한국 근로자의 일중독 : 일중독 척도 타당화 및 고용불안정성과 가족관계만족도와의 관계

Abstract

The purposes of this study are to validate the Workaholism Analysis Questionnaire among Korean employees and to examine longitudinal associations among job insecurity, satisfaction with family relationships, and workaholism in Korea. Using a subset of the data from the 17th (2014) wave Korean Labor and Income Panel Study (KLIPS), we found that the Workaholism Analysis Questionnaire was an adequate measure of workaholism among Korean employees after excluding one item and restructuring the dimensions of workaholism into four factors instead of five. Next, using the 15th (2012), 16th (2013), 17th (2014), and 18th (2015) wave KLIPS data, we analysed the associations among job insecurity, satisfaction with family relationships, and workaholism using structural equation modeling after controlling for employees’ sex, age, education, and income. The results are as follows. First, perceiving higher levels of job insecurity caused lower levels of satisfaction with family relationships and higher levels of workaholism. Second, having lower satisfaction with family relationships led to higher workaholism the following year and lower satisfaction with family relationships two years later. Third, higher workaholism contributed to lower satisfaction with family relationships the following year. Fourth, satisfaction with family relationships mediated the association between job insecurity and workaholism. Perceiving higher job insecurity decreased satisfaction with family relationships, which in turn, increased workaholism.
