by social workers in social welfare facilities on positive psychological capital, and to the psychological effect formed by the psychosomatic concentration. Third, the purpose of this study is to verify the effect of positive psychological capital on the relationship between compassion and affective commitment, and fourth, the relationship between positive psychological capital and organizational identification. For empirical research, the hypothesis was verified after a survey of 369 social workers at social welfare facilities in Seoul and Gyeonggi Province. The study showed that the compassion experienced by social workers had a positive(+) effect on positive psychological capital, and that positive psychological capital had a positive(+) effect on affective commitment. In the relationship between compassion and affective commitment, the effect of the mediation of positive psychological capital has also been proven to be significant. In addition in the relationship between positive psychological capital and affective commitment, it has been noted that organizational identification has also been proven to be significant. Therefore, this study has theoretical implications for the mediating effect of the positive psychological capital and the moderating effect of organizational identification in relation to the compassion. This study will have practical implications for enhancing social workers' behavior to be more compassionate in their attitude to customers.

본 연구는 직무자원과 직무요구, LMX가 노인복지관의 사회복지사들의 소진에 미치는 영향을 실증적으로 검증하였다. 본 연구는 경기도 지역의 50개 노인복지관을 대상으로 총 315부의 설문조사를 실시하였다. 조사는 우편으로 진행하였고, 회수된 설문지는 총 33개 기관 189부이다. 조사기간은 2016년 1월-2월 약 두달간 이루어졌고, 기술통계, 다중회귀분석방법으로 분석하였다. 분석결과 직무자원과 직무요구는 소진에 영향을 나타내어, 직무자원이 많을수록 사회복지사들의 소진이 감소되며, 직무요구가 높을수록 사회복지사들의 소진도 높다고 할 수 있다. 또한 LMX는 직무자원, 직무요구와 소진과의 관계를 부분 매개하는 것으로 검증되었다. 이러한 결과를 토대로 노인복지관 사회복지사들의 소진을 감소하기 위하여 조직관리와 인적자원관리에 대한 함의를 찾을 수 있다.

The current study aims to reconstruct the biography of a male elderly for the biographical research, based on the narrativity. The following conclusions are ascertained through the analysis of the narrative-biographical interview: a life as told is constructed in a biographical perspective of life from the only son, who is oppressed by the duties for his role. On the contrary, a life as experienced is constructed with life from a self-determined point of view. Therefore it may be concluded that differences between the life as told and life as experienced stand for discrepancies between the biographical self-evaluation and the biographical reality. Some implications from this reconstructing biography, based on the narrativity, were addressed as regards welfare practice for the elderly and biographical research in the welfare for the elderly.

본 연구는 장기투자자인 생명보험사 및 연기금의 투자다변화 일환으로 장기투자의 성격에 부합하고 안정적이며 높은 수익이 기대되는 대체투자 중 사회간접자본 자산에 대한 투자방안을 연구목적으로 하여 다음의 분석결과를 도출하였다. 첫째, 생명보험사와 연기금의 금융부문 수익률과 사회간접자본 투자수익률을 비교한 결과 사회간접자본 투자는 변동성이 큰 주식에 비하여 위험은 낮고 안전자산인 채권에 비해서는 상대적으로 높은 수익률을 나타내었다. 둘째, 생명보험사 및 연기금이 사회간접자본 투자에 참여할 경우 사회간접자본 투자에 대한 정부의 수입보장 및 국내 인프라 사업의 사업수익률 수준과 타기관의 목표수익률 등을 종합적으로 고려할 때 15% 수준의 투자수익률이 적합할 것으로 보인다. 다만 최근 국내 주요 사회간접자본 사업의 투자수익률을 볼 때 국가관리사업과 자체관리사업 모두 투자수익률이 낮아지고 있는 추세이므로 장기적으로 이러한 추세를 반영하여 목표수익률의 재조정이 필요한 것으로 보인다. 셋째, 현실적인 간접투자상품의 한계 및 직접투자시의 비용절감효과 등으로 대규모투자자의 경우 전문성을 확보하여 직접투자방식의 참여를 고려할 수 있으며 중소규모투자자의 경우 시장상황 및 위험을 고려하여 펀드를 조성하여 투자하는 것을 고려할 수 있다. 그리고 중장기적으로는 세계적인 추세에 따라 국내 사회간접자본 간접투자 시장이 활성화되고 규모가 커지게 될 것으로 예상되는 바, 간접투자방식을 적극적으로 검토하여야 할 것이다.
