This study surveyed 230 firefighters working in Dae Gu City and Kyung Sang Buk Do in order to analyze the influence of social support and empowerment on occupational stress and its sub-categories. The study results show that occupational stress is reduced for firefighters when there is more social support and empowerment. For subcategory variables of occupational stress, occupational autonomy stress was influenced only by empowerment. Stress related to lack of compensation and stress from the organization's culture were influenced the most greatly by social support. The weekly fre quency of emergency mobilization and years of working were also found to influence occupational stress and its subcategory variables. The group difference analysis revealed that the fire department had a significantly higher occupational stress than the first-aid department, and 4 to 7 weekly emergency mobilizations corresponded to significantly higher occupational stress than 8 or more weekly emergency mobilizations. Based on the study results, stress management programs focused on increasing social support and empowerment for firefighters are suggested.

최근의 사회 경제적 현상에 비추어 우리나라 젊은이들은 취업에 많은 고민을 하고 있으며 이의 극복을 위해 많은 시간과 노력을 할애하고 있다. 우리나라는 경제규모가 세계 10위권대 임에도 불구하고 취업시장은 매우 어려운 상황이어서 돌파구가 있어야 하는 상황이다. 지금의 세계경제는 4차 산업시대로 빠르게 변화하고 있다. 이러한 변화의 중심은 세계적 대기업이 아닌 IT기반의 플랫폼 사업의 개인 창업가들이며, 이 개인 창업가들이 엄청난 속도로 성장하여 지금의 글로벌기업을 이끌고 있다. 최근 창업에 관한 인식변화와 함께 관심을 갖고 실제로 창업에 도전하는 현상이 늘어나고 있으며, 이의 성공여부가 본인은 물론 우리나라의 경제를 활성화 시킬 수 있는 원동력이 된다고 생각한다. 본 연구를 통해 생애전반에 걸쳐 교육과 취업이나 창업의 많은 사회적 경험활동이 사업가적 도전성에 어떠한 영향을 미치는지 검증하고자 한다. 실질적인 성과를 낼 수 있는 경험자들이 창업에 도전성에 어떤 영향을 주고 있는지 알아보고자 한다. 본 연구는 사회적 경험활동이 기업가적 도전성에 어떤 영향을 미치는 알아보는 연구로 개인적 특성, 사회적 경험, 창업실패에 대한 인식이 사업가적 도전성에 어떤 영향을 미치는지 검증하고, 사회적 지지가 사업가적 도전성에 조절효과가 있는지 검증하고자 한다. 창업이 국가의 경제성장이나 개인의 취업 및 경제활동 욕구를 충족시키는 요소라면 사업가적 도전성을 개개인의 사회적 경험에 앞서 학교 교육과정에서부터 체득될 수 있는 환경을 조성해서 창업에 도전성이 더욱 더 성장될 수 있도록 성장과정에서 교육적 사회적 책무를 가지고 환경조성을 한다면 사회적 경제적 비용을 줄일 수 있을 뿐 아니라 건정한 사회를 만들 수 있다고 생각한다.

This study aimed to empirically test the causal model of stress-coping-adaptation for unwed mothers, which was built upon the Lazarus and Folkman's(1984) "Stress-Coping-Adaptation" model. In doing so researchers endeavored to provide practice implications as well as theoretical ones which would be helpful both to alleviate the unwed mothers' stress level, and to facilitate social adaptation of the unwed mothers. In order to fulfill research purpose data were collected from the national sample of 423 unwed mothers in Korea. The results showed that the overall goodness of the fit of the proposed causal model was excellent. Most of the path coefficients between social support, stress, coping, and adaption turned out to be statistically significant. The moderating effects of "pursuit of social support" between stress and adaption was not significant statistically, though. Implications and suggestions were provided to reduce the level of stress of the unwed mothers, and to facilitate the adaptation of the unwed mothers.

In Korea, since the systematic efforts to help unmarried mothers are rather limited, the unmarried mother's social relationship is expected to play a critical role in the adjustment of unmarried mothers after the birth of a baby. The purpose of this study is to identify the effect of social relationship on unmarried mother's self-esteem. Especially, this study focused a negative aspect of social relationship, social conflict, which has been ignored by the previous researches. For this study, survey method was employed. The respondents of the questionnaire were 205 unmarried mothers staying at six out of eight institutions for unmarried mothers available in Korea. The multiple regression and other descriptive statistical methods were conducted and the results of analysis are as follows. First, the higher the level of perceived social support was, the higher the level of self-esteem of unmarried mothers was. Second, the higher the level of perceived social conflict was, the lower the level of self-esteem of unmarried mothers was. Third, even though the level of perceived social conflict was much lower than the perceived social support, the effect of social conflict on unmarried mothers' self-esteem was as powerful as the social support. This means that the effect of social conflict also can be very important. These findings suggest a new direction for intervention for unmarried mothers. Until now, the major target of intervention in social relationship was to strengthen existing social support or establish new social support system. Now, in addition to augmenting social support, we should pay attention to removal of social conflict, since it has significantly powerful effect on the adjustment of unmarried mothers.
