[통합적연구] 직장인의 소명의식과 삶의 만족의 관계: 일 자유의지와 소명수행의 매개효과

The purpose of this study is to research the relationship among perceiving a calling, work volition, living a calling, and life satisfaction, and figure out the mediating effect of work volition and living a calling between perceiving a calling and life satisfaction for workers. To confirm this, 311 workers who engaged in various occupational groups were surveyed online. The results of this study were as follows: First, perceiving a calling and life satisfaction, perceiving a calling and work volition, perceiving a calling and living a calling, work volition and living a calling, work volition and life satisfaction, living a calling and life satisfaction had a positive correlation respectively. Second, when figuring out the individual mediating effect of work volition and living a calling in the relationship between perceiving a calling and life satisfaction, each mediation variable was found to mediate perceiving a calling and life satisfaction completely. Third, work volition and living a calling showed mediating effects in the relationship between perceiving a calling and life satisfaction, but did not show sequential mediating effect. This study confirmed that it is crucial for workers to live their callings and wills to overcome difficulties in career situations to live happily in their lives. As a way to improve the quality of life in counseling for workers, it suggests that not only internal factors such as perceiving a calling but also external intervention such as intervention to help actually carry out the work volition and into the environmental constraints felt by the clients should be taken place.
