Abstract

In this study, previous studies related to gender integration were reviewd and the actual situation was analyzed through a survey of police officers(N=473) working in Daegu and Gyeongsangbuk-Do. The results are as follows. First, Korean police officers most preferred female police officers performing the same tasks as male police officers except for high-risk tasks(Modified role, M=3.61). The preference for performing the same task regardless of risk(Integrated role, M=3.34) was higher than average(M=3.00), but the consent to performing specialized tasks, such as female offeders or children/juvenile work,(Traditional role, M=2.63) level was low. Second, the background variables and working environment variables of police officers had a certain influence on the attitude toward gender integration. The recently appointed police officers(20s and 30s, less than 10 years of service experience et al.) showed a different attitude from the other police officers, such as preferring a Unified role the most. Third, gender integration is affected by various factors, and self-efficacy has a positive effct on the Unified role attitude and a negative effect on the Traditional role attitude. Fourth, the preference for the Unified role of police officers had a significant positive effect on their job satisfaction. Based on these analysis results, the task of the Korean police for gender integration and the direction of follow-up research were examined.
