이 연구는 노인의료복지시설 소속 요양보호사들을 대상으로 자기효능감과 직무만족에 대한 요양보호사들의 주관적 인식의 차이를 분석해 보고자 하였다. 분석결과 요양보호사들이 근무하는 노인의료복지시설 유형에 따른 인식의 차이는 없었지만 전체적으로 요양보호사들의 자기효능감과 직무만족의 충족이 노인의료서비스 제공에 있어서 중요하다는 것을 강조하였다. 따라서 노인의료복지시설 소속 요양보호사들이 노인들에게 의료서비스 등을 제공함에 있어서 직무만족과 동시에 지속적으로 높은 수준의 자기효능감을 유지할 수 있도록 하는 인적자원관리전략이 필요함을 시사하였다는데 그 의의가 있다.

본 연구의 목적은 장애인행정도우미가 지각하는 직무만족에 대한 자기효능감의 영향을 장애수용정도가 매개하는지를 실증적으로 검증하는 것이다. 이를 위하여 수도권 주민센터 253개소의 장애인행정도우미 253명을 대상으로 조사하였으며, 수집된 자료에 대하여 구조방정식을 이용하여 자기효능감, 장애수용, 그리고 직무만족 간의 관계를 확인하였다. 분석 결과, 장애인행정도우미가 지각하는 자기효능감은 장애수용에 정적으로 유의한 영향을 미치며, 장애수용은 직무만족에 정적으로 유의한 영향을 미치는 반면, 자기효능감은 직무만족에 유의한 영향을 미치지 않는 것으로 확인되어 장애수용이 자기효능감과 직무만족 간의 관계를 완전매개하는 것으로 검증되었으며, 이러한 매개효과는 통계적으로도 유의한 것으로 확인되었다. 이상의 결과에 근거하여 장애인행정도우미의 직무만족도를 향상시킬 수 있는 실천적 함의를 제시하였다.
