최근 이슈가 되고 있는 직장내 괴롭힘은 가해자가 피해자에게 정신적, 신체적 건강에 악영향을 주는 대표적인 이직요인이 되고 있다. 직장내 괴롭힘을 발생시키는 폭력은 그 폭력의 강도가 다소 약한 상태의 공격적 행동을 피해자 에게 전달하지만 이를 지속적이며 비신처제적인 공격으로 인해 피해자의 입장에서는 결국 강한 폭력과 같다고 할 수 있다. 이에 본 연구는 이러한 직장내 괴롭힘을 직무소진이라 하고 직무만족과 직무이직에 어떠한 요인이 가장 크게 작용하는지를 알아보고자 한다.

This study examined influences of work-family conflict on husband-to-wife battering and explored the mediating effects of stress between work-family conflict and wife battering. Subjects were 293 male violence offenders sampled from 65 domestic violence counseling centers nationally. Both directions of conflict between. work and family, work-to-family interference (WIF) and family-to-work interference (FIW), were proven to be significantly influential on wife battering and stress. Work-to-family interference did not have direct influence on wife battering but indicated a complete mediation effect of stress. On the other hand, family-to-work interference implied a partial mediation effect of stress, with both direct and indirect influences on wife battering. Based on these findings, the research discussion was extended to include the implication of an intervention that would decrease husband-to-wife battering.
