청년 근로자가 지각한 주관적 사회적 지위와 괜찮은 일자리 관계: 일의 의미, 일 자유의지, 진로적응성의 매개효과

Abstract

This study was conducted by applying the Psychology of Working Theory (PWT) to young workers. Whether the subjective social status perceived by young workers had a significant effect on obtaining decent work, and whether the mediating effect of work meaning, work volition, and career adaptability appeared in this pathway was verified using a structural equation model. The survey was conducted on 500 young workers, and the results of the study are as follows. First, the subjective social status recognized by young workers had a positive and direct effect on decent work, and the work meaning, work volition, and career adaptability had a partial mediating effect on the relationship between the two variables. In addition, it was found that subjective social status predicts the work meaning and work volition. Second, work volition and career adaptability did not directly significantly affect decent work. Third, the work meaning of young workers not only had a mediating effect on obtaining decent work, but also had a significant direct influence. Based on these results, the significance of this study and suggestions for subsequent studies were presented.
