비혼부의 직업 생활 경험에 대한 근거이론 연구

Abstract

This study explores the working life experiences of unmarried fathers. The researchers adopted Glaser’s grounded theory research method and Clarke’s situational analysis for the study subjects. The purpose of this study was to analyze the social discourses that affects the contents, context, and structure of 14 unmarried fathers’ working life experiences and to examine their situational knowledge. The research results are as follows. First, the core category analyzed based on Glaser’s approach of the grounded theory is “The reward and hope in the labor for survival with the dream postponed. “ It was found that the core category was affected by the conditions of “Becoming a working machine “ and accidental “Burnout labor”. Here, ‘Lack of human capital investment’ and ‘No leisure time’ are the context that influences the cause and outcome, and this study suggests the structure in which the cause－“Delay in self-development”－leads to the outcome of “Labor without content” in the context. Second, based on the result of Clarke’s situational analysis, the study drew a rough version and an organized version a situational map, showing the work and life experiences of unmarried fathers, a relationship map of the unmarried fathers, and a social/world arena map representing work/regional community. Lastly, through a positional map, the level of interaction and discourse of unmarried fathers were analyzed. Based on the results of the study, the researchers provided suggestions at the social welfare level to support the creation of responsible subjects and the lives of unmarried fathers.
