육군 간부의 조직 촉진조건이 직무만족에 미치는 영향 －군악대를 중심으로

Abstract

This study was conducted to determine the effect of organizational facilitating conditions on job satisfaction of Army officers. For this purpose, correlation and multiple regression analyses were conducted to determine the relationship between organizational facilitating conditions and job satisfaction among military band officers and non-commissioned officers of the Army, and independent samples t-test and one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) were conducted to determine the differences in job satisfaction according to demographic and organizational characteristics of the army band. As a result of the analysis, first, among the sub-components of organizational facilitating conditions, only educational facilitating conditions were found to have a positive and significant effect on job satisfaction. These results support previous research that the burden of teaching work negatively affects organizational commitment and positive attitudes, and that on-the-job training promotes professional development, which in turn affects job satisfaction. Therefore, it is urgently necessary to provide professional training conditions for band enlisted soldier, as well as to expand the number of officers who can provide training and guidance to band enlisted soldier and share the workload. In addition, if it is difficult to create a separate educational institution within the military due to the very small size of the band department, it is also necessary to create conditions where training can be conducted from time to time by utilizing civilian personnel to solve the educational deficiency. In addition, as the number of active-duty enlisted soldiers has been plummeting in recent years, a policy of expanding the number of officer’s instead of reducing the size of the enlisted soldier will improve the efficiency of their main specialties while sharing the training tasks. Second, while demographic characteristics did not affect job satisfaction, position and status were found to have a significant effect on job satisfaction among band organizational characteristics. This is consistent with previous studies that have shown that job satisfaction is significantly higher for commanders compared to staff officers. Therefore, it is necessary to seriously examine whether the structure of army bands and the division of duties are overly biased toward the staff to improve the work of the staff. In addition, the imbalance in job satisfaction between non-commissioned officers and officers should be carefully diagnosed as a factor, and measures should be taken to increase mutual job satisfaction and eliminate the gap between positions and status. This study is significant in that it is the first study to apply the organizational facilitating conditions to a military organization.
