경찰조직의 성별직무분리 영향요인 탐색

Abstract

The sexual task segregation in the police organization is an undeniable fact. This is supported by objective statistics showing that female police officers tend to be concentrated in specific departments or roles. This is becoming more pronounced due to arguments suggesting that women have lower physical capabilities compared to men and that police work is better suited for men. In addition to this, doubts about the role and identity of female police officers and a lack of trust between male and female police officers have further contributed to this clear sexual task segregation structure.
 It has a solid and closed nature, leading to gender inequality within the organization. Therefore, it’s important to conduct research on the factors influencing sexual task segregation and their impact on the job attitudes of organizational members. In particular, research should go beyond simplistic explanations based on the nature of police work and the physical differences between men and women. This is because individual differences and factors in the workplace, such as the ease of balancing roles in both home and work environments, play a significant role in the choice of jobs that facilitate work-family balance, considering factors like marriage and childbirth, household chores, and childcare responsibilities.
 This research aims to dissect the factors influencing gender-based job segregation into individual and organizational dimensions to investigate whether gender-based job segregation within the police organization is a matter of personal choice or organizational compulsion.
