The aim of this study is to measure the degrees of emotional labor and to empirically analyze how emotional labor affects individual's stress coping style and psychological burnout. The results were as follows. First, the call center employees were actually experiencing emotional labor and it was shown that the deep acting was higher than the surface acting. Second, the degree of experiencing stress coping style and psychological burnout appeared differently depending on the socio-economic variables of the employee. Third, despite the differences in the direction, there is a correlation between emotional labor, stress coping style, and psychological burnout. Fourth, the characteristics of the employees and emotional labor clearly affected stress coping style and psychological burnout. Therefore, companies will have to provide various psychological treatments and training programs for call center employees, and a change in social awareness, where people take the service industry workers' kindness for granted, is required as well.

직장이 아닌 곳에서 근무하는 스마트워크는 조직과 조직 구성원 모두에게 도움이 되는 미래지향적인 근무 방식으로 최근 화두가 되고 있다. 본 연구는 콜센터를 운영하고 있는 기업을 대상으로 직장근무자와 스마트워크 근무자간의 서비스풍토, 직무만족, 조직몰입, 서비스수행능력 등 조직 관련 주요 변수에 대한 인식 차이를 조사하였다. 분석 결과, 스마트워크 근무자들이 직장근무자들에 비해 서비스풍토에 대한 인식이나 직무만족이나 조직몰입, 서비스수행능력 등 모든 측면에서 긍정적인 것으로 나타났다. 이와 같은 결과를 바탕으로 스마트워크의 활성화를 위한 시사점과 정책 방안을 제시하였다.

본 연구는 서비스 산업 종사자 중 주로 대면(face-to-face) 서비스 종사자를 대상으로 감정노동에 관하여 연구된 논문이 주를 이루었던 기존의 연구와 달리 고객과의 접점 부서 중 가장 일선에서 근무하고 있는 음성(voice-to-voice) 서비스 종사자인 항공사 콜센터 상담원을 대상으로 그들의 감정노동이 소진에 미치는 영향 관계를 파악하고, 그 과정에서 사회적 지원이 어떠한 매개역할을 수행하고 있는지 연구하였다. 연구 결과, 감정노동은 소진에 유의한 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났으며, 감정노동과 소진과의 관계에서 사회적 지원 중 상사의 지원이 매개효과가 있는 것으로 확인되어 효율적인 인적요소 쇄신의 방향 제시 및 항공사 콜센터의 경쟁력 제고를 위한 이론적 근거를 마련하였다.

There are hundreds of thousands call center workers wearing acoustic device. However, researches and noise exposure measurements on the noise transmitted from acoustic devices have seldom been performed due to the difficulty of measurement and to the absence of the measuring method in Korea. The aim of this study is to set up management measures to protect hearing loss on the call operator by acquiring measurement data of noise transmitted from the headset Noise exposure measurements of 17 operators were performed in 7 call centers and Head and Torso Simulator method in compliance with the ISO Standard 11904-2 was used for the measurement of noise transmitted from the headset Sound pressure levels(SPL) transmitted from the headset were 73.2~86 dB(A). The operator exposed to the highest SPL set up his volume control at 9 which was the highest volume level. The volume control level, adjustable from 1 to 9, could be identified 12 out of 17 operators and the range of volume levels was 4.5~9. As a result of Pearson Correlation Analysis, the correlation between volume level and SPL transmitted from the headset showed high relation as significance at the 0.672 level(p<0.05). To protect hearing loss of call center operators, it is more practical and effective measure to limit the volume level below the noise exposure level, i.e. 85 dB(A), rather than to carry out noise monitoring considering cost-effective aspect.

Background: Law enforcement communications (i.e., 911 dispatch and call takers) is a challenging and stressful occupation. The purpose of this study is to identify the main stressors associated with employment in law enforcement communications, and to identify and provide context to how these stressors affect workers' health and wellbeing. Methods: This research study included focus groups with 23 call takers and 911 dispatchers employed by a large, urban law enforcement agency in 2018. Thematic analyses were conducted to identify trends. Results: Four themes of stressors emerged (i.e., the high stakes nature of some 911 calls for service, understaffing, supervisor-related stress, and recruiting practice). Two health-related themes emerged as being occupation-related: weight gain and poor sleep patterns/insufficient sleep). Specifically, participants reported negative eating habits resulting in weight gain and obesity, lack of sleep and irregular sleep schedules, and development of hypertension and/or diabetes since beginning their jobs. Conclusion: Law enforcement communications professionals experience a number of the same stressors facing law enforcement officers in patrol. These stressors, combined with the sedentary nature of the job, could result in long-term, chronic health problems.

이 연구는 콜센터직원의 ESG 활동 지각이 직무만족, 친사회적 활동 및 직무 성과에 미치는 영향을 본다. 연구를 수행하기 위하여, 국내 주요 보험사의 콜센터직원 264명으로부터 데이터를 수집한 후 SmartPLS 4.0을 사용하여 분석을 수행하였다. 분석 결과에 따르면, ESG 활동에 대한 직원 인식이 직무만족을 유의하게 향상시켰다. 하지만 ESG 활동 지각이 친사회적 행동에 미치는 영향은 유의하나 상대적으로 미미했다. 직무만족은 직원의 친사회적 행동과 직무 성과를 긍정적으로 높이는 역할을 수행하였다. 또한, 친사회적 행동은 직무 성과에 긍정적으로 높여주었다. 중요한 시사점으로는 직원의 기업 ESG 경영 활동에 대한 지각이 그들의 직무자원 역할을 한다는 것을 밝혀낸 것이다. 이러한 직원들의 지각이 직원의 태도, 행동 및 성과에 영향을 준다는 사실은 기업의 윤리적 행동을 직원에게 홍보하는 것에 대한 장점을 보여준다.

Background: In the absence of a vaccine or treatment, the most pragmatic strategies against an infectious disease pandemic are extensive early detection testing and social distancing. This study aimed to summarize public and workplace responses to Coronavirus Disease-19 (COVID-19) and show how the Korean system has operated during the COVID-19 pandemic. Method: Daily briefings from the Korean Center for Disease Control and the Central Disaster Management Headquarters were assembled from January 20 to May 15, 2020. Results: By May 15, 2020, 11,018 COVID-19 cases were identified, of which 15.7% occurred in workplaces such as health-care facilities, call centers, sports clubs, coin karaoke, and nightlife destinations. When the first confirmed case was diagnosed, the Korean Center for Disease Control and Central Disaster Management Headquarters responded quickly, emphasizing early detection with numerous tests and a social distancing policy. This slowed the spread of infection without intensive containment, shut down, or mitigation interventions. After entering the public health blue alert level, a business continuity plan was distributed. After entering the orange level, the Ministry of Employment and Labor developed workplace guidelines for COVID-19 consisting of social distancing, flexible working schedules, early identification of workers with suspected infections, and disinfection of workplaces. Owing to the intensive workplace social distancing policy, workplaces remained safe with only small sporadic group infections. Conclusion: The workplace social distancing policy with timely implementation of specific guidelines was a key to preventing a large outbreak of COVID-19 in Korean workplaces. However, sporadic incidents of COVID-19 are still ongoing, and risk assessment in vulnerable workplaces should be continued.

최근 감정노동의 중요성이 커짐에 따라 본 연구는 감정노동이(표면행동, 내면행동)이 직무소진(정서적 고갈, 탈인격화, 자아성취감 저하)을 매개로 반생산적과업행동(조직일탈, 개인일탈)에 미치는 영향을 검증하고자 한다. 감정노동이 요구되는 콜센터종사자, 백화점판매원, 금융종사자, 병원접점종사자, 호텔접점종사자, 승무원, 고객센터종사자 등을 대상으로 총 350부의 설문지가 배부되었고, 불성실한 응답지를 제외한 300부의 설문지가 분석에 활용되었다. 실증연구결과는 다음과 같다. 첫째, 고객접점 종사자들이 직무수행과정에서 선택하게 되는 감정노동의 유형인 표면행동은 직무소진 중 정서적 고갈, 탈인격화, 자아성취감 저하에 모두 정(+)의 유의한 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 둘째, 내면행동은 직무소진 중 탈인격화, 자아성취감 저하에 부(-)의 유의한 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났으나 정서적 고갈에는 유의한 영향을 미치지 않는 것으로 나타났다. 셋째, 직무소진 중 탈인격화와 자아성취감 저하는 모두 반생산적과업행동(조직일탈, 개인일탈)에 모두 정(+)의 유의한 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났으나 정서적 고갈은 반생산적과업행동(조직일탈, 개인일탈)에 유의한 영향을 미치지 않는 것으로 나타났다. 이러한 분석결과를 토대로 본 연구의 시사점과 한계점 및 향후 연구방향에 대하여 논의하였다.
