소방관의 직무 자율성과 직무 만족이 조직몰입에 미치는 영향에 관한 연구

Abstract

This study aims to empirically analyze the effect of job autonomy and job satisfaction on the organizational commitment of firefighters who perform their standard daily firefighter routine. Moreover, it provides basic data on standard daily routine improvement by showing the working environment and dispatch characteristics. It is unreasonable to apply a uniform standard daily routine to the unpredictable dispatch environment of fire officials. This study analyzed a nationwide sample of fire officials and found that the current standard daily routine hinders job autonomy and job satisfaction. The empirical analysis was performed with job autonomy and job satisfaction as independent variables and organizational commitment as the dependent variable. The results showed that organizational commitment positively affected job autonomy and job satisfaction. Moreover, they suggest that increasing organizational commitment through improvements in fire officials’ standard daily routine is critical. This study was limited because all factors affecting job satisfaction, such as differences in work, dispatch, and job roles by region, could not be analyzed. Hence, future studies could improve upon these results by investigating a standard daily routine that can be commonly applied to fire officials nationwide, considering the variable factors.
