The purposes of this study were to develop work-life balance supportive organizational culture scale(WLB supportive organizational culture) and to verify it's validity. We reviewed comprehensive studies about work-life balance and organizational culture as well as scales related to them. We theoretically extracted some important factors of WLB organizational culture from reviews and then made 38 preliminary questions. 773 married workers in their 30s to 50s were responded to a questionnaire consisted of 38 preliminary questions and 9 variables(work-life balance, quality of life, job satisfaction, turnover etc) for criterion related validity verification. As the results of factor analysis such as EFA and CFA, we could confirm five factors including WLB organizational management, WLB supportive supervisors, empathetic communication with coworkers, coworkers' material support to WLB and accessibility to WLB programs. Second, correlation analyses were performed to investigate the validation of this scale. In result, it was revealed that the WLB supportive organizational culture scale was highly correlated with other family supportive organizational culture measures as well as dependent variables such as work-life balance, quality of life, job satisfaction, turnover. We expect this study contribute to improve the quality of studies about work-life balance and organizational culture.

본 연구는 효율적 인적자원관리의 실행과 유지에 있어서 '일과 삶 균형(WLB: Work-Life Balance)' 정책의 중요성을 이론적·실증적 접근방식으로 규명하고자 하였다. 특히 본 연구에서는 WLB 정책을 유연근무제, 친가족정책, 개인신상지원 프로그램 등 3가지 차원으로 구분하여 제시하였으며, 분석대상을 공공조직과 민간조직으로 구분하여 기존 연구와의 차별화를 도모하였다. 연구모형 개발과 가설검증을 위해 제3차 여성가족패널(KLoWF) 자료를 바탕으로 WLB 정책과 정책 부합성, 직무만족도, 이직의도 간의 관계를 분석하였으며, 설문조사를 통한 양적 분석의 한계를 보완하기 위하여 공공조직 및 민간조직 여성 근로자와의 심층 인터뷰를 통한 질적 분석을 병행하였다. 분석결과, WLB 정책과 조직 효과성 간의 관계에 있어 공공조직과 민간조직 간의 유의미한 차이가 있음을 확인할 수 있었으며 심층 인터뷰를 통해 이러한 결과가 공공조직과 민간조직의 상호 이질적인 조직 문화, 제도, 구조적 특성에 기인하고 각 영역 구성원들의 서로 다른 욕구 및 동기 유발 체계에 의한 것임을 발견할 수 있었다. 이러한 분석결과를 바탕으로 본 연구에서는 각각의 조직 특성에 맞는 수요자 친화형 WLB 정책 구축의 필요성을 제안하고, WLB 정책 시행 측면의 문제점 및 개선방안 등을 제시하였다.
