학교-직장 이행기 청년의 직장만족도에 대한 잠재계층 분류와 영향 변인 탐색

Abstract

Objectives The purpose of this study is to explore the types of job satisfaction and factors that affect young people during the school-work transition period.
 Methods In order to analyze the type of job satisfaction of school-work transition young people, we explored how many optimized types of school-work transition young people can be classified according to their response patterns and examined the effects of variables such as gender, self-concept, happiness, life satisfaction, freedom of life and social characteristics such as work value judgment and social status on type classification. To this end, a three-step approach to potential class analysis was conducted using data from 2,672 young people in the fifth year of the Korean Education and Employment Panel Survey (KEEP) who are wage workers in their main jobs.
 Results First, it was found that young people during the school-work transition period for job satisfaction were classified into four potential classes, which were named “high job satisfaction,” “medium job satisfaction,” “low job satisfaction,” and “very high job satisfaction.” Second, as a result of exploring variables that affect the classification of potential classes, it was found that the higher the variables of self-concept, good and favorite work, value evaluation of one's work, and current social status, the more significant the impact.
 Conclusions This study is meaningful in identifying the characteristics of the classified group in consideration of the job satisfaction of young people during the student-job transition period and exploring variables that significantly affect group classification.
